Whole team is done with 8's, so funny watching their expression, pure relief. Actually Max, Dan and Zoran do them Saturday, they have 180kg x 8 for 3 sets, no wraps

Jack did 195 x 8 x 3, Emad 170 x 8 x 3 and Spiros 160 x 8 x 3, last night.

Everyone starts wrapping from the first week of 5's next week. I know Max, Dan and Zoran have got 205 x 5 x 3 sets next week, then 220 x 5 x 3 sets the following week. They are on the 275kg squat plan.

Whats your first week of 5's Nick? Youre on the 220kg plan arent you? Must be 165 x 5 next week?

I don't find the initial 3 sets so bad... it's the pause squats and high rep safety bar squats afterwards that kill me... just not used to that amount of volume... it hurts my vagina

180 x 8... fck that!

Zoran and Max look so comfortable squatting... all my reps are ugly grinds lol

yeah on the 220kg plan... but I want 230kg at nationals...

60kg x 10

70kg x 10

80kg x 10

90kg x 6

95kg x 3

Might add a 6th/1RM set to this so I can start using it to leverage my sets of reps and up their weight. 100 should be fairly doable for a start.

60kg x 10

70kg x 10

80kg x 10

90kg x 5

100kg x 2

The 100 was supposed to be a 1RM, but it felt easy on the way up, so I did another :D

80kg x 10 means a fair bit more than 100kg for 1rm

Yeah but by the time I get to the 100, it doesn't lol

Prolly could have done 105 or 110 for the 1RM at the end. Though it's almost time to space out the working sets. Maybe shift the 70 to 75 and 80 to 90; 90 to 95 and 1RM to 105.

As long as the weight goes up everywhere :)

if you are actually going to try and go for a single, then go

bar x 10

60 x 5

80 x 3

100 x 1

then either 105 or 110 depending on how you felt.

then keep going up by 5 or 10 depending on how you felt etc etc.

obviously do it in a rack with safety bars or spotters.

Whatever you fail on you'd be able to do the next week with less singles before it.

105kg x 1 (died on second rep; thank you safety bars)

I think the leg press is helping a fair bit with squat strength, along with progressively stepping up the weight on squats. I'm tryIng my best not to lose form as I step up the weight...it is still very ATG...however...I do "good morning" the weight up when I am struggling in the hole sometimes. Is this a bad thing? Indicative that I should be further back on my heels?

    • Yeah i found that alot of parts can be wrong or "very" hard to get the real right one. I already bought some brakes years ago on me "old" GT calipers and they were wrong too 😄  I told them too. Even send them pictures...but they said "EBC catalogue has them on my car... So i dont know what their answer will be. I call monday them and let them know that they are really not on my car. If they were they would be already on a car...
    • Welcome to Skyline ownership. Yes, it is entirely possible parts websites get things wrong. There's a whole world of inaccuracies out there when it comes to R34 stuff (and probably 33 and 32). Lots of things that are 'just bolt on, entirely interchangable' aren't. Even between S1 and S2 R34's. Yes they have a GTT item supposedly being 296mm. This is incorrect. I would call whoever you got them from and return them and let them know the GTT actually uses 310mm rotors. Depending on where you got them from your experience and success will obviously vary.
    • Hi...a bit a "development" on the brakes. I spoke to the guys where i get brakes from...and they are saying that 296mm EBC are for R34 GT-T. I then went to their site: https://www.ebcbrakes.com/vehicle/uk-row/NISSAN/Skyline (R34)/ and search for my car(R34 GT 1998 - it has GTT brakes) and it show me this USR1229 number and they are rly 296mm rotors... So now iam rly confused... The rotors i have now on the car are 310mm asi shown... So where is the problem? Does the whole EBC got it wrong or my calipers are just...idk know what?  
    • Oh What the hell, I used to get a "are you sure you want to reply, this thread is XX months old" message. Maybe a software update remove that. My bad.
    • This is a recipe for disaster* Note: Disaster is relative. The thing that often gets lost in threads like this is what is considered acceptable poke and compromise between what one person considers 'good' looks and what someone else does. The quoted specs would sit absurdly outside the guards with the spacers mentioned and need  REALLY thin tyres and a LOT of camber AND rolling the guards to fit. Some people love this. Some people consider this a ruined car. One thing is for certain though, rolling the guards is pretty much mandatory for any 'good' fitment (of either variety). It is often the difference between any fitment remotely close to the guards. "Not to mention the rears were like a mm from hitting the coilovers." I have a question though - This spec is VERY close to what I was planning to buy relative to the inboard suspension - I have an offset measuring tool on the way to confirm it. When you say "like a mm" do you mean literally 1mm? Or 2mm? Cause that's enough clearance for me in the rear :p I actually found the more limiting factor ISNT the coilover but the actual suspension arms. Did you take a look at how close those were?
