Have you tried stretching or using a really light weight at the end of your sets to try and push lower? I've always had good hip flexibility despite my long legs. My hamstrings are pretty poor though.

Next session go

bar x 10

40 x 8

60 x 5

80 x 3

100 x 1

then go 115 and 120

stop doing a million reps before your 1rms

Why you gotta hate on my gazillion reps? I love the volume stuff.

I know that's the best thing to do to increase 1RM, i.e. cut down on my volume...so I'll probably turn to it when I start plateauing bad with the current setup. But for now I enjoy sticking the 1RM after a heap of working sets. Because Birds

Yeah I gave up reading after the first two comments. The chosen answer supposedly a trainer for an international weightlifting association? Err...

There's misinformation and then there's MISSINGinformation!

do your volume after you go heavy, not before... just do enough to warm up, hit a pb, then do a heap of volume work

^^ This.

You're not going to find your 1rm doing it your way.

You're only going to find your exhausted 1rm.

Do it like I said, then once you fail a 1rm, have a 5 minute rest, then load up your volume sets and go for broke back mountain

60kg x 10

75kg x 10

90kg x 8

100kg x 3

110kg x 1

Got a bit worried on the 90, being down a rep from Friday. Felt good about the 100 x 3 though, so I shot for 110kg and there it is. Will try and get 2 of them next time or shoot for 115.

60kg x 10

75kg x 10

90kg x 8

100kg x 3 (died half way up on 4th rep)

115kg x 0 (died half way up)

Didn't make the 115 tonight; back just didn't want to work with me after the fail on the 100s. Next time maybe!

Was sick with a cold this week, debating whether to come. No one ever got anywhere by being home with a cold, so here I am.

Feel like I'm leaning forward too far on the heavier weights and the motion is turning into a bit of a good morning, as my back is giving way before my legs are. Seems to be consequential of trying to squat all the way to my ankles in oly stance; need to sit back on my heels more and keep the hips from coming up before my back. Hoping to post better results next sesh.

    • I'm normally copping my own abuse from neglecting my daily drivers. "Those suspension bushes will last a bit more", "Don't worry about the oil leak, just keep topping it up". The project cars I'm always doing things slowly on them as I'm wanting them to be done better, and neater, and nicer. Luckily I don't have to deal with 18 year old Matt's "Learning to wire" stuff in the project cars. And there's only one piece of wiring I'm displeased about in the Landcruiser, and it's about to be cut out... However, the box loads of parts that have been going through this place lately for the Landcruiser... Brake pads Brake Rotors Full handbrake overhaul Wheel Bearings Seals Swivel hubs Steering Boxes Half the suspension joints Shocks Air bags (Ones to go in the rear springs for towing) Water pump Timing kit Lower timing case Harmonic Balancer Radiator Lots of other little seals and shits Gas struts for the bonnet New power window switches And god knows what else I've forgotten... Ha ha ha I have my fingers crossed the pinion seals don't start leaking on the diffs, that the transfer case doesn't leak, and the gearbox input shaft doesn't leak, nor the rear main seal. As they're about the only seals I haven't replaced in the driveline! I'm seriously eyeing off buying new caliper rebuild kits front and rear brake calipers... I'll probably recheck all the valve clearances soon too, and hopefully, it should be all good and sweet to haul some long distance trips again!
    • Every time I pull my 3x gauges out of the console and see the crack-addict way that I did the wiring, and I just can't bring myself to tear it all apart and "make it nice", because it is currently working. In fact, the last time I was in there I probably made it worse.
    • The best part is when you own the car long enough that you look back and find your OWN ham fisted amateur shit!
    • The annoying part about neglect, is when you start to replace one thing, and find ten more broken things. Ham fisted monkey repairs you normally only find out about when trying to do something unrelated! Ha ha   Neglect you can kind of anticipate the huge costs to fix it all. Ham fistedness is normally a shock the first time your work on a new old car, as everything "looked" good before.
