I'd be very wary about training on a REAL stim like speed or cocaine. Could definitely push too far without realising it and end up passing out haha

Example: while under the influence of coke (when in Rome....or Berlin as it were), I managed to beat the elevator in the hostel up 7 floors while I took the stairs. That kind of "energy" is dangerous haha

Yeah, what Tolga said. What you're looking for should only be used on the odd occasion you're run down from lack of sleep or just a busy day. Long term energy problem are either going to be chronic fatigue/consistent sleep loss, or just a shitty diet. Any other possible causes will definitely not be fixed by an energy drink as they're either illness related or hormonal.

Just eat more.

The more I eat the more lethargic I get.

Just a pre-workout of some sort...pretty much full of caffeine and x chemicals, commonly used by people deficient in food and sleep.

This sounds about right.

Essentially, just looking for a jump start to get me back into rhythm and then should be off the stuff. Seriously feels like my metabolism is working at 1 10th and it's pissing me right off!

Will look into Mesomorph. Not looking for a long term supply, just a quick boost for a week or two. Anything else?

Then you're eating the wrong food for the occasion. I know exactly what you mean here - there's a lot of things I can eat that will make me want to do nothing but sit and vegetate haha. Just gotta eat the right foods at the right time so they don't interfere with your training. Unfortunately depending on your digestive system etc, this can be kinda difficult to do...

Spur of the moment vid. Sorry if you can't see everything.

Is this semi ok for the lowering phase? This time I'm trying to bend at the hips first and clear knees before bending knees.

Bar is touching thighs and shins up and down. This felt bit better back wise.

I prefer to train in the mornings. When I've been dedicated to going to the gym, it's been at 5-6am (the primary reason I changed to Jetts from Fitness First). Partially has to do with having a dad who's ex-military... also has to do with me liking regularity in my regime. Work can finish anywhere from 5-midnight so makes it tougher to stick to a schedule.

With that said, one of the guys that used to work with us had this supplement that was also an energy lifter. He wouldn't drink coffee at work in the mornings because this stuff had him going.

Anyone know what I'm talking about? Have been feeling my energy levels steadily depleting over the last 12 months and could do with a boost to get me back into my routine. If it helps, the stuff he was using was in a white bottle, with black label and red writing.... as generic as that is..

Any help would be appreciated!

any pretrainer should give you that sort of lift/energy whatever it is.

Also, 'fat burners' give energy just the same as caffeine does etc. not so much a pre workout, but an energy drink. 2shredded, Amphetalean, Body Effects, they might even 'burn some fat' but mainly boost energy and focus for daily activities not gym related.

F*cking LOL

No comments on DL?

Also, had a play with the safety bar heights last night for bench, one one setting it doesn't allow me to touch my chest, on the next setting down, I'm not sure Id be able to get out from under it if the bar was on it, I'm assuming that would be enough to stop be dying at least but maybe not without a cracked rib or 5.

F*cking LOL

;) f**king great night that was LOL. I can see how cocaine is so addictive though, that kind of rush is just something else. I'd do it again, but no point going out of my way for it - not in this country at least.

P.S. You can't buy the original Mesomorph anymore. It contained a substance much like speed. 1-3 dimeth anyone?

You can still get DMAA based stuff imported in - I got some Oxy Elite Pro, works quite well at stopping me from habitually eating. Taking two in one day was a bad idea though (made me really anxious lol)

I don't believe it's supposed to be allowed through, I think you're just lucky :P

I just finished off my DMAA caps the other day. Can't say I really noticed much of a benefit I can specifically attribute to the DMAA, so yeah who knows. It's just supposed to help you focus (hence why Uni/college students hammer it for their studies), so I suppose if you aren't struggling mentally with something you won't really notice much of a difference. Towards the end of the bottle, I was taking 75mg (3 caps) - supps that used to contain it like 1MR etc only had 25mg/serving, so if there was a specific effect from the stuff I'd like to think I'd be noticing it at 3 times that dosage.

I can absolutely 100% say for certain though that I got significantly more benefit from eating myself stupid the night before and up until 3+ hours prior to training (since I do poorly when I have anything in my stomach). As Birds etc always insist (and nobody disagrees) food and sleep are a much better solution than stims. Unfortunately gorging yourself on tasty shite isn't really much of an option during calorie deficit periods (as I'm on now for the next 4 weeks), so in these situations I definitely understand repeated use - even if only for appetite suppression haha

Raise the bench with some wood/sheet metal or something and use the higher setting.

You won't crack a rib with 100kg; maybe slight bruising.

I've had no issues with 90kg on my chest. Just lower it as best you can onto wherever you can, then roll it onto your belly. Once it's resting there you've got plenty of time to work out how to get out from under it :P

    • Bit of a pity we don't have good images of the back/front of the PCB ~ that said, I found a YT vid of a teardown to replace dicky clock switches, and got enough of a glimpse to realize this PCB is the front-end to a connected to what I'll call PCBA, and as such this is all digital on this PCB..ergo, battery voltage probably doesn't make an appearance here ; that is, I'd expect them to do something on PCBA wrt power conditioning for the adjustment/display/switch PCB.... ....given what's transpired..ie; some permutation of 12vdc on a 5vdc with or without correct polarity...would explain why the zener said "no" and exploded. The transistor Q5 (M33) is likely to be a digital switching transistor...that is, package has builtin bias resistors to ensure it saturates as soon as base threshold voltage is reached (minimal rise/fall time)....and wrt the question 'what else could've fried?' ....well, I know there's an MCU on this board (display, I/O at a guess), and you hope they isolated it from this scenario...I got my crayons out, it looks a bit like this...   ...not a lot to see, or rather, everything you'd like to see disappears down a via to the other side...base drive for the transistor comes from somewhere else, what this transistor is switching is somewhere else...but the zener circuit is exclusive to all this ~ it's providing a set voltage (current limited by the 1K3 resistor R19)...and disappears somewhere else down the via I marked V out ; if the errant voltage 'jumped' the diode in the millisecond before it exploded, whatever that V out via feeds may have seen a spike... ....I'll just imagine that Q5 was switched off at the time, thus no damage should've been done....but whatever that zener feeds has to be checked... HTH
    • I think Fitmit had some, have a look on there (theyre Australian as well)
    • Hah, fair enough! But if you learn with this one you can drive any other OEM manual. No modern luxury features like auto rev-matching or hillstart assist to give you a false sense of confidence. And a heavy car with not that much torque so it stalls easily. 
    • Actually, I'd say all three are the automatic option. Just the different trim levels. The manual would be RSFS, no?
