- power_through_no — the maintenance conversation barely existed in here two years ago and now it is half the channel 22:19
- endotoxin_ed — coming down too fast was my mistake. top rung to the bottom rung inside a month and it was a bad month 22:25
- power_through_no — is a maintenance dose a real clinical thing or something we invented between us 22:35
- power_through_no — the muscle question is the one i wish i had taken seriously at month two instead of month twelve 23:06
- power_through_no — dropping to a maintenance dose was uneventful for me and completely miserable for somebody i talk to weekly 23:07
come down slower than that
food noise coming back at a lower dose settled again after about four weeks for me
mine held
regain is expected
mine didnt hold
my range is 13 and i stopped calling anything inside that a regain
coming back to this i set a trigger weight instead of a target. if i cross it i go up a rung. that is my entire plan
[edited]weekly not daily
how much protein were people eating at maintenance compared to while losing
i went to every ten days at a low dose and it held for me. n of 1, and i keep saying that out loud
im at goal and nobody has told me what happens next, whats the room doing
im holding at 7.5 for maintenance and wondering whether i should be lower
thats STEP 4
if i go back up after regain does it work the same the second time
resistance training two or three times a week is what the room converged on and it is not glamorous, i think

*Medutest not the other one

coming down too fast was my mistake. top rung to the bottom rung inside a month and it was a bad month
lift twice a week

the muscle question is the one i wish i had taken seriously at month two instead of month twelve
