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.

    • Haha I do that.. thats when it chirps..The bit point for me is almost non-existent. Otherwise I stall it. But yes, in terms of performance, the clutch is solid af.
    • Greg speaks wisdom. These dirty old Datsuns are only value when they are cheap. When they are not cheap, there is no value. Sounds contradictory, but it's true. We are now 20 years past the hey day of modifying cheap 90s JDM cars for small amounts of money. This is a different world. If you are rich and can afford not to care about what is effectively wasting money on an old Datto shitter, then I have no reason to argue against it. But if you are wanting to experience what we all experienced back in 2005 (and I bought my car last century!) then there is no way to do it.
    • Short answer: No. Medium answer: No, because you still need to conjure the things out of thin air to bolt them to a NA to make it a NA+T. Long Answer: No - The things you need to conjure - meaning a turbo, intercooling, manifolds, exhaust, intake/manifold/piping, clutch, injectors, fuel pump, AFM (?), ECU + Wiring (woo, N/A loom fun) have to come from somewhere. You could have many scavenged these things from an OEM car that someone had upgraded from and use some of these. This will be cost prohibitive now, especially so in the USA. You'd probably pay the same for newer, upgraded components that are better than old OEM stuff from 25-30 years ago. None of these big ticket items are re-usable for the N/A car. Why not buy new and upgrade while you're there? The only real consideration is turbo and fuel sizing and determining whether you want to stay within the bounds of the OEM engine or get into rebuild territory. These limits ARE lower with a N/A motor and especially N/A gearbox at the starting point. And if you're gonna upgrade those then you may as well consider having them built to begin with. Because everyone here knows you're never far from that next engine rebuild once you start making the power you want... The cars you see on the internet and SAU etc have been built over decades. If you're really clued in... you would sell your US car to somebody for what you paid for it. You would then scour AU JDM pages or SAU and buy a car like Dose's on this forum with your powerful American Dollar. This will save you so much money in the long term. Importing it could be tricky. Or it might not because USA. I have long said the only reason 90's Japanese stuff took off was because a) Japanese people had Japanese cars so that is what they used b) Australians could import these cars to Australia with very minimal changes and use them on the road here c) Neither country had well-priced access to US or EU Sports Cars. I don't believe the JDM scene would have taken off in Australia at all if we had EU priced EU BMW M offerings, or more especially the AUS V8 Scene would never have existed if we had the multitude of US cars like Camaros, Mustangs, Corvettes at the prices you folks do. After all - Do the math. I would say put a V8 in your R34 and that's the smart way forward. It is. I did it. I know this from my own experience. But at that point there's no reason to simply not buy a C5 or C6? It would be simpler and easier and cheaper and bette-
    • Reading all this... hurts lol. I have an ENR34 5MT and I paid an inflated USA price for the car alone, had to do tons of preventative maintenance past that, and so I'm over $30K USD into the car already and haven't even touched power.  I wanted to +t it. Not even trying to make GTR numbers, I'd be happy with 250hp.  Can I get away with paying much less to make that happen?
    • Damn you’ve done well, definitely snapping necks.
