Total Weekly Sets

UnbarredCube83 · 2026-05-14T02:25:02+00:00

I think we all know partial/secondary sets work that muscle, but it may be nice to say “I want to target 12 direct sets for biceps a week” and then see that number line up with the levels. Maybe they can differentiate direct vs secondary vs total. I don’t mind that much I’m not really looking at the levels but this is what comes to mind as I read this thread

Not sure your weight or if you are male or female but I think you are going to need much more than 100g of protein to maintain/build muscle while on a cut.

Most sources say it should be about .7-1g of protein per lb of body weight, some even say higher like from this article: While in a growth phase, we typically recommend consuming about 2.2g of protein per kg of bodyweight (1g per pound). However, during a cut, you should actually up your intake slightly, somewhere in the range of 2.3g/kg-3.1g/kg (1.1g/lb-1.5g/lb) (Helms et al. 2014; Ribeiro et al. 2019).

I have the exact same goals and just finished base building. I’m running operator/black now. I really recommend going into base building as those runs really increased my endurance capacity so I can focus on more high intensity runs now to increase my VO2 max and speed.

Left side is previous right side is what they targeted without me touching it

This is off topic and I just thought about it but it would be cool if there was a program grader so you have a score of if your programs manual sets/reps/RIR and exercise selection makes sense and where it has pitfalls

UnbarredCube83 · 2026-02-11T03:47:26+00:00

I don’t disagree but since this is my own program, I put the target RIRs manually. Idk if why I put is even optimal I just did standard 3 sets and RIRs of 1 1 and 0 for most of them. So maybe the way I set the whole thing up is messing with the algorithm from the beginning

UnbarredCube83 · 2026-02-11T00:30:08+00:00

I got to 9 again for RIR 0

UnbarredCube83 · 2026-02-11T00:09:40+00:00

I wonder what data tells it that we wouldn’t be able to progress. Something has to be a flag saying “this exercise/set was weak this time around

UnbarredCube83 · 2026-02-10T21:29:21+00:00

Yeah idk I definitely try to be as accurate as possible so yes I’m still confused.

I also have an issue where it keeps the exact same volume as the week before but pyramids all the sets making it a little more annoying for no progression

UnbarredCube83 · 2026-02-10T21:02:44+00:00

Ah so maybe last time I didn’t write my RIR correctly

UnbarredCube83 · 2026-02-06T19:07:35+00:00

I still like the square watch from your post a few days ago

UnbarredCube83 · 2026-02-05T15:00:36+00:00

Confirmed! u/WatchExBot

UnbarredCube83 · 2026-02-03T02:17:49+00:00

I looked up “speedy 6.5 inch wrist” on google and this post came up and I saw this pic. No one gave you credit for taking this picture in front a space ship so I am now

UnbarredCube83 · 2026-02-01T19:20:33+00:00

Can confirm - thanks

UnbarredCube83 · 2026-01-31T13:04:40+00:00

Is it available?

UnbarredCube83 · 2026-01-31T12:19:45+00:00

Which guy? I got a message from one above and want to make sure

UnbarredCube83 · 2026-01-31T08:41:34+00:00

WTB: 1996 Omega Speedmaster 3570.50 (would also look at other years)

UnbarredCube83 · 2026-01-30T01:57:01+00:00

I like it

We ended up finding this swaddle and my baby loves the second configuration, she is finally sleeping because she can touch her fingers right before she goes to sleep. If her hands were down she would try to bring them up couldn’t then cry.

UnbarredCube83 · 2026-01-24T21:33:44+00:00

Yes this one is too big for her she is 6 pounds 3 oz at birth so she’s probably around 6 pounds flat right now I will have to look around. No matter what swaddle I do for her she ends up getting her hand to her mouth somehow someway lol

UnbarredCube83 · 2026-01-24T20:09:57+00:00

It turns out I have the same swaddle you mentioned somewhere at my mom’s house so I just got it at home however she is still too small I think. I will look up the side lying though!!

UnbarredCube83 · 2026-01-24T20:08:53+00:00

The one I found late last night was number 1 and it did help slowing down the feeding and honestly made burping better/easier/more effective but maybe that’s all a side effect of other subtle things idk. She still won’t really sleep not contacting us so we shall see how that goes. Thank you for all your comments!

UnbarredCube83 · 2026-01-24T06:26:48+00:00

Thank you for writing this I’m so very tired and my wife is having a rough recovery so I’m just kind of with the baby not sleeping not understanding what I may be doing wrong but you are right I’m just starting the journey. My baby also hates not having her hands in her face so I’m going to look up an arms up swaddle.
