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.

    • Convert to dual filament bulb   FWIW, it will look odd - I dare say a bit dumb as it looks like your flasher relay has shit the bed.
    • If the RB20 box in the car is a push clutch, then yes, you will need to deal with the pull clutch on the turbo box. You either buy a pull clutch and don't use the old one, or you do the things needed to convert the turbo box's clutch arrangement over to push. Which is a bit of a f**karound. "Making" a custom tailshaft is the easy part. But you will need to source the front clip yoke - the bit that goes into the output of the gearbox. These are not as easy to find. They are out there, but they don't grow on trees the way that they used to.
    • Indicator bulbs are way too bright to use as a "corner marker" (we call them parking lights too). Sure. Go ahead and do it. But realise that you wil need to come up with all your own wiring to do it, as no-one will have a standard howto worked out for Skylines. It's just a matter of abandoning everything that Nissan have done and starting from scratch. You'd probably be better off retrofitting tailght/brakelight globe bases into the front indicator housings and using the taillight circuit for your corner marker and the brake light as the indicator. You'd need to work out how to kill the marker circuit while the indicator is flashing, otherwise it won't flash on-off, just bright-less bright.
    • Hi. A little bit of an update. It maybe(hope not) looks like i would need a new tranny(it would be "maybe" a cheaper or better option anyway) So i need some info. I know i need a different propshaft(i can make custom one) LSD is not a problem cuz the engine will be still(for now) N/A RB20. So if i buy RB25DET NEO tranny...is there something else i need? I read something about push/pull type but i do not know if i need to "change" something or i can just plug n play onto my engine a go? Thanks for the advice  
    • Good morning all, Bit of a random question but figured I’d finally throw it out after wondering for a long while. Before I start, I'm hoping to do this purely out of personal preference. I think it would look better at night, and don't mind at all spending a few hours and dollars to get it done. I've copied this from a non-Skyline specific forum, so I apologize for the explanation of our headlight switch setup that we all know. Here we go: Zero lights (switch off) Parking lights (switch position 1) being a rectangular marker on the outside of the housing, my low beam being the projector in the centre (position 2), and a high beam triggered by my turn signal stalk. Most North American cars I’ve owned of this era have power to the amber corner (turning indicator) light as part of the first switch (parking lights). I’d love to have these amber corners receive power when the headlights and parking lights are on (headlight switch), yet still blink when using the turn signal which is of course a separate switch. Hopefully I’ve explained my question correctly. Is anyone aware of a way in which I might be able to achieve this? Thanks in advance
