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

    • The German place in Cabramatta was rock solid, fresh pretzel cooked to order back then. Then it went all quiet, after all the poker machines were removed, then I believe it closed for good. I did drive past the other week and noticed outdoor lighting a big screen, but no idea what is there now.  
    • Yeah I suspect even if you hold airmass per cycle/cylinder constant if you get too far away from stock you're still going to have problems running the factory tune within the bounds of the factory load scale. Cams, different displacement/rod ratio, etc. I'm just lucky that the GTIII-SS with wastegate boost + CA compliance cats is pretty much equivalent to stock turbos. When I have actual space I can finally get it tuned and modify the fuel system for flex fuel to 100% handle any detonation concerns when cranking the boost to whatever those dinky turbos can put out.
    • I would say no, why, because my daughter, who also lives in Goulburn, hasn't recommended us going there Pity, as we miss all the German joints around in Sydney, actually, the restaurants are the only thing I really miss about Sydney, and a special mention to Ishibanboshi at Bondi Junction, their Kara-age Don is heart cloggingly deliciousness (always added a special boiled egg...or 2) 😋 
    • Does that German restaurant still exist in the old place out the NW end of Goulburn? When I say "out the NW end of"...I am really being vague. It was 1997 when I was last there, and the only point of reference I can recall is that it was on the opposite side of the main drag from the big merino. And when I say "opposite side of the main drag", I don't mean "on the main drag". It was either a couple of streets back from there, or might have even been out in the sticks a bit further. Was an old farm building or mill or somesuch. And when I say "the big merino" I might actually be thinking of a completely different part of town, because I just looked on maps and the big bugger is not where I remembered him to be! The food was good, consisting largely of various German mystery-meat sausage/loaf things and kartofflen.
    • So while the second sentence is completely correct and the whole point of the conversation, the first sentence bears consideration. If this bloke is just hoping to throw big turbos on and drive it around, because there are no helpful facilities at all in his tropical paradise** then he likely has zero chance of even knowing what the TP is on the last column in the stock maps, let alone know whether the ECU is operating anywhere near it or past it. So the point is very very moot. And, per what I said before, at stock boost on those turbos, you may well be off the end of the map. **I'm just back from Vanuatu, so I know exactly what small Pacific nations can be like wrt paradise without requisite facilities. But it's not even that simple. I put a high flow on my car and had to drive it around without a proper tune because of the lack of opportunity*** to put the bigger AFM and injectors into it to allow it to be tuned. I had to turn the boost down to less than I had before, and back off the boost controller's ramp, because it was exploring parts of the map that it didn't drive in before, and really couldn't access for tuning on the dyno either, and so was pinging. It was still well within the last column, because when I first**** set up the Nistune on the Neo I rescaled all axes of the maps to give some more space to explore. ***Family dyno was broken ****This was 13 years ago, and the TIM thing wasn't a thing then and so TP would definitely grow when pushing past the stock tune's limits.
