60kg x 137... get faaarked! lol

I do 20 rep squats every now and then for a finisher... but I usually do them with 90-100kg and that's more than enough for me... I can run a whole basketball game without subbing too so I'm not what you'd call out of shape

try mixed, its the business for deads IMO.

Have tried, not a fan. Whenever I've had grip issues they eventually resolve through conditioning or by stepping up the weight. Not an issue for me now that I'm doing off the grounds!

In what way are you finding it harder? Energy? Time? Cardio? My workout is pretty volume oriented - I'd wager that someone with slightly stronger 1RMs would have a hard time getting through it...not that their workout would be a breeze for me either. My point is, there are a thousand different ways to workout and if you haven't trained for it, it's always going to be challenging!

As for deadlifts...I started off doing SLDLs and got up to around 110-120kg x 10 on that...but recently swapped them out for regular deadlifts, and am finding the opposite to you - 90kg x 10 is comfortable, because the muscles I wasn't using for SLDL obviously have some catching up to do. That and regular deadlifts give me headspins by the 10th rep lol.

Conversely, I would say SLDL requiring more back work and a greater range of motion for that muscle group = less weight than normal deadlifts for you.

How much you wanna wager, I'll bring down 3 guys that total 575kg - 650kg for you to take on, any workout, any exercise, any reps, you choose, make it worth their while though big fella

Mate you gotta stop taking what I say out of context - I said slightly higher 1RMs. Give me 1/3 of my 1RMs and I'll give you 137 reps too.

    • Corvette thread then? Don't say I didn't predict the future again. "I love the little MX5, I do, but I just want something a little easier to get in/out of, a little more cushy and some power would be nice - I miss the V8 Rumble... I found this clean red C5 for sale recently and..." Please just buy my car. You can fit people in it too.
    • What about renewable diesel and/or gasoline? I see some projects spinning up like de-oxygenating ethanol to make drop-in compatible bio-gasoline especially in CA. I still think the future is EVs and we should've all gone full throttle on nuclear power after the 1973 oil crisis like France. Despite 15 years of work in CA to reduce the CO2 intensity of generation with renewables our electric grid is still far worse than even "low carbon" nuclear power. ICE is pretty cool when you aren't depending on the stupid thing to be practical and reliable and cheap as possible to get you to work every day. It's kind of like mechanical watches or vacuum tube amps.
    • I just rolled over "my" first 10k km in the MX5 Every time I go anywhere it always ends up in a adventure to look at houses and find some random country roads I've been on leave since early November but unfortunately need to go back to work on 19 January Luckily though I still have a fair chunk of leave left to burn until.... Not that I'm counting 😁
