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?

    • What bedding in procedure did you use?   When you say stutter, what exactly do you mean? Like it feels like someone letting go of the brakes momentarily and regrabbing them again to get you to stop? Re-reading your post, and that is what it kind of makes me think you're explaining, like theres a little bit of a jolt, likely just as you're reaching a stop. I've only had this issue once. And if its caused by what caused mine, you will want to get the car up on stands again and check it over. Mine was a case of a caliper mounting bolt coming out and letting the caliper rotate on the other remaining bolt and gave play in a wheel as it came to a stop. But not every stop either!
    • Yeop... binned it   This will be a summary will not many pics atm and cbf  Fixed the samsonas - it was totally munched Put a new precision 7675 T4 on with proper split pulse mani Got to Sydney to get to car - drove to canberra to get racecar - drive back to sydney that night Next day all day at Plasmaman putting on new clamps cleaning some things up and adding another large engine oil cooler sitting at the rear above diffuser to keep things cooler Next day - Tuesday - on Dyno - killer wikid awesome pumped out really good numbers - more mid range and on lower boost levels Wednesday - first prac - all day again getting the suspension right - had to borrow front suspension again - out do a lap come in - out do a lap - in - what i had just couldnt handle the load at the more consistent higher speeds - got a lap in at the end of the day that was pretty reasonable  Put it this way that lap wouldve had me in 4th in Pro am for the whole event - with only 700 hp and used tyres Thurs first official prac day - lap out warm up - then entered a hotlap with above setting and 80% effort took corners 1,2,3 and into 4 car felt awesome -  rear came around out of nowhere bang into the wall near front on at whatever 140 kmph Done, over, gone Just one of those how did that happen apparently as all indications show nothing out of the ordinary Got to spend the rest of the time at the event like I hadnt done before - was actually Ok mainly as I had my family and my boy is 9 and got treated like a rockstar Long trip home, lost a trailer wheel in nowhere land, X5 airbag suspension gave up half way across nullabour and rode on bumps stops (its now completely fine) had to do a 19 hr drive day on day 3 as accommodation got screwed up so just had to keep driving till found a town with some Now to reassess - hopefully the motor and other things are OK but yet to be seen too. There is no easy fix there is no i'll just order that part and get it sent - we'll have a talk to people see what can happen and what the go is but at minimum its rebuild from scratch struts forward and alot of time effort and $ should and if I return and if but maybe/ when  I have the cage tied into the front strut towers - if I didnt have that things couldnt been worse you can say its just a front end but if you know what goes into these cars... you'll know what that actually means in reality   Car was very fast. Disappointing we just didnt get to show it Effort doesnt win you races though     Apparently this is motorsport !  
    • Thanks, will do that.  Thankfully they still feel great.
    • Yeah man, absolutely. You can try pushing me all the way in swapping the R34 for an E9x M3 
    • It's almost certainly going to be some amount of pads compound transfer onto the rotors. It will probably go away after you've run them for a bit. If not, pull it all out, lightly sand the rotors, scuff the pads, and rebed.
