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.

    • Have you done your thinking backwards? 3 bar, 43.5 psi pressure drop being the presumed specification for an injector, means you need 3 bar upstream when they are firing into atmospheric pressure, and more upstream pressure than that when on boost (you add your boost to your rail pressure to maintain 3 bar across the injector) and you need..... less pressure upstream when you have vacuum in the manifold. So, presuming that you're idling at -10 psi, then you only need ~23 psi in the rail. I realise that I did not need to say all of that to you specifically Matt, once you'd realised your mistake. It's mostly there for complete clarity for others.
    • Have you reached out to the guys at Spool Imports? They are a Ross dealer, I can imagine they would have the rings just sitting on the shelf (I could be wrong).  
    • There's one for sale at Grand Auto Wreckers in Lonsdale (SA), for .... let's suggest the sum they're asking for will make you cry. You may have to embrace the idea of modifying the rear subframe to accept some other diff. You could probably find a way to wangle a shortnose into there, with a custom rear adapter and some sort of shenanigans to relocate the front mounts. This has probably already been done by others, so there might be some guidance available as to how easy/impossible it is, out there in the googles. But you possibly needn't restrict yourself to Nissan diffs if you're going to contemplate that. There are similarish Toyota diffs, possibly some Euro ones, possibly some Seppo ones.
    • The ball joint taper and arm taper have to match angle and diameter, but just doing the bushes is a much better option.....seems like the industry moved to "it is cheaper to replace the whole arm than take on the labour for changing this bushes", glad the aftermarket supports it
    • Gee she looks a bit rear heavy in that first pic! Sounds like a great project with the kids, but as I guess you know R series stuff is getting hard to find and pre that is pretty much impossible these days
