Thanks leesh, hip is a little better so squat is a bit easier now

Birds, I only look in the mirror at the top or bottom of the rep, but yeah you've got a point.

I workout by myself and generally try to time my sessions so the gym is fairly empty so it will be a little difficult getting a video.

I feel fine during the rep and my movement is strict, no jerking and such, pretty sure I'm just being paranoid because that was the first time anybody has ever said anything to me about form

  • 4 weeks later...

Went to the gym yesterday after a couple weeks off, shit session and had to drop the weights back a bit.

Not surprised though considering that I have done absolutely no exercise other than a couple light jogs for the last couple weeks.

My eating and sleeping habits have been shit too.

Pretty disappointing session, but better than sitting around doing nothing

Squat: 1x10 bar

1x8 @40

3x5 @60

Pullups 5 + 5 negs

Row: 1x10 bar

3x5 @40

Dips: 3,5,5 First time I've done these in probably a year, shoulder felt fine which was surprising.

A good stretch after a workout helps me avoid doms, that and a protein shake straight away with some creatine in it.

My interest in supps is purely recovery and they work for me in that regard.

Thanks, I definitely need to put in more effort I think.

Today is just active recovery, I get really bad doms after having even a short break

I'd like to share something that may prove helpfull . Doms is a normal part of life.It's different to injuries or mobility issues, which deserve some attention. Make it irrelevant to your training. Don't give it any thought, it doesn't deserve it. Accept it an move on. Paying attention to it holds you back and you may find excuses not to train or lose motivation.

Don't try to avoid doms it's a waste of time. Just train correctly and accept it may or may not occur.

In the past I would sometimes not get doms and then sometimes I'd get doms along with pain that seemed like severe tendonitis , I held to instruction and trained anyway. I learnt it's nothing to worry about.

Hopefully that helps.

Dan: I usually stretch and foam roll after a workout. I don't take any supplements, nothing against them, just a personal preference

Thanks rev, I know doms is nothing to worry about haha it was more of an off hand remark so I wasn't just posting one sentence. I definitely know the difference between doms and actual injury pain haha

I'm still doing what I had planned for today, which is a jog, some body weight exercises on whatever I find depending where I end up (park, gym, etc), stretches and mobility work.

My diet isn't great, but it's not too bad I guess. Could definitely be improved.

27/10/2013

Squat: 1x8 Bar

1x8 @50

3x5 @70

Row: 1x8 @40

3x5 @50

Deadlift: 1x8 @80

1x5 @100

1x5 @110

Dips: 3x5 A little improvement here, no where near what I used to do though

Nice DL'ing and good job on the MP.

MP is a tough motion when you're getting back into it. I managed to strain a shoulder at 30kg when I started out doing it.

Take it slow and steady, Rev can also comment on some excellent assistance exercises to make sure the shoulders are healthy. His suggestions helped me fix my strain.

Thanks dan, surprisingly Mp doesn't aggravate my shoulder like other pressing does.

I think its getting better because I had to stop dips all together and now I can do them without pain, whereas before I couldn't even hold my weight on the bars without pain.

I've got no doubt my numbers will go up once I become more consistent, been missing lots of sessions due to a few reasons.

    • Nope.    Grab a varex and turn it down as you get close to home, win win? 
    • So, I've had my V36 for about a month now and have already copped an "excessive exhaust noise" notification from QLD TMR, reported by someone in my local area. It's a twin as per the original, and can have a bit of a throaty note to it when idling cold 😄 and if I do get up it a bit, it can be noisy, but it did pass a roadworthy inspection before sale, so.... ... but in the interest of being a good neighbour, I do want to quieten it down a bit. Is anyone here running a quiet aftermarket cat-back on their V36 or 370Z? And the big, bold question: does an aftermarket cat-back really make much of a performance difference on these cars?
    • The wiring diagram for the R33 RB25 is freely available, and is essentially the same same as most other RBs (just with differences as to which pin # does which job). To get the ECU to power up, you just need to provide power to the ECCS relay, and have the other power feeds that come in from the top left of the wiring diagram (wrt the ECU) that give perma power to the fuel pump relay, the ECU itself, etc etc, all connected. When you put power on all these it will just come to life. It's pretty clear from the diagram what needs to happen. Just follow the lines from the 12V + supply stuff in the top left over towards the ECU. I've even posted snips of such diagrams (not for vanilla 25, I think for Neo and 26) to various threads here in the last few months, talking about what it takes to get the fuel pump and FPCM up and going. Search these up and they will help get you started on doing the same with the vanilla 25 diagram. Hell, for all I know, I've done the same with that one in years past and have forgotten.
    • Yep...so unless someone posts up the answer you will need to probe from the ECU connector to the dash plug with a multi meter in continuity mode to trace the wires.  Note the ECU has multiple - and + (and across different key settings - Battery, IGN and Start) and most likely the power is fed from the connector(s) that is normally near the left hand headlight.
    • Thanks Duncan, I am actually just trying to get the Rb turning and running with the RB25DET S2 original loom itself  I am just trying to get it going outside the body and not thinking about the S15 or trying to match anything to the S15 loom at all I am only trying to see if anyone has done this and what pin they found to be the ignition trigger and ECU+/- on the dash connector, that's about it. Thanks
