60kg x 10

75kg x 10

90kg x 8

100kg x 3

105kg x 1 (died on second rep; thank you safety bars)

On Monday

60kg x 10

75kg x 10

90kg x 7

100kg x 2

105kg x 1

Was down a rep on a couple sets, which sucked a bit. I put it down to a stomach/gastric ulcer making me sick in the days leading up, a lack of sleep (TTT aware) and a week since I last squatted. Hoping to push through these (and last week's) numbers on Friday for more squat progress. Maybe try for a 110.

Also taught Leesh how to squat with a barbell in a squat rack and take a "fall" using the safety bars. She had really good form; was ass-to-grounding 40kg for reps on her first (and hopefully not last) day of doing squats. Also taught her deadlifting from scratch, which was also very good form and we made it to 50kg for reps before her form started slacking off. Might have to start a build diary for your compound movements, Leesh :)

you can do a build diary for me, since you have more spare time than I do

60kg x 10

75kg x 10

90kg x 9

100kg x 2 (failed on 3rd rep)

105kg x 1 (failed on 2nd rep)

So I didn't get to try my 110 1RM, but I did hit 9 reps on 90kg which is the most I've done on that and a definite step in the right direction, up from 7. Just a shame it taxed me for the 100, as I was hoping for 3-4 reps there. Will give 110kg a go on Monday!

Might well do mate...my squats are certainly my weakest exercise and they're all I can do while my shoulder is out. I miss deadlifts more than anything.

Squat 1RM would be a fair bit higher if I didn't burn myself out on the warm ups and working sets...but I do love my high reps :)

Also love how much this exercise helps me in basketball...my vertical leap is a bit higher than my team mates who have been playing the sport for years (it's my first year). I'm also the only one who can go a full game without subbing off.

no way! you'd have to be doing cardio for that to happen!!! right? and those muscles you're making surely slows you down....

Haha :)

Well I do a bit of HIIT cardio, which I'm sure helps with my heart and lungs, but yes, everyone can benefit from the explosive strength building of squats! Particularly sports with fast short sprints. I'm always first to the defensive key when the ball changes hands.

I think the muscle slowing you down argument is completely lost in professional sports where athletes are regularly over 100kg lean! I can only think of a few where the extra muscle wouldn't be of benefit or might hinder performance.

Got a bit worried on the 90, being down a rep from Friday. Felt good about the 100 x 3 though, so I shot for 110kg and there it is. Will try and get 2 of them next time or shoot for 115.

Was working in with a gym mate...I use the term loosely...this guy is such a bullshit artist. Nightclub promoter (nuff said) and always talking himself up in every conversation.

Him: what weight is that?

Me: 110kg, do you think I can do it?

Him: yeah easy, I've done 120kg before. Actually 130kg!

Me: what, ass to ground?

Him: yeah ass to the floor man!

So I do my 110kg 1RM ass to ground. I then say leave you to it mate. I head over to leg press and look back, then see the guy struggling with 80kg shallow as f**k half squats...he got out maybe 4 reps. I lol'd. Should have demanded he do the 130kg and watched him injure himself.

the story of commercial gyms everywhere... I can't hate too badly, I used to do half squats lol

3 sets of 190kg x 3 yesterday... wasn't feeling it, they were slow grinds... hips and low back very stiff, getting good depth was difficult and painful.... pretty beaten up at the moment... but I haven't missed a rep this training cycle and I don't plan on it anytime soon

200kg x 3 next week... need to eat better and get more sleep... better bring my strong

To clarify, I have nothing against half squats (though I do nazi my friends into doing ATG)! I used to do to parallel myself and have nearly caught up to my old parallel squat weight/reps. I just can't stand some fool saying he can ATG a certain weight, when I doubt he could even half squat it...and we all know depth makes a huge difference to how much you can squat!

First time I did an ATG, I was doing less than half my parallel weight and it was killing me haha

    • Update all   thanks to the workshop manual, it lead me back to checking fuses as mentioned central locking and door open lights worked when acc was switched on. diagram attached shows two points of power 1. ACC and 2.  Batt with the later being fused (#28) I did check the fuses using a multimeter but I must have stuffed that up also. Went back and checked the batt fuse in interior fuse box and you wouldn’t believe it… a blown fuse. replaced fuse and everything is now working as it should including the climate control   thank you all with your positive insight and knowledge.    
    • Where is the warning "That this thread is super old"   I just went into a 5 year old thread, went to do a reply, and couldn't see anywhere obvious a warning of it being super old
    • Duncan is correct. Pitwork (and Toyota's own cheap brand "Drive Joy") were primarily created as brands to sell other manufacturers car parts. It would be weird if Nissan sold parts for Toyota vehicles with a Nissan logo on it, so they created Pitwork to sell parts for other brans Toyota, Honda etc. They are not the same as Nissan genuine parts, although they *do* meet Nissan's standards for replacement parts. They aren't supposed to be a substitute for genuine parts, but a cheaper alternative that is better than Ebay fake parts from you-know-where.
    • Thanks GTSBoy, much easier to work with it now it's free!  
    • I _think_ that one has a christmas tree or some other retainer spike into a hole in that panel under it. Come in under it with thin scredrivers and just pry it gently up. If you rip the ears off the retainer pin....so what? Just stick it back down after with a bit of race tape and carry on with life.
