well the 3 mores is something I learned from him FIGJAM, and something I put into practice now, so I'm ALWAYS doing one of them, every single session.

To consider... What are your increases going to be determined by?

1)What you think you can do?

or

2) What you think you 'have' to do?

or

3) What you think you 'cant' do?

What are people's answer to this one; 1,2 or 3?

Okay, I have no secrets.

Martin deadlifts today, he is on the 290kg program

Regular deadlifts - 145kg x 12 x 3 sets

Block pulls - worked up to 270kg x 3

Deficit deadlifts - worked up to 200kg x 12

Bent rows - worked up to 120kg x 8

DB rows - worked up to 60kg x 10

This was Week 1 of his program, designed to peak on November 17

Thats everything in full, thats what Martin is doing for deadlifts, ignore the weight, I have listed all the exercises, reps, sets (sort of)

Is there any more information you require........without a video lol

By the way, the majority of our PL team is doing this

for me it would be what I think I can do

1)If you think you can . You might

2)If you think you have to . You will

3)If you think you can't . You won't.

For consideration.

Eliminate 3 . Change 1 to 2.

You will probably find you are doing this to some degree without thinking about it.

Eg:If I was to set a goal of Deadlift 350kg

I've never done it. Maybe I think I can't do it now subconciously. Maybe I think I can 'eventually' lift it. I certainly don't think I have to.

Given this, if deadlifts were part of my regular training, I would definately not get there anytime real soon. Any progress attempts I will make will be restrained and comfortable and I will probably enjoy the program, while taking forever to go nowhere near 350kg.

Zoran on the 305kg program, peaking for September 8th

Deadlifts - 290kg x 1 x 3 sets

Block pulls - 220 x 3, 240 x 3, 260 x 3, 280 x 1, 300 x 1

Deficit pulls - 240 x 5, 210 x 8

Thats the whole workout

sounds a bit like the stuff rev is doing, I find that interesting because it is such low reps. Obviously for the very advanced lifters.

I did SLDL 85 x 15 3 times tonight, I've noticed two things. I'm getting better at it, and my grip is not the point of failure any more.

Going to give regular deadlift a go next time to see how it's improved.

I've also decided I want to concentrate on weight loss for now, so I'll keep on with the linear progression as far as I can.

This is pretty much the reason why people quit gym before seeing success, as those who have been going long enough to get reward from it, know they have to keep it up, else lose those rewards. For those who haven't seen success, it starts off as a "think I can" and can all too quickly fall into a "I can't" if there is no reinforcement (I've always maintained that if you could give someone results straight away, they would never quit...hence I stress focus on strength goals to distract from the slow onset of physical changes).

Yet even for those who have seen success, it's easy to fall into the trap of believing in your limitations, and so your accountability towards your goals takes a dive.

Same goes for coaching; there's more accountability in it when you are lifting not just for yourself, but to meet the expectations of another. This is why I've seen more improvement than ever, since documenting my lifting on here: I have to lift the weight or people see that I'm all talk hahaha

As for people who do incredible things, they are usually the ones who won't stop until they are satisfied, and for them, satisfaction is a dangling carrot that will never be caught, but must forever be chased after. You may never catch it, but you will end up miles away from mediocre.

Wherever after a warmup, middle is fine...or can stick it at the end like I do. Doesn't have to be huge, just 10kg above your current max weight, so maybe one rep of 150kg. You'll clear it easy. Then try for 155kg or 160kg the week after.

Shit will make your 140kg seem light as and once you're doing a 160kg single, you will be able to get about 7 of 140kg out.

    • One thing I can tell you is, do it properly the first time. If you encounter unexpected problems just let the car sit for a week or two if you have to get some other parts or figure stuff out.  I'd have said go and use as many OEM parts as possible but since you want to change the turbo later on a custom kit is probably the better choice. Since I have no experience with RB25 just compare parts diagrams and images before buying a line kit and it should be easy to see if it has everything you need. Amayama has very good parts diagrams and part number lists, that is what I used a bunch to figure out what I might need. And don't forget to plan ahead and possibly renew other stuff that's easy to get to while you're in there doing the turbo lines. Happy wrenching
    • Update 4:   Hi all, good news. Engine is running and all the gaskets and seals seem to be working as intended. No leaks so far, even the JB Weld seems to hold. I flushed out the old coolant a few times and put in fresh coolant, not Nissan stuff, I decided to try the Ravenol Protect FL22, they claim it works for a wide variety of JDM cars and the opinions on it by some people were pretty good. And it has the nice poison green color! And man am I glad I bought a coolant system tester earlier this year, vacuum filling works wonders on this engine. I can definitely recommend this to anyone still doing it the old school way. All you need is compressed air supply. Will have to do a small test drive as soon as I can, I removed the gauge cluster again as the tacho needle was still bouncing around a bit but it was much better than before already.  I also found some cracks on all 4 tires inner and outer sidewalls. Apparently these tires should 't be parked on for extended periods or be kept under 0 degrees during storage, which I did not know. Clearly the previous owner didn't look into those details either, he probably bought them just cause they are cool semi-slicks. I'm just wondering how tf I am supposed to reach 30-80 degree tire temperatures on the public road consistenly, these tires were never going to work for my use case. I'll probably order Continental SportContact7 ones as these are the best allround summer tire available right now and I don't think I'll need anything crazier for now. Do let me know if you have experience with various tires and which ones you recommend.
    • You have no idea how many goddamn boxes I received these past three months haha Most have been put to use by now though, luckily
    • Not going to pretend I didn't do a bit of junky work this time around, but mostly due to the fact that some things I am not willing to spend days fixing right now, like wiring. I try to do most things properly the first time around.
    • Regardless of neglect or incompetence, fixing either is tedious and annoying. Most of the neglect on my car is definitely rust. I hope I can at least pass inspections later on and they won't fail the car due to slightly corroded hardlines. I was generous with rust converter and wax and it looks ok, most lines in the rear are hard to see properly anyways.  Definitely will test them though to make sure they don't rupture under pressure, in that case the car isn't going anywhere this year.
