don't you get all of the BCAAs that you need from sources of protein like food and shakes?

 

Pretty much lol. Only advantage I could see with getting a pure-BCAA for intraworkout supplement is if you tend to train a little longer than you should, so consuming them part way through your session could assist with repair and avoiding excessive catabolism.

I'd have actually thought the majority of them would be prohibited from events, Markos?

We dont compete in a drug tested Fed, so no cheats. ASADA have a few of them banned, I cant tell you which ones as it is of no interest to me. It was when I was working with the Dolphins, but no longer.

The reason we cant take them interstate or overseas is that they are an illegal substance in some countries, but I suppose we can always drive interstate

My new bar and bench turned up, will assemble bench today but it doesn't look too bad.

I noticed the bar has a few marks/chips around the where the collars would sit up against if they were screwed up all the way, though they were not sitting there during transport that I can see.

Small marks and seemingly fairly superficial, can anyone think of why this would be an issue? Maybe greater chance of rust or something?

Trying to decide if it's worth pursuing.

Looking at it now I'm thinking they are pretty superficial.

This is the sort of thing I'm talking about, there are more but these ones stand out.

as you can see not big, just don't want it to be a sign of things to come.

Is that one of those cheap bars that weighs 6kg? Years ago the first bar I bought was from Amart AllCrapAndOverPricedSportsGearGuaranteed, and it bent...in half with 120kg on it. Hope it doesn't turn out to be a waste of money Dan.

LoL me too.

It weighs a tiny smidge over 8kg.

I got it from world fitness, same place as the York bench. It was about $50.

If its not good ill get a refund and something better, if it survives the warranty period then I got what I paid for I guess.

little side story on weights, back when I had my shop I also sold a bit of sports gear. Had a rep that sold the York fitness gear, as well as other fitness gear in. he was telling me about some of the weights they had gotten in cheap. when weighed there was some variances on the claimed weight vs actual weight. sometimes the difference was substantial. from memory the biggest difference was about 20% on a 20kg weight.

    • 49719 is the cooler loop. Right at the front, LHS of that diagram. Return line from rack (LP side) goes to cooler loop on RHS front of car, then back under engine and returns to bottom of tank. 49717M is feed from tank to pump. HP line out of pump is thick rubber, followed by the hard line that runs down to crossmember and runs in parallel (but opposite flow direction) to the LP return line. Nothing goes anywhere near the firewall or interior of car. The closest they get to that is the connections on the rack.
    • Thanks, plan is to drain all fluid tomorrow and do smoke test to find out the leak.   Appreciate your help and want to understand how the system work. So cooling is achieved by the long loop not any rad? The diagram seems to suggest it connects to somewhere inside the cabin and I thought that is a cooler inside firewall. If you look at the diagram it seems to show it connects to something inside firewall. I tried chasing it but not easy unless I take loads off   i am confident pump is good as fluid goes in and it gets soft( steering) but as soon as I turn engine off , loads of bubble come to surface and overflow. When engine is on , fluid level is below minimum but when off it shoots off and thinking it is sucking air in. I suspect aluminium pipe may have a crack line or whole   smoke test with no fluid should be a good start and if needed will remove the pump   In addition, the one going under the engine bay is high pressure line and one directly connecting from pump to resorvoir is return/ low pressure?   finally I searched and suggestion is to use dexron 2 but that is discontinued so bought dexron 3 as all research suggest it is compatible and shouldn’t cause any issues/ blow seals. I bought two liter of dexron 3 motul atf
    • Don't worry about. Just don't try to drive hard enough to make boost and you'll be fine.
    • Yes. This has already been said. It is a loop of hardline in front of the radiator. Because.... the pump is on the LHS and the steering rack hydraulic connections are where they always are on a RHD steering rack....on the RHS. The high pressure line goes down under the engine, along the crossmember, like it does on all Skylines. Don't just throw expensive braided hoses/other kits at it. Work out what is wrong and fix that.
    • Still got the afm on the intake, clamps are shut tight, only loose hose is the one that goes from the j pipe towards the IACV, since it's next to impossible to find a factory hose and the barbs are different sizes (I'm still using clamps on this hose to try and help it seal on the iacv side) I've ordered parts to make up the hotside of the intercooler pipes, I'll plumb it in and see what happens in a few days I suppose The turbo's internally gated, can I just unscrew the tension rod to let the gate open?
