what would you tell week-1 you about sarcopenia

Training

Week 95 update. 46kg down from the start, early fullness basically gone since about week 52.

Things that worked: consistency, protein at breakfast, walking more than I want to. Things that did not: everything I bought on the internet to help with early fullness.

The part that surprised me is how much of this is admin. Ordering, storing, logging, remembering. Nobody mentions that the hard bit is not the drug, it is the routine.

Happy to answer anything. Please do not ask me what dose you should be on.

DEXA twice yearly is the pattern

Disagree on that part. 98.1% and 98.1% on the same vial is normal.

FFMI tracking requires body composition

Strongly agree. Resistance training counts.

bathroom BIA scales are not a method

This is correct. DEXA is the standard.

Rodent data is rodent data. Dose scaling is not linear and the models tell you what to investigate, not what to expect.

Small correction: the trial was 22 weeks, not 6. Does not change your point but people will quote it.
