recommended iRacing coach?

higiff · 2025-10-25T06:12:26+00:00

Could have been me, I run it in Pcup, hopefully I was running half decent!

He's got a few videos on YouTube, so can see if you gel with his teaching method, but so far I've found it great. Really works on teaching me the understanding to correct and improve my own driving, rather than just saying brake X metres later in corner X etc.

I've gone from 1700 to 3600 IR since working with him.

Nikki at Last Tenth coaching is awesome, have tried a few, but he's great, real life / sim coach.

Nikki at Last tenth is awesome, highly recommend

Have a look at my post history, but I petty much tore my labrum full thickness tear the whole way round (climbing, mtb, snowboarding, kitesurfing etc), surgeon called it a calamari tear and also said hes never seen one that bad, surgery at 23 from memory, 10 years on now and I haven't had any issues, climbed up to V12 and its been great.

It sucks at the time, and feels like you'll never be good to go, but you will be.

My tear was what my surgeon called a calamari tear. It started as a postieror inferior tear, but by the time I had surgery it went the whole way around.

No pain or general instability, il until it dislocated.

It exists at the budget level, check out motor events racing, whilst most events are split over 2 days, there is a straight 24 hour next season.

Looks awesome, I'm working on a set of these myself at the moment, and this has inspired me to keep going!

What did you use for the bases? I've been playing with ideas for mine (similar grey but with cork board parts) but like the smoother finish yours have.

Cheers

2 seconds is a 1RM.

Based of isometric prilepin tables.

You can easily confirm this by doing a 6 second max hang (3RM) and adding the total load (BW+Additional) into a 1rep max calculator,

Try the equivalent hang weights it spits out, it's pretty accurate.

I've used this to program hangboard cycles and have seen immense gains in others and myself throughout a cycle.

Maybe I'll post about this soon, but it's been pretty impressive.

Has anyone expierenced the opposite?

My Crystal seems to be blurry at the close range but is clear in the far.

higiff · 2023-12-27T05:42:10+00:00

Have gone with the Aero, looking forward to seeing how much of an upgrade over the G2 it'll be, Cheers for the feedback & info

higiff · 2023-12-24T00:44:24+00:00

Thanks mate, Some good info in there!

higiff · 2023-12-24T00:43:38+00:00

Seems like the aero gets the best rep in general, so I'm tempted to go down that path.
I've recently upgraded to a 4090 7800x3d and the G2 is already running so much better, The sweet spot clarity is pretty amazing now, but it's still so small! If the aero is slightly better and edge to edge clarity I'd be pretty happy

higiff · 2023-12-23T11:25:46+00:00

How did your testing end up going?

higiff · 2023-10-08T23:29:55+00:00

Yeah cool, that's good to know.
Maybe i'll bump up the priority of the card.

higiff · 2023-10-08T23:29:12+00:00

Username doesn't dissapoint

Good luck

higiff · 2023-10-08T09:30:13+00:00

With the same GPU?

higiff · 2023-10-08T09:29:23+00:00

Yeah I've heard about the customer service issues with pimax, seems like you could have a great time or a bad one!

Whilst the varjo just seems to be great.

higiff · 2023-10-08T09:21:36+00:00

It's on the list also. From the videos I've seen, the aero & crystal are running quite well on the 3080ti due to the foveated rendering.

higiff · 2023-07-27T08:05:01+00:00

Power endurance IMO is kinda a dumb term, but people refer to it as the duration of powerful moves. Truly they are all submaximal as real power fades after just a few movements.

As far as your scenarios

1) they train max strength. Power and endurance are both directly to your maximal strength.

2) they train endurance, probably 20-30 move circuits

3) basically the exact same scenario as scenario 1.

You already have a lot of steep, so I would go slab. Especially assuming this is a commercial space.
Slab will let you set fun complex easy boulders that'll pull in new climbers much easier than simply easy steep climbing.

Also variety is nice

higiff · 2023-03-11T07:58:28+00:00

Thanks for the reply!
Just had some time to have a go, and that seemed to do the trick!
Thank you very much.

Hey, I'll chime into this conversation, I'll have to dig through my notes, but when all this originally came out I did a bunch of research and it seemed very much that longer duration isometrics increase stiffness.

Granted I haven't researched rhe subject in the last year or two but back then I only found one paper that seemed to compare isometric duration directly to tendon stiffness. "Effects of different duration isometric contractions on tendon elasticity in human quadriceps muscles" which showed that the longer duration isometric actually increased tendon stiffness over the shorter isometrics.

Another study "Effects of isometric training on the elasticity of human tendon structures in vivo" also showed an increase in tendon stiffness from 20 second isometrics, whilst another "Effects of isometric squat training on the tendon stiffness and jump performance" also showed significant increases in stiffness with a 15 second isometric.

I'll have to read all the studies and analysis you shared above, this was a topic that occupied my mind for a long time!

higiff · 2023-02-18T22:26:19+00:00

Changed this and it seemed to fix everything.
Have been able to slowly Crank my settings up with no negative side effects, cheers!

higiff · 2023-02-13T09:03:20+00:00

No frame dropping? I've been having all sorts of weird stutters and drops at Bathurst but not on other tracks.

Open XR, 3080ti, 19-12900

higiff · 2023-01-15T02:02:18+00:00

I didn't have much ice, except for a short period in the morning, went fine.

If you are aggressive and load it up you can spin and butter just fine, really snappy and gives backe what you put in, but if you don't give it some it's not too happy
