been getting back into the gym and by far my favourite exercise is deadlifts

Last workout yielded:

6 x 100kg

6x 100kg

6 x 105kg

6 x 105kg

body weight is 105, so im happy after 2 months back at the gym that ive gone from nothing to being able to lift my own weight

one quick question, is there any advantage at all to putting a 1RM set in there, or is it just so you know how much you can actually lift?

depends on your purpose or goal for training. You don't necessarily need to do 1RM at all, as part of training.

Working in a lower volume range is arguably better for this kind of lift.

by lower volume i assume you mean sets with lower rep counts?

so id be better for aiming for say sets of 4-6?

Have a look at my posts in this thread from start to finish (it's not that long)...you'll see a gradual pattern of stepping up weight, both in volume and single rep training. You don't have to do as many reps as I do, as the exercise does favour low reps and I love my volume, but you'll see that what makes a difference over time is stepping up the weight as often as you can. Singles are good for this, because you're adding a minuscule amount of weight to them every session, so you barely notice the difference, but over time it adds up.

Obviously look after your technique first and foremost, but don't be afraid to put that weight up. As Markos says, people major in the minor shit too much. Rep ranges have their place, but your focus should be on trying to get the weight up. If you can't do that, then do more sets and reps.

yeah i make sure that im not on the same weight for more than 3 sessions, and i havent hit any kind of plateau yet.

generally i aim for a min of 6 and a max of 10, when i get to 10 i bump the weight up, thinking i might back that down to 4 and 8

been helping train a mate with deads and a few other things (too slack to bother lifting myself, just doing token demos). 3 weeks 3 training sessions. His weight 78kg. Height 6ft 2 . 40 years old, Skinny -fat dude. No weight training experience. Nothing special.

Starting deadlift weight 60kg . Did 140kg tonight.

That's good! He skinny! well done to him :)

When I was talking to this dude at my gym 2 weeks ago he was dead lifting 260kg and did 300kg tonight, pretty impressive jump IMO

    • We have a huge update coming in the next few months, version 5 of Invision will be released. I'm holding off any changes until after this change as I'm not sure what features will be removed or introduced.
    • Yeah, plenty of air flow, there is a dedicated path that feeds the air in to the OEM intake tube behind the bumper As for a "tangible effect", maybe, but getting the pod/intake air out of the hot engine bay is worth it psychologically to me, even if it gives no performance difference, so the tangible effect in my Lizard brain saysss yessss  In the end, to me a tangible effect isn't always about performance, sometimes it a sound or a look, or even a...... feeling  Ooga-Chaka Ooga-Ooga Ooga-Chaka Ooga-Ooga Ooga-Chaka Ooga-Ooga Ooga-Chaka Ooga-Ooga
    • yeah first and reverse is where you will find clutch release issues (whether hydraulic or mechanical) because the difference in revs required is the highest there; particularly changing down from 2nd to 1st when still moving. To be clearer though, it is possible that the clutch release bearing is the wrong height. This is less likely than a hydraulic issue but it is not unheard of when you are mixing and matching
    • Quite right, if you make it to that pension you deserve every cent
    • Hi all, Restoring r33 series 1 rb25det. All the heater hoses were on their way out, have replaced them and put it all back together. After testing I noticed a small leak from behind the head on the actual metal water line to the turbo when cars warm. I tried running a longer hose over it but it kept leaking...   I am about to take the (stock) manifold off again😔 to change the water line does any one have any lines they recommend? I was looking at Aeroflow Turbo Oil & Water Line Set but not sure what everyone else recommends. Car is completely stock but want to upgrade turbo eventually. it looks like ill have to disconnect a lot just to replace these lines so if there's anything else recommended to do please let me know. Thank you in advance!
