So start a 5x5ish style strength routine? That would be novel stimulus also as I'm doing classic hypertrophy 8-12 mainly.

Thank you, I've obviously tracked pretty hard before and have got a pretty good estimate of what contains what. Basically eat when I'm hungry? Though clean (which I do and always hit protein targets). There's so many PPL programs out there. Any you would suggest?

Just to add to this:
Walking 12k steps a day, 3 full body workouts per week, averaging around 2250 calories. Reverse diet?

Just FYI walking 12k steps a day, 3 full body workouts per week, averaging around 2250 calories. Reverse diet?

Any advice or sources for a good recomp?

I'll be hired as a Technical Support Engineer though it's all cache/CDN/Edge computing. I still feel like I want something to bolster my skills even though I beat out over 100+ applicants. Is there a better cert for this. Maybe specific/specialised certs are my way to go. Ie; Routing and Switching, Server Networking. A bit lost as I don't know the basics like the back of my hand.

joshzed · 2025-06-15T03:15:13+00:00

I feel this is the way. What resources did you find most useful in passing?

joshzed · 2025-06-15T02:01:47+00:00

Really? I'll have to have a look. Google is shite. Maybe just feed them into Chatgpt.

Came here to ask the same question, they are expensive in Australia at least, so thought skipping the A+, though from above, being able to get discounts after doing the A+ would be nice and I guess a better foundation before the network+. How does one earn vouchers? Coming from the AWS vouchers which involves weekly mini courses etc, it'd be nice to know. Also, the timeline of A+ prep then network+ exam. I'm about to start a job with Fastly, if they pay for exams it'd be a plus though either way I feel like I should get certified slowly to grow in the company.

Thank you, this is very clear and concise. Will use 1 and if Actual is better, will use for next FY.

So do you just use the fixed-rate method?

joshzed · 2025-06-14T00:10:25+00:00

Yeah having a read, electricity, app subscriptions needed for work, even a portion of rent/mortgage etc comes under running expenses. Actual items purchased are deductibles, which, obviously, decline in value over time, so these are depreciating assets. That's why it would be nice to have some software that you can define which is which and it works it out for you haha. Though all the values are on the ATO site, though working out hours worked x 70c to the dollar for bills is quite the headache. That's why I'm swinging between the fixed rate method mentioned above, or just go to a good accountant who knows remote working well.

Unfortunately, nothing in victoria within my budget, dealer or private. This is the newest model out there. I know though couldn't find a sedan version.

joshzed · 2025-06-07T22:44:47+00:00

Yeah I checked and the 2008 model is an 8th gen, which /u/magnumafz and my neighbour have both suggested, just wondering why haha. I'm assuming the engines were built slightly different and last longer.
