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.

      What brakes on R34 GTT(Europe)

      I would just put EBC back on the "I would not use their stuff" pile and move on.

      Can I suggest you try EBC directly again and link them to as many competitor catalogues as you can to show their listing is incorrect, eg https://dba.com.au/product/front-4000-series-hd-brake-rotor-dba42304/ If you have access to an R33 GTST VIN and your VIN, you could also use a Nissan Parts lookup like Amayama to show them the part number is different between 33 GTST and 34 GTT which may get their attention

      So i got reply from EBC and they just this site where you can clearly see those 296mm fronts on R34 GTT. I send them photos and "quotes" that 296mm are not for 34 GTT and they are too small. But it will be very hard to return them cuz nobody here knows 100% and they just copy those EBC catalogue :-D https://ebcbrakesdirect.com/automotive/nissan/skyline-r34

      From there, it is really just test and assemble. Plug the adapter cables from the unit into the back of the screen, then the other side to the car harness. Don't forget all the other plugs too! Run the cables behind the unit and screw it back into place (4 screws) and you should now have 3 cables to run from the top screen to the android unit. I ran them along the DS of the other AV units in the gap between their backets and the console, and used some corrugated tubing on the sharp edges of the bracket so the wires were safe. Plug the centre console and lower screen in temporarily and turn the car to ACC, the AV should fire up as normal. Hold the back button for 3 sec and Android should appear on the top screen. You need to set the input to Aux for audio (more on that later). I put the unit under the AC duct in the centre console, with the wifi antenna on top of the AC duct near the shifter, the bluetooth antenna on the AC duct under the centre console The GPS unit on top of the DS to AC duct; they all seem to work OK there are are out of the way. Neat cable routing is a pain. For the drive recorder I mounted it near the rear view mirror and run the cable in the headlining, across the a pillar and then down the inside of the a pillar seal to the DS lower dash. From there it goes across and to one USB input for the unit. The second USB input is attached to the ECUtec OBD dongle and the 3rd goes to the USB bulkhead connected I added in the centre console. This is how the centre console looks "tidied" up Note I didn't install the provided speaker, didn't use the 2.5mm IPod in line or the piggyback loom for the Ipod or change any DIP switches; they seem to only be required if you need to use the Ipod input rather than the AUX input. That's it, install done, I'll follow up with a separate post on how the unit works, but in summary it retains all factory functions and inputs (so I still use my phone to the car for calls), reverse still works like factory etc.
