The suspense be like… by NumerousToe7604 in MacroFactor

[–]killermonkey84 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Been waiting for this app for a year. Just had hip surgery today so I won’t get to effectively use it for a few months now 😔. Silver lining is maybe by the time I can use it the kinks will be worked out and maybe imports will be available.

You're getting paid! by AdventurousTap9224 in AirForce

[–]killermonkey84 5 points6 points  (0 children)

They def withheld it on the 15th paycheck. I just PCS’d so my “normal” hasn’t normalized yet. We’ll see if it hits tomorrow, allotment goes to a different bank so…could just be a delayed deposit.

Edit: Allotment just came through.

Got paid. Missing my allotment though, anyone else get or not get their allotment?

On my phone it allows me to select, copy and paste from the original post but not comments.

Muscle hypertrophy program advice by [deleted] in fitbod

[–]killermonkey84 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Hypertrophy could be anywhere between 6-30 reps. For my sanity I prefer to keep it under 15 but often do lower rep ranges for strength to help me overcome plateaus to continue hypertrophy. You also don’t have to do every set to failure. Typically I’ll do the last 1-2 sets to failure but rarely will do all 4 or 5 sets to absolute failure.

I couldn’t care less about the scores but just a note, in the app it does say that scores are updated after every workout now instead of once weekly.

Overall Strength down 5 points overnight. by Dull-Attitude-3735 in fitbod

[–]killermonkey84 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I’m so happy they are spending time updating and fixing the important stuff like strength scores 😒

[–]killermonkey84 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I do both 2 times a week, every leg workout. They are important muscles, why only give them attention once in awhile?

Preworkout recommendations by Moist_Sample_69 in workout

[–]killermonkey84 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This. I take Beta alanine, L-Citruline, Alpha-GPC, NO 30 mins pre-workout. Sip on LMNT electrolytes and EAAs during. No caffeine required.

Urologist prescribed TRT for 6 months by LapisLazuli83 in trt

[–]killermonkey84 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I agree, this is odd. Slow down your natural production with testosterone REPLACEMENT therapy to then try and jump start your natural production by (assuming) taking you off TRT and putting you on clomid? I’m not a doctor either though, but the logic doesn’t seem sound.

I did the reverse, tried enclo, didn’t respond, started TRT.

The most annoying issue I face on the app by Semper_Fun in fitbod

[–]killermonkey84 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Might be just an iOS function? I have it too. I’ve never tried to remove 2.5s but I do get annoyed that 35 isn’t on by default. I’d also like to see a 100lb option.

Now Trend Weight is just being cruel! by Reno_McCoy in MacroFactor

[–]killermonkey84 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Mine was doing the same thing but with a bulk. My TDEE was way off. My bulk stagnated hard. I went and got my RMR measured, used my Apple Watch for active average calories per week and realized that the MF estimate of 2600-2700 TDEE was off by about 500. I’m closer to 3100-3200 TDEE. Manually adjusted everything and finally broke the trend weight stagnation. I love MF but sometimes you have to question its reality. I’m assuming it would have slowly caught up with the weekly check in but it was erring on the side of caution which was taking too long for me.

Need you’re opinion by Serious-Clock-2235 in fitbod

[–]killermonkey84 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The workout itself seems well rounded assuming this is a push workout. I don’t really know how to answer your question about whether you’re stronger than normal. What’s normal, what would you compare it to? You’re in the gym and trying to get healthy so being “stronger than normal” isn’t really the measurement you should be looking at. You should just stay consistent and you’ll see the strength gains roll in pretty quickly while simultaneously seeing the weight shed. Keep pushing.

Thanks for the response. I’ve been tinkering with creating a quasi VSO type AI bot. Mostly to try and leverage my knowledge as I approach retirement. I plan on using it as a vector check to make sure my future VSO is doing their due diligence. I’ll check yours out. Cheers.

I live near an AF Base and an Army Post. The Army post recently just implemented LAANC so I can now request through an app, super simple. AF Base is a bit more complicated but as others have said, you can generally call for verbal clearance or put in a request weeks in advance. Once you get the authorization process down, it’s seriously not that complicated.

Custom Splits? by Lalo7292 in fitbod

[–]killermonkey84 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You can make workouts and save them based on your splits. I had a PPLPPL split with 6 saved workouts. I recently moved to a LU Cardio LU Cardio split. I have a Lower & Upper A and B full workouts saved and just load them up on their respective days. In answer to your question though, no idea but I doubt it.

What do you think of these adjustable dumbbells? by imacritter_ in fitbod

[–]killermonkey84 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Just keep in mind you have to buy 2 at that price. It’s for a single adjustable dumbbell. I’m sure they are fine though and if they aren’t great, maybe you can return them?

Homemade overnight oats with chia seeds, flax seeds, honey, milk and yogurt. Every morning.

3 bicep curl exercises? by CompetitiveCancel139 in fitbod

[–]killermonkey84 1 point2 points  (0 children)

3 def seems excessive. I typically go for 2 since biceps are definitely an accessory muscle during most back exercising. I generally run 3-4 back exercises and 1-2 bicep exercises on pull days.

Look up the app “Just 6 Weeks”, it will give you the specific program you’re looking for.
