unpopular opinion: FFMI is massively overrated

Results

Posting this because I searched for it and got nothing useful.

Setup: 7.5mg, week 66, sulphur burps present but not ruining anything. I changed exactly one variable — DEXA — and tracked it for 5 weeks.

Result: a difference, but a small one, and well inside what I would call noise if someone else posted it. So I am putting it here rather than presenting it as a finding. If two or three other people have done the same thing we might actually learn something.

Not medical advice, obviously. This is one person with a spreadsheet.

Strongly agree. Resistance training counts.

Genuine question — what concentration were you at?

Yeah, protein matters on rapid loss.

Disagree but this is the good kind of wrong — it is specific enough to be checked.

FFMI tracking requires body composition

FFMI tracking requires body composition

Adding to this: sarcopenia is doing more work than the comment implies.

You have restated the marketing copy. What is the actual substance here.

That is net peptide content, not purity. Different number, different meaning.
