Have you tried stretching or using a really light weight at the end of your sets to try and push lower? I've always had good hip flexibility despite my long legs. My hamstrings are pretty poor though.

Next session go

bar x 10

40 x 8

60 x 5

80 x 3

100 x 1

then go 115 and 120

stop doing a million reps before your 1rms

Why you gotta hate on my gazillion reps? I love the volume stuff.

I know that's the best thing to do to increase 1RM, i.e. cut down on my volume...so I'll probably turn to it when I start plateauing bad with the current setup. But for now I enjoy sticking the 1RM after a heap of working sets. Because Birds

Yeah I gave up reading after the first two comments. The chosen answer supposedly a trainer for an international weightlifting association? Err...

There's misinformation and then there's MISSINGinformation!

do your volume after you go heavy, not before... just do enough to warm up, hit a pb, then do a heap of volume work

^^ This.

You're not going to find your 1rm doing it your way.

You're only going to find your exhausted 1rm.

Do it like I said, then once you fail a 1rm, have a 5 minute rest, then load up your volume sets and go for broke back mountain

60kg x 10

75kg x 10

90kg x 8

100kg x 3

110kg x 1

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.

60kg x 10

75kg x 10

90kg x 8

100kg x 3 (died half way up on 4th rep)

115kg x 0 (died half way up)

Didn't make the 115 tonight; back just didn't want to work with me after the fail on the 100s. Next time maybe!

Was sick with a cold this week, debating whether to come. No one ever got anywhere by being home with a cold, so here I am.

Feel like I'm leaning forward too far on the heavier weights and the motion is turning into a bit of a good morning, as my back is giving way before my legs are. Seems to be consequential of trying to squat all the way to my ankles in oly stance; need to sit back on my heels more and keep the hips from coming up before my back. Hoping to post better results next sesh.

    • If that's the wiring from the factory, I'd be inspecting the loom everywhere.   Any signs of that anywhere else, and seriously, I'd get rid of the car ASAP before the electrical gremlins make it worthless, or it goes up in flames on its own. That is scary how that insulation is failing!
    • I should note too as I have all 4 wheel speed inputs to the emtron I now have the emtron controlling the attessa solenoid for 4wd/traction and launch control strategies. 
    • It works quite well with the adjustibility within each of the programs of the turbolamik. Essentially p1 is drive and lockup comes on like a normal driver.  But in program 7 I have customised it to not request the lockup clutch to engage until something like 6500/7 when slip was the lowest. 
    • Yep, I like that. The tags are only on the first post of a thread and we don't get huge numbers of new threads. Also, I plan to add some more report types and we could have a member report type like 'review tags' then members could flag if they thought a topic wasn't tagged correctly.  No way man, I dig the input. Thanks! 
    • It's a valid thought. There's not exactly that functionality already (when creating a thread) - that's where the OP can use/create any tag they want. We'd have to come up with a way for the user to request their tags get reviewed or something. Otherwise the mods would have to review every new post's tags (for those that have them, anyway). There's kind of that functionality already exists to some extent, post facto of starting the thread, where the OP or any other user could report the post to admins, and request that tags get reviewed. We could do this already, and any user could already have made such a request. To make it a part of the forum proper, it would require an initial and an ongoing education programme, so that people know that it's a thing. OP based tagging/request for review would also require at least some (probably most) of the user base to be told that it's a thing they can do. Both of these things probably wouldn't spread too far and/or get used very much. If it was the standard approach on a lot of different sites, then it might do, because people would be used to it. Prank's approach to this differs from my original thought, by leaning into tagging. Which is fine - it's possibly better than what I originally suggested. In fact, I just went to the R32 GTR wiring diagram thread and added tags, including "Library". That's probably a good way to use tags and the idea of a library. We just have to drag together an (organised!) index of threads or posts that have that tag. I have yet to do any of my own follow up by pursuing worthy threads and posts and reporting/marking/tagging them for the library, such as the @Sydneykid stuff I was talking about, and possibly any amount of @Lithium 's and others' posts. At least if I tag them Library, we'll have a start.   Back to @Wazmond's idea as it relates to @PranK's, we might have some sort of a list of tags that are already used to scrape for this library. I'm not entirely sure how that would be presented or used, particularly if it got long. But it's yet another idea!   cheers
