stalled for 21 weeks at 7.5mg and I refuse to panic this time

Question Long Haul ×1 Cold Box ×2 Well Actually ×3

stalled for 21 weeks at 7.5mg and I refuse to panic this time, and I am aware this is a minority view on this board.

The relevant figures are 21 weeks and 7.5mg, and they come from the same log I have kept the whole time.

Strength retention is an imperfect but free longitudinal proxy: it is affected by neural factors and by being in a deficit, so it tracks tissue change loosely rather than exactly.

Reduced appetite makes hitting a protein target a logistics problem rather than a motivation problem, which is why the practical advice here is about timing and food choice rather than willpower.

Research-use-only material is not approved for human use and nothing here should be read as a recommendation to use it.

Removed a prescriptive nutrition target aimed at another member. Describe your own intake instead.

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.
