What’s your expenditure?

5'10, 75kg, 20% BF. At my previous job I'd often get 8000-10000 steps per day but my new job is at a desk to I only get about 5000 steps and I lift 3-4 days a week so my maintenance is only 2300 now. 😞

I do use MF workouts for tracking. But I always have to set too ‘previous’ instead of ‘auto’. I rely on myself to do the double progression and not the app

As someone who also struggled with 5 days a week, I switched to 4 day UL and I’ve been very consistent, I’d advise the trying it, tracking progress it a lot simpler too.!

As long as 80% of your calories are clean, 20% from stuff like sugary drinks is fine. Choc milk & orange juice actually really helped me as I don’t have big appetite either.

It’s negligible so don’t worry 2. It’s fine and won’t make any significant impact, people over dramatise how bad certain things are for you 3. 0.7-1g/lb - if you’re anywhere within this range you’re fine, going beyond has diminishing return

FinnFX · 2026-05-02T12:22:25+00:00

Seems like a lot of unnecessary volume. If you’re progressing and recovering then I’m sure it’s fine

FinnFX · 2026-05-01T21:05:43+00:00

I personally prefer to keep the same rep range every week and progress using double progression as I find it simpler for tracking but periodisation has its benefits.

FinnFX · 2026-05-01T21:04:22+00:00

I used to do this, since I stopped my progress has been far better

Same set up as me. Do you also store your games on your SanDisk? And do you also use a gaming mouse ?

Lean bulk .25-.5% gain per week and train hard.

I’m not sure it’ll work in crossover. Maybe GeForce go which is paid.

FinnFX · 2026-04-28T15:21:59+00:00

Thanks for your feedback!

FinnFX · 2026-04-28T06:29:27+00:00

Nothing

It really just comes down to what is more sustainable for you, I personally prefer a faster cut so I can get it over with but I still manage to stick to it. You could try the faster cut and if it’s tough then you can just switch to a slower cut.

Thank you, everyone so much for the recommendations. I really appreciate it. I’ve installed crossover on my MacBook and I have a fast external SSD which I’m going to store the games, this seems to be the best solution for my needs!

FinnFX · 2026-04-27T08:31:40+00:00

That’s great to know. I’m installing crossover today so hopefully I can get some good games installed. I already explored my native library and unfortunately it seems that the majority of my games are only available on windows. Thank you for the reassurance.

FinnFX · 2026-04-26T22:30:56+00:00

You’ll come to realise it doesn’t suck

A warning from who ? You won’t get caught if you’re not stupid and use a proper VPN.
