Hey all. David here. I race cycles and sold my business 2 years ago. Searching for my next chapter.

Cool concept for a group. Left my day chains and seeking a new project to spark joy. Interested to see what other gents are working on.

Absorbing several pay cuts with consulting clients due to "AI efficiency" implementations across my largest consulting client. That said, those doing the work are bearing the financial price. The consumer on the receiving end of their services continues to pay the same or higher rates due to 'inflation'.

Target is around 125 g per day. That number comes from preserving 138 lb of lean mass at 55, resistance training, eating primarily plant-based, in a caloric deficit. All five of those independently argue for the high end. Actual intake: roughly 100 g. So I have been in a deficit for months, training, and underfeeding the one tissue the entire program exists to protect. Not a mystery. Not a plateau. An input I did not run. What I changed this week: three feedings of 40 g instead of grazing. Alternate Ascent Whey, Soy and pea isolate doing the heavy lifting. Logged it daily. Seven days in. Averaged 130 g. No conclusion yet. Posting the log, not the result.

If you want to go alone, go fast. If you want to go far and climb higher, go together.
