Whole team is done with 8's, so funny watching their expression, pure relief. Actually Max, Dan and Zoran do them Saturday, they have 180kg x 8 for 3 sets, no wraps

Jack did 195 x 8 x 3, Emad 170 x 8 x 3 and Spiros 160 x 8 x 3, last night.

Everyone starts wrapping from the first week of 5's next week. I know Max, Dan and Zoran have got 205 x 5 x 3 sets next week, then 220 x 5 x 3 sets the following week. They are on the 275kg squat plan.

Whats your first week of 5's Nick? Youre on the 220kg plan arent you? Must be 165 x 5 next week?

I don't find the initial 3 sets so bad... it's the pause squats and high rep safety bar squats afterwards that kill me... just not used to that amount of volume... it hurts my vagina

180 x 8... fck that!

Zoran and Max look so comfortable squatting... all my reps are ugly grinds lol

yeah on the 220kg plan... but I want 230kg at nationals...

60kg x 10

70kg x 10

80kg x 10

90kg x 6

95kg x 3

Might add a 6th/1RM set to this so I can start using it to leverage my sets of reps and up their weight. 100 should be fairly doable for a start.

60kg x 10

70kg x 10

80kg x 10

90kg x 5

100kg x 2

The 100 was supposed to be a 1RM, but it felt easy on the way up, so I did another :D

80kg x 10 means a fair bit more than 100kg for 1rm

Yeah but by the time I get to the 100, it doesn't lol

Prolly could have done 105 or 110 for the 1RM at the end. Though it's almost time to space out the working sets. Maybe shift the 70 to 75 and 80 to 90; 90 to 95 and 1RM to 105.

As long as the weight goes up everywhere :)

if you are actually going to try and go for a single, then go

bar x 10

60 x 5

80 x 3

100 x 1

then either 105 or 110 depending on how you felt.

then keep going up by 5 or 10 depending on how you felt etc etc.

obviously do it in a rack with safety bars or spotters.

Whatever you fail on you'd be able to do the next week with less singles before it.

105kg x 1 (died on second rep; thank you safety bars)

I think the leg press is helping a fair bit with squat strength, along with progressively stepping up the weight on squats. I'm tryIng my best not to lose form as I step up the weight...it is still very ATG...however...I do "good morning" the weight up when I am struggling in the hole sometimes. Is this a bad thing? Indicative that I should be further back on my heels?

    • No those pads are DBA too  but they have colors too. I look at the and imo the green "street" are the best.
    • I’m not sure what happened I told them about sonic tunes free OTS tune and the next the I know .. I was booted..   To funny 
    • Yea - I mean I've seen my fuel pump which is decades old and uh, while I'm not saying this with real knowledge... but I sure get the ick at using anything in the fuel system that produced the state of that pump. Many years ago I went through multiple pumps (and strainers) before I dropped the tank to clean it out with extreme violence. I'm talking the car would do maybe 50km before coming to a halt, which resulted in me cleaning out the filter with some brake cleaner and going on my way. None of my stuff ever looked like what came out of your fuel tank. I don't think I'd be happy with it unless every single component was replaced (or at least checked/cleaned/confirmed to be clean here).
    • I'm not going to recommend an EBC pad. I don't like them. Just about anything else would suit me better. I've been using Intima pads for a while now.
    • Agreed, and in particular the earth strap that should go from the subframe to the chassis but it often broken or left off. There is a section in the R32 workshop manual you can follow for troubleshooting if you don't see anything suspicious, and depending where you are (there is no location on your user profile) you should be able to get your hands on a second hand replacement unit still if needed
