Yes it’s easier to game LWC. I hope eventually it becomes big enough so that I can convince the company providing the test to cryptographically sign their output, so at least this editing concern is gone.
(Note phenotypic age only plays in 2025 season, the aging clock used changes every year.)

Hi @nopara73, it’s me Alan V. I used to be #1 on LWC! I have fallen from grace

This forum keeps surprising me. BTW you were not only #1, but also the very first athlete ever : )
I hope you noticed you got the “Athlete Zero” badge? Hah

Yes, I noticed lol! I’ll probably be submitting labs again when I’m no longer in a steep caloric deficit. When’s the cutoff for the end of this season again?
Dec 31 last blood sample to be taken and tested, you can still submit till around mid January because of that. BTW note I’m planning to disqualify partial and non-same day result, which might affect you slightly. As you recall it’s now best biomarker wins, but that turned out to be a bad decision based on the feedback that I received.

The setup is stupid. Everyone should probably be talking creatine, but that will raise creatinine levels significantly, especially those taking higher doses.
This is the problem with biomarkers they are affected by lots of things.

Surely the current season’s biological aging clock is imperfect and probably all future season’s clocks will be in some way, but if this is stupid then what does that tell you about throwing a ball into a basket? 
Your contest is a good thing, but I am not interested in gaming my own biomarkers for any particular algorithm.
It’s more exciting?
And pays a lot better.
For now. It’s still day one
