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

    • Hey. Very valuable information about pitwork, I will pay attention when buying any consumable parts 🙏 As for the carpets - I got a handful of information from nengun, from which it appears that indeed the carpets for the driver's side are OEM. They are not able to show me any pictures due to the long chain of different sales entities but after I place the order, as soon as the goods arrive at the nengun warehouse from which they will send the shipment to me they can send me photos and if my purchase differs from OEM I can immediately return it / cancel the purchase. I think I will give it a try 😉. Of course i'll let you know what's what as soon as i get them P.s. I know the topic is not relevant to the thread, but both nengun and amayama have these SICK 😍 trunk room lamps available. Do you know anyone who ordered them? I need to have one in my car
    • I've managed to find this: Nissan_Stagea_AutechVersion260RS (1).pdf
    • I believe @Duncan has given it a crack at Mt Buller before (in actual race conditions)
    • All my Polish car culture insight comes from watching Nightride. So I half expect this to get 1UZ swapped eventually?! Are you going to drive it in winter? I'm always curious how ATTESA would hold up in the snow. There isn't that much opportunity to try it in Australia.  
    • My steering lock unit on my Infiniti G37 has failed. The car is a local 2012 Infiniti G37 (Q60 ) I need to replace the unit My local mechanic said i need to buy a complete steering wheel assembly.
