that's what I am doing at the moment, just trying to blend the fark out of it. was just checking whether it's common, as it hasn't happened with any other products I have used previously.

Gts30t, agree with the suss name bit.

I do actually. It sounds like taking it easy works for rehabilitation...funny that!

I have no choice now that I'm old and busted.

Managed to back it up last night, so it's looking a fair bit better.

Please note, In geographical areas with high humidity it is very important to keep this product sealed from moisture. If left exposed to moisture, this product may begin to 'clump' or the powder colour may darken. During summer or in areas with year round high humidity, we recommend all consumers store NO3X in the refrigerator. We recommend NO3X to be consumed between 30-60 days after opening.

Although clumping may make the product slightly harder to serve and mix, this does not reduce product potency at all.

Hah yeah I just went and had a look the company is called Evolve. I only use it after gym. I use a normal protien powder from ON once in the morning on gym days or twice a day on off days. I'm not trying to get huge, I workout for general health and to help keep my back moving after blowing my L5/S1 disc to f**king pieces and having a laminectomy and discectomy. My weight has gone from 79 to 62 over about 15 months and hopefully it starts going up slowly if I can increase my strength/size/muscle mass etc...

I wouldn't be surprised if my results were much different if I hadn't taken any supps though. Anyway that's my 2 cents worth carry on

Anybody had issues with NO3X turning all clumpy in its container?

It's almost as if moisture had gotten in, but not sure how it would have happened, as it's kept on a high shelf and I am quite careful with it.

Yeah my opened container did it a bit after sitting in the cupboard for a while. Still dissolves easily. Just break it up and mix with a little bit of warm water before topping up with cold.

Got 4kg of the BN protein matrix stuff to try, chocolate and vanilla taste good and mix easy.

Swapped my main lifts up a bit as my lower back was playing up with squats.

I've replaced Mondays Mil Press with clean and press, Tuesday is still deads, Wednesday is clean and press, Thursday is still bench and instead of squats on Friday its more clean and press.

Accessory exercises are still the same old same old.

In other news, two skinny people at the gym doing 50kg calf raises with the smith machine, one sitting on a fit ball between the smith and my squat rack, preventing me easy access to loading plates up. No f**ks given that he was making it hard to load up plates - too busy talking to his friend about my fitness pal and trying to work out how many carbs are in an egg.

Eat motherf**ker, eat. You're a skinny bitch with no muscle and no fat to even cut back on, stop worrying about macros and eat more and get out of the f**kin smith machine. But my gym has a sign saying no swearing and given his attitude to getting in the way of me loading plates fk helping the bastard with advice. Let him endure years of failing and not reaching goals, then blame my size and progress on genetics.

LOL, jaded much, the amount of guys doing curls/ext/kick backs as their main lifts, I do feel sorry for them as someone has obviously told them what to do.

This kid asked me the other day for some tips on strength training, I pointed him towards Simply Strength and 531, sadly his work out still consists of curls and pec deck.

Dude might have some peaky biceps and triceps but is as weak as piss and couldn't pull the skin off custard.

Makes me a bit angry and sad at the same time.

Can't say I give two f**ks if someone spends all their time doing isolations. Can I bench more than them? Probably. Do they have a nicer looking body than mine? Probably.

Set your goals and go for them, stop giving such a damn what the hell everyone else is doing.

If what they're doing is impacting you, blocking equipment etc, sure speak up. But if the biggest issue any of us have is that gym bro is going for aesthetics and we aren't, then it's probably time to unbunch your panties and stop paying so much attention to everyone else.

Why can't I feel pain at seeing ignorance surrounding me?

When you see skinny kids in the gym who spend hours there and have no change over the course of 6 months, this is a bit different to seeing someone with different goals to you taking a different way to achieving them and actually getting there. You know that these kids want to put on size and strength but are taking the wrong way about it, wasting their time and looking for bandaids around hard work and research.

Seriously this guy was 60kg and worrying about how many carbs are in eggs. Fucking retarded.

Because in the end it's not your problem and none of your business lol

Feel pain sure, we all do, but sometimes the level of carry on in here is as if someone was coming up to you everyday and asking you for advice constantly then blatantly saying to your face you are wrong. The only problem there is the time sink.

I also feel that pain about people obsessing over macros etc, I was the skinny dude too, 65kg wringing wet, and I took the advice offered and applied it. If they ignore it and get no results, and don't have enough brains to realise they must do things differently, well tough titties to them, enjoy being a rake.

I fear that the logic is...

Back muscles and leg muscles? Why would I want to build them? Girls don't make a fuss over those. Or, that sounds really hard and I can't see a rewarding pump in the mirror as I do those. I don't want to be strong, I just want big muscle, so I'll keep doing the same weight and exercise for 12 months and eventually it'll continue to grow by itself to overcome that same resistance.

By the same logic you could say kids in war torn countries dying is not your problem and none of your business, but do you not feel pain or sympathy or anger when you hear about it happening

It's painful to see an industry you're heavily involved in, filled with ignorance and there's nothing wrong with having a whinge about that, sometimes it's all you can do to deal with the frustration that some of these kids have no hope

You just compared skinny kids in gyms to kids dying in warzones.... let that just sink in for a moment.

You might be taking heath a fitness a little too seriously IMO, but it's not my place to pass judgment on how you go about your business and given my mantra of not my problem or my business for inconsequential stuf, I'll let you have the last say on this one as I have nothing more to add.

No, jimmies not rustled, just nothing more to say as we see it differently and that's completely OK.

Jimmies clearly rustled. Also too late to play thhe don't care card, you already got sucked in after the first post - why did you carry on yourself? Why does it bother you so much what others complain about here? It's none of your business. Perhaps you're taking forum rants a little too seriously ;)

lol, OK.

"we see it differently and that's completely OK."

In other news, added a tiny amount of weight to chins and dips again, ready to start putting weight back on the bench also I think.

Been doing sprints on the bike to make up for resting lower back (no squats).

Back up to 85kg in the mornings, was as low as 82.

A session only takes 20-30mins tops as I'm using 30/60sec breaks.

I love this, because it's ironic my missus has complimented me on my back many times heh. Silly ignorant f**kers.

Semi-related to back muscles, I finally proper tore a callous doing deadlifts today....regret forgetting my chalk :( felt the bar rotate/slip a tiny bit in my left hand....yep....ripped it nicely :(

    • From there, it is really just test and assemble. Plug the adapter cables from the unit into the back of the screen, then the other side to the car harness. Don't forget all the other plugs too! Run the cables behind the unit and screw it back into place (4 screws) and you should now have 3 cables to run from the top screen to the android unit. I ran them along the DS of the other AV units in the gap between their backets and the console, and used some corrugated tubing on the sharp edges of the bracket so the wires were safe. Plug the centre console and lower screen in temporarily and turn the car to ACC, the AV should fire up as normal. Hold the back button for 3 sec and Android should appear on the top screen. You need to set the input to Aux for audio (more on that later). I put the unit under the AC duct in the centre console, with the wifi antenna on top of the AC duct near the shifter, the bluetooth antenna on the AC duct under the centre console The GPS unit on top of the DS to AC duct; they all seem to work OK there are are out of the way. Neat cable routing is a pain. For the drive recorder I mounted it near the rear view mirror and run the cable in the headlining, across the a pillar and then down the inside of the a pillar seal to the DS lower dash. From there it goes across and to one USB input for the unit. The second USB input is attached to the ECUtec OBD dongle and the 3rd goes to the USB bulkhead connected I added in the centre console. This is how the centre console looks "tidied" up Note I didn't install the provided speaker, didn't use the 2.5mm IPod in line or the piggyback loom for the Ipod or change any DIP switches; they seem to only be required if you need to use the Ipod input rather than the AUX input. That's it, install done, I'll follow up with a separate post on how the unit works, but in summary it retains all factory functions and inputs (so I still use my phone to the car for calls), reverse still works like factory etc.
    • Place the new daughterboard in the case and mount it using the 3 small black rivets provided, and reconnect the 3 factory ribbon cables to the new board Then, use the 3 piggyback cables from the daughterboard into the factory board on top (there are stand offs in the case to keep them apart. and remember to reconnect the antenna and rear cover fan wires. 1 screw to hold the motherboard in place. Before closing the case, make a hole in the sticker covering a hole in the case and run the cable for the android unit into the plug there. The video forgot this step, so did I, so will you probably. Then redo the 4 screws on back, 2 each top and bottom, 3 each side and put the 2 brackets back on.....all ready to go and not that tricky really.      
    • Onto the android unit. You need to remove the top screen because there is a daughterboard to put inside the case. Each side vent pops out from clips; start at the bottom and carefully remove upwards (use a trim remover tool to avoid breaking anything). Then the lower screen and controls come out, 4 screws, a couple of clips (including 3 flimsy ones at the top) and 3 plugs on the rear. Then the upper screen, 4 screws and a bunch of plugs and she is out. From there, remove the mounting brackets (2 screws each), 4 screws on the rear, 2 screws top and bottom and 3 screws holding in the small plates on each side. When you remove the back cover (tight fit), watch out for the power cable for the fan, I removed it so I could put the back aside. The mainboard is held in by 1 screw in the middle, 1 aerial at the top and 3 ribbon cables. If you've ever done any laptop stuff the ribbon cables are OK to work with, just pop up the retainer and they slide out. If you are not familiar just grab a 12 year old from an iphone factory, they will know how it works The case should now look like this:
    • Switching the console was tricky. First there were 6 screws to remove, and also the little adapter loom and its screws had to come out. Also don't forget to remove the 2 screws holding the central locking receiver. Then there are 4 clips on either side....these were very tight in this case and needed careful persuading with a long flat screw driver....some force required but not enough to break them...this was probably the fiddliest part of the whole job. In my case I needed both the wiring loom and the central locking receiver module to swap across to the new one. That was it for the console, so "assembly is the reverse of disassembly"
    • But first....while I was there, I also swapped across the centre console box for the other style where the AV inputs don't intrude into the (very limited !) space.  Part# was 96926-4GA0A, 284H3-4GA0B, 284H3-4GA0A. (I've already swapped the top 12v socket for a USB bulkhead in this pic, it fit the hole without modification:) Comparison of the 2: Basically to do the console you need to remove the DS and PS side console trim (they slide up and back, held in by clips only) Then remove the back half of the console top trim with the cupholders, pops up, all clips again but be careful at the front as it is pretty flimsy. Then slide the shifter boot down, remove the spring clip, loose it forever somewhere in the car the pull the shift knob off. Remove the tiny plastic piece on DS near "P" and use something thin and long (most screwdrivers won't fit) to push down the interlock and put the shifter down in D for space. There is one screw at the front, then the shifter surround and ashtray lift up. There are 3 or 4 plugs underneath and it is off. Next is the rear cover of the centre console; you need to open the console lid, pop off the trim covering the lid hinge and undo the 2rd screw from the driver's side (the rest all need to come out later so you can do them all now and remove the lid) Then the rear cover unclips (6 clips), start at the top with a trim tool pulling backwards. Once it is off there are 2 screws facing rearwards to remove (need a short phillips for these) and you are done with the rear of the console. There are 4 plugs at the A/V box to unclip Then there are 2 screws at the front of the console, and 2 clips (pull up and back) and the console will come out.
