sarcopenia

Trying to get a straight answer on this: does protein actually matter or is it forum lore at this point. Compared two scans from different clinics and panicked over a…

Asking properly rather than in a comment on somebody else’s thread: am I the only one who found sarcopenia harder than the injections. Compared two scans from different…

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…

Trying to get a straight answer on this: DEXA — what am I missing here. How to make a DEXA comparison mean anything. Same machine, same clinic, same protocol. Same…

27 weeks on 7.5mg, full numbers, ask me anything boring. Numbers below. Ask me the boring questions, they are the useful ones. Pulling the figures out of the title: 27…

Thinking out loud about this: the lean mass thing finally clicked for me and I want to write it down. On comparing yourself to composition figures from trials.…

how do you actually verify FFMI. If this has been answered properly somewhere, link me and I will delete. Tracked grip strength and three lifts monthly. Cheaper than…

Here it is: 47 weeks on 0.5mg, full numbers, ask me anything boring. One person, one log, no control group, so read it accordingly. 47 weeks and 0.5mg — those are the…

three years of protein threads, summarised so you do not have to read them — a position I have arrived at slowly and would like tested. Strength retention is an…

help me understand lean mass, I have read the wiki twice. I would rather ask a basic question now than get this wrong quietly for two months. Two scans on the same…

Genuine question, and the title is the question: am I the only one who found resistance training harder than the injections. Protein was the whole problem. Appetite…

we are measuring lean mass at the wrong time and calling it noise. Change my mind, genuinely — I have no stake in being right about this. Reduced appetite makes hitting…

Thinking out loud about this: reading resistance training threads from 2024 and half of it aged badly. On comparing yourself to composition figures from trials.…

lean mass is not what most of this community thinks it is — with the reasoning, because a rule without a reason gets ignored. Reduced appetite makes hitting a protein…

Trying to get a straight answer on this: how much of what we believe about protein actually comes from DEXA threads. Compared two scans from different clinics and…

protein is not what most of this community thinks it is. It comes up every few weeks and the answer has not changed. How to make a DEXA comparison mean anything. Same…

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…

Six-word version is the title — 78 weeks on 7.5mg, full numbers, ask me anything boring — and the rest is context. 78 weeks and 7.5mg. Those are measured, not…

Genuine question, and the title is the question: how do you actually verify protein. Hydration status and fasting state affect the lean mass estimate. Standardising…

the lean mass advice in here is 3 years out of date. It is the sort of thing everyone half-believes and nobody writes down. 3 years. Those are measured, not estimated,…

The title is the whole question — help me understand sarcopenia, I have read the wiki twice — but here is why I am asking. Some lean mass loss accompanies weight loss…

how do you actually verify resistance training. I am not trying to be the "source?" guy. I would just like a source. What the evidence actually supports, stripped of…

Slightly embarrassed to be asking this, but: how do you actually verify DEXA. Three scans over eighteen months, same machine, same conditions. Only the third one made…

Six-word version is the title — week 29 check-in — 11kg down, food noise manageable, one thing confusing me — and the rest is context. Hard numbers: week 29 and 11kg.…

DEXA is not what most of this community thinks it is — with the reasoning, because a rule without a reason gets ignored. On comparing yourself to composition figures…
