Just an update on the protein testing...

DTS were nice enough to send me confirmation that they got my enquiry, but not to actually reply to it (been a few days now). So I will attempt contact with the other Melbourne based lab.

Reading a blog that talks about the dangers of melatonin; some of these reader comments are hilarious

I think melatonin should be banned or at least have warnings on it.I used it every night for 3 months and I gained 20 pounds!

Im someone who has always been in shape and never weighed more then 120 pounds,so that kind of weight gain was unheard of for me.

I really think the melatonin played a role in that weight gain.I was also crying and sleepy all the time.I thought it was safe to take because it is marketed as a natural supplement.But it in fact gave me symptoms of being bipolar or having a mental illness instead!

Im a very health conscience person. I dont eat meat or poultry, just a little fish. I take a slurry of supplements. I exercise regularly doing lite weights, cardio boxing, yoga and pilates! Im an active mother of 4 kids and work and have always maintained a size 6 (other than 25-30 pounds of weight gain during pregnancy) Recently I used malatonin 3mg 3-4 times a week for 2 months and I have jumped to a size 8. I have increased my exercise and decreased my carbs and I still gained weight. Yes, I am responsible for putting that pill in my mouth at night! I assure you its not my diet or lack of movement!!!

Why are people so stupid. Why would you continue to dose yourself up on something if it was having negative effects

People think that just because something can be bought without a prescription (in the USA anyway), then it's no holds barred. And some people think that stuff with a prescription is completely safe too!

I just thought it was funny people blaming 20 pounds of weight gain on a 5mg hormone, as if the weight magically appears out of nowhere. I don't care what effect it has on metabolism, in the end you control what goes into your mouth and what exercise you do. Trying a new medication? Track what you eat and the exercise you do in case it changes.

Someone put it best there - always people looking to abdicate personal responsibility onto something else. Then they go and say to ofhers DON'T TAKE THIS STUFF IT CAUSED ME TO EAT YUMMY DESSERTS WITH EXTRA SPRINKLES EVERY NIGHT. It's the "maccas made me fat" mentality. Amazing how my diet and exercise remained the same, consequently didn't gain any weight on melatonin.

It seems true from my searching, however it didn't come without penalty...there were hundreds of cases settled in court; they paid hundreds of millions to victims in class action and individual law suits. People should be in jail over it, though.

Birds: Supp testing update?

Markos/all: What's the conventional wisdom on where to drive from with the squat, I find the weight shifting forward for me and I'm driving more from the ball of my foot. I've been told different things heel vs ball, but in my head if I go and jump bare foot, it ain't the heel that wants to land first and take the impact.

I've ALWAYS heard driving from the heel. If you're finding yourself putting more weight onto the ball of your foot, perhaps try a wider stance - that helped for me.

I'm already pretty wide in my opinion, maybe a bit outside shoulder width and I go low bar.

Interestingly physio advocated ball drive too, she said mechanically it's where you are supposed to push from.

Well yeah, under normal circumstances lol. I'd think when you've got 100kg+ on your back, it's in your best interests to drive as directly as you can by employing less joints directly into the movement...but I've never actually been shown how to squat by a professional, just multiple bros :P

    • Hi, need help on wiring i swap motor from rb25de neo to S1 rb25det. Is it possible i can still use the de neo loom or do i need the s1 loom? Can i add extra wiring to add wastegate soleniod and iat sensor? Can i use injector and coils on same loom as i running bosch injectors and vag coils? I bought nz wiring trigger kit for neo, can i use that on s1 motor? What else do i need to do to work everything right?
    • Tried some stainless allen head bolts I had laying around, they stuck out like dog balls, so I went to Bunnings and got some black coated jobbies, which I like alot more.....basically OEM....LOL I'll RTV it up this week sometime ready for MX5 Mania to do their thing
    • Good tips, will get on those tomorrow. When doing the maintenance I did move a few of those connectors around, and things that are old tend to not like moving around. (Like me).
    • Don't try it. It will be shit. Better chance of damaging the engine than gaining any knowledge about the old one. Maybe, but unlikely, especially if the O2 sensor is working. You can use NissDataScan to look at the stock ECU.   Cleaning the AFM is seldom necessary and seldom helps. The R35 coil & loom conversion should eliminate dud coils or plugs. But as you still have misses - look to the plug where the coil loom connects to the engine loom, and the CAS plug. Need quality connections there. Also look to injector plugs. And the AFM plug while you're at it. Also look to whether your injectors are clean and flowing evenly. Get them out and onto a testbench.
