hey Leesh do you have flat feet and or "duck feet"?

flat feet:

I couldnt find a picture of duck feet in humans but its whenn you walk, your feet point outwards.

I have both, both are being fixed but I bring it up because there are issues with my squat from them, one issue i have is knees bending inwards like you are describing

I have no idea about my feet? I might go to athletes foot and get them to use that machine on my feet.

I did 100kg last session too! However last session I only did 1 of 90 and none of 80kg. It's the other sets that have jumped up

Shall I try 105kg next session?

I'd stick with where you are now until you can manage 2 or 3 reps of 100 :) Even if it means resting for like 10 seconds between reps, just don't let go of the bar. Either way, congratulations on 100kg Lessh! It's pretty damn awesome ;)

i agree with troy.

focus on getting 100kg to 5 reps then treat yourself to a milkshake (or something else that you enjoy) as a sneaky reward

As you get stronger the sets before your heavy will increase because you aren't as tired as you are when you build up to that 100kg dead. This has been the basis of Rev's argument with Bird's about the best way to get stronger and how volume before strength isnt as productive (i guess had a mind blank for the word i was looking for) as straight out strength training.

Nothing to be upset about its natural. I say have a longer rest between your heavy sets and push that extra rep out

Training tonight was a waste of a time. I'm so sore the day after deadlifts I can't do shoulder press at all and lat pulldown and seated row well below par. I really don't know how to do my days. If I do Thursdays session on Friday then I'm still going to have an issue doing squats on the Saturday. I can't train the day after deadlifts so I don't know how to do it :(

Here's a scenario.

1 warmup set of a poofteenth of nothing (dynamic stretch) then 2 sets of 95kg . big fat rest in-between sets . How long? Wait till your pulse returns to resting. Whatever reps you get. Should be in the 3-5s but go to failure. No max rep stuff every workout,

Up your weight in a week by 10kg - (try 105kg for 3-5 in the first set, if under 3 reps then go 100kg for second set) do the same thing. See what happens.

And so on. reps in the 3-5's , under 3 drop weight (no loss if you do 2 still will do the job) , over 5 up weight

eg; get to 6 reps and increase kg to drop to 3 reps.

No more 1rm till christmas. See if you can unwrap 140kg as a PB.

Re: Rev's post.

Leesh he's basically saying do a few low weight warmup reps then get right into the meat of it and start pushing the weight up rather than doing eleventy billion reps at weight you have mastered at the expense of being able to push your max anywhere because you've already wasted so much power earlier in the set.

I realise this goes against Bird's volume training methodology, but you're a big girl and if you want to try something new, go ahead and do it.

I mix it up from time to time and sometimes a change is as good as a holiday.

    • Hey all, not sure how active SAU is anymore but will ask away anyways. Just wanted to get some experience on the 2008 model GTR CBA model.  I've hit that age in my life (43) where I'm like fk it time to get my dream (midlife crisis) car. Looking at importing one in and seeing if these can be reliable if the main flaws are fixed up. Plan is to keep money aside to do the following straight off the bat to future proof it: * install a stage 1 rebuilt trans with all new bits and pieces.  * install a new Bellhousing from the later model GTRs. Or potentially an upgraded stronger version like MAD or ATR. Besides the above two things and typical maintenance items anything else you'd recommend doing.   Been speaking to a few people and the engine on these are very reliable apparently. But keen on the view of the community here. Hoping to find a nice grade 4.5 with low mileage in Grey. I'd go black but swirls too easy. Look forward to your responses and feedback. Cheers    
    • Do Alan and Keith work on Skylines now? I remember buying stuff from them when I owned my Ralliart Lancer a few moons ago. Definitely genuine guys and be excellent if they dealt with the skyline platform as well.
    • Hey all, I'm Gaston from Sydney's West.  I was a member on here when I was a younger lad and owned a mint R33 GTS-T. Ended up selling it and getting married having kids (yadda yadda) we all know how the story goes. Now I'm back with the intention to get my midlife crisis (dream) car ... a R35 GTR.  You'll see me about asking questions and searching the forums. Good to be back and can't wait to get back an Import again.
    • I have to put something here in order to post the photos. From what I could gather there's more enthusiasm for modified cars now than there has been for years. There were probably more younger people there than older (me included lol) which was a good sign.  It did seem like the record least amount of representation of the 90's era hero cars on display though. Like maybe one or two examples of S-chassis Nissans, and maybe 3 or 4 R-chassis. By comparison there were a lot of Civics from that era but in all there were about 10 - 12 EG/EK Civic Type R.  Euro exotics are always there in large numbers, led by Liberty Walk...... say what you will about kids using markers to scribble on a Ferrari F40, it did seem like a stunt to infuriate Ferrari enthusiasts, or Ferrari itself. I wonder if there's something more to it. Either way LBWK have done some heinous things to a Lamborghini Miura this time. They should stop now.
    • Engines and drivelines are not war stoppers for me mate, busted arse bodies and un-obtainium parts and panels are though Both cheap Brumbies I looked at had trashed tubs and a fair bit of rust
