These are both nitric oxide pre-workout supplements and very different. They are pre workout formula's and usually stimulant based. They are designed more for energy and vascularization rather than true "mass" gains. The are usually bases on Amino's like Beta-Alenaine. 1MR as an example has got 300mg of caffeine coupled with Beta-A - that will seriously pump you up! I had trouble sleeping some nights after serious sessions.

I use them also, I've used Dymatize Energized Xpand, Jack3D, 1MR and I'm currently using Mesomorph. I like to try different sups and see how they go :)

Yeah i realise they are different, jus sayin :) How was Jack3D? i've heard good things about that. and yeah ur point about the needle is so true

Anyone use or have any experience with mass building supplements legal or illegal in Australia? The off the shelf kind from the US etc, not the other kind.

There is a link at www.bodybuilding.com where it showed what products can be sent over to Australia. I was just looking at it yesterday but now I can't find the link.

Have only consumed protein shake, 2 cans of tuna and 2 slices of wholemeal toast today.

Craving sugar SO BAD.

Try eating some Walnuts or Cashews, they take the edge off. There are also some great low carb bars at Woolworths etc, the Atkins ones are great when you need a hit.

See I listen to these cravings...I figure my body has a good idea of what it needs and will tell me through my taste for something. I rarely ever deny it the privelege. Thirsty? Need a drink. Hungry? Load with carbs. Sweet tooth? Get some sugar into ya. etc. etc.

Not all of us are sticks though ey? ;)

So I checked bodybuilding.com and -

Can not be imported to Australia:

Alfafa, Artichoke Extract, Apple Cider Vinegar

Androsterone

Barberry

Cordyceps Sinensis

Egg Protein (if greater than 10% Egg)

Deer Antler Velvet

Dimethylaminoethanol (DMAE)

Ecdysterone or 20-Hydroxyecdysone

Hawthorne Berry

Human Growth Hormone (HGH)

Hoodia Gordinii

Kava Kava (Piper Methysticum)

Lecithin

L-Dopa (HGH precursor)

Mucuna Pruriens

Olive Leaf

Pregnenolone

Prickly Pear Cactus

Progesterone

ProHormones/ProAnabolics of any kind

Synephrine

Wheat Grass (Triticum Aesvitum)

The make up of my sup is -

Androsta-1-ene-3b-ol-17-ono 15mg

4-chloro-17a-methyl-androst-1, 4-diene-3-17b-diol 15mg

2a, 17a-dimethyl-etiocholan 3-one, 17b-ol 7.5mg

Bop-bow.... :(

I thought cashews had a negative side to them if attempting to drop fat? Otherwise cheers I'll check it out lol.

Damn you. I used to be like that, though after my stroke (yes, stroke) my apparent metabolism ate shit. Might be due to the lack of physical exercise I was able to do for a while afterwards.

The make up of my sup is -

Androsta-1-ene-3b-ol-17-ono 15mg

4-chloro-17a-methyl-androst-1, 4-diene-3-17b-diol 15mg

Looks like you know what you need but can't get them imported, I hate when that happens, anyway, the U.S has a strong ban on Skylines so...:whistling:

How about tribulus + DHEA? They gave me a really nice boost when I was taking them them at my uni a few years back, would definitely recommend that you (or anyone) try if you already haven't done yet. I used less than the recommended dosages, but even then it had a strong impact in my workouts.

people forget that steroids don't make you big on their own... they just shorten your recovery time and let you work out more etc... so you still have to be putting the work in, more so in fact... on the other hand testosterone/HGH etc will help you add bulk

And the food/sleep - thats the more important part of it all.

Plenty of people i know over the years have used for various reasons. Not going into it more than that though.

One currently does and competes in competitions etc - i can see the purpose for his choice.

The amount of food the guy eats in one day is more than i would eat in 2 and i eat a ridiculous amount as it is. The diet is so ridiculously strict I would go crazy not being able to eat the things i do currently.

But then he is 110-120kg and has next to bodyfat so it's a ridiculous machine that needs correct fuelling :miner:

Guys don't like to admit to using gear, because it is still by and large frowned upon in society (IMO unjustifiably).

A user is automatically assumed to be lazy and taking the easy option. As many of you have correctly stated, steroids accelerate a slow process.

They aren't magic and you aren't about to turn into Arnie.

You can put a turbo on your car, it still isn't about to go anywhere without the correct fuel (good diet/proper training/sleep).

That said, I have heard of some disaster stories, but that is really due to stupid use, dosages, combinations of compounds, prolonged cycle period, no PCT and so on.

I would avoid them unless you are a professional and keen on entering the competition scene....(or if you are an 'events' junky tops of brah...zinggg).

I'm thinking general consensus is that steroids and similar supplements are acceptable to use if you do it right and don't use it from the beginning. I believe everyone needs to put in some decent effort over a period of time before they should be "allowed" to jump into things like that, otherwise you really are cheating - both yourself and the game.

That's true. The use needs to be within a framework.

As a general rule, use isn't recommended until:

You have a solid base (85kg frame minimum with low bodyfat, a lot more if you are tall)

You have strong lifts (I'd say 100kg bench, 160kg squat and 200kg deadlift)

You are 25 years old.

You have at least 5 years of dieting and training under your belt.

You have an in-depth knowledge of steroids compounds, steroid cycles and PCT.

    • Try looking at Eibacb/H&R springs Thats what Gary sourced for mine.
    • Hey y'all! I'm curious about how y'all go about widebodying your cars. I noticed that when running a square setup, my front wheels are a bit more tucked in than my rear wheels. Not by much, maybe 5-10mm. This leads me to wonder - when I widebody, should I use narrower front flares and wider rear flares? I found a set of 40mm rear flares that I really like, and was thinking of pairing them with some 18mm front flares, but I don't want the car to look strange. How have others done this? Note, I'm in a sedan. Thanks!
    • And if it was anything other than an auto tranny part, it might be a problem. But seeing as all auto trannies belong in the recycling bin, it's fine.
    • I have an R32 Fenix rad. It is good.
    • All the schemas I can see, indicate your typical setup of ATF 'cooler' (read: heat exchanger) in the bottom radiator tank..ie; https://nissan.epc-data.com/stagea/wgnc34/5413-rb25det/engine/214/ ...but I can prattle on a bit here. These trannies have a thermistor in the sump ~ the TCU reads this and 1. bumps the line pressure up when the ATF is 'cold' and 2. prevents the TC lockup clutch from operating, until the ATF comes up to minimum operating temp (keeps the ATF 'churning' through the TC so it heats up quicker) -- trigger point is around 55C. In these conditions, the engine coolant temperature rises faster than the ATF temperature, and also helps heat the ATF up, which is why it's best to think of the in radiator tank setup as a heat exchanger ; the heat can flow in both directions... ...with these trannies, the 'hot' ATF comes out the front banjo bolt, flows through the cooler/heat exchanger, and returns to the box  via the rear banjo bolt. This gets a mention, due to the wildly different opinions wrt running auto trans fluid coolers ~ do you bypass the in radiator tank altogether, or put the cooler inline with the in radiator tank system...and then, do you put the additional cooler before of after the in radiator tank system?... ....fact is the nominal engine operating temp (roughly 75C), happens to be the ideal temperature for the ATF used in these trannies as well (no surprises there), so for the in radiator tank system to actually 'cool' the ATF, the ATF temp has to be hotter than that...lets say 100C -- you've got 25C of 'excess' heat, (slowly) pumping into the 75C coolant. This part of the equation changes drastically, when you've got 100C ATF flowing through an air cooled radiator ; you can move a lot more excess heat, faster ~ it is possible to cool the ATF 'too much' as it were...(climate matters a lot)... ...in an 'ideal' setup, what you're really trying to control here, is flash heating of the ATF, primarily produced by the TC interface. In a perfect world, wrt auto trans oil cooling, you want a dedicated trans cooler with builtin thermostatic valving - they exist. These should be run inline and before the in radiator tank system ~ when 'cold' the valving bypasses the fin stack, allowing the ATF to flow direct to the in radiator tank heat exchanger, so it works 'as intended' with helping heat the ATF up. When 'hot' (iirc it was 50C threshold), the valving shuts forcing the ATF through the cooler fin stack, and onto the in radiator tank heat exchanger...and you sort of think of it as a 'thermal conditioner' of sorts...ie; if you did cool your ATF down to 65C, the coolant will add a little heat, otherwise it works as intended... ...the 'hot' ATF coming from the front bango bolt, is instantiated from the TC when in use, so all/any flash heated oil, flows to the fluid-to-air cooler first, and because of the greater heat differential, you can get rid of this heat fast. Just how big (BTU/h) this cooler needs to be to effectively dissipate this TC flash heat, is the charm...too many variables to discuss here, but I just wanted to point out the nitty-gritty of automatic trans fluid coolers ~ they're a different beastie to what most ppl think of when considering an 'oil cooler'... /3.5cents
