Was an ugly rep, but I locked out 192.5kg for a new pb. Still 80kg, still 6'3 :P

Have another two reps left in the 160, so I might try adding them next time and see if I can make the 1RM again.

Steady improvement Birds, knocking on the door of 200kg

Training for GPC States my deadlift has been good. Hit a couple of PBs

regular DL 210kg x 5

deficit DL 220kg x 3

Should pull 260+ at States if I can keep my back in one piece

A 260+ pull is awesome!

I tried block pulls off 6cm blocks the other day. I can deadlift more normally then from blocks but that doesn't surprise me really. I think ill keep doing them and see if they help overall

Thanks fellas. John you should definitely start 1RMing again; they do so much for volume weights and reps!

Awesome pulls there Nick. What weight class do you plan to be in for states?

I spoke too soon... hurt my back again! That said it's healing really quickly this time so I'll just have a couple of weeks off squatting/deadlifting and then should be back into it fingers crossed

hopefully I can make states... I'll do a little weight cut to get under 90kg birds... but if back still no good I'll do bench only in the 100s

going to switch to sumo so prob won't be pulling too heavy until I get technique/mobility down

Prolapsed disk between L5-S1. No MRI to confirm but pretty sure that's the diagnosis. It's settling really quick this time though so if it keeps improving I should be back to training soon. Was hoping to squat 250 at states so that might not happen but Nats is the goal this year.

I overhead pressed today without any pain. Not heavy though.

Same injury as last time then?

Who do you/PTC use for physiotherapy and diagnosing this kind of stuff? Feel free to PM; wouldn't mind knowing a physio who understands and deals with powerlifters and the related injuries, as these are the movements I engage in nowadays. I'm also sick of explaining to physios what a barbell squat is, only to have them explain back to me the function of the shoulders during the supposed overhead shoulder pressing motion that occurs during a squat...

Yep just a flare up.

Yes I used Jason Mawby Chiropractor last time. He is a Powerlifter but he's in Rosebud. I can't get down there so have been going to my old Osteo at the MOSIP clinic in Caulfield. Also very good, not lifters but definitely know what a squat is.

Have pulled back on 1RM training for the time being, to focus on getting my volume up. 165kg for 5 is a new pb in that department. Will try for 6 next time, or up the weight to 167.5kg.

Once volume comes up to, say...180kg for 5...I'll head back to 1RM and try passing 200kg.

New 5 rep pb. Forgot to put some weights on one end when I first lifted it. Really fked me for the actual set, but still got it out. Made the 185kg reps really farkin tough, though.

Hoping to go 170kg for 5 next time.

    • Welcome.  Glad to hear that you have gained some knowledge that has helped you. I believe the only fix for the power steer belt is an electric conversion with a Holden astra pump. If you get a chance, post pics of your car, please. 🙂
    • Just ordered those bosses, hopefully that does the trick thank you very much everyone for your replies it's really appreciated  
    • to have this type of adjustment possible with a curve as I wish, what budget (engine) should be planned?  
    • People still have Skylines? I thought they're non-existent now. 
    • Harness update time have had great fun and learnt so much already so far with this project. I started off making both the ignition and injector sub harnesses in the hope any mistakes i made here aren't as hard to undo and learn from as the main harness.  A cool comparison of the old harness using presumably TXL wire and the new which is using Tezel. Also opted to use DTM plugs to keep the whole setup as neat and tidy as possible and tucked the wiring under the coil bracket to try and keep it all from sticking out too much. Although the injector harness, I'm not overly happy with as I'm still using the rubber boots that are supplied with the type of plugs it just looks ugly and sticks out like a sore thumb with the white identifiers so a slight redesign may be done.   Then it was main harness time and most importantly trying to route it nice and away from the heat it will use the OEM heater hose routing which is no longer present to keep the harness up high and secure. it's amazing how much smaller this harness is able to be compared to the old one. plugged everything into the emtron and with the help of the tuner again attempted to start it up and instantly fired up and running smoothly on all 6 which was a big shock to myself. So still some routing and adjusting to be done for the final fit up and installing a knock sensor harness plug which is in the post all has gone surprisingly well.     The old harness for shits and giggles.
