  • The scale is different. Dynamics is mainly an ERP like Sage or SAP. It’s something you could coordinate the movement of millions of goods through, and tens of thousands of people.

    Access is a database with a GUI that you can slap more GUIs onto at your own peril. Dynamics is an iteration of " Microsoft Great plains" that was turned into an unholy monstrosity to compete with Oracle/IBM, etc

    You will spend millions of dollars deploying it. It will both be bewildering too much and not enough.



  • It’s a software suite for managing company finances, but can do way, way more if you keep slapping bullshit on it. You can run a retail operation through it, for example.

    It’s a big, irritating “do anything financial for any type of business” app, and like most “all in one” tools is horribly over and under designed.

    Working with it is brittle, stupid, complicated and expensive.


  • Belly fat is unfortunately just calorie reduction. You can’t target fat on specific parts of the body, just overall.

    Improving core strength with no impact on the spine is tough, as most core exercises will likely engage the back and spine. I would try to implement standard, good form push ups if you can. Planking is also an option, but again form is king. Do them properly, for less time instead of “cheating” with loose form if you want to make improvements.


  • Another thing to add on to why weight isn’t a great measurement - You will put on muscle as you lose fat, especially if you shift your diet while you workout. It’s fully possible that you lose 5 lbs of fat in a month while putting on 5 lbs of muscle. Both are great strides forward, but the scale will show no change.

    If you are going to use a scale, get one that will do body fat analysis as well. They aren’t 100% accurate, but its another measurement that gives a closer look at your actual fitness.


  • Basically 48 hrs between muscle groups. Mon - Wed - Friday is a reasonable pace if you do an “all in one” routine. If you want to do daily lifting workouts, you need to rotate arms/legs/core then repeat.

    OP, it seems counter-intuitive to workout less to improve, but you have to realize that you gain muscle by straining and overworking current muscle. To build and repair, the muscles need rest, nutrients and time. If you don’t give it to them, they can’t build up.

    Sleep, time and food are all as important as how much and how often you lift weights.
