My understanding was always that the knees come in when you're approaching your weight limit. You might have to do some assistance exercises or maybe some band work to help you at the problem point.

When do your knees start turning in? Coming up or going down?

I'm not savvy enough on squat mechanics to suggest which muscle you want to target, Rev would have a better idea, but I'm thinking anterior adductor (inner thigh) and ITB (outer quad) stability could be a problem?

I've used brackets just in case my terminology is wrong :)

Yeah it started doing it at 50kg last night which isn't that heavy for me, but yeah the 60kg was bad it was making my whole body lean to the left as I was coming up.

My knee is fine going down, it's as I come back up that it bends in and it's only the right knee, so therefore it's my left leg predominantly the adductor that is weak?

I was wondering if just doing leg extension, leg curls and lunges on the left leg would help at all

Left leg/glute is weaker than the right; right knee is coming in to save the day and you're shifting the weight over the right leg when the weight gets too heavy for the left to push it's share.

It's a mobility issue that needs to be trained out of the CNS, not unlike a dominant arm during bench press but more exacerbated. Your adductors aren't weak, you just don't know how to use them (or moreso, not use them) to keep the right leg from coming in to save the day when "shit hits the fan" and the left leg/glute can't drive anymore.

Interesting. Stuff, I'd say the right is compensating for the left.

EDIT: Birds just posted the same thing.

Anyway, you can do single leg work to bring the left up to par.

I had to do that back in the day of trying to get bench weight up. Trained left side to stop right compensating.

That or stick to a weight both legs can comfortably drive with and slowly increase weight until they are synchronized.

If used to do it on 40kg but now that she has surpassed that (making left leg stronger), it doesn't. It wasn't doing it on 50 recently but I'd say muscle tiredness is likely responsible for this particular incident.

    • Haha luckily we don't have emissions, inspections, or any laws against power adders here. They only thing they somewhat keep an eye out for are ridiculously loud exhausts. 
    • Just wanted to pop in an update on my setup. The CD swap has been great, I love the mazworks housing for the overall simplicity. I ended up sealing my trans tunnel with a thin sheet of aluminum reused some of the holes on the trans tunnel, and laid some window sealing EPS foam around the edges. Works great, really quieted things down and sealed up the car.  As for the power comment. Right now I am also running about 650whp. with the way the bell housing is attached to the face of the transmission I have zero doubts it would be fine, mainly because the input shaft and main shaft bearings are seated into the bell housing adapter. This means the load is NOT on the bolts to maintain the power, rather into he casing of the bell housing; Yes the bolts are doing some work there, but with both shafts locked in zero worries.  End of the day, the Mazworks solution is the easiest and safest. no need to take your trans to a shop to get milled perfectly, it fits with minimal clearancing, and you can use all your existing clutch and flywheel.  Driving wise the CD has been great compared to the big box, I'll probably swap my final drive at some point. The serial 9 shifter is gooooood, my only qualm is how tight it is, it takes a fair bit to get use to, 5th and 6th are a bit eh/hard to find at times, but maybe I need re-adjusting, and I think my clutch master is very tired and needs a rebuild. 
    • If you are keen, have a look at my build thread. Car is for sale for the right money or straight swap for a F80 M3 LCI.
    • Welcome mate.  No point in over thinking it, buying any one of those cars you mentioned is not a smart or logical choice with the availability of many "better" (re price to performance) cars available to you.  The heart wants what the heart wants, buy whatever it leads you too.
    • Hey everyone! Im so grateful to be apart of this community and ill do my best to be apart of this. Firstly, i'm not disclosing my real name due to in real life circumstances surrounding my privacy and public image (sorry lol) Secondly, The only thing personal I am willing to share is that I'm from Sydney and a descendant of one of Sydneys largest mortgage firms. I got gifted my first ever car, a 2022 Porsche Cayenne and I love it to death. Ive been driving it for about 5 or 6 months now and honestly Im so grateful for my parents for gifting me this vehicle. However recently I've been working my ass off to afford my second car (which I need help deciding soooooo community help me out please?). Once decided, im planning to try modify it myself. Recent I've been thinking about getting a Skyline, particularly a 25GT or GT-V, yes I know overrated as hell, but I'm also considering a Chaser which I recently came to love. However my dream is to one day own a 180SX (So hard to find clean versions and im not really into importing).  Lastly before I send this off, I want to apologize if I sound tacky or pretentious. I try not to and want to genuinely learn from everyone and anyone. (Im no expert in this area) Thanks for reading!
