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.

      Leak from Tokico BM50 Brake Master Cylinder

      By brillo · Posted

      Hi, SteveL Thank you very much for your reply, you seem to be the only person on the net who has come up with a definitive answer for which I am grateful. The "Leak" was more by way of wet bubbles when the pedal was depressed hard by a buddy while trying to gey a decent pedal when bleeding the system having fitted the rebuilt BM50 back in the car, which now makes perfect sense. A bit of a shame having just rebuilt my BM50, I did not touch the proportioning valve side of things, the BM50 was leaking from the primary piston seal and fluid was running down the the Brake booster hence the need to rebuild, I had never noticed any fluid leaking from that hole previously it only started when I refitted it to the car. The brake lines in the photo are "Kunifer" which is a Copper/Nickel alloy brake pipe, but are only the ones I use to bench bleed Master cylinders, they are perfectly legal to use on vehicles here in the UK, however the lines on the car are PVF coated steel. Thanks again for clearing this up for me, a purchase of a new BMC appears to be on the cards, I have been looking at various options in case my BM50 was not repairable and have looked at the HFM BM57 which I understand is manufactured in Australia.

      R33 GTST Steering Rack (49001-19U05) Rebuild?

      By Gantai · Posted

      Well the install is officially done. Filled with fluid and bled it today, but didn't get a chance to take it on a test drive. I'll throw some final pics of the lines and whatnot but you can definitely install a DMAX rack in an R33 with pretty minor mods. I think the only other thing I had to do that isn't documented here is grind a bit of the larger banjo fitting to get it to clear since the banjos are grouped much tighter on the DMAX rack. Also the dust boots from a R33 do not fit either fyi, so if you end up doing this install for whatever reason you'll need to grab those too. One caveat with buying the S15 dust boots however is that the clamps are too small to fit on the R33 inner tie rod since they're much thicker so keep the old clamps around. The boots also twist a bit when adjusting toe but it's not a big deal. No issues or leaks so far, steering feels good and it looks like there's a bit more lock now than I had before. Getting an alignment on Saturday so I'll see how it feels then but seems like it'll be good to go

      Leak from Tokico BM50 Brake Master Cylinder

      By SteveL · Posted

      I don't get in here much anymore but I can help you with this.   The hole is a vent (air relief) for the brake proportioning valve, which is built into the master cylinder.    The bad news is that if brake fluid is leaking from that hole then it's getting past the proportioning valve seals.   The really bad news is that no spare parts are available for the proportioning valve either from Nissan or after market.     It's a bit of a PITA getting the proportioning valve out of the master cylinder body anyway but, fortunately, leaks from that area are rare in my experience. BTW, if those are copper (as such) brake lines you should get rid of them.    Bundy (steel) tube is a far better choice (and legal  in Australia - if that's where you are).
