Knew someone would be a smart-ass!

Physio told me I have bicep tendonitis... spewing. So its a few weeks to a month of legs and squats.

Any upper body recommendations that are not going to make it worse while it recovers?

Get into a solid fapping routine. 3 sets of 100 reps per arm.

What do you guys think about home made weight plates ?

I am thinking of designing some in solidworks at work and then getting them lasercut to spec.

Ideas ? Interest ?

Also considering designing my own squat rack and cutting it here.

Sounds like you'll still be able to do pushing movements so triceps, chest, shoulders should all be fine to work.

If you can get them to be the correct weight (like within a gram of each other) then it should be fine.. but also consider that buying brand new rubber coated plates which have handles built in and are the correct diameter and cost about $3 a kilo or less delivered, you'd better be making a decent saving.

As for the rack, I can find you detailed plans of a power cage if you would like.

Any idea of root cause?

My knee tendonitis is actually a combination of hamstring tightness and glute tightness, and maybe the quads are involved too. Either way, if i stop stretching / rolling for any reasonable period of time even without weights I start getting knee problems.

The physio's gave me some excercises but they never helped, it took a long time to find the cause.

Yes Please !

the weight of the barbells would be pretty close, probably not to the gram though. however I know I could make them for a lot less than $3.00 per kilo.

are you looking at making barbells or plates?

as for plans..

I'm sure that has all the info you need.

in the end it will look like this.

Wear em loud and proud eh?

Nah, I hate that carpet burnish feeling I get from scraping the bar up against my shin. I still get it a bit in trackies, but it's not as bad. Hopefully my shin skin will start getting thicker soon.

Are people doing deadlifts on leg day or back day?

I always seem to do them on back day purely because I like to squat on leg day and I wouldn't be able to get the most out of it if I did them on the same day. I do Bulgarian/straight leg deadlifts on leg day instead which seem to be ok even after squatting.

Are you guys more oriented toward the powerlifting side of training?

I just find I struggle to get decent weight up on deadlifts after doing 4x10 of squats. Doing them on my back day seems to work better for me I think. It allows me to give them my all rather than half assing them because I'm already spent.

I was just interested to hear other people's thoughts on how you work them both into your training...

Having watched some tutorial/classroom style videos from Mark Rippetoe over the last week, I'm convinced that deadlifts are primarily a back exercise (while they do hammer glutes and hammies something nasty though)

    • You've just discovered a really good reason to tell yourself, yes, I do need to buy an aftermarket ECU. Put the MAF in the bin. Slap in the new ECU and have a think about what turbo sounds you prefer.  Do you want a 90's style BOV wooosh? Do you want a hektik tsututututu?  Mate, can't go wrong. Just gotta get that ECU and the world is your oyster. 
    • Hi. Iam just curisou about this topic. I saw this video. It is about Greddy Type FV2. I know that BoVs are about that sound but how and when to use it? I read some topic here and from what i have understand on stock RB with MAF there will be some "problems" if you use this BoV? It vents the air in to the atmosphere and the MAF on stock car needs this air back in to the intake and not out? Or is it wrong? If so...i saw you can put some adaptor to circule air back...but does that not "loose" that sound? I saw another BoV from Turbosmart and it has two "exhaust" like ports? One is for the stock tubing for letting air back and one is for "sound" and let the air in the atmosphere? Can someone please explain? This is the Greddy one:  And this is the Turbosmart.     THANK YOU!! EDIT: So i read about this topic some more and i if i understand that correctly: That Greddy can function either like BoV or 100% Bypass valve? And that Turbosmart is what they called hybrid so you can adjust what and how many air can be vented out or back in? Is this right? THX!
    • That dirty voltage drop is the culprit I suspect 
    • i cant get them all in 1 screenshot unfortunately as i just dont know how to move things around tbh, but they are all from the same log and the line crosses at the same point for all of them
    • It's about time I start work on my sun tan. So I knocked up a few parts that will all combine together to become my new power steering reservoir. Now just to produce an abundance of UV and IR rays while melting a heap of bits of alu to become one... Well, that's after I put one more hole in it for the return line to plumb to. It likely won't be this weekend, as Sunday I'm meant to be in doing some last minute stuff to the AMG race car, and the weekend after will be filled with non my Skyline stuff, followed by Bathurst 6 hour. So I don't expect to get to melt metal for at least 3 weeks.   I also managed to stuff up and start cutting the hole for the res to pump pipe on the wrong side of the line... It means instead of the lines being nice and tight against the inner guard, they'll be out off the guard.    The size of it means I should end up with about 1.8L of power steering fluid, and still have space for another half a litre before it reaches the overflow/breather. This is wayyyyyyy more capacity than factory, which should help keep Powersteer oil temps lower, and the design hopefully allows it to prevent any aerated oil being able to makes its way down to the bottom as it'll have a couple of baffles and some hopeful trickery to force air bubbles away from the bottom.
