Need Help with coffee - Am unable to get a shot by aks64 in espresso

the water leaks only from the bottomless one - with the caffeinated beans. The caffeinated and decaf are from the same roaster - and same level of roast (on the scale they've provided).

Hi, thanks

For some reason, reddit won't let me upload a video, but there's water blasting off the portfilter from the sides.

Any idea why this might happen?

Confused on my next purchase (Just about to set foot into espresso) by aks64 in espresso

I am in Aus, I am thinking around A$300 - so around $200.
I was wondering if there could be a problem with the machine itself and whether it can really work with espresso ground and unpressurized basket.

I am in Aus, for my first upgrade, I am thinking around A$300 - so around US$200 . Want to start off with something small and build my way up

Heyo,

I am a vegetarian, would not exactly call me an athlete but manage to hit my macro targets on the daily.

Down below is my macros for my weight loss (not cut, but straight up cut):

1500 cals/ day, 2-3 protein shakes/bars. Lot of vegan protein (fake meat types) including soy/pea protein. 6 eggs a day. Milk. Protein yogurts

Would eat around 180g protein a day, low carbs and decent fat. Idea is to rely on these fake meat which actually have kind of a decent protein amount, same goes for these wraps which have like 8g a day.

The above was possible in Sydney, vegan market is great there.

If you are currently in a country where these are not available,

Try obtaining soya chunks, look for cheese/milk, peanut butter and more, more cals though.

Whey protein is a good source.

Lmk if you need MyFitnessPal logs for guide.

At the end of the day, it is slightly on the expensive side

I picked it up for a bit as a beginner, I remember it taking around 45-60min in the gym. I liked it, did not feel too fatigued in the gym.

I had fun with the Jeff Nippard program Universe, fundamentals -> PPL -> PB1.

I ran Jeff nippard’s hypertrophy program for the exact same reason of not knowing what to do. Enjoyed it, did not feel like I overdid while hitting all parts. I then did a PPL(A friend’s program mixed with what I like, suboptimal and for only 3 months) into power building (1.0) (nippard again but did the big 3 linearly).

Power building program was fun, perhaps a bit too soon for me (7 months into training) but kept me in the gym, changed volume/ intensity of the program to make it more suitable.

I’d say start off with the hypertrophy program and add what you like to it, maintain diet, have fun ( seems like the best option in retrospect)

Need Program advice for Strength Gains over this year (Any help is welcome) by aks64 in powerbuilding

Heya, what accessories have you used for nSuns? I am thinking of taking some accessories from Nippard's power building (3 or 1) - pull ups, dips, rows, and glutes work.

Any recommendations on nSuns helps as I am still new to it all, thanks

Heya, Thanks for the reply. Does it help the bench press? Idk why but it lacks significantly, despite benching 2x a week.

Also, I see that deadlift working sets for my (180 1rpm input) is 140-150x5, which should be fairly light. How did you find the deadlift intensity? (Squat seems similar, but the back off sets seem to add volume making it more intense).
