I think the brand is Brewers Choice (it comes in a 1kg plastic bag)..

But I've also had the Coopers brand one and it's the same stuff.

$3.50 is what I think it was..

actually, I'll go do woolies today at lunch to get a bag as I've only got enough left for a week.

Post a pic of the one I mean after lunch.

Would this stuff be good to take as a pre-lifting carb load?

Pre-lifting carb loading using sugars doesn't really make sense to me. You want carbs/proteins that will last through your workout :)

oops, misread something. I think I've got 2 posts mixed up, coz you're completely right lol

Is anyone here taking a dextrose supplement for their post-workout shake? I've been doing a bit of reading on it and it seems like something you could really benefit from.

Yea I take it, the brand is international protein and they call it extreme carbs... Seems to be working, makes u feel really full as well so I can't eat dinner for an hour or two after taking it.

Pretty much replenishes glycogen levels and helps with recovery... Just full of complex carbs which is what u want straight after training, absorbs really quick too

These are the 2 posts I read, and I think I've muffed up when I saw "complex carbs" which is what I thought was recommended pre-lifting (1.5hrs prior)

Ask anyone who's ever had lower back pain, how debilitating it is, and how scared they are to engage in an exercise like deadlifting for fear of aggravating things. I normally skip this one and work around it by doing other exercises that compliment my lower back muscles; I always figured it's better to be safe than sorry, considering how many exercises depend on good back health.

Lately the back pain has been getting better - I've been sitting more upright at my work desk and I changed my mattress for something more supportive. Still not sure if this is the cause, there's nothing worse than not knowing the exact cause of a debilitating pain, because you don't know what variable to take out of your life or exercise routine.

Regardless, I have been feeling better, and lastnight at the end of my gym session I thought I'd take a roll of the dice with some light deadlifts to finish it off. ~70kg, nothing to brag about and only a few sets of it, but enough to activate muscles for the first time doing an exercise. I feel great today...lower back is sore like I've been humping all night, but it seems to be the good kind of pain, the muscle-broken-down kind of pain, rather than a joint pain. I might continue doing it lightly over the next few weeks and see how things go...

I recently found a (better) chiro if your looking for one.

He's a long drive for me, but worth it. He's also a powerlifter so he knows exactly what to look for in terms of muscle development in the back et cetera :)

Can you PM me the details? I wouldn't mind getting checked out to see if anything is out of whack...my first call when I got the lower back pain should have been a visit to an osteo or chiro...

someone ran into the back of me playing basketball and put my neck out the other week... I ignored it (neck was a bit stiff but nothing extreme) and went to gym anyway... a bunch of heavy powercleans and overhead presses later my whole neck/upper back had locked up and was damn painful, I couldn't even turn my head... off to my Osteo I went and after some work it was heaps better... did a very light gym session and lots of stretching and then went back and saw him again... after he did some more work I did another gym session and its now 100% again

he was very impressed I had been to do gym sessions and lots of stretching between seeing him... said my recovery was better for it... as long as your not stupid about the weight, resistance training for injured areas is as important as stretching... I also like to use hot water bottles and Arnica cream for the inflammation

I've also heard lots of good stuff about foam rolling but have never tried it

    • Hi guys . Can someone help me  I bought an Android screen for my Nissan fuga but it won't turn on   
    • My guesstimate, with no real numbers to back it up, is it won't effect it greatly at all.its not a huge change in position, and I can't see the air flow changing from in turbulence that much based on distance, and what's in front of it. Johnny and Brad may have some more numbers to share from experience though.
    • Which solenoid? Why was it changed? Again, why was this done? ...well, these wear..but ultimately, why was it changed? Did you reset the idle voltage level after fitment? I'm just a tad confused ~ the flash code doesn't allude to these items being faulty, so in my mind the only reason to change these things, would be some drive-ability issue....and if that's the case, what was the problem? Those questions aside, check if the dropping resistor is OK ...should be 11~14 ohms (TCU doesn't throw a flash code for this) ~ also, these TCU designs have full time power (to keep fault code RAM alive), and I think that'll throw a logic code (as opposed to the 10 hardware codes), if that power is missing (or the ram has gone bad in the TCU, which you can check..but that's another story here perhaps).
    • Question for people who "know stuff" I am looking at doing the new intake like the one in the picture (the pictured is designed for the OEM TB and intake plenum), this design has the filter behind the front bar, but, the filter sits where the OEM duct heads into the front bar, and the standard aperture when the OEM ducting is removed allows the filter to pulled back out of the front bar into the engine bay for servicing, a simple blanking plate is used to seal the aperture behind the filter This will require a 45° silicone hose from the TB, like the alloy pipe that is currently there, to another 45° silicone hose to get a straight run to the aperture in the front bar Question: how will it effect the tune if I move the MAF about 100-150mm forward, the red is around where my MAF is currently, and the green would be where it would end up Like this This is the hole the filter goes through  Ends up like this LOL..Cheers    
    • Despite the level up question, actually I do know what that is....it is a pressure sender wire.  So check out around the oil filter for an oil pressure sender, or maybe fuel pressure near the filter or on the engine. Possibly but less likely coolant pressure sensor because they tend to be combined temp/pressure senders if you have one. Could also be brake pressure (in a brake line somewhere pre ABS) but maybe I'm the only one that has that on a skyline.
