still tossing up (fap fap fap Lol) which sup to get, something easy to sink all protein and no carbs would suit me well, I don't care about taste, if it truthfully tastes good then Yeah I will hold out for it, but most of them taste so bad you can't really worry about it Lol.

PS.

the best motivation is feeling increased strength and muscle growth, pretty happy at the moment so I am upping the amount of different exercises I do per workout, in go squats and a few other old faithfuls.

banana and coffee flavour is ftw! banana is sorta weak, which i emailed the owner/manager about and he told be they dont want to put too much sugars etc in there.

Theyre also low carb

Also, $7 delivery to anywhere in Aus. (they also have a showroom in melbs if u live that way)

Just compared nutritional info of protein direct (which I've used for a while now) and bulk nutrients chocolate WPI.

Energy levels are about the same per 100g

BN wins on protein % per 100g

BN wins on carbs with 1.7g vs 5.3g per 100g

PD wins on sugars with 1.1g vs 1.5g per 100g, close enough

PD wins on saturated fats with 0.4g vs 1g per 100g

PD wins on sodium with 190mg vs 205mg per 100g

So I've purchased 5kg of the bulknutrients chocolate. Have never tasted it, and should probably have gone with 1kg to try it out, but it's not about taste so I'm sure I'll get it down.

Excellent, thanks for the link mate :thumbsup:

I also did a comparison, and I think they're pretty much close to each other in the above breakdown, but I chose PD because they were cheaper buy maybe.. 20$? ..something like that anyway.

PLUS, I was happy with the owner/manager emailing me back to my queries directly.. AND I received it the next day! VIC to ACT.

You'll make the 4th person thats purchased from BN i know in the last 2 weeks ZING!

I think you'll be happy as they all are (with the exception of one, he is still waiting delivery) :)

still waiting :( lol

Yeah no issue with service. Always arrives very quickly, 2 days at most. One time they sent me a bag labelled chocolate but containing natural, they sent me a free chocolate replacement and a flavor sachet for the natural, so about $100 worth of free stuff in the end.

Bulk nutrients is cheaper though. $270 for 10kg VS $300 from pd. Still cheaper even with the $5 extra in postage. And has a higher % of protein, so even if the price was the same as PD, it'd be better value imo

I read something earlier either in the brain health thread about sugar alcohol and not being absorbed....just wanted to get a little bit more info on that though not sure which thread to ask it in.....can someone explain what exactly the term "sugar alcohol" defines? Like, rum? lol....and it was said it doesn't get absorbed, would that mean drinking certain alcohols would give you less calorie/carb intake than others (mixers aside)?

Also BOOYA 5kg of Bulk Nutrients chocolate WPI just rocked up. LOVE the taste, though I will be honest it isn't 100% what I expected - though I haven't had a chocolate protein mix yet and this is the highest % mix I've had so far.

Shit just got real.

I had an interesting discussion about cheat meals recently.

Many people see them as an out for people who simply cannot strictly diet.

This isn't true, in fact, cheat meals serve a key purpose (or a dual purpose):

1: They trick your body into thinking that it is getting ample nutrients/calories, therefore, your body is less likely to go into starvation mode and do its absolute best to hold onto fat stores.

2: They keep you sane/more likely to stick to your diet and can be motivating. I especially look forward to my cheat meals whilst cutting.

Cheat meals are the safer option when compared to 'cheat days', you risk binging too hard on a cheat day lol. But if you can keep it within reason and it works, why not?

Jay cutlers cheat meals are good. Goes to a burger joint and orders 2 burgers with 4 patties on each, 1 slice of cheese on each and no added salt.

I plan to start cutting around mid august, but gotta start easing into it now coz I've gotten real last over the last few months

    • Who did you have do the installation? I actually know someone who is VERY familiar with the AVS gear. The main point of contact though would be your installer.   Where are you based in NZ?
    • Look, realistically, those are some fairly chunky connectors and wires so it is a reasonably fair bet that that loom was involved in the redirection of the fuel pump and/or ECU/ignition power for the immobiliser. It's also fair to be that the new immobiliser is essentially the same thing as the old one, and so it probably needs the same stuff done to make it do what it has to do. Given that you are talking about a car that no-one else here is familiar with (I mean your exact car) and an alarm that I've never heard of before and so probably not many others are familiar with, and that some wire monkey has been messing with it out of our sight, it seems reasonable that the wire monkey should be fixing this.
    • Wheel alignment immediately. Not "when I get around to it". And further to what Duncan said - you cannot just put camber arms on and shorten them. You will introduce bump steer far in excess of what the car had with stock arms. You need adjustable tension arms and they need to be shortened also. The simplest approach is to shorten them the same % as the stock ones. This will not be correct or optimal, but it will be better than any other guess. The correct way to set the lengths of both arms is to use a properly built/set up bump steer gauge and trial and error the adjustments until you hit the camber you need and want and have minimum bump steer in the range of motion that the wheel is expected to travel. And what Duncan said about toe is also very true. And you cannot change the camber arm without also affecting toe. So when you have adjustable arms on the back of a Skyline, the car either needs to go to a talented wheel aligner (not your local tyre shop dropout), or you need to be able to do this stuff yourself at home. Guess which approach I have taken? I have built my own gear for camber, toe and bump steer measurement and I do all this on the flattest bit of concrete I have, with some shims under the tyres on one side to level the car.
    • Thought I would get some advice from others on this situation.    Relevant info: R33 GTS25t Link G4x ECU Walbro 255LPH w/ OEM FP Relay (No relay mod) Scenario: I accidentally messed up my old AVS S5 (rev.1) at the start of the year and the cars been immobilised. Also the siren BBU has completely failed; so I decided to upgrade it.  I got a newer AVS S5 (rev.2?) installed on Friday. The guy removed the old one and its immobilisers. Tried to start it; the car cranks but doesnt start.  The new one was installed and all the alarm functions seem to be working as they should; still wouldn't start Went to bed; got up on Friday morning and decided to have a look into the no start problem. Found the car completely dead.  Charged the battery; plugged it back in and found the brake lights were stuck on.  Unplugging the brake pedal switch the lights turn off. Plug it back in and theyre stuck on again. I tested the switch (continuity test and resistance); all looks good (0-1kohm).  On talking to AVS; found its because of the rubber stopper on the brake pedal; sure enough the middle of it is missing so have ordered a new one. One of those wear items; which was confusing what was going on However when I try unplugging the STOP Light fuses (under the dash and under the hood) the brake light still stays on. Should those fuses not cut the brake light circuit?  I then checked the ECU; FP Speed Error.  Testing the pump again; I can hear the relay clicking every time I switch it to ON. I unplugged the pump and put the multimeter across the plug. No continuity; im seeing 0.6V (ECU signal?) and when it switches the relay I think its like 20mA or 200mA). Not seeing 12.4V / 7-9A. As far as I know; the Fuel Pump was wired through one of the immobiliser relays on the old alarm.  He pulled some thick gauged harness out with the old alarm wiring; which looks to me like it was to bridge connections into the immobilisers? Before it got immobilised it was running just fine.  Im at a loss to why the FP is getting no voltage; I thought maybe the FP was faulty (even though I havent even done 50km on the new pump) but no voltage at the harness plug.  Questions: Could it be he didnt reconnect the fuel pump when testing it after the old alarm removal (before installing the new alarm)?  Is this a case of bridging to the brake lights instead of the fuel pump circuit? It's a bit beyond me as I dont do a lot with electrical; so have tried my best to diagnose what I think seems to make sense.  Seeking advice if theres for sure an issue with the alarm install to get him back here; or if I do infact, need an auto electrician to diagnose it. 
    • Then, shorten them by 1cm, drop the car back down and have a visual look (or even better, use a spirit level across the wheel to see if you have less camber than before. You still want something like 1.5 for road use. Alternatively, if you have adjustable rear ride height (I assume you do if you have extreme camber wear), raise the suspension back to standard height until you can get it all aligned properly. Finally, keep in mind that wear on the inside of the tyre can be for incorrect toe, not just camber
