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

    • I have more than enough digging, laying blocks, moving gravel, airrating, feeding and top soiling the grass, and setting up the veggie gardens growing some seedlings,  and then removing all the unused rock to keep me busy for the next few months at least,  hopefully the rain stops soon so I can get a few hours in this arvo, but, before that Sunday is washing day, is every body happy, you bet your life we are Nice country road day drives are a day off whenever I'm muscle sore from all the landscaping at the moment, but, more epic multiple day drives will start once the majority of the big jobs outside are completed
    • I hear that would involve some nice country road drives into the hills for Mark...
    • I thought I'd come back and add something I JUST learned. A Toyota LandCruiser with a 1HZ, mates perfectly with a bottle of Nulon brake fluid. As in, it perfectly screws in. Great make shift funnel when you cut the bottom of it off. This may work for your Corolla.   Unfortunately, tipping a 10L drum is much harder than a 4 to 6L bottle, and they no longer include the easy pour tap which was just perfection to use previously.  
    • Guys since i bought r33 gts25t coupe 1994 automatic a/t(manual swap 350z gearbox)  all i got is problems, always problems. Lets start with that when i turn key into ignition(ON) fuel pump doesnt always works. Sometimes i have to turn key twice Off/on/off/on until it primes. Its new, dw300 - 340lph. My gearbox broke so i did gearbox swap, install different intake manifold, injectors and i take pipes. Car was sitting in garage for more than half a year. I did assembly all not that long ago and when i turn ignition cant hear prime. All of sudden it stopped working. Theres many videos on YouTube how to make relay mod on r33 straight from battery so i did and it doesnt work! 😰 30 - battery positive  87 - positive from fuel pump to relay 85, 86 - one of two wires from original fuel pump wires(light blue, grey) and it didn’t work. so I check on ignition and took original BLUE relays wires from trunk, next to fuses. (I believe it’s IGN+ and ECU pin 18. it didn’t work…  tried connecting (IGN+ from og relay) and (ECU 104 from 1of4 FPCM wires) to my new relay 85/86 and it didn’t work.  I unplug FPCM. Didn’t work. im thinking what’s wrong   fuel pump is working, if I leave IGN+ on 85 and 86 straight to ground it works but it’s just nonstop. Since it getting constant 12v after key in ON. light blue wire gives me 6-8v.  so how this should be connected? What causing ECU not giving — on pin? Or I did sth wrong and that’s why it doesn’t work? I need negative signal on ECU that control fuel pump. What this should be?
    • You can use your VIN to look up the factory part number somewhere like amayama, and then look to order new if necessary. https://www.amayama.com/en/genuine-catalogs/nissan Depending on price you might want to rebuild instead. @GTSBoy I had an interesting insight into US market parts when the Titan rear calipers were sticking. New calipers were dirt cheap, about 20% more than a rebuild kit....they are just considered throw away maintenance items
