Gym And Supplement Discussion

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.

[No Crust Racing]

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.

[PWND]

might have to store the next lot in the fridge

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

[Trozzle]

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.

Leesh and I tried to get some of that to try but was out of stock when we did our order.

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.

[The Bogan]

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.

[PWND]

semi related...

[No Crust Racing]

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.

[Birds]

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.

[No Crust Racing]

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

[No Crust Racing]

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.

[Birds]

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

[No Crust Racing]

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
