someone explain lean mass to me like I have not read a paper in years

Training

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 16 months without either producing anything.

What would actually settle it is 19 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.

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

This is correct. DEXA is the standard.

This is correct.

Counter-anecdote: opposite result, same dose. Which mostly tells us the variance is huge.

Not convinced. The evidence does not support that reading.
