Height = 190cm

Weight = 84kg

Deadlift = 190kg x 1 (approx. 4 weeks ago) - no straps. Over/underhand grip.

Slight problem with sciatic nerve that was and is still persisting. Will get that sorted soon. Implementing explosive plyometrics into my routine over the uni holidays due to the extra time I will have, this is to develop increased explosive strength and improve my CNS (will help to recruit muscle fibres quicker)...Should be able to hit 210kg by the end of July.

Plyometrics training should take 5 minutes, no need to wait for holidays

Dont overdo it, very dangerous on joints, theres a reason top powerlifters don't do them. I suggest jumping up, not down if you plan on doing them. Jump training is very valuable. I have my novice lifters do them, none of my top lifters do any at all.

If you want to increase bar speed on deads off the floor, I suggest powercleans or high pulls if you cant do cleans properly

As mentioned plyometrics for deads? I wouldn't think that would do much. I did this years ago for running, like Markos said you don't spend much time on them. You also need some good recovery time between sessions in a week/month to help prevent hurting tendons and joints.

CNS for deads I imagine, would include targeting different phases, probably look at the part of the movement you are weakest at. I only have limited knowledge but, I would think there are plenty of variations like heavier block/rack lifts and using bands. Maybe there is some sort of dead lift drill where you lift out of a rack at close to lock out height and then lower and lift to allow an explosive stretch/ contraction?

Lots of people seem to have issues getting out of the starting blocks which I think has as much to do with technique for the setup.

90kg x 10

110kg x 10

150kg x 4

Cranked out these after bench, squats and leg press. Wow was I taxed. Have to get the split routine going next week for more energy into each exercise. Probably could have done 5 of 150, but form blah blah. Will try for 6 of them next week and then resume 1RM training to snag that 200.

<3 deadlifts

90kg x 10

110kg x 10

160kg x 3

Form was a tiny bit dicey on the 160; might scale back to 150 for higher reps next session, before stepping up to 160 again. Good to be back at what I was doing before though.

Cause my form wasn't fantastic on just one set...I don't like stepping up weight if my form isn't spot on ready for it. Wasn't hitching or anything, just felt like there was a touch of rounding. Might get someone to watch me on 160 next time and see what they think.

Every time I do deadlifts I get picked up by a PT at the gym for rounding my back. I have no idea I'm doing it so I don't know how to stop it. I look up, keep my back straight, chest out, shoulders back but every time I get told I'm rounding my back, now they've told me I need to lower my weights so I'm at 35kg instead of 60 last week! I'm really starting to get upset and pissed off, can anyone please help me out? Thank you

Meant to load up 150kg and accidentally had 140kg instead. Only realised this after my first rep; it felt lighter than 150kg, so I pushed through for 7 reps like I used to do on 140kg. It felt good and with good form, so I thought I'd give 160kg for reps another shot afterwards. Came up good and clean, so I'm stoked. Officially back to what I was pre-shoulder injury. Will see if I can get out 160kg for 4-5 reps next week. Once I get to 5 reps, I will step it up to 165kg for reps and so on, until I plateau, at which point I will introduce 1RM training to break through it. If I can make my way to 180kg for reps, the 200kg single should be doable.

PTC Perth or Musclepit

In my experience, you can write what PT's know about deadlifting and squatting on the back of a stamp with a crayon

How much do you weigh Leesh?

I am in Perth with Leesh this weekend; I will see if we can fit in a visit to one of these gyms, so that someone can have a look at her deadlift technique once in a while, as it's near impossible for me to coach her 3000km away and these pissweak cert 3 PTs who keep coming up to her trying to get a client are starting to piss me off.

See the guys at Muscle Pit , it's a fair bit closer to Leesh (south of the river). Henry Day is a top bloke.

    • LOL.... a good amount of people (not all) on that continent seem to know everything and like to measure things in bananas, football fields, statue of liberties instead of the metric system lol.
    • I assume the modules are similar enough, so if you've had no issues I don't see why I would. I have tried to find a wiring diagram for the FPCM / fuel pump circuit, but I can't find it anywhere. Otherwise, I would just do some wire cutting and joining at the FPCM and give the 12 V supplied to the FPCM directly to the pump instead. If you know anyone that could help with wiring diagrams, I'd be very happy  
    • If it dies, then bypass. The task isn't difficult. I have one running on a standard R32 FPCM. That's after nearly 20 years of it running an 040, which pull substantially more current than the Walbro. They're not the same module, but I'd hope it indicates that the R33 one should be man enough for the job. I think people kill them when putting proper sized pumps on them, not these little toy pumps we're talking about here.
    • Silicone spray won't hurt anything. And if it does, that's an opportunity to put some solid steel spherical bushings in, so you can really learn what suspension noise sounds like, If you're going to try it, just spray one bush at a time, so you can work out which one is actually noisy. My best guess is that if the noise started only since putting the coilovers in, then it is just noise being transmitted up through the top mounts of the struts, and not necessarily "new" noise from bushes. But it's almost impossible to know.
    • Are you saying the 34 is SUV height, and not that we're talking about an SUV here? (because if we're talking about an SUV, you don't fix them. You just replace them when something breaks. Not worth establishing sufficient emotional connection with an SUV to warrant doing any work on one). I wouldn't jack my car up on a short little loop of 10mm steel rod poking out through a hole in the bumper bar, front or rear end. I realise that we're probably not talking about that type of loop at the front, being the one under/behind the bar on a Skyline.... but even for that one, trying to jack up on what amounts to a thin piece of steel, designed purely for withstanding a horizontal tension force, not a vertical compressive force (and so would be prone to buckling/crushing) and, my most particular bitch about it - located RIGHT AT THE EXTREME FRONT OF THE CAR, applying a load up through the radiator support panel, etc, with almost the entire mass of the car cantilevered between there and the rear wheels? Nope. Not doing that. Not on the regular. That structure out there in front of the front crossmember is not designed to carry load in the vertical direction. Not really designed to carry any load at all, really. The chassis rail that the tow point is connected to would be fine loaded in tension, as per towing. Not intended to carry the mass of the whole car, especially loaded all on one rail, with twisting and all sorts of shitty load distribution going on. No, I will happily drive up on some pieces of wood, thanks. That can only happen on driven wheels, and they are at the other end of the car, and this problem does not exist at that end of the car. And even then, I have been known to drive up on at least 1x piece of 2x8 each side at the rear, simply to reduce the amount of jack pumping necessary to get the car up high enough for the jack stands. What really really shits me about Skylines is the lack of decent places for chassis stands at either end of the car. You'd think they'd be designed into the crossmembers.
