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.

    • 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.
    • Place the new daughterboard in the case and mount it using the 3 small black rivets provided, and reconnect the 3 factory ribbon cables to the new board Then, use the 3 piggyback cables from the daughterboard into the factory board on top (there are stand offs in the case to keep them apart. and remember to reconnect the antenna and rear cover fan wires. 1 screw to hold the motherboard in place. Before closing the case, make a hole in the sticker covering a hole in the case and run the cable for the android unit into the plug there. The video forgot this step, so did I, so will you probably. Then redo the 4 screws on back, 2 each top and bottom, 3 each side and put the 2 brackets back on.....all ready to go and not that tricky really.      
    • Onto the android unit. You need to remove the top screen because there is a daughterboard to put inside the case. Each side vent pops out from clips; start at the bottom and carefully remove upwards (use a trim remover tool to avoid breaking anything). Then the lower screen and controls come out, 4 screws, a couple of clips (including 3 flimsy ones at the top) and 3 plugs on the rear. Then the upper screen, 4 screws and a bunch of plugs and she is out. From there, remove the mounting brackets (2 screws each), 4 screws on the rear, 2 screws top and bottom and 3 screws holding in the small plates on each side. When you remove the back cover (tight fit), watch out for the power cable for the fan, I removed it so I could put the back aside. The mainboard is held in by 1 screw in the middle, 1 aerial at the top and 3 ribbon cables. If you've ever done any laptop stuff the ribbon cables are OK to work with, just pop up the retainer and they slide out. If you are not familiar just grab a 12 year old from an iphone factory, they will know how it works The case should now look like this:
    • Switching the console was tricky. First there were 6 screws to remove, and also the little adapter loom and its screws had to come out. Also don't forget to remove the 2 screws holding the central locking receiver. Then there are 4 clips on either side....these were very tight in this case and needed careful persuading with a long flat screw driver....some force required but not enough to break them...this was probably the fiddliest part of the whole job. In my case I needed both the wiring loom and the central locking receiver module to swap across to the new one. That was it for the console, so "assembly is the reverse of disassembly"
    • But first....while I was there, I also swapped across the centre console box for the other style where the AV inputs don't intrude into the (very limited !) space.  Part# was 96926-4GA0A, 284H3-4GA0B, 284H3-4GA0A. (I've already swapped the top 12v socket for a USB bulkhead in this pic, it fit the hole without modification:) Comparison of the 2: Basically to do the console you need to remove the DS and PS side console trim (they slide up and back, held in by clips only) Then remove the back half of the console top trim with the cupholders, pops up, all clips again but be careful at the front as it is pretty flimsy. Then slide the shifter boot down, remove the spring clip, loose it forever somewhere in the car the pull the shift knob off. Remove the tiny plastic piece on DS near "P" and use something thin and long (most screwdrivers won't fit) to push down the interlock and put the shifter down in D for space. There is one screw at the front, then the shifter surround and ashtray lift up. There are 3 or 4 plugs underneath and it is off. Next is the rear cover of the centre console; you need to open the console lid, pop off the trim covering the lid hinge and undo the 2rd screw from the driver's side (the rest all need to come out later so you can do them all now and remove the lid) Then the rear cover unclips (6 clips), start at the top with a trim tool pulling backwards. Once it is off there are 2 screws facing rearwards to remove (need a short phillips for these) and you are done with the rear of the console. There are 4 plugs at the A/V box to unclip Then there are 2 screws at the front of the console, and 2 clips (pull up and back) and the console will come out.
