Hmmm, might even be best speaking to Terry about this one, I like to think i know a lot about supplements but still nothing in comparison to him. Dont want to lead you down a garden path if im not 100% correct.

All good man, appreciate the insight regardless.

lol fk off Troy ya tub of lard :P

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.

Sounds like a bad batch and you should return it to the store Birds? Did you buy more than one tub (check the other)? If it smells fishy that's no good.

Can't say I've really had headaches from supplements, only sleep deprivation from the caffeine.

  • 2 weeks later...

This thread is starting to look dead so thought i would add some of my progress...

Recently started a 5x5 program to change it up a bit. The idea being 5s sets of 5 reps so obviulsy heavy. Then try small prigressions in weight for the next session

The key focus for these lifts are 100% technique and full range of motion. This is important so I dont cheat in the rep just so I can say I got all my reps and it's time to up the weight next session.. Upping the weight should really only occur when all reps can be completed without a spot or maybe failing in the last rep of the last set.

I've found this routine to be pretty good, done 4 weeks now so will probably only do another 1-2 weeks before changing it again..

Some examples of progress are

Weighted heaves

Started at 10kg doing 5x5

Last session was 20kg 5x5 with a fail on the last rep of 5th set

Weighted dips

Started at 20kg

Last session was 40kg 5x5

Deadlifts

Started at 140kg 5x5

Last night did 150 5x5 (really should of done 155 I reckon but pussied out)

Barbell lung walks

Started at 50kg 5x5 (5each leg so 10 reps)

Last session 65kg 5x5

Squats would be a good one but I've revised my technique so really I've gone backwards

What's your weight?

I'm almost there myself; couple kilos off. Granted, I only attempt the 1RM after my 6 sets (OCD thing).

Some might be pleased to know I've relaxed my philosophy on restricting what I lift in order to keep my body weight down and balance the body shape. Have let lats do what they want (haven't stepped these up for 2 years), 5th and 6th sets on pulldown are now 220 pounds instead of 200...another 30 pounds and I've cleared the whole stack teehee.

Might have to look at weighted pull ups then!

Competed at GPC Nationals about a week ago.

Weighed in at 91.4kg

Squat - 190kg

Bench - 110 kg lol

Dead - 220kg

All PBs for a proper 3 lift comp.

As single lifts, the squat was a 5kg pb, bench was 5kg under pb, dead was 2.2kg under pb.

Most importantly I didn't cripple myself.

Next one is end of August. Hopefully bench will improve if I can complete my lifting plan without elbows and shoulders falling apart.

decent lifts.

First session back in the gym for a couple weeks. Must say the lack of diet and training for the period has hurt my progress. Was much weaker then before and have noticed it in my appearance.

Not to worry, hopefully wont take me long to get back to where I was and keep on going after that.

I fire the same question at you Birds, what is your weight?

Currently 80kg @ 6'3

1RM for bench is 115, done after my usual 6 set workout and taken to an inch from my chest. Tried for 120 but failed half way back up...confident I could pull it off with just a warm up and straight into the 1RM!

Can anyone here strict military press their own body weight? That would be impressive

1 rep? In front or behind neck? Doubt I could do my own weight behind neck, but again, it's an exercise I've left dorment with regard to stepping up. Might start increasing it now that I'm doing that with every other exercise.

    • My guesstimate, with no real numbers to back it up, is it won't effect it greatly at all.its not a huge change in position, and I can't see the air flow changing from in turbulence that much based on distance, and what's in front of it. Johnny and Brad may have some more numbers to share from experience though.
    • Which solenoid? Why was it changed? Again, why was this done? ...well, these wear..but ultimately, why was it changed? Did you reset the idle voltage level after fitment? I'm just a tad confused ~ the flash code doesn't allude to these items being faulty, so in my mind the only reason to change these things, would be some drive-ability issue....and if that's the case, what was the problem? Those questions aside, check if the dropping resistor is OK ...should be 11~14 ohms (TCU doesn't throw a flash code for this) ~ also, these TCU designs have full time power (to keep fault code RAM alive), and I think that'll throw a logic code (as opposed to the 10 hardware codes), if that power is missing (or the ram has gone bad in the TCU, which you can check..but that's another story here perhaps).
    • Question for people who "know stuff" I am looking at doing the new intake like the one in the picture (the pictured is designed for the OEM TB and intake plenum), this design has the filter behind the front bar, but, the filter sits where the OEM duct heads into the front bar, and the standard aperture when the OEM ducting is removed allows the filter to pulled back out of the front bar into the engine bay for servicing, a simple blanking plate is used to seal the aperture behind the filter This will require a 45° silicone hose from the TB, like the alloy pipe that is currently there, to another 45° silicone hose to get a straight run to the aperture in the front bar Question: how will it effect the tune if I move the MAF about 100-150mm forward, the red is around where my MAF is currently, and the green would be where it would end up Like this This is the hole the filter goes through  Ends up like this LOL..Cheers    
    • Despite the level up question, actually I do know what that is....it is a pressure sender wire.  So check out around the oil filter for an oil pressure sender, or maybe fuel pressure near the filter or on the engine. Possibly but less likely coolant pressure sensor because they tend to be combined temp/pressure senders if you have one. Could also be brake pressure (in a brake line somewhere pre ABS) but maybe I'm the only one that has that on a skyline.
    • Pull codes via the self-diagnosis procedure. As far as I can tell this is just a sign of transmission issues but not a code unto itself.
