basics — my 24-week log, condensed into one table

Wiki Receipts ×4 Sourced ×2

Long-ish post, sorry. tl;dr at the bottom.

I have been tracking beginner against ApoB for 5 weeks because I could not find anyone who had. The correlation is weaker than I expected, which is itself mildly interesting given how confidently people link the two in here.

Caveats up front: one person, one lab, one assay, no control, and I changed my training in the middle of it, which was stupid.

tl;dr: probably real, definitely smaller than the threads imply, and not worth reorganising your week around.

Water content matters more than people think. If a vial is carrying residual moisture, your "10mg" is not 10mg of peptide.

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

I love that this community will spend 40 comments on a detail. That pedantry is why the numbers here matter.

The basics question took me three weeks to understand. Wiki explained it eventually.

No. This is the kind of confident post that gets copied into a screenshot and repeated for years. Where is the evidence.

u/ines_krastev22 points·2 years ago

Strongly agree. No question is dumb here.

Are you on a pen or vial?

This is the "correlation is mechanism" thing again. You changed three variables at once.

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

pens versus vials, same molecule, different price

Yes, exactly this, and it is the bit that took me 45 weeks to accept.

link the wiki instead of retyping, but politely

u/clara_danquah1 point·2 years ago

Not to be pedantic but what is and first time are being used interchangeably and they are not interchangeable in real life.

u/second_week_sceptic1 point·2 years ago

Week 20 or week 7?

replysharereportpermalink
u/nora_lundgrenOP1 point·2 years ago

Week 18 checking in: nothing on the scale, no nausea, wondering if the pen is broken. No, it is just week 18.

no question too basic, read the wiki first, then ask anyway

Week 24 or week 22?

replysharereportpermalink
u/denied_again_d1 point·2 years ago·edited

This is a good question, genuinely.

replysharereportpermalink
u/nightowl_injector1 point·2 years ago·edited

Sceptical. If this were true we would see it reflected in the data and we do not.

About c/newbiequestions

The deliberately gentle community. Every question that gets an eye-roll elsewhere lives here: what does titration mean, why do I feel nothing in week two, is this normal, what is bac water, what is a COA. Rudeness is removed faster than bad questions.
