I have an extremely high tolerance to pre-workouts or in general...stimulants etc.

I tried Craze for a while but needed 4-5 scoops to really feel it. This is coming from someone who was using 200mcg of clenbuterol each day and eventually became completely immune to it as well as DMAA. So instead I simply finish work, train than eat some good solid carbs and protein. For almost 2 months I haven't had any supplements whatsoever. Old school is the way to go :)

you've definitely changed your opinion then...

Here is a thought to consider. I make some assumptions here so take from it what you will.

How much do you rely on the stimulant pre-workout to give your best effort in physical performance?

If you are saying you don't do as well without one, then you are likely not even close to your limit.

Not trying to sound too harsh here but, It's a mental crutch. You are waiting for some kind of buzz to tell you it's now ok to pick up a weight.

You are the one lifting the weights when you are taking it, not the suppliment. Once you realise that ,you can pocket the money and buy some beer on the weekend with it.

Funnily, we're talking about PWO supps being a waste of money with regards to fitness....so instead you suggest the consumption of alcohol? hahaha :P

Good point. They are both un-related to fitness, except one pretends to be and isn't.

Didn't know clen had a pre-workout type effect?

Used wraps for the first time since August last year for squats...

man.. don't miss that pain.

and that was with half arsed wrapping.

good rebound though.

and the tightness gives a nice secure feeling when you look past the burning pain on the back of the knee.. lol

Never if you don't need to.

I've only done a best of 150kg for 3 sets of 5 squats without wraps.

Program had me doing 145 last week and 152.5 this week

so I started using them this week and will keep doing so till the comp in April.

I think you get used to them after a while... just like your hands get used to deadlifts.

I've seen blood on some peoples legs before and lots of bruises.

I had Scott at PTC Brisbane wrap me once leading up to last years Nats.

he goes, how tight do you want them?

I told him to go easy first time since I'm used to wrapping myself.

He goes ok I'll go about 50%

This 50% managed to get 2 extra loops around the knee then when I wrap "tight" at home myself..... It hurt like hell.. lol

And my wraps are the 2 meter ones which are well used Inzer ones.... compared to the 2.5 others use.

Hopefully I'll better my last PB at a slightly lighter bodyweight come April.

  • 2 weeks later...

Going back on SS until I hit 180kg dl, 140kg squat, 100kg bench. Didn't feel like I was getting anywhere on the other program I was on, progression felt too slow.

I have been on the same program for about a month now, lifts have improved but my biggest issue is the gyms weight. I have to go up with 2.5kg increments rather then the 1.25 that is suggested.

Have plateaued on bench already at 60kg which I am trying to get past. Always sucked at bench for some reason, always get to 60kg and struggle to go up any further.

Weak shoulder girdle muscles is the reason. I can tell you that a good way (other ways get there too) to get your bench max up is the following ;

a) stop doing bench press

b) Start doing work on your shoulder,.scapular and rotator cuff strength and flexibillity.

c) Gradually incorporate strict press movements

d) when you can do your bodyweight on a strict press then you can think about bench press.

e) You are only allowed to 'think' about bench press until someone shows you how to do them properly, then you can 'do' them.

Do something like this and that plateu is going to be history. Also you are going to have much better muscle balance and less risk of injury as the weight goes up.

    • 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)
    • Yeah, shame. Maybe  driver's carpet is available 🙏. I am waiting for both amayama and nangun to confirm.
