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.

    • Price seems pretty good to me. Also seems a hell of a lot cheaper then buying another vehicle that only ever gets used for towing.  I'm a long way from you mate, I'm a couple of hours out of Brizzy. 
    • New [400]Z, they're available in manual and you don't have to worry about parts scarcity. 
    • Just planning to have the wiring neat and hide as much as possible.
    • The sodium acetate, mixed with citric acid, doesn't actually buffer each other. Interestingly though, if you used Sodium Acetate, and acetic acid, THAT becomes a buffer solution. Additionally, a weak acid that can attack a metal, is still a weak acid that can attack a metal. If you don't neutralise it, and wash it off, it's going to be able to keep attacking. It works the same way when battery acid dries, get that stuff somewhere, and then it gets wet, and off it goes again breaking things down. There's a reason why people prefer a weak acid, and it's because they want TIME to be able to be on their side. IE, DIY guys are happy to leave some mild steel in vinegar for 24 hours to get mill scale off. However, if you want to do it chemically in industry, you grab the muriatic acid. If you want to do it quicker at home, go for the acetic acid if you don't want muriatic around. At the end of the day, look at the above thumbnail, as it proves what I said in the earlier post, you can clean that fuel tank up all you want with the solution, but the rust that has now been removed was once the metal of the fuel tank. So how thin in spots is your fuel tank getting? If the magazine on the left, is the actual same magazine as on the right, you'll notice it even introduces more holes... Well, rust removal in general actually does that. The fuel tank isn't very thick. So, I'll state again, look to replace the tank, replace the fuel hanger, and pump, work out how the rust and shit is making it past the fuel filter, and getting into the injectors. That is the real problem. If the fuel filter were doing its job, the injectors wouldn't be blocked.
    • Despite having minimal clothing because of the hot weather right now, I did have rubber gloves and safety glasses on just in-case for most of the time. Yes, I was scrubbing with my gloves on before, but brushing with a brush removes the remaining rust. To neutralize, I was thinking distilled water and baking soda, or do you think that would be overkill?
