no explode made my arse explode.

AHAHAHAHAHHAHAH!!!!! ME TOO!!!!!

actually it was NOKO. a perth based company imports it and re-labels it from the usa. cheap stuff.. caffeine snd what have you

felt like heaps energetic

but

later that night at the queens a pee'd hard out of my ass. it hurt me bad. esp the fact i had to make a dirty snap at the queens toilets. the end.

Since i started working out properly i've been doing my reading online, listening to people give me their philosophies on weight training (i.e. getting 6 opinions from 5 different people) and i've come to realise a few different things which might help some people out there:

- you DO need carbs to be able to work out efficiently, how much though and WHEN is the key. 5-7 meals seems to be the average around my neck of the woods and it consists of consuming them evenly throughout the day but get them in before say 1-2pm, earlier than that if you work out at that time (i work out at around 6pm and stop consuming carbs at 1pm. i tend to fit in 3 protein shakes throughout the day and fit in my daily carb consumption within the first 2, breakfast includes 3 weetbix, between lunch and dinner is 2 and post workout shake = no weetbix, why weetbix? its a good complex carb, complex carbs help you break-down proteins and energy more efficiently. fill in your other meals with high protein foods and greens.

- FORM is the key to getting the best results, no matter what it is you're doing at the gym. i see a whole bunch of big boys at the gym who work out to look good. then i see a whole bunch of MASSIVE boys who concentrate on form more than how much they lift and the difference is very noticeable. the boys who concentrate on form lift less weight but increase every 2 weeks or so. the big boys will sit on the same weight for alot longer.

- suppliments work if you know how to get the most out of them. go and get a blood test done to see if you're lacking any vitamins, thats the best start in my opinion. personally im low on iron and ive got slightly lower blood pressure - so i eat more red meats and add mushrooms to my salads and do more cardio. its what works for your body as im sure has been mentioned before.

also, you can consume all the proteins in the world and your body wont be able to absorb it. you need to help your body become an energy burning machine, complex carbs and fruit are great for this - i always fit one or both after a protein shake and always eat fruit after a meal - the lower in sugar the fruit the better.

- dont be naive and think that everyone at the gym got to their sizes naturally. most of the big boys have hit the juice at some stage so dont beat yourself up over going to the gym for a year and seeing smaller gains than most. as long as you feel stronger and fitter than the month before then you're on the right track.

- hitting the treadmill is beneficial after a weights workout. interval training is great. the idea is to keep your heart rate moving which makes your body use up more energy as it tries to catch up with your movements. since i started interval training (on the bike) ive been leaving the gym with my shirts almost drenched whereas before when i would keep a constant speed and just feel tired but not sweat as much.

only suppliments im on are protain and tribulus tabs and the occasional hit of animal m stack (which does make me feel pumped after a workout).

ive JUST started getting back into it properly after a long holiday overseas.

im not anywhere near big, but im noticing big changes since ive been working out smarter.

EDIT: forgot to add that CORE training also helps when you're trying to lift heavy, ever since i started core training (abs, obliques, back) i had to add weight to almost every exercise. i do the plank alot too which is #1, try it.. it looks gay but its an awesome workout.

Not a bad post. However I have to say I am a little sceptical about the Alleged benefits of Tribulus. I have heard so many claims of Tribulus increasing testosterone, Yet I dont recall seeing any official lab reports that can back this up. I have used it before and never noticed any difference.

Do you know why your heart is pumping fast? It's just full of sugar. It does not give you an increase in strength and recovery, it's all placebo effect. I bet if i gave you panadol and told you it was a pill you would act off your head too.

Never bothered checking the contents or the amount of sugar it may have... but the amount of energy it gives me to burn can't be replaced by another product.

I've consumed two tea spoons this stuff before 7pm in a glass of water, now its 1am and i can't fooking sleep. Where before 6pm, i was already drained and tired. Few hours later im bouncing around.

No offence but this is not a reliable experiment by any means and doesn't consider a large other number of factors that could result in you not sleeping. In saying that I have not read the rest of the conversationg about this and could be completely wrong in what I am saying.

all i really notice is my body temp is a higher than normal and im on the shitter alot more so its doing something - whether or not its beneficial at the gym is what im testing at the moment but i feel that i will be making the same conclusion as you.

Why not just have 5 spoons of coffee before you go to the gym then? :P

Goodluck! will be definatly interested to see how u go.

Ive used quite a lot of different supplements to see what benefits me the most, im usually using whey protein isolate type drinks for post workout, the best ones Ive used so far are:

Muscle asylums FREAK FIX, Optimum nutrition's 100% gold, and Aussie bodies Isolate all taste pretty decent which is a big + for me and have been working out pretty well!

As for Pre workout ive used:

Muscle Asylums Creadex and Altered Body i found that Altered body made me get a big agro after using it

3ish times a week so i though it best to stop lol but the credex didnt have any adverse effects on me but i didnt

notice much of a different workout or results.....might be just me

I would not reccommend using the majority of supplements u can get from workout world because they are WAY over priced last i was in there and they all tasted really bad compared to the others not to mention the

sleepless nights running to and from the loo!! lol

hope my input helps!

I was working out at the gym and had to rush downstairs to the toilets. I totally ruined the toilet bowl. Poor cleaner

I been doing gym for about 6-8 months now.. started taking Max's protein shit in the beginning. seemed to work ok.. and has the right amount of protein in it..

i then jumped on creatine from universal nutrition. seemed to work fine also but as said it only really holds water and most gains are lost..

now i am using ultimate nutrition isomassextreme-blkbgd.jpg

it has similar amounts of protein in it and also lots of amino acids that are needed. along with the carbss brahh!!

we do drop set's combined with negatives at the moment and i have found they are the best to give you the pain :yes:

say 60kg start. pump untill you cant, then do negatives, drop off 10-15kg and repeat all in the one set.. and keep going untill your lifting the bar.. or atleast try to lift the bar.. fun times..

i buy most of my stuff from http://www.vitaminking.com.au/

P.s. Joe (SECURITY) where do you train? you were from the area (revesby way) yeah??

yeah im from that area but i work out at sylvania fitness first, bankstown is rubbish so i dont bother going there dude. its all about who can lift the most weight with 4 guys spotting you, then drop your weights on the floor, walk away, get a bench and talk on the phone for 5mins between sets. its shit.

where do you work out?

Ha thats funny, sounds a lot like some of the Gyms that I have been to. I just dont get it with some of these guys, They load up a bar with FAR more weight than they could possibly lift for one rep on their own.And then get a few spotters to lift the bar for them. WTF is with that ? Hell why not just get a forklift up in the Gym and load a thousand kilos and bench that? How they are supposed to feel the pump training like that beats me. Yet you will almost never see these guys doing squats. These are the guys who wear trackpants the whole year round because their legs are so small and underdeveloped they look like they have spent their life confined to a wheelchair....

Who else in on the BSC Tornado Force 10? Awesome pre-workout drink, good recommendation! Keeps you going for the whole workout and doesn't fade off after a few sets. Joined that with my BSC Mass Monster + oats, BCAA and Glutamine...nice supplement setup :P

But then again...it's all about dieting. A proper diet will kill it any and everyday.

Havent tried that BSC one yet. I was on one called shock therapy which was pretty good. Have yet to try out your diet tips with the oats,BCAA. on my to-do-list

Yup just mix some oats into your shakes, start of with a bit then gradually put more in as you continue. How many shakes you drinking a day? I suggest you do 3 shakes, 2 at least! Try getting a diet routine happening and eating every 3 or so hours, which will come to about 7 meals a day which includes the 3 shakes. Mix a teaspoon of glutamine into your shakes along with the oats.

Get the BSC Tornado 10. you will love it. Put two scoops of it into 300ml of water and zip it before you workout...i would drink it 20 minutes before you workout though like it says...i done it once like straight before my workout and my stomach wasn't being too friendly haha.

Do you have a during workout drink? If not i suggest going to the local supermarket and getting a tub of powerade powder, they give you a scoop in it, it's like $10 or so. Get one of those 1 litre powerade bottles while your at it haha it will do you good :( Fill up the bottle with water, put a scoop of powerade into it, a teaspoon of your BCAA and Glutamine.

Anything else you want to know, feel free to ask :P

    • Place the new daughterboard in the case and mount it using the 3 small black rivets provided, and reconnect the 3 factory ribbon cables to the new board Then, use the 3 piggyback cables from the daughterboard into the factory board on top (there are stand offs in the case to keep them apart. and remember to reconnect the antenna and rear cover fan wires. 1 screw to hold the motherboard in place. Before closing the case, make a hole in the sticker covering a hole in the case and run the cable for the android unit into the plug there. The video forgot this step, so did I, so will you probably. Then redo the 4 screws on back, 2 each top and bottom, 3 each side and put the 2 brackets back on.....all ready to go and not that tricky really.      
    • Onto the android unit. You need to remove the top screen because there is a daughterboard to put inside the case. Each side vent pops out from clips; start at the bottom and carefully remove upwards (use a trim remover tool to avoid breaking anything). Then the lower screen and controls come out, 4 screws, a couple of clips (including 3 flimsy ones at the top) and 3 plugs on the rear. Then the upper screen, 4 screws and a bunch of plugs and she is out. From there, remove the mounting brackets (2 screws each), 4 screws on the rear, 2 screws top and bottom and 3 screws holding in the small plates on each side. When you remove the back cover (tight fit), watch out for the power cable for the fan, I removed it so I could put the back aside. The mainboard is held in by 1 screw in the middle, 1 aerial at the top and 3 ribbon cables. If you've ever done any laptop stuff the ribbon cables are OK to work with, just pop up the retainer and they slide out. If you are not familiar just grab a 12 year old from an iphone factory, they will know how it works The case should now look like this:
    • Switching the console was tricky. First there were 6 screws to remove, and also the little adapter loom and its screws had to come out. Also don't forget to remove the 2 screws holding the central locking receiver. Then there are 4 clips on either side....these were very tight in this case and needed careful persuading with a long flat screw driver....some force required but not enough to break them...this was probably the fiddliest part of the whole job. In my case I needed both the wiring loom and the central locking receiver module to swap across to the new one. That was it for the console, so "assembly is the reverse of disassembly"
    • But first....while I was there, I also swapped across the centre console box for the other style where the AV inputs don't intrude into the (very limited !) space.  Part# was 96926-4GA0A, 284H3-4GA0B, 284H3-4GA0A. (I've already swapped the top 12v socket for a USB bulkhead in this pic, it fit the hole without modification:) Comparison of the 2: Basically to do the console you need to remove the DS and PS side console trim (they slide up and back, held in by clips only) Then remove the back half of the console top trim with the cupholders, pops up, all clips again but be careful at the front as it is pretty flimsy. Then slide the shifter boot down, remove the spring clip, loose it forever somewhere in the car the pull the shift knob off. Remove the tiny plastic piece on DS near "P" and use something thin and long (most screwdrivers won't fit) to push down the interlock and put the shifter down in D for space. There is one screw at the front, then the shifter surround and ashtray lift up. There are 3 or 4 plugs underneath and it is off. Next is the rear cover of the centre console; you need to open the console lid, pop off the trim covering the lid hinge and undo the 2rd screw from the driver's side (the rest all need to come out later so you can do them all now and remove the lid) Then the rear cover unclips (6 clips), start at the top with a trim tool pulling backwards. Once it is off there are 2 screws facing rearwards to remove (need a short phillips for these) and you are done with the rear of the console. There are 4 plugs at the A/V box to unclip Then there are 2 screws at the front of the console, and 2 clips (pull up and back) and the console will come out.
    • So, a bit of a side trip, but one that might be interesting for people with JDM cars and japanese head units. I know @Pac previously posted about a carplay/android auto adapter he installed which used the AUX input, and @V35_Paul put in one of the Tesla style units that replace both screens. The option I went with was a Lsait LLT-YF-VER5.87_2 (https://www.alibaba.com/product-detail/Lsailt-8GB-Android-Multimedia-Interface-for_1601187633672.html). Price was $1,150 for a single unit although they are much cheaper if you are willing to buy 2....$857ea. Make you you get the version 2 not version 1, it is faster and has a better UI - this is the manufacturer listing: http://www.lsailt.com/product/348.html. BTW if you've never bought from Alibaba before, don't be concerned....these guys can't stay in business unless they are responsive, ship fast etc, they were excellent (probably faster shipping than most local places) So, this was my task for a lazy Sat afternoon....looks complex but was all done in a few hours (it probably helps that I had some of it apart before so it was a bit familiar). I also decided to add a HD USB drive recorded at the same time and the unit also supports an aftermarket reverse cam (if you don't want to retain factory) and also AV in and HDMI out It looks much worse than it is, in fact in was genuinely all plug and play (no custom wiring at all). This video was pretty good (skipped a few steps), unfortunately they are an Aussie seller but no longer sell this unit (I guess Carplay/AA adapters are easier to install and much cheaper) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=T5hJfYOB8Dg
