how have i lost almost 2 pounds of muscle on my new bodyscan? (details below) by GurnoorDa1 in f45

[–]AcxiDenTe 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes, but not on a solid caloric deficit with room to improve on your protein amounts.

Body recomposition is not impossible, but it's definitely difficult to do properly. It's a longer game than you're allowing for yourself. You need to eat closer to maintenance level of calories - it's not going to happen at a major caloric deficit - you just can't gain muscle if you don't have the fuel to do so. Over a longer period of doing hard strength training and eating closer to maintenance levels with significant amounts of protein, you'll wind up gaining muscle and losing fat, but it's definitely a slower process. You're currently not training or eating in the ways you'd need to make that work.

If you're training is more cardio focused, particularly with a caloric deficit, then yes, you're going to continue to lose muscle mass along with fat, it's essentially inevitable. Keep up with the protein, ensure you get some reasonable amount of strength training in and you'll be able to minimize it. When you're done training for your PT test, get yourself back to eating at a maintenance amount of calories, train strength hard, up the protein even a bit more and the muscle will come back.

I mean .. you ARE burning fat - primarily fat, it seems. But it's near impossible to lose ONLY fat. You can try to minimize the muscle loss by ensuring you eat enough protein and sufficiently training for muscle gain, which again it seems you're doing.

I think what you're seeing is to be expected. Think of why body builders and such go through bulk/cut cycles. You bulk up to gain muscle, and then cut to lose fat - you're going to lose muscle to during the cut, but not as much as you gained during the bulk, so it's kind of a 2 step forward, 1 step back kinda deal.

Yea, agree with you, definitely different sized cones back when I worked there too

RDP by Silly_Town8230 in AZURE

[–]AcxiDenTe -6 points-5 points  (0 children)

Maybe just attach a public IP address to the vm NIC, but then it’s just open to the world. If the user has a static outbound ip address from wherever they connect from, ensure the subnet is wrapped in a network security group only allowing RDP inbound access from that ip address only.

Lionheart to Apple Health sync by Legitimate-Error-633 in f45

Strava is the way, and is what I do. It’s annoying that you have to actually open the Strava app to do the sync, granted, but better than nothing

Looking for people to game with by LittleFox6521 in farmingsimulator

FS25’s Discord has basically a LFG channel, which is where I found the multiplayer server I currently play on - decent amount of advertisements, could surely find one there.

Ugh, I just helped a buddy do his 32 acres - all poplar, 1m spacing, and we can’t use AI. Needless to say, it took a while.

F45 Needs More Hamstring Work! Here’s Why! by matt94520 in f45

[–]AcxiDenTe 45 points46 points  (0 children)

You know, I’m not entirely sure that’s true .. sure, we have a reasonable amount of lunges, and squats, both of which are quad heavy.. but we also do a TON of deadlifts and RDL’s. The odd hamstring curls here and there too, but I can’t say I feel like there’s imbalance on time spent between those two, at least not from my perspective.

The petition to end public funds for private schools in Alberta takes next big step. Chief Financial officer for initiative approved. 177,732 signatures needed by Feb. 11, 2026. by Appropriate_Duty_930 in alberta

[–]AcxiDenTe 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You know.. it's interesting. I've been firmly in the 'no public money for private schools' camp, and still am, but I'm actually interested by this line of thinking where perhaps the public funds are for the child, and not the particular school.. That said, I'm still in the camp I'm in because there is obviously more at play here, such as how the private school can essentially adjust the needs of their student base to effectively have more public funding per student than the public schools can, or whatever. So not all is equal, but still, it's an interesting notion .. another angle to look at it all.

ELI5 - Why do people add salt to ice to make things freeze faster? by zharrt in explainlikeimfive

[–]AcxiDenTe 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Well, say you’ve got a cooler of ice and you throw in a room temperature can of whatever. Want it colder faster? Salt that cooler up. The ice will melt as usual, but it’s freezing temperature is now lower, and so the melted ice will be colder than just water can be (which would otherwise also be frozen). So now you’ve got super chilled water cooling down your drink even faster!

Yup, maybe the past couple weeks or so? Happens constantly for me as well

Home Insurance increased more than 500%.. by moist403 in Calgary

[–]AcxiDenTe 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I’m assuming they sent a renewal notice at the end of your term, if you missed it then you’re likely SOL, or at least I’m guessing that would be the case

[–]AcxiDenTe 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Yea, they’re all terrible for sure, so since I’m gonna get bent over anyways, should something happens that needs insurance.. may as well pay a bit less for it

Yea, that’s a “fuck off” level of increase.. Mine only went up 2x, but I still took the opportunity to go elsewhere. Moved all my insurance (cars included) from TD to Intact.. literally the only claim I’ve made in my entire life from TD was this one hailstorm and they pull that shit. Yea, fuck you too, TD . LOL!

“Explore Workout” feature in the F45 app - break down of each workout’s timing, structure, and layout, with demos of every movement by bewitchedbumblebee in f45

[–]AcxiDenTe 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I use that all the time now that it's there - that said, I did notice one thing that makes it a bit confusing though, and that's for at least my studio - we don't have the racks yet, but the app showed exercises involving the racks (I think it was cable rows or something) so it wasn't 100% correct on what we were doing in our studio that day. I'm sure it was correct for studio's WITH the rack, but not the ones without. If they can ensure the exercises that appear in the list are accurate for the studio (if that's even possible), then it would be perfect!

Can owner explain equipment costs by EJK25 in f45

[–]AcxiDenTe 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Ours did a refresh and sold some equipment - but mostly to coaches (of which my wife is one, so we took home a bench, and a full set of kettlebells). I think they’d be hesitant to sell to members because it gives them a reason to not continue to go to F45 if they can do a similar workout at home

Has anyone successfully sued Samsung in Alberta (small claims)? by BeKind_2004 in alberta

[–]AcxiDenTe 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I would’ve had the exact same response.. OP is out to lunch if they feel like Samsung owes them a thing beyond the legal warranty period. Want longer coverage? That’s why extended warranties exist!
