  1. Another very important decision you need to make is whether you want a hardtail or dual suspension. I bought a hardtail merida rode it 4 times and thought mountainbiking is so not for me. Then about 6 months later i took a dual sus for a spin. The next few weeks went shopping and bought a GT marathon for 20k and now my road bike is collecting dust. If you enjoy longer rides the dual sus is the way 2 go!
  2. Or you could just carry a bowl of cereal on your back and sum milk in your bottle.
  3. So ive heard but wen i get sum bucks again im definately gona try it. Im trying the new BCAA Vitargo and thats really making a differance.
  4. Yeah i work there. Look to me its about finding a formula that works for you and when you go though a dip you try something new. Lucky for me i work at usn so i tried it and it sure works for me.
  5. Hi Noche, USN have just launched a totally revamped range of endurance products. The new Cytopower contains Virtago which is a combination of high and intermidiate glycaemic index carbs which promotes recovery, performance and tolerance. It also has L-glutamine and L-Tyrosine which help you recover whilst you ride. The new recovermax is also an awsome product (tropical is unreal!) with 20g whey protein and also has virtago. I speek from expieriance as im using these products and my performance has just improved week after week. Im not trying to bull@#%* you but im just sharing with you what ive been using and it works!
  6. Ok thats awsome! I will most definately make a turn. Im riding 2morow morning so i'l have 2 see if i have the legs but i'l really do my best 2 make it there next wknd!
  7. Hey that looks like some awsome fun, where about is the track? I REALLY wana start track riding!!!! Dont have a track bike but will get one if i enjoy it. Let me know
  8. No problem. Wel it sounds like your in a pretty advanced stage of bulking and the the golden rule there is to eat more calories than you burn. But im geussing you want to look good for december holidays and to be honest id start the ripping process now. Eat good clean carbs but no later than 2pm, sweat potato, brown rice, good clean protiens, grilled chicken fillets, tuna, use an EFA supplement and a low carb protien shake, less than 5g carb per serving. Use a thermogenic fat burner to shake the fat off and CLA to tone and prevent fat storage. 2 months and u'l b cut like batman.
  9. Instead of getting agro rather let us help you. If your goal is to gain weight (by the sound of your short temper and the shake you taking) there are a number of things you need to do properly or no amount of protien shake from any supplier will help. If you goal is recovery, weight-loss or increased endurance there's a totally different set of rules that will apply. If you need some good advice no matter what your goal feel free to ask.
  10. Acesulfame-k and sucralose has been approved by the FDA and WHO as sweetners. Many of the worlds supplement companies are using these as alternatives to sugars which add excess calories to the diet. USN has been involved in the European market for over 5 years. We are a founding member of ESSNA - the European Specialised Sports Nutrition Association. We have a European HQ in England, manufacturing plants for powders, capsules and tablets in Belgium and we export into 14 countries in Europe and the Middle East. I am concerned that you claim that USN provided COC's from India, as none of the raw materials are sourced from India. Our proteins come from Glambia, the biggest and most respected protein supplier in the world. Like we stated, we are an open business, and there will always be comments that start with 'my friend' or 'my colleague', but there is never a person who can bring anything to the table, it is always third party heresay, or people who are jealous of the sucess of the brand and would rather bad mouth it than congratulate it. If you really have this evidence, bring it to us. I know that you wont beable to back-up your comments.
  11. I lost my water bottles over the rummble strips so thanks 4 the tip i will tighten my cages. My only issue was the fact that the first 2 water points had no water!! Only powerade (insulin spiking very bad so early in a race) and i road with a dry mouth until the 26km to go mark. A very friendly bunch at that. But overall i had a great ride (sub 3hour gr8 4 me) and i will b at the 94.7 with secured bottles!
  12. Will do. Just to add on something interesting i have heard in the trade, they say muscle science arnt manufacturing in labs but at there suppliers therefore influancing there quality big time. Hope everybody who road dome to dome had a good one. I did!
  13. We often receive queries on our product quality, efficacy and formulations. This has been a recurring cycle of abuse from independent individuals who believe that they have a profound knowledge of the industry, the MCC regulations, GMP, product development, packaging and ultimately the delivery of the product to the end user. Comments that start with the phrase 'I have heard' bear little weight behind them. As they say, the proof is in the pudding, and if you have not used USN's range of product, you cannot judge it. For that matter, you cannot judge any brand if you have not used it. The 'universal mark' in the company's logo is symbolic of global scientific findings and the latest clinical research that inspires our scientists to produce state-of-the-art product formulations. Raw materials are sourced from around the world, and then mixed in pharmaceutical laboratories (Europe, Australia and South Africa) according to formulae developed by USN's global team of scientists. Underpinning the USN message is a concentration on ethics and honesty, so that consumers are properly educated about which products to use and how to use them. As a result, USN has very quickly built a loyal customer base, which inherently trusts the products to help them achieve their goals. At USN we aim to provide world class nutritional supplements with the highest possible quality. USN products are being manufactured according to stringent GMP and MCC regulations and therefore proactive steps are taken to ensure that our products are safe, pure, and effective. As part of this system, hundreds of laboratory tests are being performed on a monthly basis to ensure that ingredients used in products * Comply with suppliers' Certificates of Analyses * Comply with microbiological standards * Are pure and free from contaminants (including banned substances) In addition, independent SANAS Accredited Laboratory tests are performed on a monthly basis to ensure that the final USN products are in accordance with labelled quantities. We use independent laboratories to perform over 2000 tests per annum on raw materials and final product. Our qualified R&D team works closely with international pharmaceutical companies to ensure that: * Formulations are inspired by the latest research * Products meet all label claims * Product labelling adheres to the applicable Labelling Regulations We are stringent in our business, and we demand Certificates of Compliance (Analyses) form our raw material suppliers. In addition we have established working relationships with ESSNA (European Specialised Sports Nutrition Alliance), SAIDS (South African Institute for Drug Free Sport) as well as the University of the Free State to further assist us in product development and testing. We believe in going beyond what is expected of any player in this industry. Individuals who claim to have the product testing analysis sheets are more than welcome to enter into discussion with us. Our business is transparent, and we work diligently towards delivering a premium product to the end-user. None of our retail partners or the relative authorities who govern what we do would want to associate themselves with a brand or range of products that do not conform to the legislation around the industry. We remain the leader in sports nutrition in South Africa and a key player in Europe as a result of the effort we put into delivering a premium brand.
  14. Indigo kid if you can please show me some facts on your rediculous statements on the USN products to back up your claims. Ive used USN for 10 years now and i can promise you they make only the highest of quality products and are constantly reformulating products to ensure the best quality. If you have any questions i challange you to prove me wrong. I work for USN and have the best available info at my disposal so any questions anybody has on our products or biogen feel free to ask.
  15. Everybody just needs to start being a little bit more positive here. Lets all just take a chill pill, be kind and patient and respect others on the road. Even if you think they dont respect you. You reap wat you sow. Prins-USN2009-08-18 01:16:14
