been getting back into the gym and by far my favourite exercise is deadlifts

Last workout yielded:

6 x 100kg

6x 100kg

6 x 105kg

6 x 105kg

body weight is 105, so im happy after 2 months back at the gym that ive gone from nothing to being able to lift my own weight

one quick question, is there any advantage at all to putting a 1RM set in there, or is it just so you know how much you can actually lift?

depends on your purpose or goal for training. You don't necessarily need to do 1RM at all, as part of training.

Working in a lower volume range is arguably better for this kind of lift.

by lower volume i assume you mean sets with lower rep counts?

so id be better for aiming for say sets of 4-6?

Have a look at my posts in this thread from start to finish (it's not that long)...you'll see a gradual pattern of stepping up weight, both in volume and single rep training. You don't have to do as many reps as I do, as the exercise does favour low reps and I love my volume, but you'll see that what makes a difference over time is stepping up the weight as often as you can. Singles are good for this, because you're adding a minuscule amount of weight to them every session, so you barely notice the difference, but over time it adds up.

Obviously look after your technique first and foremost, but don't be afraid to put that weight up. As Markos says, people major in the minor shit too much. Rep ranges have their place, but your focus should be on trying to get the weight up. If you can't do that, then do more sets and reps.

yeah i make sure that im not on the same weight for more than 3 sessions, and i havent hit any kind of plateau yet.

generally i aim for a min of 6 and a max of 10, when i get to 10 i bump the weight up, thinking i might back that down to 4 and 8

been helping train a mate with deads and a few other things (too slack to bother lifting myself, just doing token demos). 3 weeks 3 training sessions. His weight 78kg. Height 6ft 2 . 40 years old, Skinny -fat dude. No weight training experience. Nothing special.

Starting deadlift weight 60kg . Did 140kg tonight.

That's good! He skinny! well done to him :)

When I was talking to this dude at my gym 2 weeks ago he was dead lifting 260kg and did 300kg tonight, pretty impressive jump IMO

    • From the pictures I have when doing the job the flywheel is the same diameter, I don't think they're playing weird tricks like putting weights at the outer diameter to increase flywheel inertia or anything like that. The OEM flywheel is definitely heavier, but it's not a huge difference. Quoted weight savings of the clutch is 2 kg so I can't imagine the flywheel being lighter than ~7 kg. Kind of regret not weighing it before the clutch went into the car but as far as driveability goes I have no complaints.
    • HKS trigger kit should be very easy to integrate with a Link. It's a 36-2 crank trigger. Hard part is finding the motivation to take off the timing belt and everything on the front of the engine to install it. You also need to cut out a hole in the oil pump housing so the sensor can read the trigger wheel. Changing out the cam sensor for a 24 tooth setup is probably good enough but as others have mentioned depending on what underlying assumptions are changed it becomes more of a problem. Reading the crank state off of the cam is an abstraction that works in the general case, but if you have an edge case it makes less and less sense. There is a GTX2860 gen 2 that can take a compact 5 bolt housing so it's direct bolt on but I'm not 100% sure of what's involved. Peak compressor efficiency drops off a bit on these turbos vs -5s, 77% vs 73% but you get way, way wider region of operation. The -5s have a really strange surge line in their compressor map that is all over the place. If you think the hot side on the -5s aren't open enough you can try the Tomei T550B turbos which a local tuner seems to be happy with:
