So started doing deadlifts, found the 60kg and 70kg really hard. After the 5th rep of 80kg my ribs and back started really hurting. My ribs then really started hurting and I couldn't breathe. I lay down in the change rooms and now I'm waiting for my friend to come get me :(

Why the hell would this happen? It's like something is strangling my ribs. I'm in a lot of pain but I can't see that I've pulled anything out of place.

Well sounds like something is strained/out.

You've either been repeatedly straining something and it's given up, or your form was off last night and you've loaded up badly.

Either way, how are you feeling today? You might have to take a break from DL.

Yeah I'm thinking my form still needs work. I dunno what else I can do though. I even have little notes next to me, and I know how to do the setup, chest out, shoulders back, hips back then stand up with the bar close to you but I still think my back is rounding and I still get people telling me that at the gym.

Feel much better today, just a little tight around the ribs like when I breathe in and out deeply, but nothing like last night!

My possible thoughts are I'm too tired to train... been getting 2/3 hrs a night every night this week, or I'm working my core too much with my extra crunches and increased reps on captains chair. Will cut out the crunches and see how I go.

I think I said before, if you aren't sleeping that should be your focus, not training.

Back rounding is not the end of the world, when Matt spotted me, he showed me that when I thought my lower back was rounding, it was my upper back and the lower was fine, people see upper rounding and freak out.

This coming from a guy with a bad back at the moment... but I think my issues are more to do with my mechanics being uneven.

You need to get some decent sleep, you're going to cause yourself more injuries without proper rest time to recover/heal/build.

Sometimes going to bed early is worse. When I go through a bad sleeping phase I'm usually mentally active when I hit the sack which keeps me awake.

So To break that cycle, I stay up later and watch a movie/play a game/read a book. Which clears my mind. Sleeping solidly between 12 and 6 is better than going to bed at 9 and tossing and turning all night.

A good stiff drink or two can also mellow you out (it helps me on rare occassions).

Tried doing deadlifts again today same thing happened on the first rep. f**king over this shit.

Pisses me off because now I miss another session. I really wanted to bench today but can't do shit when can't breathe properly

I just said my ribs hurt when I was doing deads on Wednesday.

My trainer said to leave deads until Saturday to rest it as I wanted to try again the next day, he said no leave to Sat and if it hurts he said stop. I did one rep same thing.

Has to be something with my form, don't know what though.

    • Given it is temporary, I bought a  cheapy gauge mount (which has become enflattened) which I will screw into the existing phone mount Also a first for me; given this is a temporary install I could not think of any reason not to use one of those "add a fuse" thingies to source the battery and IGN power. I had always figured they were pretty dodgy but having a good look at them I think they are a valid option for sourcing power from an existing source without cutting 
    • Finally for now, a bit more work on the transmission temp gauge. I was wondering how Raceworks do a gauge for $100 that autometer want $500 for. No idea about the accuracy of course, but they have cut a few corners that made things hard.  First one I mentioned above, the sender is physically difficult to fit and doesn't work with their own adapters (the extra fittings I used to get the sender into a hose cost more than the whole gauge, lucky I had stuff in the shed) Second, the temp sender wires are way too short. They are shown as 2.7m on the box and I know my routing was long from navigator headlight to driver's firewall back to centre console, but I had to lengthen them by about 2m total - 2 joins in each wire. Also, same with the supplied power loom, they needed about an extra 1m to get the fuse box where I sourced power. Another join in each wire since one end wasn't supplied terminated. I know they could argue that the wires might be long enough depending on situation, but when you consider parts and particularly labour, it would be a very expensive cheap gauge if you can't do the work yourself. And, only a small issue....but it would have been nice if they remembered to tap a tread onto *both* spacers they supplied for the bracket....I haven't had to use the M4 tap often!
    • If it does get a turbo it would blow the JCW Mini out of the water considering how "close" some of the tests were. Then again the Mini would probably get one of them Stage 69 tunes.
    • Next up, the extinguisher is mounted but really only temporary because I ran into clearance problems (the bracket fit fine....until I put an extinguisher on it). It picks up the seat bolt mounts but has long bolts running through 20mm spacers for now Doing it properly requires a bit of quick welding but I ran out of time, this will do for the practice day  
    • Family events weekend but a snuck a couple of things in. NSW state champs were down at Wakefield so I got Gordon Leven's to bring some A052s down in the right size for some spare rims I had that "fit" (actually ex-Leaf Nismo.Rays in 18x7.5). Tyres are 235/45/18 so they are narrower than stock (19x8.5s) but I need to keep road tyres on it for daily use for now. In a first, those weird size tyres had been in the yoko warehouse for so long (4.5 years apparently) that they offered 4 for the price of 2....so 4 practice tyres for about $1100. Bit of a bargain for sticker tyres, considering the real purpose of the practice day is mostly to see how the various temps go (and the weather is due to help, forecast 32o). In terms of race wheels, it looks like I should be able to fit 9.5 fronts and 10.5 rears but 18 vs 19 height will be based on what tyres I can get in the right size - good tyres are very limited in available widths in diameters above 17" so some planning is needed. Once I'm sure this car will work I'll order a set of custom BC wheels like I did for the R32, you can get exactly the right width and offset to make the most of the available space in the wheel well (the 32 has 295s all round on 18x10s and they are awesome) Incidentally A052 are asymmetrical but not directional which is good news for rally use if the front and rear wheel sizes are different because I can swap them side to side on the same axle. Directional tyres are a nightmare with staggered size wheels because each tyre is fixed on that corner unless you can get it rotated on the rim (not really practical mid rally in most cases)
