If you can carry you shopping your not buying enough food. If you cannot carry your shopping your not lifting enough. And go.

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

      They are in fact just nozzles. They are there only to produce a spray pattern and limit flow. The injector itself is what I use to control flow to the 7x nozzles. My old system had no injector and only PWM the pump. This lead to a lot of inconsistencies, and poor atomization at low pressure when the pump was ramping up.

      J50 clock date suddenly reset to January 1

      By MBS206 · Posted

      With the system, once you drive it for a bit, and before you turn the car off, does the car fix its date and time? When you say the date is wrong, what date does the vehicle think it is, and does it always show the same date? My thoughts from a process driven view is; The system may be defaulting to a standard start date/time. The main reason you'd typically see this occuring, is the system is losing its constant/backup power supply.   If its always defaulting to the same date/time at start up, and especially if it fixes itself while driving, I'd say either the non volatile memory has an issue, or the power supply to the volatile memory that stores this information.   The other thing I'd check is if there is anywhere in the system you can adjust the date and time from. If the date/time is still moving forward since it wished you happy new year, then it is 100% possible the system has just had a bit of data corruption occur, and you likely need to find a way to reset the date/time in the vehicle.

      Jacks that fit under GTR lips that can reach the subframe?

      Scissor Jacks are an accident waiting to happen, the only time they should be used are in an roadside flat, even then a tyre and rim should be placed underneath
