Have you tried stretching or using a really light weight at the end of your sets to try and push lower? I've always had good hip flexibility despite my long legs. My hamstrings are pretty poor though.

Next session go

bar x 10

40 x 8

60 x 5

80 x 3

100 x 1

then go 115 and 120

stop doing a million reps before your 1rms

Why you gotta hate on my gazillion reps? I love the volume stuff.

I know that's the best thing to do to increase 1RM, i.e. cut down on my volume...so I'll probably turn to it when I start plateauing bad with the current setup. But for now I enjoy sticking the 1RM after a heap of working sets. Because Birds

Yeah I gave up reading after the first two comments. The chosen answer supposedly a trainer for an international weightlifting association? Err...

There's misinformation and then there's MISSINGinformation!

do your volume after you go heavy, not before... just do enough to warm up, hit a pb, then do a heap of volume work

^^ This.

You're not going to find your 1rm doing it your way.

You're only going to find your exhausted 1rm.

Do it like I said, then once you fail a 1rm, have a 5 minute rest, then load up your volume sets and go for broke back mountain

60kg x 10

75kg x 10

90kg x 8

100kg x 3

110kg x 1

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.

60kg x 10

75kg x 10

90kg x 8

100kg x 3 (died half way up on 4th rep)

115kg x 0 (died half way up)

Didn't make the 115 tonight; back just didn't want to work with me after the fail on the 100s. Next time maybe!

Was sick with a cold this week, debating whether to come. No one ever got anywhere by being home with a cold, so here I am.

Feel like I'm leaning forward too far on the heavier weights and the motion is turning into a bit of a good morning, as my back is giving way before my legs are. Seems to be consequential of trying to squat all the way to my ankles in oly stance; need to sit back on my heels more and keep the hips from coming up before my back. Hoping to post better results next sesh.

    • Haha, i kow right? Could have bought so many cars for the same amount of money (or less) but driving Unicorn gives you at least +1mln to style 😅. Like wise man said "life's to short to drink cheap wine and drive boring cars" 😉
    • Newbie here, proud owner of an Autech 260RS. I'm on the hunt for wiring diagrams specific to the 260RS, particularly S1. I've ran my eyes through R33, R34 Diagrams, there are some similarities, however continue to find incorrect wire colours and pins on connectors in the 33,34 diagrams.   I was hoping someone could point me in the right direction? I'd be happy to pay for the originals in Japanese. I can translate them, at least they would be accurate.   Any help please would be greatly appreciated, never heard an RB26DETT before let alone driven one, and I've got a spaghetti monster of goodness to sort out.   Cheers Benny  
    • Hey all  im wondering if you can help me please I have put a rb20 box in my r34 gtt as my auto packed up and a friend had a spare box I know it’s not ideal but it will get me up and running for now. we have done the conversation and everything is working great but my Speedo we got a s13 speed sensor but my Speedo reads double now and I bought a speed converter but still not having any luck.  so I thought I’ll reach out and pick your brains  any help would be appreciated please as I wanna drive my car again 
    • Drain it. I got official Matic D but you can get whatever is listed as Matic D compatible.
    • Thanks guys,  Yeah I should at least have them dynoed, at least then I know what I've got as a starting point.  The springs on these are hard as rocks. I vaguely remember Russman saying he was going to sell the shocks to me with the rocks fitted, as he was keeping the softer springs for his new setup.  I didn't click at the time but of course that was to let me know the shock/spring wouldn't be matched.  I also remember pricing up new springs around 2014-15, but, house, money etc. it never happened. So that was another reason to have them rebuilt. I have rebuilt the forks on many motorcycles so I think I could handle the seals on these easily enough, but getting the valving right would be a rabbit hole I cbf exploring.  Duncan, interesting to hear RP was tuning these back then. I might give them a call.  In the mean time I have been busy fitting sway bars. The Whiteline rear sway bar I purchased 15 years ago finally got fitted, along with the Whiteline front bar that showed up last week. Just waiting on new links for the front sway bar to finish that off.  And my spare set of advan AVS VS5's should be back from the powder coaters in a Pearl White finish sometime this week, with a set of Hankook RS4's lined up for fitting.  And then I just have all the suspension bushes to do. A comprehensive kit is on the way... Lots to do before the Ararat hill climb. Cheers guys 🍻
