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

      After market rear camber arm adjustment

      By V35Newbie · Posted

      I know I have to get a wheel alignment but until then I just need to bring the rear tyres in a bit they're wearing to the belt on the inside and brand new on the outside edge. I did shorten the arms a bit but got it wrong now after a few klms the Slip and VDC lights come on. I'd just like to get it to a point where I can drive for another week or two before getting an alignment. I've had to pay a lot of other stuff recently so doing it myself is my only option

      By Duncan · Posted

      You just need a wheel alignment after, so just set them to the same as current and drive to the shop. As there are 2 upper links it may also be worth adding adjustable upper front links at the same time; these reduce bump steer when you move the camber (note that setting those correctly takes a lot longer as you have to recheck the camber at each length of the toe arm, through a range of movement, so you could just ignore that unless the handling becomes unpredictable)

      After market rear camber arm adjustment

      By V35Newbie · Posted

      I got adjustable after market rear camber arm to replace the stock one's because got sick of having to buy new rear tyres every few months. Can anyone please let me know what the best adjustment length would be. I don't have the old ones anymore to get measurements. I'm guessing the stock measurement minus a few mm would do it. Please any help on replacing them would be fantastic I've watched the YouTube clips but no-one talks about how long to set the camber arm to.

      Heh. I copied the link to the video direct, instead of the thread I mentioned. But the video is the main value content anyway. Otherwise, yes, in Europe, surely you'd be expected to buy local. Being whichever flavour of Michelin, Continental or Pirelli suits your usage model.

      Continental have consistently beaten the absolute shit out of every other performance tyre in Wet/Damp/Cold conditions and give up a little bit of time (half a second at most) in the dry. Almost like it's engineered for German conditions or something. I'd def give those a try.
