I'll give it a shot!

GASPARI MYOFUSION

-Good value
-Tastes great
-Mixes well
-Keeps you full for longer

Personal experience with Myofusion is very good,not changing anytime soon.

MRI BLACK POWDER
-Pre workout

-Works fast
-Taste is not that great
-Gives more focus and endurance

Overall good experience albeit having a high heart rate and sweating a lot.

MHP DARK MATTER
-Post workout

-Works very fast
-Tastes great
-Eliminates tiredness after workout
-Accelerates recovery

When taking this immediately after a workout I feel like continuing the workout,helps a lot in recovery.

GAT Jetfuse
-Pre workout

-Tastes quite bad
-Headache
-High caffeine content

Really didn't like this one as it made me feel sick.

Dorian Yates NOXPUMP
-Pre workout

-Taste is very strong and artificial
-Pretty good focus and endurance
-High caffeine

Pretty good during workout but don't feel that great after workout.

Universal Nutrition Animal Pak

-Wide range of vitamins and essential acids
-A lot of pills to swallow

Animal pak does help a lot if you have a hectic schedule and train at odd hours.

Scivation Xtend
-Intra workout

-Provides smooth energy flow during workout
-Feel less tired during and after workout

Xtend really made my workout easier,training at 6am is not easy but this makes it possible to go heavy even at that ungodly hour.

Adding more soon!

Netbook recomendation

pedro — Thu, 21 May 2009 14:00:58 +0800

Hey,i am in the market for a Netbook but i can't make up my mind yet.

Use:Mainly use for minor programming using software such as MPlab,PICbasic and flip.

I already have a pc with decent specs so this one won't require installation of Altium,autocad etc

Models i am considering now:
(1)Lenovo S10
(2)EEE 1000HE
(3)Samsung NC10
(4)MSI wind(U100 or U120)

Why I can't make up my mind is because of the varying specs,according to you guys,which one would be the best choice and why?

Thx for your opinion!

Btw if anyone wanna get rid of theirs,plz lemme know.

takayanagi-Where is my refund?

pedro — Tue, 21 Apr 2009 06:26:12 +0800

Forumer you are complaining against: takayanagi

Item being sold/bought: Samsung Omnia

Original thread link: Click here

Date of transaction: 14/04/09

Details of the complaint :

COD on Tuesday night with seller,tested the phone and found to be ok,later when reach home take some pictures/test/play and battery gets low,so i put it to charge.Didn't check if it was charging or not but when i tried to on it on Wednesday it wouldn't on,so i tried the second battery,its on.Plugged in the charger and it still doesn't charge.

I pm'ed and messaged the seller asking for a solution as it still has warranty,he collected the phone from me on Thursday saying that his friends shop will troubleshoot and if it has a problem he will refund,then the same night he pm'ed me saying that the charger is faulty and offering to get a new one for me on Monday (Yesterday),I said ok but plz give me the phone back first,haven't heard from him since then.

His both phone numbers are always busy/unavailable.

I also pm'ed him asking for a refund but he is not coming online.

Comments and pointers for me!

pedro — Mon, 23 Jun 2008 14:10:51 +0800

Hi,

A little story first.
Next month will be my final bulking session,then from August until November it will be cutting!But i don't want to lose my strength,i know its tough to maintain heavy weights when controlling the food intake along with lotsa cardio.Thats why i want to bulk to the max during the one month left.

I am currently doing Max OT which is bringing good results,i can't see much change but i can lift heavier weights with less difficulties,so i know am in the right direction!

I have the eating section dialed in pretty good so thats covered!

My current stash of whey is now finished so any recommendations on what to get?Please bear in mind that its only for one month!

All comments,2 cents,suggestions and insults are welcome!

Thanks---

Weights!

pedro — Wed, 30 Apr 2008 13:08:09 +0800

Today when i went in search of someone to spot me on bench press i found one of the regulars waiting for his wife,so i asked him,he agreed.

Then we proceeded to the bench,i told him i would bench 40kgs as warm up and then add more,he put 10kgs on his side and gave me 10kgs for mine.........then he took his position behind the bench!

I was like..... ,thats only 20kgs,he told me that 20kgs+20kgs of the Olympic bar makes total of 40kgs!

Of course he is right but the thing is i was taught never to add the weight of the bar to my total lift.

So when i told you guys am benching 60kgs,its actually 80kgs.

Do you guys add the bar weight??
