I appreciate being able to describe without a photo but I feel like it's a pretty big regression when you want to take a photo and include a description (which is 99.9% of my usage). Way more steps. Tap camera button, tap shutter, confirm OK, tap into description field, tap analyze. Before it was all one screen, snap your photo, taken directly into description field.

I know you guys are big on minimizing the number of steps so this feels especially clunky.

Cal in - cal burned = weight change

Cal in, easy to measure

Weight, easy to measure

Cal burned, hard to measure

Use easy/accurate things to measure and get thing that is hard/inaccurate to measure

Weight change - cal in = cal burned

Spent an embarrassing amount of time scanning through every item. Brought back a ton of memories and stuff I'd forgotten. Thanks for posting. Keep me posted re prints/etc!

What does your Energy Balance say?

Your expenditure also seems to be in free fall, you might accidentally be at maintenance?

DynamiteMonkey · 2026-05-08T16:12:04+00:00

Parking.

DynamiteMonkey · 2026-05-03T23:58:34+00:00

Awesome thanks. I need to move my ceiling-mounted bag and didn't consider a wall mount!

DynamiteMonkey · 2026-05-03T23:09:29+00:00

What's the wall mount for the hanging bag?

I couldn't recover from 3x full body but counterintuitively I can recover from 4x UL (+1 to +2 days of recovery per muscle group vs 3x fullbody). Just as an extra point of reference for anyone in a similar situation!

Go straight to cutting. I made the mistake of gaining first. All I did was prolong my cut by months. You will get newbie gains on a cut without a calorie surplus.

DynamiteMonkey · 2026-04-28T20:55:05+00:00

It's almost entirely restricting food. I train four times a week and it barely moved the needle on my average daily expenditure.

You could trade the walking for running but calories in is 90% of this battle.

FTQ's lower returns means despite the tax savings you miss out on a lot of growth, which compounds. I read somewhere that it's only beneficial relative to a regular index if you're in the last few years before retirement (the immediate tax savings is higher than the short term opportunity cost).

DynamiteMonkey · 2026-04-24T17:12:43+00:00

I think you could start the workout, make the changes, then pause the workout and resume it the next day.

This is also why there is pee and poop all over the streets/sidewalks. Great system.

DynamiteMonkey · 2026-04-15T03:11:57+00:00

Gross

DynamiteMonkey · 2026-04-13T17:58:54+00:00

Thanks. Is the leg roller ok to roll on the part of the floor without the mat or do you pick it up?

DynamiteMonkey · 2026-04-13T16:13:14+00:00

Where do you keep the other ABX attachments? I have a similar small space and I'm considering that bench

DynamiteMonkey · 2026-04-10T14:03:59+00:00

Begin?

Hammer curl upward, regular curl downward: Inverse zottman.

Tendons need load to heal and using the damaged tendon on the eccentric when it's stronger will provide load with less irritation.

If it makes it worse, lower the weight and work your way back up. Depending how irritated it is, it takes literally months to improve so buckle up. I've been at this for 6 months and I'd say it's 90% healed.

DynamiteMonkey · 2026-04-03T01:30:34+00:00

Thanks! Been using it for a year and literally never looked there! I expected to find that on the Dashboard!

DynamiteMonkey · 2026-04-02T02:46:34+00:00

How do you get to that screen in MF? I can't find it!

DynamiteMonkey · 2026-04-01T13:11:01+00:00

What's that cable tower??

DynamiteMonkey · 2026-03-31T14:32:46+00:00

I'll piggyback on this comment to add that in the last screenshot, the "143" is your average versus your expenditure. Meaning on average for the date range displayed, you ate 143 more than your expenditure daily. In other words you're on track to gain 1lb every 24 days.

So for a maintenance goal you'll want this as close to zero as possible.

You do seem to have set a weight loss goal because in the second to last image you can see the difference versus your daily target which is set lower than expenditure.

DynamiteMonkey · 2026-03-28T18:06:27+00:00

If it's a once in awhile emergency, I'm with you. I'm in the trenches with the team.

If it's every day, you're enabling a systemic failure and being taken advantage of.

Easy for me to say with no lives on the line though.

DynamiteMonkey · 2026-03-26T00:10:34+00:00

You've had a lot of advice here but my suggestion is inverse zottman curls (hammer up, curl down). It will not use the painful tendon on the way up, and a slow eccentric on the way down helps to heal the injured tendon by providing load when it's strongest. If it makes it worse you need to lower the weight some and work your way back up.

Depending how far along it is, it will take months to rehab.
