speaking of weighing myself - Its 2.03am, nobody in the house is awake apart from me and the mice in the floorboards ;p time to go weigh in.

 

[kurosagi01]

Gym 3-4 times a day is enough in my opinion with good few days rest. I always weight myself after using toilet in morning and Bo$$ i reckon you can probably put on few kg and bit of size if done correctly.

Finally pulled the trigger on a replacement for the reverent Dead Silence. Got the NZXT Source 340 on sale, arrives tomorrow! Not looking for fancy features, preferably something that will blend in and not draw too much attention.

I'll be using the good old Source 310 Elite when i'll be rebuilding my desktop in January.
My new mouse and keyboard arrived in preparation for my new build

And also finally got some more protein powder for the upcoming year.

It's my duty to tell you that's a total waste of money.....

Tickles me everytime I hear a real health professional say that, especially when you see those fitness crazy beach body men inhaling whey protein like it's legal steroids.

As far as I could ever tell, it just made me gain fatty weight. Fish and lentils are vastly superior if it's protein you want. Plus you're getting your oils too for those joint problems that I've been developing

It's all matter of opinion "supplements" i get comments saying it does help and doesn't but i have been taking them for past 2 years as part of my diet and i feel i benefit from them and i don't take crazy amount as i depend most of my diet from food.

don't want to start a war or something, what browser are you guys using? I'm having massive issues with FF on my pc atm massive 3gb mem leaks and flash crashing every 12 mins or something

Firefox has sucked for sometime now. IE11 and Chrome are far better choices. I will say over all IE11 is more secure than Chrome as of lately. That "DoubleClick" Ad cookie that comes with Chrome is a big security issue IMO. It was hit pretty bad a few months ago and is setup to get hit again. IE11 has a much smaller footprint.

No Troll.

No offence man but it is absolutely not a matter of opinion. Whey powder is extracted from plain and simple milk. It's a faster acting protein and should be consumed after workouts for any effect. However most people have an adequate intake of protein from their diets. Besides, it's amino acids, not protein that your muscles use. If you take anything, pop amino acid tabs.
The supplement industry is to men what the cosmetics industry is to women. It's nothing but a cash cow for companies to milk profits out of insecurities and promises of quick results with low effort. The only people that actually require supplementation are athletes and those that train excessively for several hours a day (i.e. bodybuilders). The rationale for that is they consume vast amounts of calories and to get enough protein they'd eat way too much meat (and excess calories).

GSK (worlds most corrupt big pharma company - go google them for proof "GSK fraud" would do) bought the supplement company maximuscle because they knew how much cash they'd make. I need to go find a picture of me now from my wifes laptop and show you me - no supplement required - just hard work.


A couple of years ago..... 11 stone. (5'10"). I have a bit more body fat now. Yes, it's a Static X tattoo (my 1st.). No supplements required.

Picture removed because I'm not comfy with it being public..

 

[Bo$$]

I interned for gsk... but as a scientist I can say void is completely right... just eat right

Eating right is tough living at home with parents that don't grasp the concept of nutritional value. I do best of my ability to eat "healthy" in mornings and for lunch as i eat 3 meals a day.
Morning i try get good amount of carbs and protein and for lunch bit of carbs and i do eat lot of fruits. As for dinner well it is what ever my parents cook which being chinese complicates things, they don't necessary get the most leanest meat,probably only the time we do eat lean meat is when they cook whole chicken and cook steak. As for vegetable intake well i don't even have a clue what they are,mostly some asian vegetable.

I will be buying some amino acid tablets next time and do appreciate the advice.

Thanks for the info, never knew that, was a big fan of then for a while.

Its "funny" because when I mentioned that on TS to some of the TPU regulars, nobody knew who I was talking about. I wonder if they were bigger overseas than in the states.

Or maybe they just dont listen to that kind of music.

Yeah, come to think of it I'm pretty sure most of my friends have heard of them, a few of them were big fans. Honestly had no idea it happened such a short time ago. Seems a bit of a waste at his age. His hair had so much more to give.

 

[TheMailMan78]

No some of them do. Its just isn't "hard" enough for their tastes. A lot of them like the "Cookie Monster" rock.

You know where it sounds like the cookie monsters catching a massive nut?

Yeah, ordered my new case yesterday, arrived 9 am this morning and was fitted by 2 pm this afternoon! I reckon most places will be up and delivering by boxing day. That said Amazon starts selling 4pm Christmas day so, who knows how quickly deliveries will be made!

cpu's dieing as well, it'll just have to wait until i've got the money to do it properly, unfortunately i ordered a 1440p monitor a week or two ago so i'm not in the position for replacement at the moment

always life though, lovely monitor but no graphics to use with it, i'll have to fish the gts 250 out from wherever it's gone
