Would be good to see some test results on FitBodies.

You should send in a batch and pay for testing for us all SRS :D

EDIT: Anyone got any hot tips for dealing with a light hammy strain that won't seem to go away?

Edited by ActionDan

I like BN cause I've seen their lab results...the shit is legit as far as I can tell. For $20-30 I won't bother with cheaper stuff.

This. At the end of the day, I'm having it to supplement my protein intake, not for a tasty milkshake (though it helps if it is palatable). Not many getting around with actual verified lab results.

Can you just stay on one diet for more than a month lol

Not when my commitments change more than a female changes her mind lol

I'm struggling to stick to anything coz I dead set do not have the time (I'm willing to use) for organising my food properly. I HAVE the time available, but it's my only free time which I'd much rather put towards something enjoyable to keep me sane. Requires sacrificing things I'd rather not have to, so this is much easier. MUCH easier.

Can you send me a link where an independant company sent off samples of different powders to be tested by an independant lab please.

There was one done many years ago, I don't have access to it anymore. Someone purchased samples from a shop and had them tested, was very interesting.

I love this shit, not because I care about supplements, but because I love the spin etc

Granted it's from a company that sells supplements, but they do have scans of their own tests on their products on their website as well. And to do another study that bags out the other local producers (well some of them) to me says that they have a lot of confidence in their own product.

Wish I had the scans of the Optimum Nutrition products that someone had done on Bodybuilding.com that showed Gold Standard had a higher protein content than the super expensive Hydrowhey lol.

I'm also interested in the spin behind supplement products Markos, as it is quite incredible.

I like the fact BN have previously said anyone is welcome to show up at their mixing "factory" (or whatever you'd call it) unannounced, and be taken on a quick tour of the place to see EXACTLY what goes into each product. Goes to show they don't bother with fillers like skim milk powder as some of the other companies may be doing haha

Their bluffs are good enough for me...if they were telling fibs it would only take someone who can be bothered paying for testing to shitcan their whole reputation. The fact we haven't heard anything along those lines from their competitors yet suggests to me that BN don't have much to fear, rather their competitors do.

These supplement companies have the easiest marketing job in the world IMO. Prey on the ignorant and the lazy who want the next best edge in the gym but can't be bothered doing an extra set or eating more food. Aside from a flooded market, they just have to come up with a new sounding process or fad ingredients and they'll get a slice of the pie.

If you want to spot the easy fakes, look at the companies that release a new product every month, because chances are they ride the wave of fads rather than focusing their efforts on maintaining and promoting just a few been-around-forever product lines. Just my logic!

I'd seen a report years ago from a lab, no connection to anyone, not one powder tested remotely close to the label, not one.

It was highlighting how the industry needed regulation.

Things may have changed, its unfair to group all supplement companies together.

You can see whats going in, but surely the big factor is are the label claims accurate?

I have no doubt some are better than others, good luck working out which one

Oh, and take claims from companies directly with a grain of salt

What are they going to say, its pretty good, not far off the label claims, tastes crap in water, better in milk

I like the pseudo scientific 'stats' and "university studied" claims on some (despite the fact that only one component may have been studied for another reason 20 years ago), as well as the endorsement from guys who are obviously not natural.

Might be biased coming from a company, but at least they gave us something closer to lab tests, which is a bit more than other companies have done. Who wants to chip in for testing BN? What would that cost?

This is why I like steak, it's hard to lie about the protein content! Just eat and assume it "fit your macros".

Not unlike these workout tips from Dwayne Johson, who I'm sure knows what he's doing, but forgets to mention the poking of the skin with sharp objects as a PWO ritual

I'll chip in like $10 for the testing, anyone else?

    • 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.
    • Probably. I take it that they are also mentioned to be for R34 Skyline? For example.... RDA has that part as RDA7957. I have the dimpled and slotted version of that on my car https://www.ebay.com.au/itm/285518478694?srsltid=AfmBOopKxMuAFpsxZJdB1cam4D5RAj1f9yJyOttPZLAwXVNCOiwlhrIy This is DBA's top one piece equivalent https://www.ebay.com.au/itm/364246686631?srsltid=AfmBOorbb0XHQgqTvZLgQPhg70nqJtGvdojKnugum3O2LFSr2h-obp8D  
    • Ok i will get those 310mm. I found one but on a different site. This is the description on those...is it ok? Technical parameters: - Axle: front. - Disc type: ventilated. - Number of holes: 5. - Disc diameter: 310mm. - Total height with center: 54mm. - Thickness (new/min.): 30/28mm. - Designed for brake calipers manufacturer: Sumitomo.
