MATE where is this?? hehe.

You are a beginner if you cant bench 100kg, squat 140kg and deadlift

180kg. I dont care what your bodyweight is, get bigger, its why your

lifting. Bodyweight is not an excuse.

I posted this up on another forum a year ago. The pissweak pencil neck

poindexters all pointed out that it was biased against skinny guys.

Crap. If your skinny, eat something. At the time Max weighed 60kg and

wasnt remotely close to any of those lifts.

One year later he only has the bench to go, he is only a handful of kg's

away. That sounds about right. If you train correctly, you should be

able to achieve these goals in a year, regardless of bodyweight. Not

many on here lighter than Max was, so no complaints.

The record for achieving all these lifts at PTC from complete beginner

was Vocy, he did it in under 3 months from never touching a weight, he

weighed 100kg. Benny did it in roughly the same, around 10 weeks.

Now, if your a beginner, here is what you need to do, for between 3-12 months.

Squat 3 x 10

Bench press 3 x 8

Bent row 3 x 8

Military press 3 x 8

SLDL 3 x 8

BB curl 3 x 8

Do this 3 times a week. Progressively add weight.

If youve been training for longer than 12 months and cant make ALL those

lifts, you've been kidding yourselves, wasting your time on rubbish.

If somebody gave you a pile of ****, and said it was free, would you

keep it, simply cause its free? Of course not, you have no use for it.

Just because something is free doesnt mean its useful.

Does anyone have an example of what they'd call good form for squats. SLDL and rows?

These 3 are the ones that cause the most back grief if done wrong and if I'm going to try stepping those up I want to be sure I'm doing them right.

To confirm, when he talks about achieving those numbers, does he mean in the sets on 1 rep?

There are plenty of vids online.

If you are getting back issues, then sort those out.

you might have flexibility or mobility issues.

"back grief" doesn't really say much.

when I do deads my lower back is sore to touch for 2 days - you could consider that grief.

do you have an injury?

does it hurt when you perform the lift or straight after or days later?

type of pain?

A better place to start would be to go do a set of 5 reps of squats with some weight on the bar and post it and ask for advice.

or better yet, 2 vids.

1 from the side, one from front.

If you don't want to post it, then head over to startingstrength.com

there is a forum there which is FULL of videos from newbies to lifting asking for advice.

compare yours to theirs.

OOOOOOOORRRRRRRRR...

you're in Vic.

make a trip to PTC Frankston, pay a few dollars and get advice and coaching directly from the bald tattooed horses mouth. :D

sure it's 4 hours drive but that's not my problem...

Edited by TTT

Specifically, I had a lower right back "twinge" when I was squatting and SLDL last time. I had a mate (training for comp bodybuilding) look over my form and he said he thought it was fine and that being comfortable was a good indicator.

I'll watch a few more vids and save myself the 8hr round trip.

Are those numbers 1 rep numbers or during sets, in terms of if you can't do this you are a beginner.

lol shit man what do you want?

Numbers on the magical del scale of pain?

Twinge, discomfort, pain, desire to not continue doing whatever is causing that discomfort.

As opposed to seriously painful, debilitating, can't get out of bed or operate normally without issues.

​Twinge = minor inconvenience in my book. .

When it's a twinge nah not going to a chrio/physio for that, I simply stopped doing what was aggravating it and stretched more, same shit they'd tell me for $80.

If it hurts, stop doing it, stretch or strengthen the area then carry on.

Been enough times with other injuries to know the drill.

That said, what I asked for was tips on form, not advice on how to manage an injury or the definition of twinge or grief lol

I'll watch some more videos and go from there. My back will tell if I'm on the right track.

I did my PB with a twinge in my back.

A physio would most likely rub and release the issue and give you stretches to aid in avoiding future aggravation.

You'll strengthen the area by lifting more.

we gave you suggestions on technique.

You may have perfect form, that twinge could be totally unrelated to the exercise you're performing

Nice work.

Yeah been to physios plenty for other things, you're lucky if you get one that actively rubs/works the area these days. I've been stretching heaps because of my leg anyway, flexibility has always been an issue for me but it's getting better, I can almost palm the ground after a few walm up stretches now which is good for me.

So the answer is unsurprisingly, SQUAT lol

Suggestions noted, videos queued.

just keep in mind that having hamstrings that allow you to touch the ground doesn't mean that your lower back muscles are also ready. Or your hip flexors, or achilles, or quads, or groin, or knee joint, or shoulders...

All of which play big parts in squatting.

Yes. Squat is always the solution.

To everything related to the gym. and health in general.

quite possibly the answer to the "my r33 gtst has a huge miss at 4500rpm" issue.

I squat, and my RB25 doesn't have this issue.

what more evidence would you need?

Squats cure Cancer and misfires and whimps

LOL

I'll keep that mind for any of lifes problems :D

​Didn't mean to say it was reason to believe I was ready for anything, beyond touching the ground, simpply that my flexibility is not great but that I've improved on aspect of it. /'

Mu CA doesn't make enough torque, squats will fix it?

LOL nice.

I've had a 25, a 26 and now the CA and the CA is by far the cheapest platform for a budget track car.

Maybe squats will help me push the pedal harder and I'll go faster because of it.

    • Seat of the pants assessment of the new intake: The car is way less "doughy" when hitting the loud pedal, especially off idle when stopped or in traffic, I did use a cheapo lazer thermal thingo to measure the temp around where the pod filter got its air, it was between 55 - 60°C, in saying this the car was shut off and not moving, so the OEM intake pipe was not supplying any fresh air to where the pod was when the car was at least moving A weird bonus was induction noise on the throttle in the cabin increased a bit,  I was worried that I was actually going to lose some of that induction noise I love so much, outside though, when I got the daughter to do a WOT drive by pass for me, the induction noise has increased alot when on the throttle, not quite ITB doort, but well up there I'm extremely happy with the results and have been exploring the country roads in the region  As for house mods: 1.New front fence is up and is awesome, it really upgraded how the joint looks from the street, and the added security is nice 2. Electricians have replace some interior lights, and with more lighting in the garage, a few new motion detecting lights out the front above the garage, front room, and at the front door, which I have already found heaps helpful coming and going, also now has fancy pants CCTV all round the house The only hold point for power though is the solar and batteries due to supply issues, although this will happen over the next few weeks 3. I have done a heap of landscaping out the front and I'm almost ready to do a new small retaining wall with some nice blocks to replace the brick and cemented in rocks around the raised garden beds cemented in river stone "was the fashion at the time" the house was built. I currently have a pallet of retaining wall blocks and 2 bulka bags of 20mm blue metal to replace the wood chip that is in the raised garden beds around the house 4. I now have 3 big raised garden beds for out the back to grow some vegetables, about 70cm high, 200cm long and 100cm wide 5. My 2 compost bins are already pretty full with brown, green and kitchen waste from the landscaping I'vedone so far, but they will probably take a few months to break down, so anything else that gets chopped, trimmed, and kitchen waste will just start filling the base of the raised garden beds to about 30cm before I start throwing 40cm of good compost, and stuff, for the vegetables to grow in, I'll need a few ton of compost and soil, but the local supplier can sent me bulka bags of the stuff Basically the logs, wood chips and a few strategically placed rocks for drainage, will give the beds some good organic materials down low to break down over time, and they will hold moisture during the warmer months to save the water in my big arse water tank if we don't get alot of rain So, all in all, the car and house mods are going well, and I'm really enjoying being retired, I sleep in too 0700 and slowly plod around inside until I feel like actually doing anything, and only work in the yard for as long as want, which has actually been alot over the last few weeks,  although when you look at it, it seems that not a huge amount of work has been done,  until I look at the before I started the work pics Happy days and good times indeed 
    • hahaha yeah. Plan is to get side skirts and probably just rear pods. But going to do them one-by-one. I've got a set that I really like from RHDJapen, but that one isn't shipped to AU. So need to find someone who can get it for me
    • Here's an idea, answer the questions I asked you as they are trying to work out WHY the LSD will be binding up in a straight line.
    • You haven't driven many modern cars then have you? Most of them have sfa steering feel with their stupid electric bullshit steering systems.
