the sarcopenia thing finally clicked for me and I want to write it down

Question Receipts ×4 Cold Box ×2

Trying to settle this properly because the thread from last year went in circles.

The claim: resistance training matters. The counter-claim: it is measurement error. Both sides have been asserting it confidently for about 9 months without either producing anything.

What would actually settle it is 7 people measuring the same thing the same way. I have started; my numbers are below. They lean one way but not strongly enough for me to declare victory.

If you have data, post the data. If you have an opinion, flair it as an opinion.

Yeah, protein matters on rapid loss.

Week 92 for me and the honest summary is: 19kg down, injection-site soreness manageable, and I have thought about food maybe four times today.
