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).

110kg x 0 (failed half way up)


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.

Hey guys my gf leg workout atm is

Leg press 100kgs 3 x 10

Calf raises 100 kgs 3 x 10

squats 20 kgs 5 x 5

Lunges 10 kgs 3 x 10.

Hip raises? 10kgs 3 x 10

Training once a week

Her legs are toned as is but wants them to look bigger and more musclier in a feminim way though but is stuck atm and not much gains. Some pt's have said try doing 20 reps and others 8. What are your recomendations?

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

    • Forgot to include this but this is the mid section of my steering rack that looks like it has a thread/can be turned with that notch mentioned in the post:
    • Hey everyone, Wanted to pick some brains about this issue I'm having with rebuilding my 33 rack (PN is 49001-19U05). All of the tutorials/videos I've seen online are either R34 or S Chassis racks which seem to be pretty straightforward to disassemble but this process doesnt carry over to my rack. Few of the key differences that I've noted The pinion shaft on the other racks bolt on with 3 torx bolts: Whereas my rack bolts on with 2 allen head bolts: These changes are pretty inconsequential but the main difference is how you pull the actual rack out of the housing. The other skyline/s chassis racks can be taken out by tapping the rack out of the body with a socket and it just slides right out. I'm unable to do that with my rack because there's a hard stop at the end that doesn't let the seal/shaft be tapped out. Can also see a difference in the other end of the rack where mine has a notch that looks like you're able to use a big wrench to unthread 2 halves of the rack whereas the other racks are just kinda set in with a punch. My rack: Other racks: TLDR; Wanted to know if anyone has rebuilt this specific model of steering rack for the R33 and if there were any steps to getting it done easier or if I should just give this to a professional to get done. Sorry if this post is a bit messy, first one I've done.
    • 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
