Why the change?

We've only been going twice a week for the last few months or so, just the two alternating workouts instead of 1-2-1 one week then 2-1-2 every other.

Now we're getting back into thrice a week so just taking it slow as we're a bit out of conditioning - good excuse to hit some volume, focusing on good technique and high reps.

Leesh is also starting her cutting as of tomorrow so volume will help with this - though we may return to heavy weights with the repeated workout if the volume doesn't do much for us.

Just in time for bikini season.... hopefully you dont loose to much strength whilst cutting

Yeah I'm worried I will, but at the same time, I've reached my strength goals and I'm happy with what I've achieved. 60kg bench was always my ultimate goal and I'm beyond that now. I've gotten to the point where I'm strong but I don't look as good as I used to in a bikini, so it's time to drop some bf and hopefully expose my muscle that I've been working on for 2 years. I also want to look better than my sister and her bff who both do bodybuilding comps, when we go to Bali for Xmas

Oh ok. You will be back there soon enough

Yeah, I think my injury is always going to limit me in deads now...like my back is killing me today after last night, can't bend down to put my shoes on. I'm probably better just doing lighter weight on deads rather than trying get back to 120+

Fair enough.

Ive been having a read about injury prevention one thing that neil hill said and does is a smaller 3 week program that repeats itself. He has 1 week which he calls the heavy week 6-8 rep range.

He believes that because it is only 1 week it limits how much stress is put on the body and decreases chances of injury.

Few others claim that less weight and higher reps also decreases.

And a few drs just say heavy weights are bad for the joints soo yeah

    • Hang on. Let me get this straight. The desire is to have coilovers, BC in particular, to be MORE comfortable on Sydney roads than stock suspension? Well, that's obviously not right. BCs have crude damping design at the very best, and typically hard spring rates. BC stands for Billy Cart. And then, the desire is to put in some shitty old worn out stockers, to get it blue slipped and then put the BCs back in? And then.....what? Not worry about getting pulled up by the Plod? Because you seem to have raised a worry about paying for engineering (which actually does solve all your legality problems) and still getting pulled up.... but the only problem there is that if/when that happens you have to show your paperwork at the inspection station. Whereas, if you just swap in borrowed shitty old stockers to get it slipped now, and then you get defected in the future, you have to go find more shitty old stockers then too. You course of action looks like this set of options: Buy brand new stock type dampers, and springs. probably cost a bit more than $1k all up, but will last for the remaining life of the car. Put them in, pass inspection, drive on them forever more. Hell, they could even be really nice Bilsteins and Kings or other lower&stiffer springs if you wanted. Get the car engineered as is. ~$1k. Buy new Shockworks coilvers (or MCA) and also pay for engineering. You're spending a lot more here. But these will be the best things that you could drive around on.
    • Might be worthwhile hitting up Facebook's groups, I know most of them contain terrible people and scammers - however you might be able to find someone that's in Sydney with factory suspension you could purchase and/or hire. Just do not send any form of money anywhere, in person cash only.
    • Thanks @Duncan Ride height is fine. I think it's almost stock tbh. Happy to share a pic. I don't actually have a regular mechanic as haven't lived in Sydney too long. Could you or anyone recommend any shops in Sydney?
    • You just need a different blue slip shop (preferably one you regularly use as a mechanic), and make sure the coil overs are as close as possible to standard height
    • yeah the sugar refining companies were pushing for the same in Oz originally, all fuels were going to have 10% ethanol to make them "cheaper" (noting, that the loss in l/100 might be greater than the decrease in price). I guess they won that fight in Canadia
