Well I'm really proud of you for doing the dexa. That's so important. You can't deceive yourself anymore, but at least you know what you are working with.

At lot of guys don't listen to all this advice, but you just did everything we have been discussing on this thread that has PROVEN results.

Yup conservative doses on all to start, wanted to find a rhythm since I had no baseline on any of it. Feeling good. Just shocked by the facts of the numbers. It's the wake up I needed and a reminder that this is a marathon as much as I hate that term.

In my mind I was 20-25% body fat and going to 10-15 in the next 6 months. Thought process was just allll wrong and unrealistic


Im in that same spot. When I started out, end of November, I was going to be chiseled by this month. I'm not haha

I knew I was bigger than I should've been and still am avoiding the scale because I would like to weigh myself once I'm content instead of chasing after lb numbers

I used Superpower and did the draw at Quest here in CS. You can pick as few or as many tests / markers as you want and they send a really thorough synopsis with the results along with actionable suggestions. You can then dig in as deep as you want on any item in the results and confer with one of their physicians if you want to.

Anyone personally ran 5 amino 1mq? It's had my curiosity for a couple reasons but I read mixed results online. I'm about to take a month or two break from Reta and thought about running it in the meantime to help with fat loss and energy levels. Thoughts?

I'm on my fifth week of taking 5-Amino right now (running it alongside reta), and have liked it. I take 1 mg in the mornings when I wake up. That ends up being pre-workout if I'm working out that morning or if I'm not working out then just when I wake up. I do think the fat loss and energy effects are noticeable.

I had originally planned for a 10-week cycle, but after this week I may bump it up to 1.5 mg/day, which would shorten my cycle some since I just bought one 50mg vial.

Peptira has another sale going on for the 4th

Advertised as 35% but it drives me bonkers since it isnt. It is 20 percent, then a 10 percent referral code discount and then 5 percent stacked if you route money ACH

So actually 31.6% off if using all three or 28% using the 20% and 10% off

Started Reta in February. Worked up to 3mg a week (15 units twice a week). It worked great. Went from around 220 to 180. Taking a break from it now but wow I feel so much better it is crazy. I had some basic bloodwork done in January that showed me to be insulin resistance. I had all the symptoms that came with that as well. Need to get it rechecked but I've never felt better.

Started the ipa/tesa combo about 12 weeks ago and I am shredding fat. I have a great workout plan, an active job (ball coach), and have been really locked in with the diet. Haven't had a drop of alcohol since New Years. Had a scan done recently while weighing in around 168lbs and 10.8% body fat. This is the best shape I've been in since high school, and even then I wasn't as strong or cut as I am now.

Great stuff! Not to mention the Wolverine stack has made my hip and back feel much better.

Been reading through this thread.

I guess my nervousiness is two fold:

1. In a sense, you're just hoping what you ordered is right. Seems some companies are more reputable than others, but there's always some sort of risk right?

2. Having confidence on mixing the meds together and injecting properly.

1.) I have never had an adverse reaction and we take risks all day. To quote someone I saw online "I went down on a tinder date 5 minutes after meeting her you think I care about peptides" ok his statement was a bit extreme and gross but you get the drift. I more worry that it's not as pure and then I am under-dosing more than I am worried about potential issues

2.). It's pretty easy. There are apps that can help and tons of videos. I use Peptides Calculator app. It's easy and helps me keep track of dosage and days.

I highly recommend this app. It's not a subscription base model like the others. Free version is good but I wanted to track my TRT which needs the premium version but it's a one time fee. He constantly puts out new updates and has answered my questions promptly. I've been very impressed with this app.

I didn't measure, but I'd say between 20-25% more than likely.

I've used SPT for a few months now and it's awesome. I agree that it's best to pay the one time fee for all the extra features. I use it to track all the inventory, protocols, and dosages of all my peps, aminos, and TRT.

And yes, he is very responsive. I submitted a support email to see if they could add MK-777 and he emailed me back and had it added within a few hours.

I highly recommend it.

The next avenue is peptide injector pens. Just bought 5 of them. Been using one for my TRT injection and love it. So I bought some more for the ones I do daily. So much quicker and easier.

Yeah, pens are great. I wonder why he's so adamant against V2 pens. From what I've seen those are the most popular out there.

I bought this one and went thru TSA with no questions. Didn't ask or pull my bag. I like that it holds 6 vials. He has different sizes too.

Here's his main page.

When I'm traveling with pens just leave the insert out of the canister and the pens slide right in.

I bought this one on Amazon. It's not the best but works for the trips I take. Went through tsa no problem

For tracking I use https://tracker.joshholyfield.com it allows me to track peptides and supplements, has a built in reconstitution calculator if you need it, tracks how many units you need, tracks where your last injection was for each item you take, you can set as many reminders a day as you want per item, set cycle dates, titration schedules, etc.

I just got some V4 pens in from peptidecritic.com and can't believe how much quicker and easier it is, definitely the way to go for daily injections.

For travel I got one of these: https://a.co/d/0gtXTMJX
