Does losing weight necessarily result in a direct FTP drop?

Hah yea I’d say that is correct.

Also, nice job on the 316! That’s strong!

And sorry, to answer your initial question properly…I think the ftp losses associated with weight loss are largely associated with muscle loss. I would assume that even when fit and light, you’re probably a pretty big guy. That larger amount of muscle mass and limb/lever length is what correlates to higher ftps…not excess fat. And when you have more fat to lose, my impression is that it is easier to lose fat without ladge muscle losses.
