If you can carry you shopping your not buying enough food. If you cannot carry your shopping your not lifting enough. And go.

All I get from this talk is negative crap, if your trying to say if I think I'll take supps and shit I'll get big. Your far from it.

Some positive...

Supplementing your diet with some nutrients you need can help if you don't have time to prepare food. I like protein powder shakes because they are fast to make. So they have their place as a food source and are good value for that.

Taking so called 'pretend' steroids ie: test boosters is a game of fools however.

Things sold as ZMA and others are just fancy zinc tablets. You need more zinc in your diet if you train. Cenovis do a $6 bottle of 100 tablets from coles if you need some (thats the brand I buy). There is a known ratio of B6 and Magnesium even the cenovis stuff has.

I dont bother and nor want to go near steroids, test boost and hormones. Like you said "time to prepare food" its just not that its also being off site no fridges, no eating schedule guaranteed.

Only things i take are protein, Bcaa, Multi and a fish oil tab.

Fair enough, but from outside the box only just coming in seems a little different :)

Yup going hard, lost 13kg in 7 months, Still a little away from proving a non believer but will get there..

I usually do 1 scoop to 600ml water. Watermelon is good, I'm using blue raspberry which is nice as well. I don't notice any diffrerence with the xtend but I just drink it because I like the taste lawl, so usually lasts me about 6 months.

Currently using Cenovis Vitamin C and Nature's Own Vitamin D (I like chewable stuff). But I went to Coles today and on your advice was about to purchase some Cenovis Zinc (they have a "buy 2 Cenovis, get the 3rd free" offer on at the moment)...but I got sucked into their men's multi which seems to contain the same amount of Zinc/B6 plus a lot of other shit. Here's hoping it doesn't give me headaches like the last multi I tried.

My concern with multis in the past has been their minimal content of each vitamin/mineral, but these are quite large pills (guessing because of the fish oil) and the content was on par with a lot of the Cenovis standalone products.

trouble is that you want to take a dose during the day / breakfast or pre workout and then at night before bed.

      Hypergear ATR45 SAT Turbo With addons (brand new - never used)

      Yeah pretty impressive hey, good to see quality products not over-shooting their prices. That's what drew me to buy the hypergear turbo, just a shame I've never got the chance to see it in action

      Thank you GTSBoy and MBS206 I have done the compression test with the motor out of the vehicle, reason for the test was to see if I needed to remove the head and do rings etc while its out. I'm in the process of respraying the vehicle and tidying up a few things. Story behind it all is I've just purchased the skyline and it was running when I got it, never drove it on the street though as I wanted to pull it down and do it all up again before registering it. the gentleman I purchased it from told me the motor has a forged bottom end and has a decent tune through it but I was going to pull the sump off anyway to see if it is a forged bottom end. that's why I thought id do a compression test beforehand.

      Man, I'm kind of amazed that the price of the turbo has not changed in 7 years. Everything else is inflating beyond reason, but not this? Good on Tao / hypergear I guess? Anyways, good luck with the sale!

      Hypergear ATR45 SAT Turbo With addons (brand new - never used)

      By Danowner · Posted

      I'm selling my brand new, in the box, never used Hypergear ATR45 - and I had some additions I paid for a few yrs back when I purchased it. Never ended up having the rest of the money to add all the mods at once, so I just ended up slowly selling each part. I originally had it internally gated, with the dump pipe, however I found it was incompatible with what I was going to use it for, so I contacted (I think Ken) from Hypergear, and he and I messaged back and forth & he got me to ship the turbo back, where they modified it & made it externally gated, and gave me the 5 bolt dump pipe attachment for custom welding. (Photos below) This turbo like I said has never touched the inside of an engine bay, it's completely brand new, never used, been sitting in the same box it arrived in, covered in plastic & all. Below are the photos of it: And while the guys at Hypergear were making it in-shop, they sent me some photos of the process: I'm looking at selling this just because I'm in need of the money right now, and don't have plans on modifying the 34 anytime soon - and from reviews & peformance sheets, this turbo had amazing results back when I was researching. The turbo was purchased in 2018 for $1.9k, with the mods I got added on. Looking at the website now, for the same turbo they sell (ATR45SAT), with the current addons it adds up to $1830 for the turbo Current addons included: - Bolted dump adaptor - Ball bearing CHRA - Braided oil feeding line So I'm looking to possibly sell it for around $1800, with shipping included in that 1.8k, It cost me around $120 to ship - so yeah thought I'd throw it out there and see if anyone was interested in purchasing. Cheers!
