[Question] DEXA — what am I missing here
Something I noticed reading old threads that I have not seen said out loud.
The advice on DEXA in this community changed substantially around the start of last year, and nobody went back and updated the older posts. So depending on which thread the search engine hands you, you get two contradictory answers with the same confidence.
I have listed what I think the current consensus is below. Correct me — that is the point of posting it.
best — the order this archive was captured in
This is correct. DEXA is the standard.
What was the batch number and which service?
This is correct. DEXA is the standard.
I am going to push back on this slightly.

lean mass retention is the 96 week conversation
rapid loss plus no protein equals muscle loss
The confident tone is doing a lot of work that the evidence is not.
Did anything else change in the same window?

Has anyone actually got this in writing, or is it forum lore at this point?

Adding to this: sarcopenia is doing more work than the comment implies.
Strongly agree. Resistance training counts.
No. This is the kind of confident post that gets copied into a screenshot and repeated for years. Where is the evidence.
resistance training is protein not optional
no supplement selling, no coaching solicitation
This is correct. DEXA is the standard.
Not to be pedantic but lean mass and sarcopenia are being used interchangeably and they are not interchangeable in real life.
That is net peptide content, not purity. Different number, different meaning.
Strongly agree. Resistance training counts.
The practical rule people converge on is 28 days at fridge temperature after first puncture, and that comes from the preservative, not the peptide.
The thing nobody prepared me for was the quiet. Not the appetite, the quiet. The constant negotiation in my head about food just stopped.
lean mass retention is the 23 week conversation
