^^ 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 volu

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?

For her legs to get bigger, she'll have to eat more.

For her legs to be more "f**k I hate that word" she'll have to get lighter and eat less

Wonder why she's stuck?

Exercises are fine

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

      ER34 AT ECU and HKS SLD pins

      By GoHashiriya · Posted

      Hi all, I need to get this HKS SLD attached to my stock ECU because I've now got the German autobahn and faster European circuits to contend with.  The car is a manual 2dr ER34 with an AT ECU and I've realised the AT ECU has two pins for speed sensor signals: Pin 29: Vehicle speed sensor signal (Vehicle speed sensor 2) Pin *58: Output shaft rotation sensor signal (Vehicle speed sensor 1) - *RB25DET A/T model only Before I go butchering this harness, is anyone sure of which pin is the correct one for signal adjustment? The attached document from HKS indicates pin 29 but I found this situation mentioned in the following thread on a different forum (R34 GTT Auto Trans Speed Cut Problem | Zerotohundred) mentioning pin 58 needing to be altered by member zephuros, albeit it seems to be for an RSM-GP and the info appears to be old.  R34_All_Workshop_Manual-pages-2.pdf R34_All_Workshop_Manual-pages-3.pdf R34_All_Workshop_Manual-pages-1.pdf HKS SLD Vehicle Pin out P59-P70 ER34-pages.pdf

      Slimline sub on the rear parcel shelf is doable. Pioneer TS-WX140DA is only 70mm high.

      Rear suspension upgrades

      People like Johnny Dose Bro might be laughing at my post because I accidentally added 100mm to my numbers. 350-355 is indeed the lower limit. 450 is off-road Skyline spec.

      What is the "compromise" that you think will happen? Are you thinking that something will get damaged? The only things you have to be concerned about with spherical jointed suspension arms are; Arguments with the constabulary wrt their legality (they are likely to be illegal for road use without an engineering certificatation, and that may not be possible to obtain). A lot more NVH transmitted through to the passengers (which is hardly a concern for those with a preference for good handling, anyway). Greatly increased inspection and maintenance requirements (see above points, both).   It is extremely necessary to ask what car you are talking about. Your discussion on strut tops, for example, would be completely wrong for an R chassis, but be correct for an S chassis. R32s have specific problems that R33/4 do not have. Etc. I have hardened rubber bushes on upper rear control arms and traction rods. Adjustable length so as to be able to set both camber and bump steer. You cannot contemplate doing just the control arms and not the traction arms. And whatever bushing you have in one you should have in the other so that they have similar characteristics. Otherwise you can get increased oddness of behaviour as one bushing flexes and the other doesn't, changing the alignment between them. I have stock lower rear arms with urethane bushes. I may make changes here, these are are driven by the R32's geometry problems, so I won't discuss them here unless it proves necessary. I have spherical joints in the front caster rods. I have experienced absolutely no negatives and only positives from doing so. They are massively better than any other option. I have sphericals in the FUCAs, but this is driven largely by the (again) R32 specific problems with the motion of those arms. I just have to deal with the increased maintenance required. Given how much better the front end behaves with the sphericals in there.....I'd probably be tempted to go away from my preference (which is not to have sphericals on a road car, for 2 of the 3 reasons in the bulleted list above), just to gain those improvements. And so my preference for not using sphericals (in general) on a road car should be obvious. I use them judiciously, though, as required to solve particular problems.
