Bit of a setback in training after my holiday in Perth and two subsequent colds. Earlier this week I pulled:

90kg x 10

110kg x 10

140kg x 6

160kg x 2

90kg x 10

110kg x 10

140kg x 8

160kg x 3

170kg x 1

Great session tonight. Most reps I've ever pulled on 140 and I was happy about 160 for reps afterwards, followed by a 170 single. Need to work out where to go from here - likely switch the 140 for 150 and either try 4 reps of 160 or a 175 single. Either way, I'm inching towards that 200, which would be great to pull after all my working sets.

At a guess, I'd say the volume training of 120kg for 15 and 12 reps during the deadlift competition last Thursday helped me out here. Never hurts to mix things up.

Taught my mother deadlifts last Thursday. Says to me today that for the first time in years she hasn't had back pain. Don't see how things can act that quickly, but I digress...the healing powers of deadlifts!

Argh! Back so sore from about 10 sets of squats yesterday. Felt it straight away on the warmup, but I persisted nonetheless. Form probably suffered for it...oh well!

So I have spaced out my warm up and working sets, keeping them 30kg apart. Swapped 110 for 120 and 140 for 150. Really gonna miss the 140s, but it was time to get some more weight into the working sets. Gonna stick with these weights for a little while; focus on getting the 150s up to around 7-8 reps and the 1RM up to 175. The 1RM calculators reckon I'll need 10 reps of 150kg before I pull a 200 single.

Cheers Dan! 160 is double me, but 200 will be 2.5 x me hence a major benchmark. 240 isn't even on the cards for me, but it would be incredible to be able to say you can deadlift 3 times your own bodyweight!!!

Are you doing any 1RM training?

Weirdest thing tonight: 90kg and 120kg felt heavier than they normally do...must be mental. Anyway, I got out a 175kg single, which I was happy about. Would be happy to repeat that next session, with an increase in the 150kg reps...maybe 6 or 7...before I go for a 180kg 1RM.

Kind of went against my word and pulled 180...fark it was a struggle, though. Back to the strongest I've been on this lift! Come at me 200!

Not much difference in this one. Only wanted a repeat of 180; would rather get that weight be consistent and in good form before stepping up again. Tried chalkless grip on 150...bloody killed my calluses and it started slipping on the 5th rep, so I stopped. Need to try and get 6 or 7 of them next time, maybe with chalk.

Well I was going to push out 6 of 150kg...I had

It in me...but I though f**k it, if I'm feeling this good I'll save the energy for my single and attempt 185kg. Hooray! 15kg off the dream. Mate doesn't reckon I was, but I'm worried whether I'm hitching or not, so I may have to film myself and check my form. I think I'm just paranoid, cause I can't as such feel the bar on my leg...it just seems to pause for a bit as I try to lock out the weight.

    • Input shaft bearing. They all do it. There is always rollover noise in Nissan boxes - particularly the big box. Don't worry about it unless it gets really growly.
    • 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.
