the resistance training question that gets asked weekly, answered properly

Data Well Actually ×9

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 19 months without either producing anything.

What would actually settle it is 25 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.

This is an urgent-care question wearing a forum question's clothes. Please contact a clinician rather than waiting for replies.

This is correct. DEXA is the standard.

Second this question. I have wondered about FFMI for 21 months and never seen a straight answer.
