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?

    • This. A 3d wheel alignment is like $120...just take it to the shop. Since theres probably multiple adjustments that need to be made after changing something. Mine has front/rear lower arms, traction rods, tension rods, camber arms, toe arms, front upper arms, hicas kit, sway bars and coilovers. I measure from the edge of the bolt holes on the originals and set the same length on all the adjustable stuff to dial it as close as I could to OEM. Took it straight for alignment; it didnt feel right at all...after alignment, it feels perfect. Similarly i've just changed the springs on another car; and I still needed multiple adjustments to bring it back in spec.
    • A full Veilside kitted JZA80 Supra in Meriken park in Kobe city a few weeks back
    • Its a well known brand in New Zealand; its a rebrand of the Rhino RAV3.  I don't know what the wiring difference *is* between the rev.1 (installed about 15 years ago) and rev.2; but as you say I would think its reasonable that it uses the same immobiliser relay circuits. I had a look but couldnt see a similar harness; but didnt move things around since I didnt want to mess with it   It was one of AVS well known Authorised Installers; I spoke to AVS themselves about it but theyre unsure hence seeking advice more so from the skyline community who are more familiar with the actual car and its wiring. Im in Auckland; but the installer is on the other side of the city so hes very reluctant to come back to even look at it to confirm something isnt connected into the wrong wire.  I dont want to drop the name since they *did* do a really good job for the most part. Everything is very tidy and he fully replaced all the alarm wiring, all the sensors, the wiring to the door motors, installed a switch which was never installed in the first place...really happy with the alarm install itself..just not this one issue. We all make mistakes, if it is the alarm, I just want my fuel pump getting proper switched, fused, power as it was; without having to shell out for an auto electrician to switch a wire and tell me it was the alarm. 
    • Even with the piston at TDC there was room for it to drop, but I don't think it can drop fully into the cylinder, the problem you have is that you need something pushing against the valve to hold it up so you have enough room to put the new stem seal on and the spring etc.  I used compressed air only because putting rope in the cylinder seemed a bit risky to me, I know people have done it countless times before like this. Overall it's a pain in the ass job. Honestly you'd probably be better off taking the head off because the risk of dropping something in the engine and the finicky-ness of it all is very stressful. If you are going to attempt it though i 10000% recommend a 36050 valve spring/keeper tool. I had both the traditional lever type and after doing 1 cylinder it was absolute pain to get those valve keepers in place, even with 2 people. That 36050 is amazing, you do have to push hard to get them in place but it works perfectly almost every time. Back to my actual issue I think my engine is just tired and old and the rings have gone bad. The comp numbers (cold, no oil) were: Cyl 1 -129psi Cyl 2 - 133psi Cyl 3 - 138psi Cyl 4 - 137psi Cyl 5 - 157psi Cyl 6 - 142psi   Cylinder 5 and 6 having the most carbon on them.
    • Who did you have do the installation? I actually know someone who is VERY familiar with the AVS gear. The main point of contact though would be your installer.   Where are you based in NZ?
