Conditions that change the calculus rather than forbidding it Replied, post #33 · Safety › Contraindications · 27 Jul 2026 · 13 likes Posting my conditions numbers with the method attached so they can be discounted properly. Uncontrolled, unblinded, and collected by someone who wanted a particular…

Seven-day rolling means and why weekly readings mislead Replied, post #117 · Outcomes › Progress reports · 26 Jul 2026 · 13 likes I read post #113 twice before replying, because I had assumed the opposite. Day-to-day body mass varies by more than a kilogram on hydration, glycogen and gut contents…

Coming back to: Why a preprint's supplementary material is often the best part Replied, post #117 · Evidence › Preprints · 26 Jul 2026 · 14 likes Thank you for taking the time. That was more work than a reply usually is.

What a certificate commits its issuer to Replied, post #68 · Analytics › COA interpretation · 20 Jul 2026 · 19 likes Reading old certificates: if a certificate is dated years ago, the lot it describes might be old. That is not automatically a problem but it is worth noting. Fresh…

Revisiting: Protein density versus volume when you cannot eat much Replied, post #73 · Nutrition & Training › Protein & intake · 17 Jul 2026 · 6 likes Picking up post #72: that is the part I would want checked first.

[2026 update] Interpreting a result that disagrees with the supplier's certificate Replied, post #69 · Sourcing › Independent verification · 6 Jul 2026 · 14 likes Post #68 is right about the mechanism and I think understates the practical bit. A supplier's own certificate is not independent. It can be posted, it is useful, and it…

Sleep apnoea improving and the equipment implications Replied, post #11 · Wellbeing › Sleep · 3 Jul 2026 · 31 likes The published data on sleep outcomes in this class is thinner than the volume of discussion, which is worth saying plainly.

[2026 update] Regional warehouse stock versus direct despatch Replied, post #117 · Sourcing › Logistics · 29 Jun 2026 · 21 likes I had written a reply contradicting post #113 and deleted it. Here is what survived. Import restrictions by jurisdiction: what is legal to import for personal use…

Publication patterns in the BPC-157 literature, examined Replied, post #17 · Compounds › Repair & healing peptides · 20 Jun 2026 · 23 likes Two sentences on publication patterns and then I will stop, because the rest is speculation and the thread is better without mine. What is documented is narrow. What is…

Coming back to: Lateral-flow and colorimetric approaches: the specificity problem Replied, post #46 · Analytics › Home & field testing · 13 Jun 2026 · 22 likes Ultraviolet absorbance at 280 nanometres estimates concentration for peptides containing aromatic residues and gives nothing for peptides that do not. Knowing which…

Second pass at: Programming during a large energy deficit Replied, post #24 · Nutrition & Training › Resistance training · 12 Jun 2026 · 12 likes Progression during a deficit may mean maintaining rather than adding, and framing that as success rather than stagnation is more accurate. If that reads as pedantic, it…

Reference intervals: how they are constructed and why one in twenty flags — does this… Replied, post #4 · Clinical › Bloodwork · 11 Jun 2026 · 0 likes Agreed, and I will stop repeating the version of this I had been repeating.
