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

    • Can I suggest you try EBC directly again and link them to as many competitor catalogues as you can to show their listing is incorrect, eg https://dba.com.au/product/front-4000-series-hd-brake-rotor-dba42304/ If you have access to an R33 GTST VIN and your VIN, you could also use a Nissan Parts lookup like Amayama to show them the part number is different between 33 GTST and 34 GTT which may get their attention
    • So i got reply from EBC and they just this site where you can clearly see those 296mm fronts on R34 GTT. I send them photos and "quotes" that 296mm are not for 34 GTT and they are too small. But it will be very hard to return them cuz nobody here knows 100% and they just copy those EBC catalogue :-D https://ebcbrakesdirect.com/automotive/nissan/skyline-r34
    • Hi, is the HKS  Tower Bar still available ? negotiable ? 🤔
    • From there, it is really just test and assemble. Plug the adapter cables from the unit into the back of the screen, then the other side to the car harness. Don't forget all the other plugs too! Run the cables behind the unit and screw it back into place (4 screws) and you should now have 3 cables to run from the top screen to the android unit. I ran them along the DS of the other AV units in the gap between their backets and the console, and used some corrugated tubing on the sharp edges of the bracket so the wires were safe. Plug the centre console and lower screen in temporarily and turn the car to ACC, the AV should fire up as normal. Hold the back button for 3 sec and Android should appear on the top screen. You need to set the input to Aux for audio (more on that later). I put the unit under the AC duct in the centre console, with the wifi antenna on top of the AC duct near the shifter, the bluetooth antenna on the AC duct under the centre console The GPS unit on top of the DS to AC duct; they all seem to work OK there are are out of the way. Neat cable routing is a pain. For the drive recorder I mounted it near the rear view mirror and run the cable in the headlining, across the a pillar and then down the inside of the a pillar seal to the DS lower dash. From there it goes across and to one USB input for the unit. The second USB input is attached to the ECUtec OBD dongle and the 3rd goes to the USB bulkhead connected I added in the centre console. This is how the centre console looks "tidied" up Note I didn't install the provided speaker, didn't use the 2.5mm IPod in line or the piggyback loom for the Ipod or change any DIP switches; they seem to only be required if you need to use the Ipod input rather than the AUX input. That's it, install done, I'll follow up with a separate post on how the unit works, but in summary it retains all factory functions and inputs (so I still use my phone to the car for calls), reverse still works like factory etc.
    • 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.
