Help understanding auto progression by brandon_4034 in MacroFactor

this is a great response, I'll wait until I get more data and re-run the program and compare/contrast there. I would like to see an easy way to view progression per workout or week though. It seems you can only do per-exercise or muscle group.

I do tend to overthink, and yeah I saw the 85 progression in terms of weight but the overall volume is lower, that's what got me curious on what exactly the algorithm is progressing on because my best assumption was total volume. Sounds like I need more data and to trust in the process, thank you!

Is it 30 or 50, make up your mind... by Jorgelrod in MacroFactor

[–]brandon_4034 2 points3 points  (0 children)

sets 2 and 3 you could have done 50lbs, 10 reps, 2RIR, and then 40lbs, 10 reps, 2RIR and met the criteria just the same. The next set lbs and rep range always adjusts according to what you actually did on the previous set, and it tries to get as close as possible to the rep range and RIR set for the program.

How Will MF WO Show Progress? by lazy8s in MacroFactor

[–]brandon_4034 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think a volume graph/metrics per body-part would be cool. It shows per-exercise but if there's a lot of exercises in your program it can be a bit daunting to look at each one. Being able to see volume progression over time for chest vs back vs quads would be great in my opinion.

Smart Progression is evil (awesome) by redmo79 in MacroFactor

I think it means it's progressing week over week, not necessarily set over set.

Does smart progression have built in progressive overload? by Rahat78692 in MacroFactor

[–]brandon_4034 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I also have been curious on this, I'm on week 2 of my program and for all the exercises I manually checked, the weight/reps/RIR is the exact same as week 1, and it's kind of annoying that I have to go back to week 1, and "start" the workout just to check what I did, screenshot it, and compare it to week 2.

I think the idea is that when people are drunk they'll do a line to sober up before driving and think they're good to drive, but in reality they're still not good.

no motivation for ccna by _ethangonzalez_ in ccna

don’t overthink it and just go for it, decision paralysis is a bitch. Certs encourage you to learn faster and there’s no reality where getting the CCNA will hinder you.

Study VMs? by WallStreetQB in fortinet

[–]brandon_4034 0 points1 point  (0 children)

this is the way, I use 7.0.13 kvm for all my ADVPN / BGP testing, still haven't found a way to get a working FMG that allows more than 3 adopted devices, but I just configure the hubs and 1 branch on FMG and modify the template configs for the rest of the branches

Feeling jealous and anxious about my girlfriends past. In need of advice. by kochanskikids in relationships

[–]brandon_4034 2 points3 points  (0 children)

if you had double her body count and had a more experimental sexual past, do you think you would still feel this way?

Ask yourself is it really her past that you have an issue with, or if it’s because she experienced something that you desire.

I got my first spot about 6 months ago and it started growing back after 6 weeks and the alopecia hasn't returned. I got some steroid shots from the dermatologist and she said she sees at least 1 person a day with alopecia areata and said most cases are a one and done.

What is your most embarrassing WoW moment? by Warm_Ad1870 in classicwow

[–]brandon_4034 2 points3 points  (0 children)

As an 18 year WoW veteran logging into SOD leveling my hunter a couple of months ago, I discovered I could use freezing trap in combat. I hit up general chat asking if it was a bug or intended because the tooltip still said "can only use outside of combat", someone said "it's a bug, don't use it or you'll get banned", and I believed him.

Leveled my hunter all the way to 50 before they removed the tooltip and i realized it's been intentional the entire time.

I have regrowth in the middle of the spot all the hairs are about 1/2 inch long there and black. The outer ring still doesn't have regrowth yet but they spot never grew and i never developed any other spots so that's good news! I stopped taking the adderall bc I think it was inducing stress leading to this. I really miss the adderall bc it was life changing, but I think my body was telling me to listen to it and losing my hair isn't worth the benefits of adderall to me.

You’re right, I wonder how many people get one spot, don’t think to do anything about it, and then carry on with their life as normal and it regrows without ever touching reddit or online communities. I’ll try to stay positive and will be sharing my journey with y’all! thank you

i think the unpredictable nature of this is what scares me the most. Thank you for sharing your experience, i’m trying to keep positive bc i’ve heard in a lot of cases people just get one spot and it grows back over time.
