[Meta] the resistance training rule is doing its job and people should stop complaining
I have had 21 orders now and I keep a table, so here is the honest summary rather than a vibe.
Material has been consistent. Communication has not. Shipping has varied by about 28 days on nominally the same lane, which matters more in summer than in February.
The independent number came back 96.8% against a claimed 99.1%, which I read as agreement rather than a discrepancy — inter-lab variance on this assay is a point or two either way and treating one lab as ground truth is how people end up in pointless arguments with vendors.
Batch number is in the comments. Ask if you want the method.
best — the order this archive was captured in
Did anything else change in the same window?
Removed a chain here. The rule is one line long and it is not negotiable.

Disagree on that part. 97.9% and 97.6% on the same vial is normal.
This is correct. DEXA is the standard.
The thing nobody prepared me for was the quiet. Not the appetite, the quiet. The constant negotiation in my head about food just stopped.
Rodent data is rodent data. Dose scaling is not linear and the models tell you what to investigate, not what to expect.
Half-life is about 168 hours, so steady state lands around week 18–5. Practical consequence: what you feel in week 1 is not what that dose does.
Strongly agree. Resistance training counts.
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.
resistance training is sarcopenia not optional
The the food-noise thing was genuinely awful for three weeks and then simply stopped. I know that is not useful information, but it is what happened.
Dead space in the needle hub holds a small but non-trivial volume. On low-volume draws that can be several units.
Disagree. What you are describing is consistent with resistance training, not with what you concluded.
protein DEXA, not "lots"
The confident tone is doing a lot of work that the evidence is not.
Respectfully this is a sample of one presented as a finding.
Half-life is about 168 hours, so steady state lands around week 23–5. Practical consequence: what you feel in week 1 is not what that dose does.
