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.

[No Crust Racing]

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

Anyone have any idea why my forearms are so sore? It's the underside close to my wrist. Is it from deadlifts? Clenching my fist really hurts.

[No Crust Racing]

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.

[L33SH]

I've got weights today and not sure what to do.

[No Crust Racing]

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?

do you keep your wrists straight when doing your lifts?

Done and done.

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.

[No Crust Racing]

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 July 19, 2013 by ActionDan

[jangles]

Im going to say there isn't too much muscle mass gained there. but thats only my opinion

[No Crust Racing]

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.

[Dani Boi]

Glutes, hamstrings and quads. They make your butt bigger.

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.
