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.

    • Pressure when IDLING, is meant to be 51PSi... So that amperage value needs to go up a fair chunk... I'd personally be factoring for more like 12amp at least on those runs, and at that point you need to hope the already there wiring doesn't drop you a volt or two, as that's a lot of fuel pressure flow drop off from 13.5 to 12V! Taking idle pressure of 51psi, means the pump will be drawing a MINIMUM of 9amps all the time based on your reading of the graph (3bar base, then allowing an extra 0.5bar for boost = roughly 51psi)
    • Hi all,  I am in the market for an R200 longnose diff out of a Z31 300ZX, or S12 RSX, DR30 skyline, or similar, in a 3.9 ratio.  Preferably a late model one with the M12 crownwheel bolts.  The only easy to find advert for one of these was my ad back in 2007 when I sold it on this forum.  I sold the diff as I had sold the car it goes to, but as it turns out, after 18 years I got the car back late last year, so now I'm looking for the diff !  If anyone knows where to find a longnose R200 LSD with the M12 crownwheel bolts, drop me a line at [email protected] - Bonus paid if soomeone comes up with the original diff (stranger things have happened !).  Cheers   Ben D    
    • Hi everyone, I used to post here a bit from 2004-2013, when I owned various Nissans, in particular my S12 RSX gazelle, which was sold in 2007.  As luck would have it, after an 18 year hiatus, the car found its way back to me last year, and over the past 11 months I have had the pleasure of restoring it with my kids.  One thing that I am after in particular is a 3.9 ratio R200 LSD for it.  I actually sold the one out of the car here back in 2007 , and it would be incredible if I could track down who I sold it to, so I can see how they have progressed over the years (and to be honest, to see whether I can get the diff back !).  Anyways, hi all and let me know "where are the R200 Longnose diffs all at these days ?  Cheers Ben D  
    • Arms will be the same as the G35 or 350Z, but as above, there was a change in the lower control arm where it connects to the ball joint.  That said, you can remove the ball joint cone from your old ball joints and fit them to the new ball joints.  To be honest, I didn't think the ball joints themselves were different. The main ball joint is a bit awkward to replace, you really need to remove the steering knuckle to press out the old one.  Some people have used tools to remove it in place, but it just seemed too hard to get to. If you are going to press out/in that ball joint, then you may as well just replace the bushings in the LCA and the compression rod.  You can buy the compression rod bushing from Nissan, but the LCA bushes, you will need to go aftermarket. Much cheaper than buying the whole arm.
    • Ha, well, it's been.... a bit of a journey. Things have taken much longer than I'd hoped. I'll probably put up a thread at some stage. Hopefully soon. The car's not done any kms since my update in June though, put it that way.
