Can you build lean muscle while taking to Rapamycin? Is there a risk of sarcopenia when taking low dose Rapamycin long term?

The evidence is pretty good that rapamycin prevents sarcopenia.
Here are some such studies that report this benefit:
- Rapamycin protects aging muscle (2019 Research Paper)
- Rapamycin Rescues Age-Related Changes in Muscle-Derived Stem/Progenitor Cells from Progeroid Mice
- Rapamycin rescues mitochondrial myopathy via coordinated activation of autophagy and lysosomal biogenesis
- Age-related muscle loss: Study finds rapamycin may delay sarcopenia; diet, exercise key to minimise decay
Also - I recommend you read these past threads on rapamycin and muscle:
