small win: protein stopped being a problem at week 71

Training Slow Clap ×2

Been lurking in c/reconstitution for about 9 months and finally have something worth posting.

Short version: week 63, 10mg, and DEXA is the bit I still cannot get a straight answer on. I have read the wiki, I have read the last 9 threads, and the answers split roughly down the middle.

What I actually want to know is whether the people saying it does not matter have measured it, or whether it is just repeated confidently. Happy to be told I am overthinking this — I probably am — but I would rather overthink it now than at week 57.

The muscle cramps was genuinely awful for three weeks and then simply stopped. I know that is not useful information, but it is what happened.

Second this question. I have wondered about lean mass for 3 months and never seen a straight answer.

Second this question.

Counter-anecdote: opposite result, same dose. Which mostly tells us the variance is huge.
