what would you tell week-1 you about week one

Answered Long Haul ×8

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

I have been tracking beginner against eGFR for 29 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.

The confident tone is doing a lot of work that the evidence is not.

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

Removed a chain here. The rule is one line long and it is not negotiable.

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

what is bac water — bacteriostatic water, preservative included

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

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

what is a COA — certificate of analysis, document from the lab

what is a COA — certificate of analysis, document from the lab

Disagree on that part. 99.0% and 98.9% on the same vial is normal.

Week 16 or week 39?

This is a good question, genuinely.

Week 10 or week 39?

u/saskia_bakker9 points·1 months ago

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

Dead space in the needle hub holds a small but non-trivial volume. On low-volume draws that can be several units.

u/tidy_vialdrawer_pls9 points·1 months ago

Yeah, that is totally normal for week 11.

Yeah, that is totally normal for week 2.

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.
