What does your gym think about your workout vs progress? do they have any suggestions that may help?

My gym agrees I should be lifting heavier and have given me lots of suggestions and advice, such as box squats, resistance band bench, incline bench, floor press, good mornings and other things but trainer says no.

That is unfortunate that your trainer won't allow it, for whatever reason it is. You've persisted with this method for a long time now.

Maybe the minimalist approach isn't enough for you.

Emulate the strong to get stronger.

Her routine is fine and still presenting gains; going very well considering how little time is spent working out and no assistance exercises; she is on a little plateau for 1RMs and I wouldn't even call it that, given progress is still being made in volume weights and reps when it's not being made with 1RMs. Read the rest of the thread and you'll see the steady increases leading up until the last week or so.

It's nothing but impatience from someone who skips dinner and wonders why the lifts aren't there the next day.

I skipped dinner one time because it was fking horrible and I couldnt be bothered making anything else as it was late so I had a protein shake. I eat a meal before gym which is dinner anyway. I eat nearly 2000 calories a day so I'm hardly under nourished.

Seemingly angry post precedes successful lifts that were failed last time haha

A thought on your training. 1rm's get more taxing the heavier the weight. Is this affecting your recovery?

Funny that, she ate a solid dinner lastnight and listened to my training lol

This was actually a training prep/test for a novice lifting comp on Sunday. So squats were well past parallel, deadlifts without hitching and bench was done with a pause at the chest and me giving the go ahead to "press". She did very well and only missed one lift, which is great considering there was hardly any rest between lift attempts (we got all this done in under an hour).

I never said it's not working.

So sore, especially my back and hip flexors. I think it's from lifting all day Sunday, then going straight on a plane for 4 hours and getting cramps then driving for 2 hours.

    • Very nice - I also have a 92 GTST and hardly see any others around these days
    • When I need something else to edit, I use Movavi. A friend who does video editing on a daily basis recommended me) it's an easy video cutter to use for beginners
    • I need to edit some videos for work but I'm not good at all this. Which video editor can you recommend?
    • I think you're really missing the point. The spec is just the minimum spec that the fuel has to meet. The additive packages can, and do, go above that minimum if the fuel brand feels they need/want to. And so you get BP Ultimate or Shell Ultra (or whatever they call it) making promises to clean your engine better than the standard stuff....simply because they do actually put better additive packages in there. They do not waste special sauce on the plebian fuel if they can avoid it. I didn't say "energy density". I just said "density". That's right, the specific gravity (if you want to use a really shit old imperial description for mass per unit volume). The density being higher indicates a number of things, from reduces oxygen content, to increased numbers of double bonds or cyclic components. That then just happens to flow on to the calorific value on a volume basis being correspondingly higher. The calorific value on a mass basis barely changes, because almost all hydrocarbon materials have a very similar CV per kg. But whatever - the end result is that you do get a bit more energy per litre, which helps to offset some of the sting of the massive price bump over 91. I can go you one better than "I used to work at a fuel station". I had uni lecturers who worked at the Pt Stanvac refinery (at the time they were lecturing, as industry specialist lecturers) who were quite candid about the business. And granted, that was 30+ years ago, and you might note that I have stated above that I think the industry has since collected together near the bottom (quite like ISPs, when you think about it). Oh, did I mention that I am quite literally a combustion engineer? I'm designing (well, actually, trying to avoid designing and trying to make the junior engineer do it) a heavy fuel oil firing system for a cement plant in fricking Iraq, this week. Last week it was natural gas fired this-that. The week before it was LPG fired anode furnaces for a copper smelter (well, the burners for them, not the actual furnaces, which are just big dumb steel). I'm kinda all over fuels.
    • Well my freshly rebuilt RB25DET Neo went bang 1000kms in, completely fried big end bearing in cylinder 1 so bad my engine seized. No knocking or oil pressure issue prior to this happening, all happened within less than a second. Had Nitto oil pump, 8L baffled sump, head drain, oil restrictors, the lot put in to prevent me spinning a bearing like i did to need the rebuild. Mechanic that looked after the works has no idea what caused it. Reckoned it may have been bearing clearance wrong in cylinder 1 we have no idea. Machinist who did the work reckoned it was something on the mechanic. Anyway thats between them, i had no part in it, just paid the money Curiosity question, does the oil system on RB’s go sump > oil pump > filter > around engine? If so, if you had a leak on an oil filter relocation plate, say sump > oil pump > filter > LEAK > around engine would this cause a low oil pressure reading if the sensors was before the filter?   TIA
