I upped a guys PB by 20kg in 5 minutes by raising his hips up

He'd been deadlifting 190kg for nearly a year, 5 minutes later it was 210kg

He was trying to squat the weight up

Check out Martins vid, he pulls 281kg@79kg

Deadlifts are a back exercise

you are right. I thought he was talking about too high vs normal. My vids are on the bit too high side to work my back more , I remember going a lower when going for heavy lifts but, still not squat level. At least that's what I remember doing been a long time. I'm not ready to go real heavy again yet.

Didn't someone do 25?

Added grumbles now, was looking forward to actually pushing it with the squats, 20 still had heaps of room left for more. Got a full 10 out the other day at 72.5 with room so wanted to increase that too. Guess I'll be doing this contest who-knows-when the shoulder is better.

I was... but I'm in the middle of a program for GPC states and TTT scared me by telling me not to hurt myself... I should've done it today when I trained...

I won't win anyway, I HATE deadlifts for reps... anything over 5 sucks balls lol

He just scared you so that so he can beat you and make sure he controls the next challenge....

I don't think it's the reps over 5 you 'hate' , so much as the rest in between sets that your oldman-itis 'likes'. After all , add those 5 rep sets up and you may as well just keep going for 15-20 in a row? ha ha.... just do it and compete . It's more win!

Bit of a noob question...is it normal to have pain after deadlifts? I usually only get it after doing sets of high weight or 1RMing, so it's related to heavy exertion...and it disappears after about 15-20 minutes. I can't tell if it's muscles aching or joints, so am a tad concerned. Have always had it, since doing deadlifts. I ask my friend if he feels the same after deadlifts and he refers to a tightness in his back muscles...but I'm not sure if we're talking the same thing, cause this makes leaning over the basin to wash hands at the end of a session quite painful.

I have had back issues in the past due to bad posture at work, so get cautious when it comes to back pains. And no other exercise gives me that feeling in the area being worked.

I started a DL challenge over on my forum, 2.5 x bw for men and double bodyweight for women

Nina went first and managed 120kg x 10@58kg

I'll get a few of the guys to do some next week, mind you, Zoran, Spiros, Rocky, Mick and Max cant get close, only Martin would beat her 10 at 2.5 x bw (men)

Is it Normal? No.

Is it normal for me? Yes..

lol

Don't be too worried mate.

I'd say you probably didn't hold as tight for one rep or perhaps hyperextended a little at the top on a couple of reps.

When you get a chance, lay on your back and bring your knees up until your whole back (including lower back) is flat on the floor.

lay like that for 5 minutes so it all settles.

nights sleep and you'll be fine.

This is also the reason I don't like lots of reps.

you get tired and sloppy.

I've got one more week of 12 reps and then down to 7 weeks of 5 reps, then 2 weeks of 3s, then 1 week of doubles, then it's time to Beat Nick!

lol

    • Welcome to Skyline ownership. Yes, it is entirely possible parts websites get things wrong. There's a whole world of inaccuracies out there when it comes to R34 stuff (and probably 33 and 32). Lots of things that are 'just bolt on, entirely interchangable' aren't. Even between S1 and S2 R34's. Yes they have a GTT item supposedly being 296mm. This is incorrect. I would call whoever you got them from and return them and let them know the GTT actually uses 310mm rotors. Depending on where you got them from your experience and success will obviously vary.
    • Hi...a bit a "development" on the brakes. I spoke to the guys where i get brakes from...and they are saying that 296mm EBC are for R34 GT-T. I then went to their site: https://www.ebcbrakes.com/vehicle/uk-row/NISSAN/Skyline (R34)/ and search for my car(R34 GT 1998 - it has GTT brakes) and it show me this USR1229 number and they are rly 296mm rotors... So now iam rly confused... The rotors i have now on the car are 310mm asi shown... So where is the problem? Does the whole EBC got it wrong or my calipers are just...idk know what?  
    • Oh What the hell, I used to get a "are you sure you want to reply, this thread is XX months old" message. Maybe a software update remove that. My bad.
    • This is a recipe for disaster* Note: Disaster is relative. The thing that often gets lost in threads like this is what is considered acceptable poke and compromise between what one person considers 'good' looks and what someone else does. The quoted specs would sit absurdly outside the guards with the spacers mentioned and need  REALLY thin tyres and a LOT of camber AND rolling the guards to fit. Some people love this. Some people consider this a ruined car. One thing is for certain though, rolling the guards is pretty much mandatory for any 'good' fitment (of either variety). It is often the difference between any fitment remotely close to the guards. "Not to mention the rears were like a mm from hitting the coilovers." I have a question though - This spec is VERY close to what I was planning to buy relative to the inboard suspension - I have an offset measuring tool on the way to confirm it. When you say "like a mm" do you mean literally 1mm? Or 2mm? Cause that's enough clearance for me in the rear :p I actually found the more limiting factor ISNT the coilover but the actual suspension arms. Did you take a look at how close those were?
