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

    • For once a good news  It needed to be adjusted by that one nut and it is ok  At least something was easy But thank you very much for help. But a small issue is now(gearbox) that when the car is stationary you can hear "clinking" from gearbox so some of the bearing is 100% not that happy... It goes away once you push clutch so it is 100% gearbox. Just if you know...what that bearing could be? It sounding like "spun bearing" but it is louder.
    • Yeah, that's fine**. But the numbers you came up with are just wrong. Try it for yourself. Put in any voltage from the possible range and see what result you get. You get nonsense. ** When I say "fine", I mean, it's still shit. The very simple linear formula (slope & intercept) is shit for a sensor with a non-linear response. This is the curve, from your data above. Look at the CURVE! It's only really linear between about 30 and 90 °C. And if you used only that range to define a curve, it would be great. But you would go more and more wrong as you went to higher temps. And that is why the slope & intercept found when you use 50 and 150 as the end points is so bad halfway between those points. The real curve is a long way below the linear curve which just zips straight between the end points, like this one. You could probably use the same slope and a lower intercept, to move that straight line down, and spread the error out. But you would 5-10°C off in a lot of places. You'd need to say what temperature range you really wanted to be most right - say, 100 to 130, and plop the line closest to teh real curve in that region, which would make it quite wrong down at the lower temperatures. Let me just say that HPTuners are not being realistic in only allowing for a simple linear curve. 
    • I feel I should re-iterate. The above picture is the only option available in the software and the blurb from HP Tuners I quoted earlier is the only way to add data to it and that's the description they offer as to how to figure it out. The only fields available is the blank box after (Input/ ) and the box right before = Output. Those are the only numbers that can be entered.
    • No, your formula is arse backwards. Mine is totally different to yours, and is the one I said was bang on at 50 and 150. I'll put your data into Excel (actually it already is, chart it and fit a linear fit to it, aiming to make it evenly wrong across the whole span. But not now. Other things to do first.
    • God damnit. The only option I actually have in the software is the one that is screenshotted. I am glad that I at least got it right... for those two points. Would it actually change anything if I chose/used 80C and 120C as the two points instead? My brain wants to imagine the formula put into HPtuners would be the same equation, otherwise none of this makes sense to me, unless: 1) The formula you put into VCM Scanner/HPTuners is always linear 2) The two points/input pairs are only arbitrary to choose (as the documentation implies) IF the actual scaling of the sensor is linear. then 3) If the scaling is not linear, the two points you choose matter a great deal, because the formula will draw a line between those two points only.
