I now wear stretchy material / loose running shorts, which finish a few inches above the knees. When you're a tall guy with long legs this makes you look like leg day is a once a year occurrence for you, but the range of motion is awesome and uninhibited - might as well be squatting naked.

Thinking I'll have to find something above the knees too, my legs aren't skinny though so shouldn't look to bad

I grabbed some UMBRO soccer shorts which work well for squats/everything, for footwear I use Chuck Taylors and soccer socks for deads to stop the blood if I hit my shins.

I do tuck some of my shorts into my undies to shorten then up a bit when I'm doing front squats as I find it more comfortable.

I'm not a fan of compression gear for lifting, it makes my junk all tucked up and uncomfortable.

No offense to any geared lifters out there but the gear they use makes me LOL and think WTF.

I have legit never had a pre-workout of any kind unless bcaas fit in that category.

I dont even drink coffee so I feel like I could probably benefit from something but ive never really felt the need honestly. All the ones that had good rep are banned now arent they?

fk ur pre workout

Just listen to your fav pumping music and go make that gym wish it were never born

Bulk Nutrients NO3X. Give it a shot if you want, I find it quite decent and I have a small tolerance to caffeine/stims now (not as bad as I used to, but now I restrict my caffeine intake and basically never use pre-trainer either)

Also Dan, I might partly go back on my words from yesterday regarding MACA. I downed a heaped teaspoon on an empty stomach yesterday morning before heading to the gym, and by the time I got there (maybe 20 mins later) I was feeling a lot more awake and motivated than usual. Could be down to anything, so just went with it.

However this morning I figured I'd repeat the teaspoon on an empty stomach, and again shortly afterwards I feel better than usual. Particularly so after I've had a coffee.

It may very well have noticeable effect when you give it a chance by cutting out other variables haha (empty stomach), so I'll keep doing this teaspoon of MACA before I leave each morning to see if it continues :)

Still sceptical though :P

I must say since i have ditched coffee and pre work out i have been sleeping and feeling a lot better. A lot more solid sleep too. I was previously taking a few different prescription sleepers. I had a lot of trouble sleeping. It took about two weeks after i stopped them to notice a better sleeping pattern. Much much easier to eat as well.

I have never been into PWO, tried craze once for a laugh and couldn't get to sleep until very late.

TBH, the DAA test interested more from a libido POV, but better sleep fixed that.

The maca powder interests me in terms of focus throughout the working day.

Have you had blood tests get a full hormone panel done.

Small dose of test can do wonders for all the things you mentioned and if you have low test its prescribed and covered by medicare :)

No the "issue" wasn't that serious, just a decline in my interest levels, it;s been almost 8yrs though and we'd had a pretty full wind up towards the end of 2014. As you might recall I was also getting sick quite often etc. Ella has finally stopped catching every disease and bringing it home, I'm making sure I get enough sleep, taking a multi again, making sure I get some good greek yoghurt in (probiotics) etc so I'm feeling better and have had more "interest" as a result.

I have a tendency to play down/disregard the effects of work related stress also as that's not exactly manly when I work in an office all day, but the reality is it does actually seem to take a toll on me over time. There was/is some big things happening here - good things, but lots of work regardless.

Know exactly what you mean!

I am going through much the same gym is about the only thing keeping me focused at the moment.

I don't mind pre-work out

Gets you in the mood if your not, and sometimes makes you feel like an energiser bunny in the gym

what numbers are you aiming for at the comp?

Semi related, what pants are you guys and girls squatting in? I just had a massive blow out

not sure what numbers for the comp as it's my first, I'll open with something like 190 sq, 170 dead, 100 bench and go up. General consensus is to start with something you can do for 3. I wear stretchy shorts that end midway up the thigh. Had several blowouts with other types of shorts due to my low squatting, these are basically untearable. Got them from Big W (though they no longer appear to sell them).

Good numbers. Wish i could squat as much as i could dead or better. I can get 200kg out on a dead somes days for 2 reps. Squat 140kg for 1 or two going full depth. Even thats a struggle.

Decided to get a bit more serious and start getting organised and planning meals for the week.

Hopefully it helps. Will do some more meals up tonight and freeze a whole bunch, so I have healthy meal options at my fingertips.

    • Hi guys . Can someone help me  I bought an Android screen for my Nissan fuga but it won't turn on   
    • My guesstimate, with no real numbers to back it up, is it won't effect it greatly at all.its not a huge change in position, and I can't see the air flow changing from in turbulence that much based on distance, and what's in front of it. Johnny and Brad may have some more numbers to share from experience though.
    • Which solenoid? Why was it changed? Again, why was this done? ...well, these wear..but ultimately, why was it changed? Did you reset the idle voltage level after fitment? I'm just a tad confused ~ the flash code doesn't allude to these items being faulty, so in my mind the only reason to change these things, would be some drive-ability issue....and if that's the case, what was the problem? Those questions aside, check if the dropping resistor is OK ...should be 11~14 ohms (TCU doesn't throw a flash code for this) ~ also, these TCU designs have full time power (to keep fault code RAM alive), and I think that'll throw a logic code (as opposed to the 10 hardware codes), if that power is missing (or the ram has gone bad in the TCU, which you can check..but that's another story here perhaps).
    • Question for people who "know stuff" I am looking at doing the new intake like the one in the picture (the pictured is designed for the OEM TB and intake plenum), this design has the filter behind the front bar, but, the filter sits where the OEM duct heads into the front bar, and the standard aperture when the OEM ducting is removed allows the filter to pulled back out of the front bar into the engine bay for servicing, a simple blanking plate is used to seal the aperture behind the filter This will require a 45° silicone hose from the TB, like the alloy pipe that is currently there, to another 45° silicone hose to get a straight run to the aperture in the front bar Question: how will it effect the tune if I move the MAF about 100-150mm forward, the red is around where my MAF is currently, and the green would be where it would end up Like this This is the hole the filter goes through  Ends up like this LOL..Cheers    
    • Despite the level up question, actually I do know what that is....it is a pressure sender wire.  So check out around the oil filter for an oil pressure sender, or maybe fuel pressure near the filter or on the engine. Possibly but less likely coolant pressure sensor because they tend to be combined temp/pressure senders if you have one. Could also be brake pressure (in a brake line somewhere pre ABS) but maybe I'm the only one that has that on a skyline.
