So not trying to be snarky, just genuine curiosity, and I understand if you don't want to answer, but is the weight loss from a healthier lifestyle and a good training regimen or are you also leveraging a Semaglutide based prescription?
focused training and very strict diet
i did gain back about 6 lbs in the past few weeks, but i think its almost all muscle
i lift a lot, and recently started blasting quads and dumbbell press, after ignoring them for a couple years

According to my Garmin I'm 1% too. VO2 Max of 52 age 67.5.
I don’t believe the Garmin VO2 score. I’ve been using Garmin watches and Edge computers for years. I am 53, overweight, but fit and give the flyweights a run for the money except on the longer sustained climbs, and despite making sure my inputs are correct I range from 58 to 65.
What's your weight, FTP, max heart rate and at which heartrate can you do 90% FTP?benp wrote: ↑Sun Sep 01, 2024 4:42 pmI don’t believe the Garmin VO2 score.

105kg, 333W, 171 and absolutely no idea what watts I can hold at 90% FTP, but suspect close to my FTP. I do a lot of rides (upto 3hrs) and come back with a NP of 315-320, so that would suggest my FTP should be higher (however TrainerRoad virtual and Xert all give roughly the same estimate)
