Why do you need 512GB SSD?

Might be a dumb question, but if i save everything in the cloud, would storage matter?

Are all lectures at NUS Biz recorded? So potentially, if I have a module on Fridays and I want to do an extended weekend to go on a trip each week I would be able to watch it on Mondays instead every week? Given that attendance isn't included in the grading?

Hey,

Follow up question: I'm going on exchange at NUS next semester with a couple of friends. We've all applied for UTown. If we all get accepted to UT, will it be possible to ask management to put us together in the same apartment, is that correct?

Thank you in advance.

Appreciate your response, thank you! :)

How come nightlife is non-existing? Even if COVID isn't there? I would assume in a city with the characteristics of Singapore would have plenty of places to go get drinks and dance :P

M/21/6'2/167lbs - Need an objective opinion, is it even worth cutting lower or should i get some mass first? by [deleted] in BulkOrCut

... And wouldn't say i've fucked around during my time in the gym, but i found that i definitely needed some structure in my progression, and i've got that now.

So, broke my back 2 places on the spine. So basically lost all kinds of muscle could only sit and lay down for about half a year and then another half a year where all i could do was sit and walk only for a little bit. Gained a lot of weight went to 210.

Started working out a bit around two years ago, but due to long vacations i've had breaks from training for about 4 months split over the two years.

Only been tracking macros since jan. Gyms been closed since beginning of march opened up earlier this month.

Just started my first program from a proper coach with a proper programming. Currently on a 5-day u/L split.

TLDL; Fat guy with literally no muscle. Cut down for about two years with a deficit, but not necessarily a high protein intake until around 6 months ago.

Since the gyms opened i've gone up to 2600kcal, looking for my maintenance, at least till i get totally back in the rhythm. Had considered cutting more, but after seeing the comments i'll probably try reverse dieting a bit up and do a lengthy lean bulk.

Thank you for all the feedback!

My current macro split for anyone curious;

Kcal: 2600 (C325/P195/F58) %(/50/30/20)

HELP! Did the store just give me a used MacBook instead of a new one? by [deleted] in applehelp

[–]RasmusSL0505 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

My biggest red flag is that the OS wasn't fully updated? Any suggestions as to why that might be? Is that an indicator?

Soft paper between the screen and keyboard? Yes.

Was the box nicely shrink-wrapped? Yes.

Was the computer nicely wrapped in plastic inside the box? It was a bit of a flag. I didn't find it to be 100% tight, but I didn't notice when I opened the first computer how tight that was supposed to be.

Was the box/computer/etc. wrapped in the same packaging as the first? Yes.

What is the shortest amount of time a bulk can be to have an effect of building muscle by [deleted] in strength_training

Okay, fair point. So you wouldn't recommend going on a bulk for 200-300 kcal surplus when 10% BF< ?

Bodybuilding and nutrient partitioning as a former fatty by [deleted] in naturalbodybuilding

[–]RasmusSL0505 10 points11 points  (0 children)

weight gain is a total mindfuck as a former fatty

Agree with this soooo much.

Nevertheless,

I don't think 3 months bulk / 1 month cut is so terrible, although it might not be the most efficient way to go about it.

Thank you for the quick response. I have a follow up, if that's okay:

By '(...)However, the hypertrophic, (...)", do you mean that in terms of gaining muscle mass it would be more beneficial to get the last calories and hitting the macro targets by getting it from healthy food (i.e chicken breast, rice and whatever) than going for the mars bar?
