sorry to jump in two or three kilos up and down is normal fluctuation. ten is a different conversation

lower frequency maintenance is genuinely unstudied. anybody telling you it is proven is making that up
lift twice a week
if you find maintenance harder than the losing part you are in the majority in this room
resistance training two or three times a week is what the room converged on and it is not glamorous
update from 8 months ago: still at maintenance, still boring, which was always the goal
im holding at 1 for maintenance and wondering whether i should be lower
holidays at maintenance are fine, i take the dose on the day and stop thinking about it
everybody i have seen stop and hold it did something else as well, without exception in my time here

there is no official maintenance dose. it is a thing we do because the alternative on the table was stopping
