Was an ugly rep, but I locked out 192.5kg for a new pb. Still 80kg, still 6'3 :P

Have another two reps left in the 160, so I might try adding them next time and see if I can make the 1RM again.

Steady improvement Birds, knocking on the door of 200kg

Training for GPC States my deadlift has been good. Hit a couple of PBs

regular DL 210kg x 5

deficit DL 220kg x 3

Should pull 260+ at States if I can keep my back in one piece

  • Like 1

A 260+ pull is awesome!

I tried block pulls off 6cm blocks the other day. I can deadlift more normally then from blocks but that doesn't surprise me really. I think ill keep doing them and see if they help overall

Thanks fellas. John you should definitely start 1RMing again; they do so much for volume weights and reps!

Awesome pulls there Nick. What weight class do you plan to be in for states?

I spoke too soon... hurt my back again! That said it's healing really quickly this time so I'll just have a couple of weeks off squatting/deadlifting and then should be back into it fingers crossed

hopefully I can make states... I'll do a little weight cut to get under 90kg birds... but if back still no good I'll do bench only in the 100s

going to switch to sumo so prob won't be pulling too heavy until I get technique/mobility down

Prolapsed disk between L5-S1. No MRI to confirm but pretty sure that's the diagnosis. It's settling really quick this time though so if it keeps improving I should be back to training soon. Was hoping to squat 250 at states so that might not happen but Nats is the goal this year.

I overhead pressed today without any pain. Not heavy though.

Same injury as last time then?

Who do you/PTC use for physiotherapy and diagnosing this kind of stuff? Feel free to PM; wouldn't mind knowing a physio who understands and deals with powerlifters and the related injuries, as these are the movements I engage in nowadays. I'm also sick of explaining to physios what a barbell squat is, only to have them explain back to me the function of the shoulders during the supposed overhead shoulder pressing motion that occurs during a squat...

Yep just a flare up.

Yes I used Jason Mawby Chiropractor last time. He is a Powerlifter but he's in Rosebud. I can't get down there so have been going to my old Osteo at the MOSIP clinic in Caulfield. Also very good, not lifters but definitely know what a squat is.

Have pulled back on 1RM training for the time being, to focus on getting my volume up. 165kg for 5 is a new pb in that department. Will try for 6 next time, or up the weight to 167.5kg.

Once volume comes up to, say...180kg for 5...I'll head back to 1RM and try passing 200kg.

185kg x 2

New 5 rep pb. Forgot to put some weights on one end when I first lifted it. Really fked me for the actual set, but still got it out. Made the 185kg reps really farkin tough, though.

Hoping to go 170kg for 5 next time.

    • It is a kunfine Android screen . Does anyone know the wirering diagram of the fuga ??
    • just an update to this, poor man pays twice  Tried sanding down the pulleys but it didnt do the trick. Chucked another second hand alternator in the na car which I got for free off my mate and its fixed the squelling. Must have been unlucky with the bearings.    As for my turbo car, I managed to pick up a cwc rb alternator conversion bracket + LS alternator for 250 off marketplace, looked to be in really good nick. Installed it , started the car and its not charging the battery.... ( Im not good with auto elec stuff so im not sure if this was all I needed to do but I verified such by using a multimeter on the battery when the engine was running and I was only getting 12.2v )   I had to modify the earth strap for the new LS alternator , factory earth strap was a 10mm bolt which did not fit the bolt on the LS alternator which was double the size so I cut it off , went to repco bought some ring terminals that fit, crimped it onto the old earth strap and bolted it up to the alternator , started the car and same issue. Ran like shit and was reading 12.2 at the battery.  For a "plug and play" advertised kit thats not very plug and play but alas.  My question is , am I missing something ? Ive been reading that some people recommend upgrading the stock 80 amp alternator fuse to a 140 amp but I dont see how that would stop the alternator charging especially at idle not under load.  Regardless ive pulled it out and am going to get it bench tested by an auto elec tomorrow but it would be handy to know if ive missed something silly or have done something wrong.   
    • My wild guess is that you have popped off an intake pipe....check all of the hoses between the turbo and the throttle for splits or loose clamps.
    • Awesome, thanks for sharing!
    • To provide more specific help, more information is needed. What Android screen? What is its wiring diagram? Does the car's wiring have power at any required BAT and ACC wires, and is the loom's earth good?
