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.

    • I appreciate the detailed explanation, think I understand now. I spent the better part of last night reading what I could about shuffle and potential solutions. I had replaced the OEM twin turbo pipe with an alternate Y pipe that is separated further away from the turbo. The current one is from HKS and I had a previous pipe that was separated even further away, both have shuffle. I had heard that a divider can be welded in to the OEM pipe to remove turbulence, and figure that aftermarket pipes that are more separated would achieve the same thing. From what I read, most people with -10 turbos get shuffle due to their size, though it's a bit less common with -5s on a standard RB26. I think Nismoid mentioned somewhere it's because OEM recirculation piping is common in Australia with -5 cars. It seems that the recommendation tends to vary between a few options, which I've ordered in what I think is most feasible for me:  1. Retune the MAP or boost controller to try to eliminate shuffle 2. Install OEM recirculation piping 3. Something called a 'balance pipe' welded onto the exhaust manifolds. I don't know if kits for this are available, seems like pure fabrication work 4. simply go single turbo My current layout is as follows: Garrett 2860 -5s HKS Racing Suction intake MAF delete pipes HKS racing chamber intake piping hard intercooler piping,  ARC intercooler HKS SSQV BOV and pipe Haltech 2500 elite ECU and boost solenoid/controller HPI dump pipes OEM exhaust manifolds HKS VCAM step 1 and supporting head modifications Built 2.6 bottom end All OEM recirculation piping was removed, relevant areas sealed off I'll keep an eye out for any alternative solutions but can get started with this.  Only other question is, does shuffle harm the turbo (or anything else)? It seems like some people say your turbo shafts will explode because of the opposing forces after a while and others say they just live with it and adjust their pedal foot accordingly. 
    • That worked out PERFECTLY! Thank you big time to JJ. He was able to swap me his stock diff. He drove all the way to me as well. Killer! Removal & install was pretty straightforward. The diff itself is HEAVY. So that’s a 2 man job.  Man does the car drive nice now! Couldn’t have worked out any better 👌
    • I'm interested,do you still have it?
