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’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).
    • I'm not going to recommend an EBC pad. I don't like them. Just about anything else would suit me better. I've been using Intima pads for a while now.
    • Agreed, and in particular the earth strap that should go from the subframe to the chassis but it often broken or left off. There is a section in the R32 workshop manual you can follow for troubleshooting if you don't see anything suspicious, and depending where you are (there is no location on your user profile) you should be able to get your hands on a second hand replacement unit still if needed
    • Yeah they mention as a R34 for 2.5 Turbo...but then again thos "small" were also for R34 by that different site. But i look into it and that 310mm EBC is for R34 GTT. And by those you linked the specs are the same 🙂    EDIT: I found these on one site here: DBA 4000 series T3 DBA42304S They are 310mm...and it says are for R34GTT...are there good? EDIT2: ok they have pads too.  What "color" should i get for street use? I dont want/need some noisy ones...(and if they are not that dusty that is good too)
