I know that comment isn't directed at me, but I figured I'd post in here anyway.

All my lifts have gone backwards recently since I had uni exams and then I have had some weird stomach virus for about 2 weeks. It's amazing how quickly you go backwards when you can't eat properly and lift as you normally would.

Only a month ago I managed a 170kg 1rm and first session back into deads the other day and I could only go 125kg x 8 for 4 sets. My 1rm would lucky to be above 150kg now I think.

havent tried a 1RM but I think I could get 120kg out once with average form, maybe a bit more.

Give it a shot dude, stick it at the end of your volume sets if you like...1RM training is great for boosting the weight of your working sets. Everytime I go up 5kg on the 1RM, I can push out another rep in one of my working sets next session. You'll be at 150kg 1RM in no time,

Form is always going to suffer when lifting max weight...don't stress too much about it not being perfect. If you can break through the weight barrier, your back will be stronger and you will eventually have perfect form on 120kg once you've far surpassed it.

Know that feel bro...but you'll be amazed at how quickly you can get back to it, too. I took 3 months off deadlifting...it only took me 4 sessions to get back to what I was doing before I stopped. Hang in there!

I'm the same, no idea what my 1RM is, but assume it would be 120 maybe? I think if I only had to do it once, and not after 20 previous reps I could do 10-20kg more?

My current DLs look like this, these are 5x5s, breaks in seconds are 60, 75, 90, 120.

Socks only, narrow stance.

88, 93, 101.5, 104, 109

So I know the feel of being a low weight lifter FigJam :)

I actually think it's this giving me a big butt I feel a lot of contraction in my glutes during this exercise.

Well most people perform a 1RM much earlier than I do. I tend to stick mine after the volume training, much to Markos' dismay.

The usual practice is a light warm up at high reps, followed by decreasingly low reps as you make your way closer to the 1RM weight. Last couple of sets will be singles themselves, so you've prepared yourself for the heavy weight but haven't used up all your energy.

Mine is the masochist way :P

90kg x 10

120kg x 10

150kg x 5

185kg x 1

90kg x 10

120kg x 10

150kg x 5

185kg x 1

No difference in numbers tonight, just a repeat of last time for the sake of backing it up and keeping form in check. Felt a bit ordinary/tired today, so wasn't in the mood for stepping up. See how I feel on Tuesday.

Nicely done.

How often is everyone training deads here? Is there such thing as too often?

I'm doing them 3 times a week, 5x5s so 25 reps per session.

I pull up fine but I only do light weight.

I'm only training twice a week and 3 sets + 1RM. Have stepped up 1RM nearly 15kg in 3 weeks.

I wouldn't say you can train it too often, but if you're not stepping up the weight often enough, then in Markos' words you're wasting your time doing the same workout three times a week.

Fair enough.

I like to consolidate the weight before advancing, so I know I can do it even on a bad day, also gives time for the secondary muscles to catch up, but that's just old cautious Dan talking.

If your are doing them 3 times a week u aren't training hard enough, it should take almost a week to recover from the last set, also you need rest and time to train other body parts like Lats and legs that will help with the dead lift

    • So could it be assumed it has been installed intentionally with potentially a power FC boost controller kit? 
    • Had my rig on Matt's dyno at PITS the other day. After a few years between tunes I added a few sensors and swapped intercoolers. Result. 553hp at 26psi. Not bad for an FJ20 that was built in 2007. The problem.. It filled the overflow bottle on hard runs which leads me to believe the head gasket isn't sealing. I have a coolant pressure sensor which was reading cap pressure at 22psi and occasionally overrunning to 23/24 psi on deceleration after a pull. It was not spiking. It has arp2000 head studs and a cometic gasket. As its been 18 years in service, I pulled the engine out and head off. Everything looks good but we obviously have an issue. Where I'm at.. Years ago I had the same issue, I checked the stud tension and they were all over the place. Some at 60 to 70 and some up near 90. I nipped them all to 100ft lbs and this stopped the water push until now. I believe this compromised the gasket back then. What do I do? 2 options are..  1) I bought arp 625+s, which I could put in with a new gasket. Thinking Kameari this time, reassemble and try again. 2) strip the block, get fire rings machined in with copper gasket and try that. I do not want to push it more than 28 to 30psi. I think the turbo will be out by then anyway. (G30-770). My other concern is the long term ability of a copper head gasket. Are they streetable for years? I feel like a new gasket with the new studs will probably suffice, but I don't know. Any thoughts welcome and advice on copper gaskets and fire rings. Thanks!
    • I'm a fan of the JZX110, and the Aristo. Big cruiser cars, and with the factory cars, super comfortable and feel like you're driving an armchair! And the JZ motors are a pretty nice engine too, especially with some basic mods.   The import process, and the need to be able to trust people, and the fact there's so many scammers around is what ever puts me off wanting to go through that ordeal!
    • I don't care for these at all, but at least the underside looks straight and not rusty. A good basis for a long life. Many cars from Japan have been lifted with forklifts and f**ked almost irrepairably.
    • Yes, but it's not dumb or dodgy. You can build a perfectly good boost controller from a pressure reg, a relief valve (looks same same as a reg if all from Norgren or SMC, for example) and a check valve. I ran one for years. Only superceded with  EBC because I could get one for cheaps and wanted finer control.   THis mod is certainly not a sketchy boost mod, provided the boost is kept below the "spin to death" threshold of the turbos.
