Coach T's voice. Man his accent freaks me out a little.. lol. Damn French Canadians. T-nation used to be so good for reading info... Now they just plug their products in just about everything.

Front squats are boss. I found my rowing strength increased once I included these, upper traps got a good stimulus too!

How are your numbers going Nick? I was just reading through the thread and a lot of the fella's in here have some good looking numbers. I'm assuming most of you train for PL comps?

The importance of leg day became most apparent to me during basketball lastnight.

Opposition were all gym brahs, at least 90-95kg a pop and mostly lean...I'm still my sleight/tall 77kg and NONE of these guys could move me out of the way in defense; they simply bounced off me and in offense I was able to hip push them out of the way to take boards. There's a reason a tree trunk is thicker to the ground...

All in the roots, brah

Easy!

My squats are pretty average since I had 3 weeks off. I'm only 2.5kg off my pb but I've lost my endurance. I was doing 60kg x 13 now I'm doing 60kg x 5 and that's a struggle. Luckily I'm making pbs in bench and deads to make up for it lol

New rep pb tonight, 175x5.

Fifth was a grinder.

Very strong squats mate what bodyweight you at?

I take it you are lifting for power not bodybuilding? Maybe not.. I rotate power sets and high rep sets. Firm believer in being strong as well as lifting to look good

I'm an easy 86kg@179cm, not lean, not big enough.

I've put on 10kg weight (probabaly 50% functional/muscle) and 50-60kg to my squat 1rm in last 12months.

Legs are where a lot of the muscle has gone. Stick legs, gone up 2-3 pant sizes.

I've always done a powerbuilding type split, I do Squats,Bench,Deads,Military as a strength exercise using powerlifting cycle templates., accessories are more hypertrophy.

Good stuff very solid at that weight. I have always found legs the hardest things to build but one of the most important. After many years of training its only the last 8 months that i have made ANY ground on them. I never used to squat which was half my problem but injuries from football prevented that. Now fixed my self up and squat 150 for 10 reps but i only go just before parallel. My bodybulding training has me doing slightly less weight with a lot more reps with long pauses at the bottom and this has made them grow. put on 2" in 8 months so happy with that.

My training partners legs are ridiculous and cant wear jeans or anything like that. I dont want to be the tailored pants dude hahah

With the 5x5 you will get 200 easy! good luck

I have a friend that is a tailored pants kind of guy.

I don't use 5x5, but I'll get there just the same!

    • I feel I should re-iterate. The above picture is the only option available in the software and the blurb from HP Tuners I quoted earlier is the only way to add data to it and that's the description they offer as to how to figure it out. The only fields available is the blank box after (Input/ ) and the box right before = Output. Those are the only numbers that can be entered.
    • No, your formula is arse backwards. Mine is totally different to yours, and is the one I said was bang on at 50 and 150. I'll put your data into Excel (actually it already is, chart it and fit a linear fit to it, aiming to make it evenly wrong across the whole span. But not now. Other things to do first.
    • God damnit. The only option I actually have in the software is the one that is screenshotted. I am glad that I at least got it right... for those two points. Would it actually change anything if I chose/used 80C and 120C as the two points instead? My brain wants to imagine the formula put into HPtuners would be the same equation, otherwise none of this makes sense to me, unless: 1) The formula you put into VCM Scanner/HPTuners is always linear 2) The two points/input pairs are only arbitrary to choose (as the documentation implies) IF the actual scaling of the sensor is linear. then 3) If the scaling is not linear, the two points you choose matter a great deal, because the formula will draw a line between those two points only.
    • Nah, that is hella wrong. If I do a simple linear between 150°C (0.407v) and 50°C (2.98v) I get the formula Temperature = -38.8651*voltage + 165.8181 It is perfectly correct at 50 and 150, but it is as much as 20° out in the region of 110°C, because the actual data is significantly non-linear there. It is no more than 4° out down at the lowest temperatures, but is is seriously shit almost everywhere. I cannot believe that the instruction is to do a 2 point linear fit. I would say the method I used previously would have to be better.
