Thread to help motivate and log progress vids and discussions for the deadlift.

People can continue with the 1.5bw challenge style ,log PB's for single lifts and call out goals.

Feedback on form that is constructive.

Okay well tonight I hit 5x140kg on my max set after doing 8x130kg last week. Will do 140kg again next session and I hope to get 6 or 7 of them out.

My 1RM is 170kg, but I haven't attempted 1RM for a few weeks, so it should be a bit higher now that I'm approaching that figure with my working sets. I love how 1RM and working sets compliment each other on a back and forth!

My current goal is a 200kg deadlift @ 80kg, which I'll be very happy with.

Do ppp and you will be there in no time man.

200kg might not seem like anything in the powerlifting scheme of things, but it is definently a tidy 1rm for your average gym goer!

I haven't plateaued yet, so will just keep doing what I'm doing for now. Yeah man, a year ago I didn't think I'd ever lift close to what I'm doing now...stoked! Think I'll be very happy with 200.

Got out 140kg x 6 tonight...grip gave way on the 7th, just before lockout. Afterwards I couldn't open and close my hands, lol! 3 minutes later and I pulled 150kg x 3.

So...should try for 7 next week or crank the weight up and try for 150kg x 5? Be interesting to see how I do on that 1.5 x bw deadlift challenge now...might have to revisit it in a few weeks.

I sit there like a cripple with my hands all closed up for about a minute before they slowly start to open after deads.

Then another minute for the skin to kind of relax.

I reckon low reps and high weight work better for deadlifts.

I want my back and legs to be tired before my hands give way or before it becomes cardio (5 reps plus)

After doing deads in the 8-12 reps range for a while and then doing 5x5 and PPP for deads, I definently like the lower reps. Sets of 5 are probably what I like doing the most, but singles and triples aren't bad to mix it up.

Why not both?

90 x 10

110 x 10

140 x 7

155 x 4

Had no grip issues tonight, cooler weather = no sweat. Next sesh: 160 for reps.

I'm using chalk, whenever I can find it / steal it from the cross fit section at the gym. My grip is never an issue for 1RM attempts, it's the holding of the bar for extended periods of time that seems to do it.

I don't think I have the strength to lift 200 yet. I'd guess 180, maybe 185 based on my 1RM of 170 when I was doing 120 for 10 reps. I will start training the 1RM again soon, though. Took a bit of a break from it when I stretched a back muscle.

Funnily enough, the older ABC bars have better knurling than the new Ironedge bars we have :/

depends on if you are talking 1RM or reping sets and even then you can do sets of 1RM starting at 100% like below

1RM

3sets of 8 - 12 say 100kg

1 x 110kg

1x120kg

1x130kg

and so forth increasing until failure to see what your 1RM is. obviously you get tired but then you would start at say 80% of that 1RM next week

as for 7x2 i ment max weight that you could do for 7 sets would prob be 130kg instead of a 100kg for 3 sets of 8-12

      I mean technically you don't. And you don't need a wideband if your tune is good. But this is what I was getting at. It's really hard to tune something to that degree. Narrowbands are used to take a 'somewhat accurate map' into stoich, like a boost controller, and you're really just tuning how much 'work' it needs to do, with the aim of 'Better tune, Narrowband/Wideband has to compensate less' But anyone who has ever done something like tuned one day, then DARED to drive on a day where it's 5 degrees colder/warmer, or in a slightly hillier region, or slightly higher altitude will look at their tune and "If only there was some kind of device that could compensate on the fly and hit a target to account for...." And now you know why Narrowbands, Widebands, and things like MAF's exist.

      MAP / fuel pressure typical delay times

      Maybe go log your voltage vs. RPM as you doodling around town. The issue could be your alternator is cactus which has been supplying fluctuating voltage to the rest of your car thus killing your pump early.

      Yeah, but maybe not. Maybe yeah. Maybe not. You know how it is. I mean, if the volts are low and the pump has reduced capacity, then it will maybe not be able to supply enough fuel to keep up with your peak demand, but it really shouldn't make it go lean as you're ramping up, then catch up again. The pump dynamics are (should be) a pretty instant trade off between flow rate and pressure, and even that shouldn't matter because it is actually the job of the fuel pressure regulator to take care of that dynamic, leaving the pump to see pretty much the same pressure and flow conditions any time the engine is running.

      One thing I do like about innovate is their ability to simulate a narrowband O2 output, great for deleting the OEM O2 and feeding that 0-1V simulated voltage back to the stock ECU. Great for PowerFC users, Nistune users that do not have the luxury of ingesting wideband 02 data. And before anyone says "yOu doN't nEEd O2 fEEdbACk iF yOUR tUNe is goOd" can GTFO.

      Misfire/stalling issues

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      The R32 ECU won't know why it is misfiring. This is likely to be a problem with the speedo drive cable. it could be broken and still driving, but lets go from time to time (which is unlikely, but possible). You could have damage at the plastic connector between it and the input to the speedo head. That's where mine broke. You could have gearbox oil creeping up the drive cable from a failed seal in the speedo drive at the gearbox. This is able to climb all the way up and gunk up the inside of the speedo. I had this too, and had to dismantle everything and very very gingerly clean the speedo out.
