[Discussion] we are measuring FFMI at the wrong time and calling it noise

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 15 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.

Strongly agree. Resistance training counts.

Small correction: the trial was 4 weeks, not 15. Does not change your point but people will quote it.

Edit to your parent would help — the concentration you quoted assumes one scenario and you have written another above it.

the UK here. Waited 23 months on a list, gave up, went private, and the total cost was roughly what I expected.

Retitled to remove editorialising. Put the evidence in the body.

Three years on this site and the questions have not changed at all. Which is depressing or reassuring depending on the day.
