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.

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

    • 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.
    • Place the new daughterboard in the case and mount it using the 3 small black rivets provided, and reconnect the 3 factory ribbon cables to the new board Then, use the 3 piggyback cables from the daughterboard into the factory board on top (there are stand offs in the case to keep them apart. and remember to reconnect the antenna and rear cover fan wires. 1 screw to hold the motherboard in place. Before closing the case, make a hole in the sticker covering a hole in the case and run the cable for the android unit into the plug there. The video forgot this step, so did I, so will you probably. Then redo the 4 screws on back, 2 each top and bottom, 3 each side and put the 2 brackets back on.....all ready to go and not that tricky really.      
    • Onto the android unit. You need to remove the top screen because there is a daughterboard to put inside the case. Each side vent pops out from clips; start at the bottom and carefully remove upwards (use a trim remover tool to avoid breaking anything). Then the lower screen and controls come out, 4 screws, a couple of clips (including 3 flimsy ones at the top) and 3 plugs on the rear. Then the upper screen, 4 screws and a bunch of plugs and she is out. From there, remove the mounting brackets (2 screws each), 4 screws on the rear, 2 screws top and bottom and 3 screws holding in the small plates on each side. When you remove the back cover (tight fit), watch out for the power cable for the fan, I removed it so I could put the back aside. The mainboard is held in by 1 screw in the middle, 1 aerial at the top and 3 ribbon cables. If you've ever done any laptop stuff the ribbon cables are OK to work with, just pop up the retainer and they slide out. If you are not familiar just grab a 12 year old from an iphone factory, they will know how it works The case should now look like this:
    • Switching the console was tricky. First there were 6 screws to remove, and also the little adapter loom and its screws had to come out. Also don't forget to remove the 2 screws holding the central locking receiver. Then there are 4 clips on either side....these were very tight in this case and needed careful persuading with a long flat screw driver....some force required but not enough to break them...this was probably the fiddliest part of the whole job. In my case I needed both the wiring loom and the central locking receiver module to swap across to the new one. That was it for the console, so "assembly is the reverse of disassembly"
    • But first....while I was there, I also swapped across the centre console box for the other style where the AV inputs don't intrude into the (very limited !) space.  Part# was 96926-4GA0A, 284H3-4GA0B, 284H3-4GA0A. (I've already swapped the top 12v socket for a USB bulkhead in this pic, it fit the hole without modification:) Comparison of the 2: Basically to do the console you need to remove the DS and PS side console trim (they slide up and back, held in by clips only) Then remove the back half of the console top trim with the cupholders, pops up, all clips again but be careful at the front as it is pretty flimsy. Then slide the shifter boot down, remove the spring clip, loose it forever somewhere in the car the pull the shift knob off. Remove the tiny plastic piece on DS near "P" and use something thin and long (most screwdrivers won't fit) to push down the interlock and put the shifter down in D for space. There is one screw at the front, then the shifter surround and ashtray lift up. There are 3 or 4 plugs underneath and it is off. Next is the rear cover of the centre console; you need to open the console lid, pop off the trim covering the lid hinge and undo the 2rd screw from the driver's side (the rest all need to come out later so you can do them all now and remove the lid) Then the rear cover unclips (6 clips), start at the top with a trim tool pulling backwards. Once it is off there are 2 screws facing rearwards to remove (need a short phillips for these) and you are done with the rear of the console. There are 4 plugs at the A/V box to unclip Then there are 2 screws at the front of the console, and 2 clips (pull up and back) and the console will come out.
