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.

    • just an update to this, poor man pays twice  Tried sanding down the pulleys but it didnt do the trick. Chucked another second hand alternator in the na car which I got for free off my mate and its fixed the squelling. Must have been unlucky with the bearings.    As for my turbo car, I managed to pick up a cwc rb alternator conversion bracket + LS alternator for 250 off marketplace, looked to be in really good nick. Installed it , started the car and its not charging the battery.... ( Im not good with auto elec stuff so im not sure if this was all I needed to do but I verified such by using a multimeter on the battery when the engine was running and I was only getting 12.2v )   I had to modify the earth strap for the new LS alternator , factory earth strap was a 10mm bolt which did not fit the bolt on the LS alternator which was double the size so I cut it off , went to repco bought some ring terminals that fit, crimped it onto the old earth strap and bolted it up to the alternator , started the car and same issue. Ran like shit and was reading 12.2 at the battery.  For a "plug and play" advertised kit thats not very plug and play but alas.  My question is , am I missing something ? Ive been reading that some people recommend upgrading the stock 80 amp alternator fuse to a 140 amp but I dont see how that would stop the alternator charging especially at idle not under load.  Regardless ive pulled it out and am going to get it bench tested by an auto elec tomorrow but it would be handy to know if ive missed something silly or have done something wrong.   
    • My wild guess is that you have popped off an intake pipe....check all of the hoses between the turbo and the throttle for splits or loose clamps.
    • Awesome, thanks for sharing!
    • To provide more specific help, more information is needed. What Android screen? What is its wiring diagram? Does the car's wiring have power at any required BAT and ACC wires, and is the loom's earth good?
    • So, now all you need to do is connect the 2 or 3x 12v feeds into the unit to permanent 12v, ACC 12V and IGN 12V that you can find in the spot behind the stereo, and the earth, and then it will switch on with the car.
