60kg x 10

75kg x 10

90kg x 8

100kg x 3

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

On Monday

60kg x 10

75kg x 10

90kg x 7

100kg x 2

105kg x 1

Was down a rep on a couple sets, which sucked a bit. I put it down to a stomach/gastric ulcer making me sick in the days leading up, a lack of sleep (TTT aware) and a week since I last squatted. Hoping to push through these (and last week's) numbers on Friday for more squat progress. Maybe try for a 110.

Also taught Leesh how to squat with a barbell in a squat rack and take a "fall" using the safety bars. She had really good form; was ass-to-grounding 40kg for reps on her first (and hopefully not last) day of doing squats. Also taught her deadlifting from scratch, which was also very good form and we made it to 50kg for reps before her form started slacking off. Might have to start a build diary for your compound movements, Leesh :)

you can do a build diary for me, since you have more spare time than I do

60kg x 10

75kg x 10

90kg x 9

100kg x 2 (failed on 3rd rep)

105kg x 1 (failed on 2nd rep)

So I didn't get to try my 110 1RM, but I did hit 9 reps on 90kg which is the most I've done on that and a definite step in the right direction, up from 7. Just a shame it taxed me for the 100, as I was hoping for 3-4 reps there. Will give 110kg a go on Monday!

Might well do mate...my squats are certainly my weakest exercise and they're all I can do while my shoulder is out. I miss deadlifts more than anything.

Squat 1RM would be a fair bit higher if I didn't burn myself out on the warm ups and working sets...but I do love my high reps :)

Also love how much this exercise helps me in basketball...my vertical leap is a bit higher than my team mates who have been playing the sport for years (it's my first year). I'm also the only one who can go a full game without subbing off.

no way! you'd have to be doing cardio for that to happen!!! right? and those muscles you're making surely slows you down....

Haha :)

Well I do a bit of HIIT cardio, which I'm sure helps with my heart and lungs, but yes, everyone can benefit from the explosive strength building of squats! Particularly sports with fast short sprints. I'm always first to the defensive key when the ball changes hands.

I think the muscle slowing you down argument is completely lost in professional sports where athletes are regularly over 100kg lean! I can only think of a few where the extra muscle wouldn't be of benefit or might hinder performance.

Got a bit worried on the 90, being down a rep from Friday. Felt good about the 100 x 3 though, so I shot for 110kg and there it is. Will try and get 2 of them next time or shoot for 115.

Was working in with a gym mate...I use the term loosely...this guy is such a bullshit artist. Nightclub promoter (nuff said) and always talking himself up in every conversation.

Him: what weight is that?

Me: 110kg, do you think I can do it?

Him: yeah easy, I've done 120kg before. Actually 130kg!

Me: what, ass to ground?

Him: yeah ass to the floor man!

So I do my 110kg 1RM ass to ground. I then say leave you to it mate. I head over to leg press and look back, then see the guy struggling with 80kg shallow as f**k half squats...he got out maybe 4 reps. I lol'd. Should have demanded he do the 130kg and watched him injure himself.

the story of commercial gyms everywhere... I can't hate too badly, I used to do half squats lol

3 sets of 190kg x 3 yesterday... wasn't feeling it, they were slow grinds... hips and low back very stiff, getting good depth was difficult and painful.... pretty beaten up at the moment... but I haven't missed a rep this training cycle and I don't plan on it anytime soon

200kg x 3 next week... need to eat better and get more sleep... better bring my strong

To clarify, I have nothing against half squats (though I do nazi my friends into doing ATG)! I used to do to parallel myself and have nearly caught up to my old parallel squat weight/reps. I just can't stand some fool saying he can ATG a certain weight, when I doubt he could even half squat it...and we all know depth makes a huge difference to how much you can squat!

First time I did an ATG, I was doing less than half my parallel weight and it was killing me haha

    • The 296mm rotors are the R33 turbo brakes. The 310mm rotors are the R34 turbo brakes. The calipers are nearly the same, but not. They're the same caliper but the R34 caliper has longer legs so that it sits out far enough to go over the rotor. The pads are the same for both. When you say, "I bough tsome EBC"....did you just mean pads? Or rotors? 310mm rotors fit under 17" wheels. There may be some wheels without enough clearance though. I can't fit my fingers between the barrel of my wheel and the "corners" of my R34 calipers, but there is plenty of room behind the spokes. This is on Enkei RPF1. You can fit 324mm rotors inside a 17" wheel, but I'd be willing to bet that it would be close to impossible with the Nissan/Sumitomo caliper (using an adapter, of course), because the Sumitomo caliper is fatter than the Brembo caliper that is supposed to go on the 324mm rotors.
    • Hi. Can someone tell me what brakes(and mainly WHERE) can i buy brakes on R34 GTT? I bought some EBC which SHOULD go on my car(i have GT but it has GTT brakes) but it does not fit, Brakes are "too" small(296mm) Are 310mm be good or? I have 17 inch wheel so no "big boys" but for me driving i just need one that fits and i can get here in EU/Czech.
    • Since winter isn't that harsh anymore in Poland, i will definetely drive it 365 days a year 😉. But if the snow hits i will try it for sure and let U know. Only swap i am planning to do is of course R34 GTR front 😍.
    • Hey. Very valuable information about pitwork, I will pay attention when buying any consumable parts 🙏 As for the carpets - I got a handful of information from nengun, from which it appears that indeed the carpets for the driver's side are OEM. They are not able to show me any pictures due to the long chain of different sales entities but after I place the order, as soon as the goods arrive at the nengun warehouse from which they will send the shipment to me they can send me photos and if my purchase differs from OEM I can immediately return it / cancel the purchase. I think I will give it a try 😉. Of course i'll let you know what's what as soon as i get them P.s. I know the topic is not relevant to the thread, but both nengun and amayama have these SICK 😍 trunk room lamps available. Do you know anyone who ordered them? I need to have one in my car
