That's no true; by your standards of a squat I was doing 10 of them before I switched to ATG...big difference. I squat to get bigger legs and ATGs in heavy volume have been doing that for me; it's been great. I also made the 110 a few weeks back.

Birds, you make out that your the only lifter that squats deep, do you honestly believe that?

Now in regards to squatting to get bigger legs............singles most sessions, really?

Anyway, its very clear your happy with your training and weights, and that should be every lifters goal, so power to you mate, keep going.

No I don't believe that. Plenty squat as deep as me and with loads more weight. I'm still a squat beginner as far as I'm concerned. I just don't think parallel and ATG weights should be compared with each other (outside of competition), when range of motion makes a huge difference to the weight you can squat. Considering that my legs are significantly bigger now (still not huge) than when I was squatting parallel with much more weight, there has to be truth to that.

I will come down for a visit with Charlie soon, only because I'm open minded enough to see and try things from a different perspective. But I can't promise that I'm going to swap out my ways for what you present me. You have to understand that I don't reject your methods or project my own onto anyone who doesn't ask me for them...I just like stepping outside the norm and trying my own things. If no one ever did that, we would never find alternatives; we would never advance beyond the norm. I don't mind being a guinea pig for that, even if it's at the sacrifice of my own conquests (though I don't believe it to be).

so halfway up means up past parallel right?

How will squatting to below parallel but not till your calves touch hamstrings allow you to lift more?

you're not failing at the bottom.. you are failing half way up which would be back up past parallel.

or are you assuming that a legal depth PL squat is a 1/4 squat?

Look at how knees and muscles work...the lower you go to the ground, the more resistance you have to put up with and it's non-linear. It also alters the dynamic of back position. There's a reason you could do more pullups if you didn't have to clear the bar with your chin each time.

Half way up = expression. Read into the semantics however you want, Trollga, it doesn't mean a literal 50% of the ROM. I don't think I got past parallel.

lol @ feminine way. Muscle doesn't grow feminine or masculine, it just grows...with food and training. It does happen overnight though, so tell her to be careful and check the mirror regularly in case of sudden muscle growth into masculinity. Those IFBB bodybuilders have to be real careful they don't accidentally get too big when they are putting on muscle too.

Tell her to squat before leg press, for starters. And start upping that weight...20kg is a newbie warmup. My 55 year old mother squatted 20kg for 10 reps last week...first squat she's ever done in her life.

If you always do what you've always done then you'll always get what you've always got.

Shit, I'm starting to sound like Markos :/

- condescending but true advice...check

- use example of relative or client...check

- old expression/adage...check

    • I would just put EBC back on the "I would not use their stuff" pile and move on.
    • Can I suggest you try EBC directly again and link them to as many competitor catalogues as you can to show their listing is incorrect, eg https://dba.com.au/product/front-4000-series-hd-brake-rotor-dba42304/ If you have access to an R33 GTST VIN and your VIN, you could also use a Nissan Parts lookup like Amayama to show them the part number is different between 33 GTST and 34 GTT which may get their attention
    • So i got reply from EBC and they just this site where you can clearly see those 296mm fronts on R34 GTT. I send them photos and "quotes" that 296mm are not for 34 GTT and they are too small. But it will be very hard to return them cuz nobody here knows 100% and they just copy those EBC catalogue :-D https://ebcbrakesdirect.com/automotive/nissan/skyline-r34
    • Hi, is the HKS  Tower Bar still available ? negotiable ? 🤔
    • From there, it is really just test and assemble. Plug the adapter cables from the unit into the back of the screen, then the other side to the car harness. Don't forget all the other plugs too! Run the cables behind the unit and screw it back into place (4 screws) and you should now have 3 cables to run from the top screen to the android unit. I ran them along the DS of the other AV units in the gap between their backets and the console, and used some corrugated tubing on the sharp edges of the bracket so the wires were safe. Plug the centre console and lower screen in temporarily and turn the car to ACC, the AV should fire up as normal. Hold the back button for 3 sec and Android should appear on the top screen. You need to set the input to Aux for audio (more on that later). I put the unit under the AC duct in the centre console, with the wifi antenna on top of the AC duct near the shifter, the bluetooth antenna on the AC duct under the centre console The GPS unit on top of the DS to AC duct; they all seem to work OK there are are out of the way. Neat cable routing is a pain. For the drive recorder I mounted it near the rear view mirror and run the cable in the headlining, across the a pillar and then down the inside of the a pillar seal to the DS lower dash. From there it goes across and to one USB input for the unit. The second USB input is attached to the ECUtec OBD dongle and the 3rd goes to the USB bulkhead connected I added in the centre console. This is how the centre console looks "tidied" up Note I didn't install the provided speaker, didn't use the 2.5mm IPod in line or the piggyback loom for the Ipod or change any DIP switches; they seem to only be required if you need to use the Ipod input rather than the AUX input. That's it, install done, I'll follow up with a separate post on how the unit works, but in summary it retains all factory functions and inputs (so I still use my phone to the car for calls), reverse still works like factory etc.
