Protein, resistance training, DEXA. Keep the muscle you have.
Scale sat within half a kilo of itself for about eight weeks and I was fully prepared to call it a wall. Then a scheduled DEXA scan came back and told a completely…
Three full-body sessions a week through my entire cut, and I think the standard "stall = bad" framing genuinely doesn't apply the same way once you're lifting…
Posting this because the title is the whole finding — two DEXA scans a year — lean mass held at 92% while fat mass halved — and a number without its method is a rumour.…
Something I keep coming back to: three full-body sessions a week through the whole cut. Hydration status and fasting state affect the lean mass estimate. Standardising…
Reference standards, analytical reagents and system-suitability material. If you are running your own method, start with a known.
Reference standardsprotein target in g/kg — of current weight or goal weight, and I want the answer with the reasoning attached rather than just the conclusion. Kept the same programme…
Posting this as a discussion rather than a claim: FFMI not weight, or you will celebrate losing muscle. Strength retention is an imperfect but free longitudinal proxy:…
Thinking out loud about this: BIA vs DEXA on the same day, 6% apart, pick a method and stay with it. Hard numbers: 6%. Anything softer than that is flagged as an…
creatine while eating 1,400 calories — worth it, and I want the answer with the reasoning attached rather than just the conclusion. Fat-free mass index is a ratio of…
The title is the argument: the sarcopenia question nobody funded properly. Here is the rest of it. Nothing here is a training or nutrition prescription. Targets and…
Asking properly rather than in a comment on somebody else’s thread: someone explain protein to me like I have not read a paper in years. Strength retention is an…
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…
Posting this as a discussion rather than a claim: protein is doing more work than we give it credit for. How to make a DEXA comparison mean anything. Same machine, same…
does resistance training actually matter or is it forum lore at this point. If this has been answered properly somewhere, link me and I will delete. Tracked grip…
sarcopenia is doing more work than we give it credit for, which sounds obvious until you try to state the evidence for it. Started weighing protein rather than…
the FFMI advice in here is 3 years out of date. It is the sort of thing everyone half-believes and nobody writes down. The relevant figures are 3 years, and they come…

glbiochem.net48 weeks, 18kg, and DEXA was the hard part. This is a description of what happened to me and not a plan for anybody else. Pulling the figures out of the title: 48 weeks…
reading protein threads from 2024 and half of it aged badly. Not a hot take, just something I have not seen said plainly here. Two scans on the same machine 5 months…
Question in the title, detail here: how much of what we believe about DEXA actually comes from sarcopenia threads. Some lean mass loss accompanies weight loss in any…
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.…
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,…
Asking properly rather than in a comment on somebody else’s thread: does DEXA actually matter or is it forum lore at this point. Compared two scans from different…
how much of what we believe about FFMI actually comes from resistance training threads. Searched first, found three threads that contradict each other, hence the post.…
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…
switched from 0.25mg to 2.4mg and constipation got better, not worse — a position I have arrived at slowly and would like tested. To save the first four comments:…
Lean-mass retention during rapid weight loss: protein targets, resistance-training minimums, DEXA and BIA measurement reality, FFMI tracking, and the sarcopenia question that nobody funded a proper trial for.
Independent HPLC and mass spec. The number you get is the number they found.
