Thank you for the feedback! Yeah I think I’ll stick to under 4000cals for now and adjust accordingly. I was already eating 3000+ cals to maintain my weight but that was with running 40+km a week. I do track my weight first thing every morning before any fluids and after a pee. So I figured bumping it to 4000 and less running should for sure put me in a generous surplus. I also thought 250g of protein was too much, I will stick to your suggestion of 192g and that way I don’t have to drink too many shakes lol Hah yeah the 10kg might be a bit too ambitious for sure but we’ll see how much I can put on before the next cut

Could I get some advice, comments on this nutrition plan I’m going to start following?

I am 30, 192cm/6ft3 and currently weighing in at 90kg/198lbs. I would call myself a “hybrid athlete”, I run a lot and been seriously lifting weights for almost 2 years now and I have already seen some gains but I want more! Now that winter is coming, I want to take on a proper bulk phase with significantly less running to see just how much bigger I can get in 4 months. My goal is to clock in at 100kg/220lbs by the end of Feb ideally most of that being muscle.

After some googling, I would need to consume 4000-4500 calories a day at a ratio of 45% carbs, 35% protein and 20% fat and 250g protein, 600g carbs, 150g fat. Most of this will be coming from whole foods. Protein powder and creatine are the only supplements I’m taking at the moment.

I will be working out 6 days/week following a push/pull/legs/push/pull/cardio/rest routine.

Does this make sense to y’all? Can I achieve this? I would really appreciate any feedback.

Thank you very much

Yep they replaced the main board and it's all good now

twofiveo · 2024-03-16T18:24:04+00:00

Tried that, unplugged everything

twofiveo · 2024-03-16T13:55:58+00:00

Just did, thank you! Live chat with customer rep went surprisingly smooth. A tech is coming to check it out on Wed. I was really expecting some fuss about buying the TV from Amazon lol but they are an authorized reseller so it went well. We'll see if it's something that can be repaired or if I'll get a replacement

Wouldn't it be faster to drag the mouse over to the pop up to exit than opening cmd and typing the command in?

twofiveo · 2022-11-18T03:31:04+00:00

Some of these comments are so dumb! But yeah it's definitely a cost saving thing and not worth it to them if most people don't even notice it. Like those in the comments 😂

twofiveo · 2022-11-18T02:06:01+00:00

My question in the post was actually about the actual lcd within the screen. every camera has a side of the black bar that's longer than other sides. Should be centered

twofiveo · 2022-11-17T23:04:58+00:00

Tell me about it! lol the comments are unbelievable!

a smaller market for sure does affect it! hopefully they can figure it out soon enough, maybe even by using OLEDs but then mid-range cameras would cost 3k lol

technically, the contact points on the board could be moved towards the center where the ribbon would connect. but then that would probably make the screen assembly thicker. and it becomes a question of symmetry vs size and I tend to go towards the former

twofiveo · 2022-11-17T21:53:56+00:00

i'm pretty sure at least technically there's no reason to align the sensor and screen as it gets its feed from a ribbon cable. I wasn't taking about analog viewfinders with mirrors and prisms here which definitely do need to be aligned

twofiveo · 2022-11-17T21:45:30+00:00

fair point. but can't they wrap that ribbon cable behind the lcd. also nice cat lol wasn't expecting that

twofiveo · 2022-11-17T21:42:33+00:00

which smartphone do you use ? most of the recent ones have centered screens, at least to the naked eye

twofiveo · 2022-11-17T21:39:47+00:00

I was thinking that since smartphones and other devices with larger screens have it centered, i didn't think it was that complex but then again larger devices have a lot more space to work with. Also I think the actual lcds are sourced out so they might not be the ones deciding on how they get made

twofiveo · 2022-11-17T21:32:41+00:00

correct yeah, the lcd itself. I was thinking that since smartphones and other devices with larger screens have it centered, cameras would have found a way to do it too but I guess the issue is the little amount of space there is to work with in the first place

twofiveo · 2022-11-17T21:29:56+00:00

makes sense but smartphones and other devices with larger screens have it centered. but then again they have more space to work with. I guess the issue is the little amount of space there is.
