hey Leesh do you have flat feet and or "duck feet"?

flat feet:

I couldnt find a picture of duck feet in humans but its whenn you walk, your feet point outwards.

I have both, both are being fixed but I bring it up because there are issues with my squat from them, one issue i have is knees bending inwards like you are describing

I have no idea about my feet? I might go to athletes foot and get them to use that machine on my feet.

I did 100kg last session too! However last session I only did 1 of 90 and none of 80kg. It's the other sets that have jumped up

Shall I try 105kg next session?

I'd stick with where you are now until you can manage 2 or 3 reps of 100 :) Even if it means resting for like 10 seconds between reps, just don't let go of the bar. Either way, congratulations on 100kg Lessh! It's pretty damn awesome ;)

i agree with troy.

focus on getting 100kg to 5 reps then treat yourself to a milkshake (or something else that you enjoy) as a sneaky reward

As you get stronger the sets before your heavy will increase because you aren't as tired as you are when you build up to that 100kg dead. This has been the basis of Rev's argument with Bird's about the best way to get stronger and how volume before strength isnt as productive (i guess had a mind blank for the word i was looking for) as straight out strength training.

Nothing to be upset about its natural. I say have a longer rest between your heavy sets and push that extra rep out

Training tonight was a waste of a time. I'm so sore the day after deadlifts I can't do shoulder press at all and lat pulldown and seated row well below par. I really don't know how to do my days. If I do Thursdays session on Friday then I'm still going to have an issue doing squats on the Saturday. I can't train the day after deadlifts so I don't know how to do it :(

Here's a scenario.

1 warmup set of a poofteenth of nothing (dynamic stretch) then 2 sets of 95kg . big fat rest in-between sets . How long? Wait till your pulse returns to resting. Whatever reps you get. Should be in the 3-5s but go to failure. No max rep stuff every workout,

Up your weight in a week by 10kg - (try 105kg for 3-5 in the first set, if under 3 reps then go 100kg for second set) do the same thing. See what happens.

And so on. reps in the 3-5's , under 3 drop weight (no loss if you do 2 still will do the job) , over 5 up weight

eg; get to 6 reps and increase kg to drop to 3 reps.

No more 1rm till christmas. See if you can unwrap 140kg as a PB.

Re: Rev's post.

Leesh he's basically saying do a few low weight warmup reps then get right into the meat of it and start pushing the weight up rather than doing eleventy billion reps at weight you have mastered at the expense of being able to push your max anywhere because you've already wasted so much power earlier in the set.

I realise this goes against Bird's volume training methodology, but you're a big girl and if you want to try something new, go ahead and do it.

I mix it up from time to time and sometimes a change is as good as a holiday.

    • I came here to note that is a zener diode too base on the info there. Based on that, I'd also be suspicious that replacing it, and it's likely to do the same. A lot of use cases will see it used as either voltage protection, or to create a cheap but relatively stable fixed voltage supply. That would mean it has seen more voltage than it should, and has gone into voltage melt down. If there is something else in the circuit dumping out higher than it should voltages, that needs to be found too. It's quite likely they're trying to use the Zener to limit the voltage that is hitting through to the transistor beside it, so what ever goes to the zener is likely a signal, and they're using the transistor in that circuit to amplify it. Especially as it seems they've also got a capacitor across the zener. Looks like there is meant to be something "noisy" to that zener, and what ever it was, had a melt down. Looking at that picture, it also looks like there's some solder joints that really need redoing, and it might be worth having the whole board properly inspected.  Unfortunately, without being able to stick a multimeter on it, and start tracing it all out, I'm pretty much at a loss now to help. I don't even believe I have a climate control board from an R33 around here to pull apart and see if any of the circuit appears similar to give some ideas.
    • Nah - but you won't find anything on dismantling the seats in any such thing anyway.
    • Could be. Could also be that they sit around broken more. To be fair, you almost never see one driving around. I see more R chassis GTRs than the Renault ones.
    • Yeah. Nah. This is why I said My bold for my double emphasis. We're not talking about cars tuned to the edge of det here. We're talking about normal cars. Flame propagation speed and the amount of energy required to ignite the fuel are not significant factors when running at 1500-4000 rpm, and medium to light loads, like nearly every car on the road (except twin cab utes which are driven at 6k and 100% load all the time). There is no shortage of ignition energy available in any petrol engine. If there was, we'd all be in deep shit. The calorific value, on a volume basis, is significantly different, between 98 and 91, and that turns up immediately in consumption numbers. You can see the signal easily if you control for the other variables well enough, and/or collect enough stats. As to not seeing any benefit - we had a couple of EF and EL Falcons in the company fleet back in the late 90s and early 2000s. The EEC IV ECU in those things was particularly good at adding in timing as soon as knock headroom improved, which typically came from putting in some 95 or 98. The responsiveness and power improved noticeably, and the fuel consumption dropped considerably, just from going to 95. Less delta from there to 98 - almost not noticeable, compared to the big differences seen between 91 and 95. Way back in the day, when supermarkets first started selling fuel from their own stations, I did thousands of km in FNQ in a small Toyota. I can't remember if it was a Starlet or an early Yaris. Anyway - the supermarket servos were bringing in cheap fuel from Indonesia, and the other servos were still using locally refined gear. The fuel consumption was typically at least 5%, often as much as 8% worse on the Indo shit, presumably because they had a lot more oxygenated component in the brew, and were probably barely meeting the octane spec. Around the same time or maybe a bit later (like 25 years ago), I could tell the difference between Shell 98 and BP 98, and typically preferred to only use Shell then because the Skyline ran so much better on it. Years later I found the realtionship between them had swapped, as a consequence of yet more refinery closures. So I've only used BP 98 since. Although, I must say that I could not fault the odd tank of United 98 that I've run. It's probably the same stuff. It is also very important to remember that these findings are often dependent on region. With most of the refineries in Oz now dead, there's less variability in local stuff, and he majority of our fuels are not even refined here any more anyway. It probably depends more on which SE Asian refinery is currently cheapest to operate.
