What are shipping costs like?

As an example, the creatine I got was $5 more expensive else where but no shipping costs, same for my bulk WPI box, 4.5kg, $5 dearer at aminoz but no shipping cost (or already rolled in).

and you get reward points at Aminoz tp spend on the next purchase, negating the $5 difference in many cases.

EDIT: just saw this - http://www.proteinking.com.au/Delivery-Info

I'm better off else where, may be different for your products though.

You also score bonus junk if that matters at Amino, shakers, tape measures etc, random junk but it's free so who cares.

For everyone else, given WPC is a fair bit cheaper than WPI, any reason not to consider it if all I'm using it for is post work out to aid in better recovery.

I'm comparing this.

Which looks great value.

To my current product, which is this.

And the BN WP is FAR cheaper per KG, though I realise it's less filtered. Will it make that much of a difference?

The BN WPC is not that great. Average tast aside it did not mix very well and I hated the lumps when drinking. The WPI is much better with a better taste and mix ability. It's a US WPI but not as good as the original NZ stuff.

I imagine the Dymatise you use tastes pretty good (most big brand commercial ones do) so the BN WPC might take some getting used to.

But above all, the profile of the BN product is very good and the price hard to beat so up to you what's more important.

Yeah the Dymatize products do taste good and mix well.

How were you mixing the BN and with what? I've got a few different shakers with different inserts that have different levels of mixing power so to speak. I also find some mix better with milk than water or vice versa.

I guess the question is just as much about WPC vs WPI as it is about those two specific products so if there's another WPC that's worth considering let me know as the WPC is a lot cheaper on average.

Sorry for any typos, typing on the phone with cold fingers while walking the dog.

Aren't they really all more or less the same shit anyway? haha

On days I'm just not feeling it thanks to a long day at work and/or a shithouse sleep the night previous, I've got myself a tub of Buzz which I'll have a scoop of as well as emptying 2x 25mg DMAA caps into the mix. Does exactly what I need it to by simply helping me focus on actually doing my workout rather than sitting there like a zombie procrastinating.

My 2c

Also inb4 pre-workout haters.

I tried some Craze once and I will not deny it worked as expected, but the buzz is very unnatural and lasted well beyond the session (and that was only a half scoop) I didn't get to slepe until 2...

I just have a banana instead.

Yeah some pre-workout formulas are based way too strongly on a massive stimulant rush, which while it will make you feel a million bucks during your workout, will generally leave you feeling really mentally fried for hours after, while still ensuring you're not getting to sleep no matter how dead you are :P I love these ones, though unfortunately they will generally perpetuate the problem and subsequent need for the same supplement every day :(

In a normal shaker with water. The shaker had that little steel ball - the wpc needed a lot more mixing time than the wpi.

Where are you getting the dmaa caps from?

Yeah I've got one of those, and another one with a star shaped insert at the top, they both mix very differently and I found water/milk was also a factor.

I'll probably try it I run out of this, I'm not competitive lifter so if I can get all the protein with a touch more fat and a few more chunks for a stack less it could be a good thing.

Looking forward to all my new junk arriving.

 

Where are you getting the dmaa caps from?

 

Bought a bottle of 120 25mg caps nice n cheap the day after they were made illegal for sale. Can't necessarily attribute any increase in focus directly to the DMAA, though it does at the very least give a MASSIVE placebo effect that I can attribute much more productive/time efficient sessions to.

For weightloss I use 2 products..

1 is called Squats.

and the other is called not eating too much.

Cool story bro.

Both i do, Very well, Diet is very clean, and gym work well two times a day 5 days a week min. but sometimes you hit a wall as such and you dont gain or loose any more body fat.

Hydroycut pro was what i used before but yeah as always something in it gets banned they change recipe same case with this. Now trying to find the next decent thing.

Just received my foam roller, it's huge.

I think I underestimated the 15cm diameter.

Hopefully it's not "too" big so to speak in that I can't target my back spots properly but I guess that's just learning to use it.

This is the one.

    • Thanks for posting, your engine bay looks tops. I'm fairly sure you posted the wrong video though, I think you were supposed to upload the one from your "private test road" where it's banging off the limiter with the gate open?
    • This is something to be careful of. I did a bit of digging on the NM35, as I spend a lot of time on near brand new cars and CANBus related stuff, which uses the same "OBD2" plug for a fair chunk of making my life easy. The NM35, does NOT support OBD2. The data pin is actually on Pin3, which is a manufacturer specific pin, and requires Consult3 to connect to the NM35. Your low voltage, is either because the NM35 doesn't have 12V to the constant power pin on the J1962 (OBD2) connector, OR, it is attempting the standard comms, (CanBus, K Line, etc) and can't see any voltage on those pins. Some people have had success accessing SOME data from the vehicle on OBD2 specification, using a module that supports KPW. My assumption, like Duncan has stated, it will likely actually be JOBD, where there is some cross over with the OBD2 and JOBD standards. Note, lots of "OBD2" dongles, do NOT support KPW, which is what you need for a lot of Japanese vehicles of this era (And even up until recent years!), EG, Subaru, Suzuki, etc.    The end of this thread is probably worth a read, as some people did find a way to get a display up in the NM35 recently, looks like someone implemented all the stuff needed to make it work. (The right protocols).  
    • Depending on the purpose of the car, and how much more fabbing you want to do, and what clearances you have, you could look to raise the motor, which will raise the front diff up. Likely would mean altering the chassis rails etc etc, hence the more fab work you'd need to do. However, this can create issues, not just in clearance with everything fitting under the bonnet, but you've also raised a LOT of weight up in the car, and this will DEFINITELY alter handling characteristics (But, so will how much weight you've already added to the front end). You'll also have to deal with the fact the gearbox to rear diff is now out of alignment too for the tail shaft, and alter the angle of the diff, or deal with a bit of potential vibration. Raising the motor an inch up, is effectively the same as making the whole car sit higher by not lowering it as far. So one inch higher motor, theoretically means you can drop the car an extra inch lower, and maintain the same angles in the CVs. Again, depends on the purpose of the car. If it's a just cruiser on the street car, maybe won't be an issue. If it's meant to be a time attack car, I can see you not wanting to raise the motor. This is just for you to ponder as an idea.
    • Have you not seen geospy.ai? It can now give GPS co ords to within a metre from a photo, even if it's a random photo you take inside. Supposedly at the moment only the government/law enforcement has access to that... Supposedly...
    • I've got the rear ones, they're certainly beefy. I need to take them to my driveshaft guru to check over, he's very fussy about the quality of components so I'll let you know if they are made of cheese by a blind man.   Are you in Australia? A mate just had a set of EN26 shafts made for his K20 Lotus by our fabricator which were quite cheap (compared to Driveshaft Shop) so if you can procure the CV's and draw what you need he'd make them for ~$800 for the pair.
