Hows the refusal to pay the final payment gone down with the developer? I guess that's the final chapter to this story, I hope that he's agreed to not expect it and all is done and dusted.

The tracking is the key, I'm not sure how you take your tea but 15ml is almost no milk at all, even a splash is easy to hit anywhere 30ml+. I'm sad enough to know as i measure out my milk even! A new feature to MFP shows you how long you've been tracking and I'm up to 853 days in a row, and my...

Solid start @Karl when you say you are tracking calories, are you tracking everything, all the milk in your teas and coffees for example? all condiments with dinner etc? that all adds up very quickly and if you don't factor it in you will naturally plateau. 8 cups of tea/cofffe with 50ml milk...

Properly built training sessions using erg mode will still run through a range of power zones depending on the aim of the training session, and if you want to just ride, then free riding in none erg mode is great. When you say turbo trainer i assume you mean smart trainers?

The pretty basic plan ive just followed on zwift as a started had me covering all sorts of cadence ranges even while staying within zone bands on workouts. Some were z2 but would have periods of 110 rpm and 60 rpm. Its all covered and erg mode makes that much easier to be working in the zone...

6 week FTP Builder plan completed yesterday, im yet to do a follow up ftp test but maybe this week or next. I need to find the next plan to cover my needs for the next 12 weeks or so. I just cant seem to find something that fits in the time/schedule i have. I would do the active off seasons but...

hmm nah the deadlifts look very much like squats!

Absolutely dont get a set that are fixed length no matter what weight you have on them. They are awkward and cumbersome and really out dated now. Look up assassin goods, or strength shop, nuo bell etc all much better options. I have powerblocks and have had them for 10 years now and they are...

A belt isnt going to prevent injury. Thats very much not what they are for. A belt is a good tool to help with strong bracing etc, i recommend strength shop belts.

Yeah I remember your photo shoot prep! inspiring. I was 77kg on the day for the deadlift (about 8 weeks ago), after 2ish years of bulking. I started back again in December 2021 for a "fitter by 40" push dropped from 78kg down to 63kg and have bulked back up. I hit 1700 cals at the lowest point...

welcome back mate! still going myself, and hit a few pbs since coming back. 200kg deadlift pretty pleased with that. This seems like a pretty steep deficit on the cut! gl with it :D

@DarkShadow how did you balance cycling and lifting, I've started using Zwift 4 weeks ago and cut my gym down to 3 days from 4, with only 1 lower day per week, but getting on the bike for 4x1hr+ sessions per week I'm feeling like there's no time for recovery!

Just got my renewal quote through +50% on last year, up from £287 to £427. Feels a bit crap tbh.

Impressive stuff as always @DarkShadow

Jumped on the Big Spin last night hoping to get the short route done in time to get a cheeky reentry low distance cheese run done after! FML New York with the climb is horrible I was not ready for that at all....at least i got to eat a bit more after that.

Ah very nice so decking removes the need to dig, i missed that previously. I never used to be a decking fan but when composite decking started to appear it was more appealing. If i had a space that needed heights or slopes managing i would most likely go with composite decking myself now. Its...

Would you not be better off starting doing this outdoor bit and the levelling out the same time so that you can get use of the digger rather then having all the ground worked by hand? surely saving money overall?

You dont even have a standard sized back gate access?

There is no harm, but there is almost no perceived benefit either, and especially when you factor in the long term, so not sure how you come to the conclusion that in the long term there is clearly a benefit? As i have said multiple times, loading creatine has been debunked pretty substantially...

I have run out so will get ordering. I feel quite comfortable on the bike, ive always had quite tight calfs and its just after longer stints. Maybe its saddle height i only got the issue after raising it 10mm but due to odd proportions if i didnt do this i had to sit so far back on my saddle...
