Dude really dude?

OMG dude.

you read the 4 lines I wrote and decided to quote that one which started with "My opinion"?

Also, if he didn't care about who much he lifted, why did he post about his gains in strength multiple times?

Yes, yes i did pick the line where you expressed your typical big-headed opinion where you just had to drop in the "doing it wrong" statement, like you're an expert on this topic... hate to get sand up in your vagina too when someone points out how you could be a little less to-the-point :no:

In regards to your second statement about him posting strength gains, he was confirming the typical results of a steroid cycle to answer our curiosity, and I also ASKED for some feedback on that.

Try to be a little more thoughtful with your responses next time Doc.

Recently started taking some Syntec - Ground Zero as a pre-workout.

Tastes delicious and definitely gets you pumped up a bit, haven't tried the more popular ones liked Jack3d so can't really compare as yet.

Beta Alanine kinda shits me a little though, tingles irritate me.

:thumbsup: lifting without the girly 'workout gloves'

People think thats how you avoid calisus but, as you discovered it's easy just to rip them off by lifting heavier ha ha..

An old Navy buddy once told me " gloves are for fags"

.... Not really, principal remains the same :D

Cheers on the comments. Everyone is free to express opinions. Doesn't matter what the topic is, there will always be positive and negative feedback

Now onto pre-workouts. I've used many pre-workouts and have found the best one that worked for me was Jack3d. I've tried non-1,3-Dimethylamylamine products and definitely have to say that it's the stimulant that's doing the job. The problem is you get addicted to it and end up crashing if you miss using it during one of your workouts like I have experienced after using 3 scoops at one stage of Jack3d.

Some people are using it on its own in high doses and are definitely experiencing some unwanted side-effects hence why pre-workouts with DMAA are very small scoops. It's much cheaper buying DMAA on its own. I heard that it's banned or going to be banned in Australia, not sure though. So if your using pure DMAA, beta-alanine and caffeine just be mindful on the doses.

Yep ban is now here, retail stores now being "ordered to clear stock" So if you are into it, i highly recommend to get some.

That said, i still remember Muscletech Acetabolyn i think it was called, was really good, then got recalled. Then acetabolyn II came out.

No doubt Jack 3d will be out again, just will be minus the DMAA, more like an NO Xplode mix.

VspecII i aplaud you for your honestly and sincerity in what can be a controversial issue. Not to say I condone the use of it, but I do appreciate you letting members know your experiences.

Just remember for your benefit these are public forums.

P.S. just read a few articles regarding a lot of aussies going on holiday to Thailand for a "roid holiday" for 6 weeks, the money they save in getting it in Thailand the holiday nearly pays for itself.

Gotta admit (other than the roids) its not a bad idea to spend a holiday, going hard at the gym surrounded by beautiful beaches and cheap shopping and living like a king in beautiful accomodation.

This might be of interest to people here..

So some young lad had access to the equipment necessary to test protein powders - specifically, their claimed amount of protein.

The results are pretty interesting

All the samples were sent to him by people - so I guess there is a chance that someone might have contaminated the sample but I don't see why you'd bother.

Anyone taking any pea, egg or BOVINE COLOSTRUM protein? (bulknutrients.com.au)

The reason i ask is because they're lactose/gluten free. The reason Im trying to avoid lactose/gluten is because I feel a lot better not having it.

Interesting stuff. Thanks for posting. The only one I've used in that list is Optimum's Gold std 100% whey. Seemed good enough, but was pretty expensive.

Optimum always seem to be the most regularly sold protein and i guess those results confirm why. Still is a little off from what they advertise but good to see some of their products near the top of the ladder, still as mentioned there is a lot of testing control gone astray in those results but interesting nevertheless.

Bodybuilding.com has had optimum as its number 1 protein for yonks now: http://www.bodybuilding.com/store/opt/whey.html

Does anyone ever get headaches / hangover feeling from certain proteins or supplements? My favourite brand of all-in-one supplement has changed something about their mixture (hadn't ordered from them for nearly 2 years) - this one smells kind of fishy and clumps up a bit more than the previous mixture, despite the breakdown label and taste being much the same. In the first week of using it I had some slight headaches on and off, but could just be coincidence, I might have had a bug for that week.

I have experienced similar thing (headaches/nausea) but it was caused from urea level being too high from not drinking enough water.

Cell Tech creatine used to do that too me, i would place it down to your body maybe adjusting to it? but if its the same brand then that is strange. Did you say all the values etc are the same? does it contain creatine?

Bit of a different way of looking it at, but how is work? Have you had in recent changes that could cause stress or anxiety? Also irons levels checked lately?

You will be surprised what stress and anxiety can do....

Everything else is static (I live a fairly OCD life), I can't really put it down to anything else but a bug or the protein. It does contain creatine, both versions did. The values are the same maybe +/- 5% variation. There are a couple of new ingredients to the new one, but nothing that stood out to me as a possible determinant, will post them if you think that helps. Will see how I go with it this week.

Whatever dude, stop making excuses for being fat.

    • Update 3: Hi all It's been a while. Quite a lot of things happened in the meantime, among other things the car is (almost) back together and ready to be started again. Things that I fixed or changed: Full turbo removal, fitting back the OEM turbo oil hardlines. Had to do quite a bit of research and parts shopping to get every last piece that I need and make it work with the GT2860 turbos, but it does work and is not hard to do. Proves that the previous owner(s) just did not want to. While I was there I set the preload for the wastegates to 0,9bar to hopefully make it easier for the tuner to hit the 370hp I need for the legal inspections that will follow later on. Boost can always go up if necessary. Fitted a AN10 line from the catch can to the intake hose to make the catchcan and hopefully the cam covers a slight vacuum to have less restrictive oil returns from the head and not have mud build up as harshly in the lines and catch can. Removed the entire front interior just shy of the dashboard itself to clean up some of the absolutely horrendous wiring, (hopefully) fix the bumpy tacho and put in LED bulbs while I was there. Also put in bulbs where there was none before, like the airbag one. I also used that chance to remove the LED rpm gauge on the steering column, which was also wired in absolute horror show fashion. Moved the 4in1 Prosport gauge from sitting in front of the OEM oil pressure gauge to the center console vents, I used a 3D printed vent piece to hold that gauge there. The HKB steering wheel boss was likely on incorrectly as I sometimes noticed the indicator reset being uneven for left vs. right. In the meantime also installed an airbag delete resistor, as one should. Installed Cube Speed premium short shifter. Feels pretty nice, hope it'll work great too when I actually get to drive. Also put on a fancy Dragon Ball shift knob, cause why not. My buddy was kind enough to weld the rust hole in the back, it was basically rusted through in the lowermost corner of the passenger side trunk area where the wheel arch, trunk panel and rear quarter all meet. Obviously there is still a lot of crustiness in various areas but as long as it's not rusted out I'll just treat and isolate the corrosion and pretend it's not there. Also had to put down a new ground wire for the rear subframe as the original one was BARELY there. Probably a bit controversial depending on who you ask about this... but I ended up just covering the crack in the side of the engine block, the one above the oil feed, with JB Weld. I used a generous amount and roughed up the whole area with a Dremel before, so I hope this will hold the coolant where it should be for the foreseeable future. Did a cam cover gasket job as the half moons were a bit leaky, and there too one could see the people who worked on this car before me were absolute tools. The same half moons were probably used like 3 times without even cleaning the old RTV off. Dremeled out the inside of the flange where the turbine housing mates onto the exhaust manifolds so the diameter matches, as the OEM exhaust manifolds are even narrower than the turbine housings as we all know. Even if this doesn't do much, I had them out anyways, so can't harm. Ideally one would port-match both the turbo and the manifold to the gasket size but I really didn't feel up to disassembling the turbine housings. Wrapped turbo outlet dumps in heat wrap band. Will do the frontpipe again as well as now the oil leak which promted me to tear apart half the engine in the first place is hopefully fixed. Fitted an ATI super damper to get rid of the worn old harmonic balancer. Surely one of the easiest and most worth to do mods. But torquing that ARP bolt to spec was a bitch without being able to lock the flywheel. Did some minor adjustments in the ECU tables to change some things I didn't like, like the launch control that was ALWAYS active. Treated rusty spots and surface corrosion on places I could get to and on many spots under the car, not pretty or ideal but good enough for now. Removed the N1 rear spats and the carbon surrounding for the tailpipe to put them back on with new adhesive as the old one was lifting in many spots, not pretty. Took out the passenger rear lamp housing... what do you know. Amateur work screwed me again here as they were glued in hard and removing it took a lot of force, so I broke one of the housing bolts off. And when removing the adhesive from the chassis the paint came right off too. Thankfully all the damaged area won't be visible later, but whoever did the very limited bodywork on this car needs to have their limbs chopped off piece by piece.   Quite a list if I do say so myself, but a lot of time was spent just discovering new shit that is wrong with the car and finding a solution or parts to fix it. My last problem that I now have the headache of dealing with is that the exhaust studs on the turbo outlets are M10x1.25 threaded, but the previous owner already put on regular M10 nuts so the threads are... weird. I only found this out the hard way. So now I will just try if I can in any way fit the front pipe regardless, if not I'll have to redo the studs with the turbos installed. Lesson learned for the future: Redo ALL studs you put your hands on, especially if they are old and the previous owners were inept maniacs. Thanks for reading if you did, will update when the engine runs again. Hope nothing breaks or leaks and I can do a test drive.
    • No those pads are DBA too  but they have colors too. I look at the and imo the green "street" are the best.
    • I’m not sure what happened I told them about sonic tunes free OTS tune and the next the I know .. I was booted..   To funny 
    • Yea - I mean I've seen my fuel pump which is decades old and uh, while I'm not saying this with real knowledge... but I sure get the ick at using anything in the fuel system that produced the state of that pump. Many years ago I went through multiple pumps (and strainers) before I dropped the tank to clean it out with extreme violence. I'm talking the car would do maybe 50km before coming to a halt, which resulted in me cleaning out the filter with some brake cleaner and going on my way. None of my stuff ever looked like what came out of your fuel tank. I don't think I'd be happy with it unless every single component was replaced (or at least checked/cleaned/confirmed to be clean here).
