Interesting whats common knowledge on one forum were on is a mystery on another hey Nick lol

I have a clinical psycologist lift here, a weightlifter who just won Bronze at the World Masters in Ukraine

He explained to me that denial is our strongest emotion

Interesting

Do you think balancing on a Bosu or doing a random CrossFit death circuit of the day is going to get you vastly stronger? If so, then, think again.

What are your thoughts on BCAA supplements? I usually just stick to protein & creatine, but a few of my mates are recommending I hit up a good dosage of BCAA as well.

I currently take ON Casein before bed and ON Gold morning and post workout. It seems to already have a good amount of BCAAs.

Thoughts?

I'm an amateur gym dude, nothing crazy yet.

Johhny - I bought a tub of Purple Wraath.

I'm not the HULK... yet..

purple lemonade is the flavour which DOESN'T taste like shit.

I have it in the morning as I'm trying intermittent fasting and therefore not eating breaky at the moment, and then during lifting.

I haven't noticed anything different.

As Mitch said, it tastes nice and I drink more water.

what are the benefits though?

Because from what I gather ON Gold Standard WPI has a good whack of BCAAs.. as per:

Lol powerlifters and bodybuilders/gym goers... Can't we all just get along?

Not going to give an opinion on BCAA's as I haven't used them enough to voice a proper opinion, although I tend to think my stamina has been ever so slightly better during workouts in which I've used Scivation Xtend. The only supplement I have used now which I really appreciate is CREATINE.

Yes even I've put down creatine before, but whether a placebo or not, my strength in the gym has been higher than usual.

On another topic,

INTERMITTENT FASTING:

Yay or Nay?

Has anyone actually tried it long enough to provide some decent feedback?

TTT, how are you finding it so far?

Unless your workouts are quite long, and/or you work out a few times a day you may find it won't have much of an effect if you're an amateur gym dude like you mentioned.

Tell your mates to stop being so stingy and try a couple serves of theirs before you potentially waste your money.

All protein powders are going to have bcaa in them.

The difference is with bcaa by themselves they are hydrolysed (broken into small peptide chains and individual amino acids) rather than being part of a huge long peptide chain. The benefit of that is they are absorbed faster because the body doesn't need to break heaps of peptide bonds with lots of different enzymes between individual amino acids to absorb them.

If you are interested in bcaa's have a read about them individually. Leucine is the most important, but it has been shown to work better in conjunction with isoleucine and valine.

Not sure what you meant by that quote :s

My sarcasm senses are tingling.

Hehe :)

I said a while back that I wouldn't recommend crossfit for someone pursuing outright strength and got torn apart for saying so. The same sentiment appears in a T Nation article and it's gospel :rolleyes:

Honestly though, unless your demands are high, whole foods are the way to go as some sources provide strong amino profiles.

    • I had a 1981 ALFA with an electronic speedo sender that would work for months at a time, and also noth work for months at a time.
    • Yes the gear for the R33/34 is different, it is red and has a different number of teeth. My part didn't come with that gear though, so I don't know how many teeth are on the red one. You'd have to reuse the 260RS/R33 gear, as long as it's not destroyed.   Haha, as unfortunate as that might be it was working fine for about the first 1500km I've had the car for now.
    • Update all   thanks to the workshop manual, it lead me back to checking fuses as mentioned central locking and door open lights worked when acc was switched on. diagram attached shows two points of power 1. ACC and 2.  Batt with the later being fused (#28) I did check the fuses using a multimeter but I must have stuffed that up also. Went back and checked the batt fuse in interior fuse box and you wouldn’t believe it… a blown fuse. replaced fuse and everything is now working as it should including the climate control   thank you all with your positive insight and knowledge.    
    • Where is the warning "That this thread is super old"   I just went into a 5 year old thread, went to do a reply, and couldn't see anywhere obvious a warning of it being super old
    • Duncan is correct. Pitwork (and Toyota's own cheap brand "Drive Joy") were primarily created as brands to sell other manufacturers car parts. It would be weird if Nissan sold parts for Toyota vehicles with a Nissan logo on it, so they created Pitwork to sell parts for other brans Toyota, Honda etc. They are not the same as Nissan genuine parts, although they *do* meet Nissan's standards for replacement parts. They aren't supposed to be a substitute for genuine parts, but a cheaper alternative that is better than Ebay fake parts from you-know-where.
