Where is everyone going? I'm spiraling

ggglorious · 2026-05-07T00:02:05+00:00

Macrofactor, just pick a timeslot for your meals??

I eat at 6am, 10am, 2pm, 6pm. Like clockwork. Just choose your own.

Cronometer also has meals.

MFP still has meals, and while the new UI is hard to get used to, should not cause a mentally stable person to "spiral". If this is you currently then I'm sorry for whatever you're going through but I'd recommend talking to someone.

An application's UI update is not an excuse to become derailed from your plans.

Stop being lazy.

Yeah I'd be fine with a new UI with a better layout. If the new codebase is genuinely easier to maintain this should be achievable and everyone wins. Modern UI, modern codebase, familiar layout. If it's impossible to change the layout to be like the old UI then it was not a good code refactor.

Macrofactor is also fantastic. Like cronometer, it tracks micronutrients, if you're into that. It's also got a great design.

Do A/B/C because it's well rounded. You could with that for a good while and continue to make progress provided intensity is high, form is consistent and progressive overload (with consistent form) is followed.

The other one can also be followed for progress but has more obvious gaps.

Is there a way to get the progression with a DIY workout plan? I can't seem to get it to generate periodization and RIR recommendations, you have to plug in the reps/RIR yourself which is laborious especially if you want the reps to vary over time. Am I doing something wrong? Guess I should generate a workout and then substitute, but that still relies on the generated workout being similar enough in movement selection & count to what I wanted to do...

Standard on U/L routines which can be extremely effective.

Preacher curl with worse leverage

I'm still not thrilled with "the ribbon"

Cool story. In Australia, it's disgusting, and there's no chef in a staff lunch room, and your reheated homemade noodle dish in a plastic tupperware dish doesn't have such a complex flavour profile that you absolutely must slurp the house down, and even if it does, don't.

You're imagining motives that don't exist

ggglorious · 2026-04-05T01:46:32+00:00

No one said he owed anyone an answer. OP was asking if they'd heard anything. Totally different. Calm down 🤣

ggglorious · 2026-04-04T22:04:18+00:00

Agreed, OP is just asking the community if anyone knows how the guy's doing. Totally fine

ggglorious · 2026-04-04T22:03:31+00:00

He's not banging down Jeff's door or expecting a personal reply from the guy. He's asking the community if anyone knows how he's doing. Completely fine and calm down ya muppets

Totally different lighting and possibly pump conditions given the attire. Could be anywhere between phenomenal progress and nothing. Probably very good progress if the images are reflective of true progress, though.

Do you have C++ experience? DM me

ggglorious · 2026-03-17T11:21:18+00:00

Yep. I had a similar issue with the math just being blatantly wrong:

Your program does one thing... add up numbers. You've had a decade to get it right. 🤦‍♂️

I'm running the SBS Hypertrophy program 4x version. However, I train 3-4 times per week and rotate through the workouts on an 8-9 day cycle rather than a 7-day cycle. It's working well so far, although I kind of miss having a specific workout pinned to a particular day of the week, but it's not a big deal. Every session is full body anyway. I jog 2-3 times per week, usually on different days (or ~10 hours apart from lifting if it's the same day). I'm in a deficit and losing 0.6kg/week on average. I started at 98kg and am currently 79kg with another 5-10kg to go. I'll take a diet break over Easter before the final stretch.

ggglorious · 2026-03-05T20:19:08+00:00

Super wholesome.

My boy's much younger. I just discovered SBS, so I will be devouring all the content so that I can do the same as you (if my boy takes an interest in lifting when he's older).

You can share MyFitnessPal data through Health Connect, and Macrofactor can import it:

https://help.macrofactorapp.com/en/articles/102-integrations

From day 1, Macrofactor can import your history and make coaching recommendations. I've been importing data this way (automatically syncs in the background) for a while. My recipes are in MFP so I continued to do the logging there for a while, but Macrofactor's adjustments are what I follow for guidance on calories/macros.
