Gym And Supplement Discussion

Its from a root. Most health food shops sell it.

Actually my mate swore it was one of the best things that helped him kick a 10 year meth habit. No bullshit.

Best way i can describe the mental benefits is when you go to do something and second guess your self. It stops a lot of that and makes it easier to make decisions

Very interesting, and to be honest I'm actually very surprised the shit isn't f**king scheduled the way our government reacts to any compound that has well....ANY effect whatsoever on our bodies.

Further, I actually thought it was nothing more than a flavour of the month supplement jumping on the "superfood" bullshit bandwagon. A fad which would soon pass once the myriad of stupid little girls and their goldfish memory capacity forgot about it. Like garcinia cambogia.....the joke that shit is lol

Will do some reading and consider getting a sample from my mate's shop :)

Just a minor tendon strain.

Have had one before, other side, and recovered fine over time.

Had a big gym session on a Friday, then 6-7hrs in the yard the next day, then another the day after and strained it. Had a full week off so far after doing one session and it not feeling right.

Will give it another week at least I'd say.

Mmmm, I'm a little skeptical...

Why isn't this more widely known if it's the bee's knees.

As Triggerhappy said, it's more well-known in the general 'naturopath/health food' scene than the gym/fitness scene.

That, and most sites I had a read of just now completely and utterly lacked ANY sources for their vague and not even remotely guaranteed claims - scientific or anecdotal.

Regardless, cheap cheap so why the hell not. Bulk Nutrients do it for $55/kg, listing a normal dose as anywhere from 2 - 6g daily. So yeah, f**k all.

Wow that is cheap we have been paying a lot more than that. In saying that I dont buy much online apart from second hand goods. Im one of those people that pays more to support local business. That might change seeing that price though

Bulk Nutrients are Australian owned (and most if not all of their products are Australian produce too). There's irony in going into a 'local business' to 'support them', then buying an imported product from an overseas company :P

Plus I give no f**ks for the bleeding hearts of (most) small businesses. Fit in or f**k off. There's significantly more detrimental things for small business going on in our country than online shopping :P perhaps something that actually resulted in the average person having enough cash to spend on whatever goods they're after so they don't even feel the need to bargain hunt online lol

TL;DR - buying BN products is almost certainly supporting local businesses and therefor Australian jobs more than paying 3x what you should be for an imported product from your 'local supp store', imo.

Same here :) cheapest, and Aussie owned+manufactured :D

Unless of course it's something my mate stocks in his supp store. Then I'd rather support him, lol. Though this is only for things like Quest bars and PB2 etc. Stuff you can't buy from BN because it isn't simply just a single "product" like whey, beta-alanine, etc :)

The lack of credible resources was something I noted too.

I might think about it when my shoulder comes good and i start to get back into "loads" rather than light BS.

Try it.. Cheap if you dont like it ill buy the rest off you.

Its better known in healthfood rather than gym scene

yes

I use Maca with the green Natures own powder stuff.

I like to think its a healthy mid morning drink.

Its easy to use as the dry powders fit in a small Tupperware container so I can just throw it in my work or gym bag and make it up when I want.

The taste is one that you get use to, the green stuff is nice but the maca's nutty flavour is fairly strong and almost overpowers the flavour.

All up it works out to be about $1 per serve.

Do I get results, not sure but I'm feeling healthy, don't need to strangle to many people and take a dump like clock work.

    • I'm still not sure what you are trying to acheive, but I wanted to clarify something about Lithium's response to your question...   Only within certain limits. All of the examples Lithium gave were of detuning for a particular reason. Before the engine/turbo/wastegate combination has hit full boost, you can't increase it....the wastegate is shut and the turbo is pushing as hard as it can Once the combination has hit the target (controlled) boost, you generally have full control over whether it makes more or less boost, because it is being limited/reduced from its potential. This is generally done by controlling the wastegate In the top end, with an undersized turbo, it is possible you won't get to your target boost anymore if the turbo is choking up. In this case you cannot increase boost any more without changing the setup. No change in cost compared to any decent build, other than tuning time to get the engine to make less power than it is able to at a certain point
    • Welcome.  Glad to hear that you have gained some knowledge that has helped you. I believe the only fix for the power steer belt is an electric conversion with a Holden astra pump. If you get a chance, post pics of your car, please. 🙂
    • Just ordered those bosses, hopefully that does the trick thank you very much everyone for your replies it's really appreciated  
    • to have this type of adjustment possible with a curve as I wish, what budget (engine) should be planned?  
    • People still have Skylines? I thought they're non-existent now.
