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

Has anyone tried Musashi Bulk? Ive tried looking for reviews but can't seem to find any.

I'm considering buying some...

Yeah I have used it quite a bit in the past. I consider it a pretty "safe" protein powder, as in it won't really mess with my gut (no creatine), and it's made by a proven, mainstream manufacturer. I used to use it in conjunction with Musashi 92, depending on the time of day or if it coincided with my workout. The Bulk has carbs, so it's better for pre or immediately post workout, while the 92 has very few carbs so it's better as a supp before bed, in the morning if you know you're having carbs for breakfast, or just as an in-between-meals protein shot.

You can definitely get both of those cheaper online rather than through the shops.

LOL

No, but if it's a daily and you need to keep driving it you don't drive it at 100% WOT until you've fixed the miss...

I get your point, all I was saying is that I'll avoid those movements right now until I've had a chance to get into physio, have it assessed and continue with recovery steps, in the mean time I can at least get a little leg work in with some lunges without straining that nerve/muscle/whatever it is.

I've got a holiday starting this Friday so can give it some rest then, be lucky if I see the gym at the hotel twice while I'm away.

You didn't have to edit out Laser GLI and change for Meteor either, I got it the first time :D

Squat - The exercise = deep squat.

Squat - The event = hip crease below knee height.

If you are not a competing lifter lifting a massive weight for 1 single rep - squat all the way down

Do a test.

load up your bar with whatever you squat for 10 reps and do 3 sets of 10 reps to parallel.

next session to the same weight and sets x reps but squat deep.

It will be harder and you will feel soreness you didn't with the parallel squats.

Foot position is not so important.

what ever makes your knees feel OK.

generally, they will point outwards.. probably closer to 30 degreese that 45.

Both deep and not-so deep (parallel or just below) squats can work.

There is debate over which is safer but, basically either done right will give an equivalent development.

Well respected athletes and coaches on both sides of the methods. Arguments are mostly on which is less injury risk.

I've done and had training on both. I believe either can be done safely enough but, like an advanced driving course squats are much better experienced with a few expert lessons. Whatever the instructor shows you , do that. It all works, just not so well if you have been coached (term used loosely)by people with bad habits themselves.

You could start a whole thread on discussing them that's for sure.

I'm not going to get around to setting it up until next week I reckon because I've just moved into my new home so I have a lot of other things to do (reason I haven't lifted/eat properly in over 2 months), lost 4kg....

I have weights and bar but I don't have a weight stack yet but will get one when I get around to it. I'm going to have the rack sitting on carpet, you reckon it's worth getting the matts for underneath?

Depends if you care about your carpets.

Rubber mats might also leave a stain on your carpets.

Dans idea of a carpet mat on top of the carpet might be a good idea.

If you give no fark for your carpets then don't bother.

Mine is outside on a stencilled concrete patio floor so I have rubbr mats even though my plates are rubber coated.

it protects both the floor and plates.

      After market rear camber arm adjustment

      By Duncan · Posted

      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

      I know I have to get a wheel alignment but until then I just need to bring the rear tyres in a bit they're wearing to the belt on the inside and brand new on the outside edge. I did shorten the arms a bit but got it wrong now after a few klms the Slip and VDC lights come on. I'd just like to get it to a point where I can drive for another week or two before getting an alignment. I've had to pay a lot of other stuff recently so doing it myself is my only option

      You just need a wheel alignment after, so just set them to the same as current and drive to the shop. As there are 2 upper links it may also be worth adding adjustable upper front links at the same time; these reduce bump steer when you move the camber (note that setting those correctly takes a lot longer as you have to recheck the camber at each length of the toe arm, through a range of movement, so you could just ignore that unless the handling becomes unpredictable)

      I got adjustable after market rear camber arm to replace the stock one's because got sick of having to buy new rear tyres every few months. Can anyone please let me know what the best adjustment length would be. I don't have the old ones anymore to get measurements. I'm guessing the stock measurement minus a few mm would do it. Please any help on replacing them would be fantastic I've watched the YouTube clips but no-one talks about how long to set the camber arm to.

      Heh. I copied the link to the video direct, instead of the thread I mentioned. But the video is the main value content anyway. Otherwise, yes, in Europe, surely you'd be expected to buy local. Being whichever flavour of Michelin, Continental or Pirelli suits your usage model.
