Yep I do lock out that way and I love my scars from making love to the bar. I never experienced pain attempting deadlifts post-injury*, I was just cautious about doing them during recovery because of putting so much weight on the joint. The great Rev advised me that my kind of injury could be aggravated by them and just about heavy weight placed on the arm.

*I did try 90kg about 2 weeks after the injury initially occurred, to test for pain, and I had a bit of a pinch when the injured arm was supinated, but not when pronated.

Very surprised I was able to lift that given my absence from the exercise and straight after squats (normally did deads on a seperate day). I'd attribute it to maintaining my back with squats in the meantime. Here's hoping I can continue these cause I really missed them and my weekly progress!

Yeah, 2 months off and I did I PB. Not as much is lost as people think.

Fark me, my entire back is really sore and it feels awesome...like newbie DOMS.

Having not done any lat work for 2 months either, this is the first time I've properly felt the effects of deadlifts all over the back. I guess previously I was doing so much lat exercise that the upper back never felt it and I thought deadlifts were only about the lower back! Great to feel/know how comprehensive the exercise actually is.

90kg x 10

110kg x 10

140kg x 4

90kg x 10

110kg x 10

140kg x 6

My form was a bit better tonight on the heavier weight. Other good news is, I'm only 1 rep off what I used to do on 140kg. Next week I'll try for 7 reps of 140kg, followed by whatever I can bust out of 150kg.

Current goal: 200kg 1RM

Next goal: 220kg 1RM

I deadlifted 40kg x 5... then I had to ice my back... it's well and truly fckd... long rehab ahead... so very, very, very gay

I wouldn't normally read too much into that until I read your comment in the 'squatting' thread about wanting to see big buys with big legs racing bikes and getting sweaty and puffed out.... lol

on the bright side I'm going to be doing a heap of upper body work... so I should be pretty jacked by summer lol

lol we're polar opposites. Hoping to have jacked legs by summer, can't do upper body due to injury :/

Man I'm really sorry to hear this.

As I said... plenty of time to compete.

It's not like the next nationals is going to be worse than this year... it will always be bigger and better than the last one.

you better start eating then mate... big legs are hard work... especially for a taller bloke

Yes sir! I've put on quite a bit of size already over the last year, thanks to noob gains and filling up an hour long gym session with nothing but leg training. Looking much more proportionate than ever after years of neglecting legs, so pretty stoked about that. Do want more strength and size in them, though!

And I miss bench / overhead press / pulldowns :(

Thanks dude... yeah of course your right but it's still frustrating... this was the first time I'd done Max's program for a comp and it was a lot more organised and structured than what I was doing... also a lot more volume which was really working... I'd never felt stronger

I'd just settle for being pain free for day to day shit at the moment... never considered the amount of shit that's painful to do with a crook back... whoever designed a dishwasher can get fcked lol

Birds I feel your pain mate... just gotta get in there and do what we can

    • Sounds more like what Brad said, that it's mainly transfer. What pad bed in procedure did you use, and did you replace/machine the rotors, or just swap pads?
    • The stutter is almost entirely in the pedal. I don't feel the brakes release and reapply as you would with ABS engaging but the pedal feels that way, without the brakes releasing. It only lasts for less than a second and the pedal is fine again. It's hard to explain, sorry.  I'll get under this weekend and just double check everything is tight. Fluid is at max where I left it.
    • What bedding in procedure did you use?   When you say stutter, what exactly do you mean? Like it feels like someone letting go of the brakes momentarily and regrabbing them again to get you to stop? Re-reading your post, and that is what it kind of makes me think you're explaining, like theres a little bit of a jolt, likely just as you're reaching a stop. I've only had this issue once. And if its caused by what caused mine, you will want to get the car up on stands again and check it over. Mine was a case of a caliper mounting bolt coming out and letting the caliper rotate on the other remaining bolt and gave play in a wheel as it came to a stop. But not every stop either!
    • Yeop... binned it   This will be a summary will not many pics atm and cbf  Fixed the samsonas - it was totally munched Put a new precision 7675 T4 on with proper split pulse mani Got to Sydney to get to car - drove to canberra to get racecar - drive back to sydney that night Next day all day at Plasmaman putting on new clamps cleaning some things up and adding another large engine oil cooler sitting at the rear above diffuser to keep things cooler Next day - Tuesday - on Dyno - killer wikid awesome pumped out really good numbers - more mid range and on lower boost levels Wednesday - first prac - all day again getting the suspension right - had to borrow front suspension again - out do a lap come in - out do a lap - in - what i had just couldnt handle the load at the more consistent higher speeds - got a lap in at the end of the day that was pretty reasonable  Put it this way that lap wouldve had me in 4th in Pro am for the whole event - with only 700 hp and used tyres Thurs first official prac day - lap out warm up - then entered a hotlap with above setting and 80% effort took corners 1,2,3 and into 4 car felt awesome -  rear came around out of nowhere bang into the wall near front on at whatever 140 kmph Done, over, gone Just one of those how did that happen apparently as all indications show nothing out of the ordinary Got to spend the rest of the time at the event like I hadnt done before - was actually Ok mainly as I had my family and my boy is 9 and got treated like a rockstar Long trip home, lost a trailer wheel in nowhere land, X5 airbag suspension gave up half way across nullabour and rode on bumps stops (its now completely fine) had to do a 19 hr drive day on day 3 as accommodation got screwed up so just had to keep driving till found a town with some Now to reassess - hopefully the motor and other things are OK but yet to be seen too. There is no easy fix there is no i'll just order that part and get it sent - we'll have a talk to people see what can happen and what the go is but at minimum its rebuild from scratch struts forward and alot of time effort and $ should and if I return and if but maybe/ when  I have the cage tied into the front strut towers - if I didnt have that things couldnt been worse you can say its just a front end but if you know what goes into these cars... you'll know what that actually means in reality   Car was very fast. Disappointing we just didnt get to show it Effort doesnt win you races though     Apparently this is motorsport !  
    • Thanks, will do that.  Thankfully they still feel great.
