Fark!

OK, I did 110kg just earlier. Managed 14 reps (followed by 2 further sets at 7 reps). 73kg bodyweight.

Uploading video now, but it'll be on its f**king side coz even though my phone realises it's still upright, it records videos as if it were being held 90 deg to the side. f**king stupid.

I got THE WORST cramp in my upper glute/hip region somewhere though, holy shit. Was unbearable.

EDIT: video at 90% upload as of 10:30. Almost done...

EDIT 2: and it's done.

You might have a slight impingement likely in the piriformis. If you press just right or left of your tailbone (top of you glutes) and you feel some pain it's piriformis.

You got sloppy on the last reps , back postition looked a bit far back hard to tell from the phone angle but, it's marked against the more tidy reps early. Thats where you might ahve got the issue if you have any.

Get some ice on , stretch and rest then see what happens. If you have a foam roller, do the lower back, ITB's and you can roll the piriformis as well to help unlock it. You can also use something like a cricket ball for the piriformis.

If you have shooting pains in the leg tomorrow go to a physio.

Touch wood it's just workout pain.

Nice one Troy that's rad. Everyone's form goes a little cactus when you're pushing it, naturally. But pain might be a worry!

Will do a test run tomorrow @ body weight 65kg then proper on tuesday when I have a camera man :)

thanks guys and girls :) Nah was definitely just a cramp, and wasn't anything I'd consider to be my "back". it went away quick enough... and I'd be too busy stretching, rolling, icing, and hitting the voltaren to bother posting this video if I thought it was anything to do with mid-lower back. Been there, was not pleasant :(

It's just hit me that I've gotta bust out at least 14 reps of 120kg or Troy has a better power to weight. I can't let that happen, I won't let that happen, and I can't let that happen.

Nice!!

Do you feel it more today than a usual session?

umm, a little bit. It's a different kind of DOMS than just pushing out 5 reps of a "heavy" weight. I think I might swap shit up and just rep things on a lighter than usual weight until absolute failure now (except maybe squats, don't want to die/look like a clown/shit my pants).

Oh and regarding my form going to shit towards the end, haha yeah given the purpose of this exercise I don't see how that would have been avoidable :P was absolutely ensuring to keep core TIGHT! Plus I still wasn't feeling particularly happy in the gut, so I could possibly have gone a bit further on a good day. Will update my build thread with future results of repping til failure.

dude, your form was fine. Even the last reps were better than 90% of the people i see deadlifting fresh.

hahaha thanks Simon! :) now that I see another vid though, I can see I might be a bit far forward over the bar...perhaps...

it's a rep challenge so I wouldn't be fussed.

But if you were to reset each rep like your first, you wouldn't be forward of the bar and your lower back would not round as much (which I'm more worried about)

Your first rep was a deadlift, then the rest were much close to a stiff legged deadlift.

but you wouldn't have got as many reps.

Watch it again and judge by the position of your lower back against the line in the wall.

you start higher and higher each rep..

If you felt tight then all good.

Top effort and so far, you are the winner.... :D

    • Thank you, 100% the intent. New coils were due and the 17" sixers look/feel loads better than the stock wheels. The aero options are so spot on.   Thanks for the warm welcome, all!
    • 98 r34 gtt Been rocking my latest setup and car running like never before. Have put a good 200 miles on it since all the latest changes and additions. everything is dialed in and have been driving it a bunch.   However, all a sudden last weekend as soon as I pushed throttle passed 4k and the engine stumbles, (slow or fast acceleration) hesitates and doesn’t go above 4100 or so, like a misfire. Everything else seems fine. I had a “good” set of coil packs that I removed from car when I first got it when I changed them over to new coils. I swapped out current ones for those, but no change. I also changed the plugs, no change. Seems to rev over 4 when out of gear with no load just fine no “misfire”, but as soon as its in gear with a load of any kind, it “misfires” as soon as rpm drop back below 4 k it runs perfectly, smooth, starts, restarts and drives fine as long as I keep it below 4 k while in gear. All readings look fine, no CEL   Any idea as to what could all a sudden cause an issue when pushing rpms passed 4 k?
    • When you say your cams are 272/262 is that 272in and 262ex?
    • We're arguing semantics. I am saying 45 accel and a 55 deccel ramp are "2 ways". Even a 45 degree ramp and an 89 degree ramp is "2 ways", because it is literally... two ways. The cusco 55/30 ramp is a 2 way. It's two ways. I get it though - in normal nomenclature a "2 way" would be 45/45 or 55/55 or 60/60 i.e the same locking in both directions. And something like 45/65 would be considered "1.5 way". I would then say if we're getting into the nitty gritty then every locking diff is a "2 way" diff and we should not speak in 1.5, or 2 ways but ramp angles instead. Which ofc if one of those ramp angles is 90deg, that side is not doing any locking. :p So Nismo don't obviously sell 3 things. The fact of the matter that they only sell two items really goes to show that there's a 2 way and a "1,5 way" which is really a 1 way. I believe the actual lockup for the 'adjustability' of the GT pro is really just setting preload for when the ramps actually start locking up. It's not changing how much 'wayness' there is. It is (somehow) horribly explained. People just buy whatever diff and go "locks up good bruh" and that's what ends up on socials forever.
