anyone else notice resistance training kicking in around week 92
Six-word version is the title — anyone else notice resistance training kicking in around week 92 — and the rest is context. DEXA has a meaningful coefficient of variation, and it differs between machines and protocols. Comparing scans from different clinics adds a systematic offset that is invisible on the report.…
Some lean mass loss accompanies weight loss in any deficit. Resistance training and adequate protein intake are the two interventions with the best evidence for limiting the proportion.

Agreed — and same machine, same conditions, or the two scans are not comparable.
protein and resistance training, that is the entire intervention
Push back: strength dropping in a deficit is not the same as lean mass loss. Related, not identical.
Tracked grip strength and three lifts monthly. Cheaper than scanning and directionally the same answer.
grip strength and lift numbers are cheap longitudinal markers
the scale cannot distinguish tissue types and never could
Resistance training, and at what frequency?
Started weighing protein rather than estimating it. The gap between what I thought and what I ate was embarrassing.
training volume matters more than training novelty
