You can get a 180kg deadlift in 1 month! doitfgt.jog

Wherever after a warmup, middle is fine...or can stick it at the end like I do. Doesn't have to be huge, just 10kg above your current max weight, so maybe one rep of 150kg. You'll clear it easy. Then try for 155kg or 160kg the week after. Shit will make your 140kg seem light as and once you're doing a 160kg single, you will be able to get about 7 of 140kg out.

Good work boz, now stick a big single in there somewhere to lift up the numbers

I love them but I've just developed a minor quad tear/strain from stretching the muscle too much...gotta be careful

Please don't do Knox For your own sake

Haters gonna hate, but Megane RS265 doing things for me

What did you think of the dubstep overlay? Fit fairly well I thought, though nothing particularly special...the violin track is obviously what makes it good.

I don't understand the segregation...we had girl targeted clubs and representation about 10 years ago, back when it served a purpose, because girls in car clubs were few and far between and probably weren't taken seriously as enthusiasts. But there are plenty on these forums and plenty within our paid clubs...I don't think many share the view these days that girls can't be car enthusiasts? Reminds me of the girls on COD who put [MISS] or [GIRL] in their clan tag. 10 years ago it might have made you unique or got you attention, or you could have been a guy pretending to be a girl...but the ubiquity is too high these days to make a point of it and expect people not to think you're just vying for attention.

Why don't you elaborate more on the project, then we could get an idea of what would be required from the lubricant? The fact it's not exposed to a large amount of heat or RPM may mean you could get away with a thinner oil and therefore less friction / more efficient rotation. You may not even have a need for a sump, but more details on the project would help with recommendations.

Yes I saw your post about Ishan. I got him to send me pics of it; looked like a good buy. If it included the forged internals he had at home, I would have bought it myself lol

Lunges are the worst torture known to man. I'm properly struggling to stand...squats never did this to me! They just have this ability to extend the set beyond physical pain and it becomes all about how much you can put up with mentally.

Just give mixed a go mate, you've nothing to lose...it will add another 40kg to your deadlift before you even need to worry about strengthening your grip

I disagree...switching to mixed allowed me to strengthen my overhand grip simply by being able to lift heavier weights and concentrating on the back lifting part of the movement instead of worrying about grip slipping.

Feels weird at first. But I promise you, once you see what it can do for you the first time, you will forever use it! Just try it on a light weight for your first time, so you can get used to lining up your arms in parallel. It's not uncommon to pull a muscle if your arms aren't both straight. Then when you're confident with the movement, start using it on max weights and watch as your grip issues fade away. Another technique for sweat in absence of chalk, is to use paper towels or even toilet paper from the bathroom, and line your hands with it during your grip. Will stop sweating and is much better than nothing, albeit still not as good as chalk.

Aren't you finding the limits already? If I can make a suggestion: do overhand first, as you're doing, then when that runs out of puff, switch to mixed grip and bust a few more reps out on 120. Can even change grips half way through the set. That way you're still training overhand to it's limits. Otherwise, your back isn't being worked hard enough if your grip is the first thing to fail

What grip are you using on deadlifts?

Leesh has plenty of testosterone and thankfully none of the hair

17 12 11 12 14 17th rep was a struggle. Last time I could do 17 of these, I weighed about 73kg. The first 7 or 8 feel like a piece of piss these days.

This is pretty much the reason why people quit gym before seeing success, as those who have been going long enough to get reward from it, know they have to keep it up, else lose those rewards. For those who haven't seen success, it starts off as a "think I can" and can all too quickly fall into a "I can't" if there is no reinforcement (I've always maintained that if you could give someone results straight away, they would never quit...hence I stress focus on strength goals to distract from the slow onset of physical changes). Yet even for those who have seen success, it's easy to fall into the trap of believing in your limitations, and so your accountability towards your goals takes a dive. Same goes for coaching; there's more accountability in it when you are lifting not just for yourself, but to meet the expectations of another. This is why I've seen more improvement than ever, since documenting my lifting on here: I have to lift the weight or people see that I'm all talk hahaha As for people who do incredible things, they are usually the ones who won't stop until they are satisfied, and for them, satisfaction is a dangling carrot that will never be caught, but must forever be chased after. You may never catch it, but you will end up miles away from mediocre.

Hahaha. Right now I'm confident I could get 200 up; I don't want to try it though, cause my form will be terrible. I'm currently fixing my form with more volume at lower weights for now, as my lower back was getting a bit sore with my "yanking" as Markos calls it. Also want my squats to catch up, because they are far behind my deads at the moment. But soon I'll return to the deadlift 1RMs and I'll definitely give 220 a crack! Tough ask for a tall skinny 80kg not going to PTC

I just use SAU lol I'm only training the major compounds these days. So I come on here, look what I previously did and try to better it.

All three

Impossibru!

Confession: I haven't ridden a push bike in 5 years... I'm worried that I might've forgotten how...
