Okay well tonight I hit 5x140kg on my max set after doing 8x130kg last week. Will do 140kg again next session and I hope to get 6 or 7 of them out.

My 1RM is 170kg, but I haven't attempted 1RM for a few weeks, so it should be a bit higher now that I'm approaching that figure with my working sets. I love how 1RM and working sets compliment each other on a back and forth!

My current goal is a 200kg deadlift @ 80kg, which I'll be very happy with.

Do ppp and you will be there in no time man.

200kg might not seem like anything in the powerlifting scheme of things, but it is definently a tidy 1rm for your average gym goer!

I haven't plateaued yet, so will just keep doing what I'm doing for now. Yeah man, a year ago I didn't think I'd ever lift close to what I'm doing now...stoked! Think I'll be very happy with 200.

Got out 140kg x 6 tonight...grip gave way on the 7th, just before lockout. Afterwards I couldn't open and close my hands, lol! 3 minutes later and I pulled 150kg x 3.

So...should try for 7 next week or crank the weight up and try for 150kg x 5? Be interesting to see how I do on that 1.5 x bw deadlift challenge now...might have to revisit it in a few weeks.

I sit there like a cripple with my hands all closed up for about a minute before they slowly start to open after deads.

Then another minute for the skin to kind of relax.

I reckon low reps and high weight work better for deadlifts.

I want my back and legs to be tired before my hands give way or before it becomes cardio (5 reps plus)

After doing deads in the 8-12 reps range for a while and then doing 5x5 and PPP for deads, I definently like the lower reps. Sets of 5 are probably what I like doing the most, but singles and triples aren't bad to mix it up.

Why not both?

90 x 10

110 x 10

140 x 7

155 x 4

Had no grip issues tonight, cooler weather = no sweat. Next sesh: 160 for reps.

I'm using chalk, whenever I can find it / steal it from the cross fit section at the gym. My grip is never an issue for 1RM attempts, it's the holding of the bar for extended periods of time that seems to do it.

I don't think I have the strength to lift 200 yet. I'd guess 180, maybe 185 based on my 1RM of 170 when I was doing 120 for 10 reps. I will start training the 1RM again soon, though. Took a bit of a break from it when I stretched a back muscle.

Funnily enough, the older ABC bars have better knurling than the new Ironedge bars we have :/

depends on if you are talking 1RM or reping sets and even then you can do sets of 1RM starting at 100% like below

1RM

3sets of 8 - 12 say 100kg

1 x 110kg

1x120kg

1x130kg

and so forth increasing until failure to see what your 1RM is. obviously you get tired but then you would start at say 80% of that 1RM next week

as for 7x2 i ment max weight that you could do for 7 sets would prob be 130kg instead of a 100kg for 3 sets of 8-12

      Yep, that was one of the things we learned fast in the past with our MX5. When you drive with the top down, you are effectively standing out in the sun, 100% of the time, and not getting in any shade (because roads aren't shaded generally!). Just like standing out in the middle of a field on a sunny 27C day is a bit of a bad plan, so is sitting in a MX5 without sun protection.

      I also just ordered some Frankenstein bolts and side mounts to fit a hard top Just in case I do find one, basically so it doesn't need to be fixed to the car with only the front latch.......and then gaffa tape to keep it in place for the RTN journey from wherever I get it

      If your temps are fine now, you probably won't have any issues with where your vents are as they don't look right up at the windscreens high pressure area, so any differences when giving it the beans for extended happy laps would be minimal, but, they should vent heaps when stuck in traffic  Much like how that reverse cowl on my SS let "visible" heat out when stationary, but, because it was basically at the windscreen my coolant temps on the Hwy actually raised because air was being fed into it at speed (110kph), to only come back down to around 90° when I got off the Hwy And your 100% correct about the NC currently not needing vents, but, if I was to add a turbo, and a oil cooler and intercooler in front of the condenserand radiator, and then take it to the track???? It is apparently a recommend requirement if I don't want to worry about coolant or oil temp issues, but, any of the above are possible scenarios, over time As it sits now, with the triple pass radiator and stock air conditioning system, I have absolutely no issues with either temps or air conditioning efficiency, I've been basically daily driving thie car for the last month, both on the Hwy, and peak hour, bumper to bumper traffic, but, that's pretty much expected from basically a standard engine  Talking about no issues daily driving, it was 39° the other day and I was sitting in bumper to bumper traffic on the M5 and then M7, with the top down, and with the air conditioning blowing nice cold air on my feet, balls, and face, well, there was one issue, my head and arms got pretty sun burnt Note to self: leave a hat and sunscreen in the car for such days 🤣

      I would agree, unless you need something specific to the HV motor/battery side repaired or investigated, any mechanic will be able to perform normal services, but if you prefer, maybe look for a mechanic who regularly services/repairs Nissans, the VQ engines are pretty common in the Nissan lineup.  Sorry, I can't make any suggestions, I don't live in Vic.

      Some of them keep working fine. 9 out of 10 of them end up causing an absolute misery bleeding the system and get thrown on the workshop floor in a tantrum and never thought about again because they were never really needed and just added crap to the car that we could have done without. Same-same with HICAS, A-LSD, and various other stupidities that over eager 10x engineers thought we had to have.
