protein went up during maintenance for me rather than down, which was completely counterintuitive
same as a bp tablet
set a trigger weight
harder than losing
protein up not down
anyone tried every ten days or every fortnight as a maintenance schedule
my range is 26 and i stopped calling anything inside that a regain, not advice obviously

come down slower than that
thats fluctuation
is there any trial data at all on a lower frequency schedule
coming down too fast was my mistake. top rung to the bottom rung inside a month and it was a bad month

dropping to a maintenance dose was uneventful for me and completely miserable for somebody i talk to weekly
does anyone lift specifically to hold onto muscle now that theyre maintaining
follow up the maintenance conversation barely existed in here two years ago and now it is half the channel
