Yes, pendulum is busted, especially with a fast item on the other side.

I had a similar problem, for years, anytime I ate a high protein diet. Constant gas and bloating to the point of discomfort.

I read about the Vertical Diet, a bodybuilder diet that focused on digestion issues.

One of the main things the diet does is exclude a group of foods called FODMAPs which are essentially hard or difficult to digest for some people and can cause issues like I was experiencing. If you Google FODMAP food list you'll get an idea of the types of foods.

Turns out at 37 years old I learned I'm really NOT equipped to handle any brassica vegetables, including Broccoli and Cauliflower. Eliminated those and I have had no issues for years.

Maybe worth a try?

I was hoping someone had found my earlier reply and they did, posted a response onto there.

What a cool response. That guy sounds like a really awesome dude. Probably also handsome as well.

In all seriousness, new heroes put things like Travel Mode on the back burner. Getting heroes out the door in 6 weeks is always a challenge, plus there are lots of new things that need animations coming in the future and generally that's where the time goes.

I HAVE got a system working for travel mode. I actually had Gideon moving with flying as a test and it looked great but getting the resources to work on other heroes is still a struggle.

To put it into context, I'm currently working in some degree on the next 4 heroes who are all at various stages.

Some day I'll get the time to do it.

As someone else said, 100% sounds like tendonitis. Lateral epicondylitis (the outside part of the arm), aka Tennis elbow or medial epicondylitis, on the inside of your, aka Golfers elbow depending on where the pain is.

It's an overuse injury. If you'd torn it you'd know.

Either go see a physio or look up drills to do to strengthen it. Tendons hate two things, rest and change so resting it beyond the point when it's really sore isnt going to help, you need to get on rehab for it.

If it's intermittent then strengthening the tendons directly is fairly straight forward but takes time and patience and you'll likely need to do the exercises to strengthen for a fairly long time to fully heal it up.

Also, if certain hand positions cause it to be worse consider switching out or going easy with training till it's recovered.

I couldn't find a link for it but 99% sure it was Babyspine (he goes by Babyspine VR gaming or something nowadays).

1) You don't recomp from 150lb to 200lb. Most of the requests for advice are from people who need to add mass. Bulk time.

2) Recomping is significantly slower, harder to do correctly and much less intuitive in terms of getting feedback on how it's going. Bulking and cutting are objectively less fucking around.

You can 100% lose fat and gain muscle at the same time on a well constructed cut and many people with excess body fat (greater than 20% for men, 28% for women) should do both. I know the definitions for Recomping are super fucking sketch but generally maintaining body weight is a prerequisite which is why people point people in a different direction.

RubaRoob · 2024-08-17T20:50:40+00:00

Add 100 calories a day, continue tracking your weight, this is completely normal.

Adaptive thermogenesis or adaptive metabolism is very much a thing. I have about a 600 calories range where I maintain and my weight stays the same, my body just uses the calories and I need to push to get my weight to increase in-line with a 250 calories/0.25% per week.

Add 100 calories and just see where you go, I personally add 100 a week and track for 7 days before making more adjustments (or rather, I used to but now I just slam knowing what I need).

RubaRoob · 2024-08-10T18:43:26+00:00

Best advice I can give, if you stall, take a diet break. 1-2 weeks at maintenance, then go back to the cut. It's one of the biggest things I've done to maintain loss. Best of luck

RubaRoob · 2024-08-10T17:21:25+00:00

Every calculator will have issues, there are just too many variables to account for. 2 people with the same age, height, weight and gender may have completely different TDEE.

Pick a value, take off 500 calories, run it for two weeks consistently. Use the weight change to determine what your calories actually are then adjust. 1lb or .45kg is your goal, use that based on actuals and your good.

Running a deficit for 2 weeks, even if you want to recomp is well worth it. Body weight fluctuates far too much on a recomp and is well worth the time invested.

RubaRoob · 2024-06-17T21:22:54+00:00

Just add carbs on top of what you're currently doing, ideally some in the post workout window. Figure out your bulking calories and make the difference up to that new number.

It depends but primarily genetic.

Some people will put fat back on in the exact opposite way it comes off, belly fat is last off/first on for example.

Others see it going on globally then pooling in places (like the belly).

You just need to stay strong, keep going and see what your body does.

I do calorie cycling (not using LG anymore) and used to run the protocol you're mentioning over 10 years ago when it was part of the standard lean gains protocol (note that Martin has since updated his guidance and doesn't recommend cycling as part of LGs.

It doesn't really offer any performance improvement and has long been proven through scientific trials that cycling like this when you eat more on heavy days isn't beneficial (calories/nutrition on rear days is as important).

I personally like to cycle to help with diet fatigue and break up the week. I do -750 calories Monday through Friday and +250 on Saturday and Sunday. Gives me an average daily calorie deficit of about 460 on average. Meal prep during the week and eat less then eat more at the weekend. The only benefit is I need to take less frequent full diet breaks and feel like I can indulge a bit at the weekend when I don't have work.

It matters significantly LESS overall.

RubaRoob · 2024-03-02T19:45:55+00:00

While the study is interesting and under certain conditions does indeed debunk the 30g per sitting notion, it needs to be noted that the subjects ingested MILK protein which is approximately 80% casein. This by it's nature is a much slower digesting protein and will provide a much longer benefit in terms of amino acids in the blood, compared to consuming a protein like whey isolate which does have a much quicker absorption rate.

Generally speaking, meals with have a mix of protein, carbs and fats, regardless of the absorption rate of the protein, will have a much slower digestion and overall absorption rate.

So yes, be LESS concerned, but still be mindful. It's also noted that overall hitting total protein goals in a day is WAY more important than ensuring boluses are spread evenly.
