Why not? Does the truth still offend people?

I think it's an assumption and judgemental. I don't know what was going on in his life 2 weeks ago except he was out drinking at a bar. I don't know about his sleeping or eating patterns to make a comment like that to him.

you don't need to know anything about his personal life to assume that putting 40kg onto a PB in 2 weeks is a large amount. If he never slept or ate for a week prior to the 260kg pull, it's still not his strength potential, is it?

A 40kg increase in two weeks is a large amount relative to what? I don't think there's a rule book on how much you should be increasing by each session. This guy is at the gym 6 nights (we go at the exact same time) and I see him deadlifting 3 to 4 times a week. If each session he increased his weight by 5kg there's your 40kg increase in two weeks.

I see no issue with a 40kg increase in 2 weeks on that movement. Maybe it is from your own mindset and experience. Fair enough .

Do you not think that in order to achieve such gains the guy has likely been challenging his limits regularly?

If you challege yourself more, do you think the gains will be smaller or larger?

Not sleeping or eating for a week is an excuse. If you don't lift 260kg then you haven't . If you did lift 260kg and you go on to say you didn't eat or sleep, well it's not going to add a gram to the weight you lifted. It's 260kg.

I jumped from 110-140kg deadlifts in 3 weeks. I think grip strength, and not using enough effort was what was mostly holding me back.

I wasn't able to get out a 150kg single this week disappointingly, but I did do a set of heavier dips and bent over rows beforehand (due to the gym only having 1 power cage / squat rack).

I never said I had an issue with him increasing 40kg in 2 weeks.

what I did say is that, 'in my opinion' he wasn't lifting to his potential on the 260kg.

A genuine 40kg increase in 'strength' at that weight level, in that time frame is massive.

Maybe he hadn't been pushing himself as hard before, maybe he hadn't been eating or sleeping enough or maybe his true 1rm is 360kg.

My statement, which was my opinion, just as yours is that you're ok with that, that he wasn't lifting to his potential prior still stands.

Yes different understandings of the situation .People have relative levels of understanding what hard work is (weight training wise) and what can result from it. It's normal to think about other factors as you mention when trying to figure it out.

What probably colours my view a bit is , in the past, I have added 40kg to a squat . Going from 180kg to 240kg in the same 2 week time frame many years ago. I worked very very hard to achieve this (hardest work in the gym I had ever done). Of course I had plenty of people say ' you are a freak' & ' you have genetics, it won't work for me....' . They were right only about the 'it won't work for me' bit because they don't wan't to train the same way. Different goals or maybe just in a comfort zone.

Markos has posted plenty of similar improvement statements

Also, my opinion on why I did best on all the forum challenges, is I think because my token efforts to train the different movements came with experience and the abillity to apply more intensity. Than the much younger and fitter dudes competing with me. Not becasue I think I have mega genetics and secret hidden potential (I appreciate you aren't saying that).

From my limited experience perhaps this can offer something to consider. That a great effort can be an equally powerful explanation for such fast gains. Again only my opinion offered as food for thought.

I'm not trying to figure it out, what you've just explained is my initial point.

Markos has posted plenty of similar improvements, which is my initial point.

Do you not agree that the training that lead yourself to gain so much was because of the effort and training? when you were doing that you were realising your potential?

Deadlifts haven't seen much progress since I last posted. Have just been maintaining with minor increases here and there while I focus on shoulder rehabilitation and pullups/bench. My form is better now, though; my back is less sore afterwards. Still getting a bit of hitching on the max weights :/

Done this yet boz?!?

for some reason I only got out a 170 again the other week, but I did get out a 200kg squat fairly easily. Training weight is about 140 5x3 on my deadlift day.

I like deadlift a lot more than I used to as well haha.

      Duncan's V37.......race car?

      By MBS206 · Posted

      Even more fun, leave all the ADAS stuff plugged in, but in different locations, hopefully avoid any codes!   And honestly, all these new cars with their weird electronics. Pull all the electronics out Duncan, and just shove an aftermarket ECU and if needed a trans controller in, along with a PDM. Make it run basic but race car styled!

      To follow up a question from earlier too since I had the front bar off again (fking!) This is what is between the bumper and the drivers side wheel And this is the navigator side, only one thing but its a biggy! So basically....no putting coolers in the wheel arches without a lot of moving other stuff. Assuming I move to properly race prepping this car I'll take that job on and see how the computers respond to removing a whole bunch of ADAS modules

      Duncan's V37.......race car?

      By Duncan · Posted

      So I prepped the car for another track day on Wednesday (will be interesting to see coolant temps post flushing out and the larger reservoir, with a forecast of 3-14 being 20o cooler than last time I took it out). Couple of things to mention; since I am just driving the car and not taking a support vehicle, I took the rear seats out and just loaded the back up Team Trackday style. Look at all that space! To cover off removing the rear seat....it is weird (note the hybrid is probably different because it wouldn't have folding rear seats) Basically, you remove the lower seat base, very similar to a r series but it is a clip that pulls forward to release the base rather than it being bolted down. Easy Then, you need to remove the side section of the rear seat on each side. There is a 14mm head nut at the bottom of the side piece, the it slides upwards off a hook at the top to release; you also need to unhook the seatbelt from the loop at the top. Then the centre piece is weird. You need to release/fold the seats forward with the tab in the boot on each side From there, there are 2,x12mm headed bolts holding the rear of each seat to the folding bracket, under the trim between the rear seat and the boot (4x christmas tree clips there, they suck). The seat is out but you can see where the bolts attach to the bracket

      As discussed in the previous post, the bushes in the 110 needed replacing. I took this opportunity to replace the castor bushes, the front lower control arm, lower the car and get the alignment dialled in with new tyres. I took it down to Alignment Motorsports on the GC to get this work done and also get more out of the Shockworks as I felt like I wasn't getting the full use out of them.  To cut a very long story short, it ended up being the case the passenger side castor arm wouldn't accept the brand new bush as the sleeve had worn badly enough to the point you could push the new bush in by hand and completely through. Trying a pair of TRD bushes didn't fix the issue either (I had originally gone with Hardrace bushes). We needed to urgently source another castor arm, and thankfully this was sourced and the guys at the shop worked on my car until 7pm on a Saturday to get everything done. The car rides a lot nicer now with the suspension dialled in properly. Lowered the car a little as well to suit the lower profile front tyres, and just bring the car down generally. Eternally thankful for the guys down at the shop to get the car sorted, we both pulled big favours from our contacts to get it done on the Saturday.  Also plugged in the new Stedi foglights into the S15, and even from a quick test in the garage I'm keen to see how they look out on the road. I had some concerns about the length of the LED body and whether it'd fit in the foglight housing but it's fine.  I've got a small window coming up next month where I'll likely get a little paint work done on the 110 to remove the rear wing, add a boot wing and roof wing, get the side skirt fixed up and colour match the little panel on the tail lights so that I can install some badges that I've kept in storage. I'm also tempted to put in a new pair of headlights on the 110.  Until then, here's some more pictures from Easter this year.

      I would put a fuel pressure gauge between the filter and the fuel rail, see if it's maintaining good fuel pressure at idle going up to the point when it stalls. Do you see any strange behavior in commanded fuel leading up to the point when it stalls? You might have to start going through the service manual and doing a long list of sensor tests if it's not the fuel system for whatever reason.
