[Discussion] the sarcopenia question nobody funded properly

Discussion

Quick one. Canada here.

resistance training works very differently where I live than in the threads that dominate the front page, and I keep seeing people confidently given advice that simply does not apply outside the US.

Specifics: the route I used took 13 weeks and cost roughly what I expected. The admin was worse than the cost. The thing that would have saved me the most time was knowing which document to ask for at the start.

Happy to answer questions from anyone in the same jurisdiction.

What are you comparing it against though?

My version of this: I was so worried about the injection that I put it off for eleven days. The injection is the easiest part.

Slight fix: the number was 93.7, not 99.3. Decimal point, but a fairly consequential one.

FFMI tracking requires body composition
