Can't find the thread...

Did find this in my travels though, which is a pretty big statement to make

2mins work.... for everything else there's Birds.

Excerpt from thread:

Ok, now you've got me worried, how can I make sure this isn't happening to me?

This is much easier and cheaper than you think. The following is a list of Nata approved laboratories which can verify your protein products, there would be plenty more.
You simply need to call the laboratory, have a chat about testing powdered whey protein samples, let them know its whey protein testing, fill out their form, send YOUR product in, pay approx. $50 and await the results.

The tests they use will be utilising the Kjeldahl method, this measures total nitrogen content and multiplies it by 6.38 which is the factor used for whey. Note this is exactly the same method used by the manufacturers of raw whey to determine their protein percentage. This method by an approved lab is beyond question and they will all guarantee accuracy within a very small range.
If the lab ask, you are wanting an “as is” tested protein, with the moisture present, as this is the same value that all labelling is based on.

I think I need to make a few changes to my diet and routine.

In the mornings I'm now clocking in at 87-88kg which is getting plump for me at 6ft, I'm a lighter build guy.

I realise that doing leg work will have added some weight but I've gone up a pants size (now 92R - 36" wiast).

The weird thing is, if I tense up I still have a reasonable 6pack and you can see some ribbage and oblique shapes on the side. The extra "padding" seems to be in the lowest part of the abdomen around the hip bones where you'd get love handles and in my arse.

I'm going to try and get in an extra walk each day (as I can't run AND gym at the moment, ankle will not tolerate it) and remove some sugar and carbs from my diet and keep check on portion size. I'm not talking big weight loss or anything but 85-86 is probably where I should be.

I need an accurate way to know what my BF % is or a good idea on if some of the the weight gain is legit or just fat.

That's exactly the post I saw ages ago, good work digging it up Dan!

I'd love to respond to your last post as well, but just sat down at desk and brain is FAR from functioning correctly after dealing with Canberra's useless f**khead drivers in the rain on the way in lol

I had MAD problems with my forearms back in the days, it's kind of like an extreme RSI.

Strain will be from things like DLs, rows with heavy weight, weighted chins etc, anything were lots of load is transferred along those tendons.

I am quite tentative with injuries like that now, such that I'll skip a session to recover as I've been burned before.

That's a call for you and your trainer and it depends on how you feel and what you're going to do this session.

I am old and easily frightened now after "training through" everything when I was younger.

I should add: When I'm unsure I'll warm up and get started and just gauge it, pull the pin if need be or do half the sets/cut out problem exercises etc.

Lots of options.

My forearms are the first part to give out from horrid pump and cramping when doing pull exercises....though recently I had something similar to what you're describing for a day or two as a result of being lazy with light bench press and allowing my wrists to bend back under the weight. For me it was just stretching the muscles on the underside of my forearm that caused it.

Alright peeps, send me $10. Put your username as a reference so I can credit you in the research paper...else be an anonymous funder like Batman or that rich guy from Never Say Never with the weird electro shock flight simulator game.

Before doing that, what are we actually sending them?

What does the money entitle us to? how many samples can be sent in etc, where are you getting those or do we need to supply those to you as well?

Why do you need an accurate BF% number?

Are you unahppy with how you feel/look?

Question: If you get a scan will the treatment change?

Answer: No, it will be the same. In your case, diet.

The BF% was more to say, if I was x and I'm now Y and that corresponds to a straight up in crease in my total BW then I know it's all FAT.

But I'd like to think that in the course of getting a touch stronger in some things I've also gained some muscle.

No, the treatment will not change, when I feel a bit cushy I just do a little extra exercise and cut back on some indulgences.

Doesn't mean I don't like to know what the underlying numbers are :)

I'm a little unhappy with some of the extra mass I've acrrued, Kate is probably a little more unhappy, especially with my butt lol but hard to know how much of that is squatting as I was doing 0 at the start of the year, and how much is extra food love.

Edited by ActionDan

I'm guessing you mean in general, unless you are stalking me? lol

So do the glutes not get bigger with squats? Or is it more the hammies and quads (depending on squat version of course) there's definitely been some quad development which I like.

Why can't you be more like Troy and send money without all these legitimate questions.

I'll be sending a sample of BN chocolate as it's one of the most commonly purchased proteins/flavours on here and it's the only one I've got. I based the cost on only sending in one sample. I assume $50 or whatever it costs will only cover one sample.

If it doesn't go ahead or there are any indiscrepancies, I'll just refund your monies through PayPal.

    • As far as I can tell I have everything properly set in the Haltech software for engine size, injector data, all sensors seem to be reporting proper numbers.  If I change any injector details it doesnt run right.    Changing the base map is having the biggest change in response, im not sure how people are saying it doesnt really matter.  I'm guessing under normal conditions the ECU is able to self adjust and keep everything smooth.   Right now my best performance is happening by lowering the base map just enough to where the ECU us doing short term cut of about 45% to reach the target Lambda of 14.7.  That way when I start putting load on it still has high enough fuel map to not be so lean.  After 2500 rpm I raised the base map to what would be really rich at no load, but still helps with the lean spots on load.  I figure I don't have much reason to be above 2500rpm with no load.  When watching other videos it seems their target is reached much faster than mine.  Mine takes forever to adjust and reach the target. My next few days will be spent making sure timing is good, it was running fine before doing the ECU and DBW swap, but want to verify.  I'll also probably swap in the new injectors I bought as well as a walbro 255 pump.  
    • It would be different if the sealant hadn't started to peel up with gaps in the glue about ~6cm and bigger in some areas. I would much prefer not having to do the work take them off the car . However, the filler the owner put in the roof rack mount cavities has shrunk and begun to crack on the rail delete panels. I cant trust that to hold off moisture ingress especially where I live. Not only that but I have faded paint on as well as on either side of these panels, so they would need to come off to give the roofline a proper respray. My goal is to get in there and put a healthy amount of epoxy instead of panel filler/bog and potentially skin with carbon fiber. I have 2 spare rolls from an old motorcycle fairing project from a few years back and I think it'd be a nice touch on a black stag.  I've seen some threads where people replace their roof rack delete with a welded in sheet metal part. But has anyone re-worked the roof rails themselves? It seems like there is a lot of volume there to add in some threads and maybe a keyway for a quick(er) release roof rack system. Not afraid to mill something out if I have to. It would be cool to have a cross bar only setup. That way I can keep the sleek roofline that would accept a couple bolts to gain back that extra utility  3D print some snazzy covers to hide the threaded section to be thorough and keep things covered when not using the rack. 
    • Probably not. A workshop grade scantool is my go to for proper Consult interrogation. Any workshop grade tool should do it. Just go to a workshop.
    • In my head it does make sense to be a fuel problem since that is what I touched when cleaning the system. When I was testing with the fuel pressure gauge, the pressure was constantly 2.5 bar with the FPR vacuum removed. When stalling, the pressure was going up to 3.0 bar (which is how it should be on ignition).
    • ECUtalk pages don't mention they support the ABS computer (consult port has more than one CAN), so you might just need a different scan tool. But, I would expect ABS is a different light to the brake warning/handbrake light, do you see an ABS light come on for a few seconds when you turn the key from ACC to IGN? But since you said: I'd have a look at the ABS sensors in the rear hubs to make sure they are not damaged, disconnected etc.
