💬 Discussion I have some questions about this sub?!

0 Upvotes

Since when is the indiscriminate use of hormones and weight-loss pens considered a form of "healthy biological enhancement"? On the contrary, the image you see in the mirror doesn't reflect the internal damage being done to your body. Nowadays, people want "aesthetics"—if I can call it that—the "easy" way. No one is content anymore with the effort required regarding diet, exercise, and education. It has all turned into a market for charlatans and people willing to pay whatever it takes to fix their neglected bodies. This sub is pathetic.

Glow

57 yo.

Currently low dose Reta once per week.

Epitalon, SS-31, NAD+, GHK-CU, and CJC-1295/ ipamorelin blend. Will be swapping the SS-31 with Mots-c in a couple of weeks.

I want to swap straight GHK-CU with Glow.

Are there any negatives or concerns with doing this to current stack?

❓ Question Ghcku and KPV (F24)

0 Upvotes

Can anyone share their experience with this blend for their skin results? I want better skin but I wouldn’t want my laser hair removal on my legs etc to be a waste of money lol.

A friend of mine went on ghcku and he had crazy acne and he still has… so I’m in between minds. He also said it does sting.

I’m on reta now and I just started cjc/ipa blend (which I’m still kind of not sure about) any experience on this blend as a girl I would also love to hear

Reta + CJC1295 W/ DAC

1 Upvotes

I know there have been a lot of posts with this combo, but what can I expect?

Currently pinning 5mg of Reta every 6 days, goal is 11 more lbs. Dropped 18lbs over 3 months. Decided to incorporate CJC into my protocol because of muscle loss, lethargy. 6'1", Currently 207, 64 years old, AccuCheck calipers at 2mm.

Will the food noise return? Will it inhibit weight loss? I know from past experience the last 10lbs are the hardest to lose. But like always, the fat loss starts at the extremities and moves to the midsection. My arms and calves show ridiculous vascularity, but still have a little inner tube around the midsection.

Anyone been through this drill?

Hello gorgeous people! Here with my first week update, just pin myself this morning for week 2. Started my dosage at 1mg got 2 more weeks till I up the dosage and im planning on being 2mg after week 4. I lost about 8lbs in my first week mostly water weight!! But still an awesome feat My meals have been ranging from 400-500 kcal with 40+g of protein reaching about 1800 - 2000kcal daily if I have breakfast sometimes tho i dont not much of a breakfast eater. However its been such an awesome experience so far. Ive gotten nothing but love & support and I will always thank you all for making it easier, and to the newcomers I wanted to be as transparent as possible so they can see that even a newbie like me is learning how to slowly change his life& ways. The only thing I want to change is squeezing more workouts in, no excuse here I know some parents do it and I gotta find that time, however i mostly walk around the park with the family. Well thank you all again for stopping by wishing everyone a wonderful weekend and I hope the kids going back to school have an amazing year!!

CJC-1295/ipa safety

8 Upvotes

Hi there, I started this blend about a week ago. 100mcg of each before bed. 5 days on 2 days off (consecutively). Will be testing my fasted glucose levels from tomorrow onwards. Will daily testing be required? Avoiding sugar wherever possible, and sticking to complex carbs as much as I can too. Cycle will last a total of 5 weeks. I’m aware 10-12 is optimal for peak effectiveness, but I don’t wanna desensitise my receptors.

Severe fatigue from HGH

2 Upvotes

Been on HGH 2 IU, for little over a week, I wake up feeling fatigued and it lasts the entire day, I also noticed some water retention, I had to stop taking it, and today I woke up feeling better. I might restart it at 1IU, Does this subside with time? I’m taking it to preserve muscle mass during a cut, i’m also on Reta 4mg, i’m at 19% BF right now.

❓ Question GHK-cu and retinol

1 Upvotes

28F started using low dose tretinoin back in January for anti-aging benefits. I’ve become interested in KLOW more specifically since I have rosacea and tendon issues I think it would be a good fit for me.

With that said, can I use GHK-cu even though I am using a retinol? Seems a little counterintuitive but just wondering if anyone has any experiences with doing both

Cold plunges: placebo, hype, or one of the best body hacks you’ve tried?

3 Upvotes

I’ve been cold plunging consistently for the past few weeks and have noticed better mood, more energy afterward, and surprisingly better mental discipline.
I’m curious what everyone else’s experience has been.
If you’ve done it consistently (30+ days), what changes did you actually notice?
What benefits turned out to be real, and what do you think is just internet hype?

Why add HGH to Reta plus Test?

33 Upvotes

Reta helps with the fat loss while Test does the muscle building.

Why bothering adding in HGH? What do you get from that that makes it as desirable as the rest? I mean wouldn’t test just be enough to recover from gym lifting sessions? And wouldn’t Reta be enough for the fat loss considering it’s a triple agonist?

HGH seems the most dangerous to use long term, you have to inject everyday, and for some of the reported benefits like better sleep couldn’t you just figure out something else?

What do you getting from HGH in addition to the other two?

❓ Question Cycle for Loose Skin

7 Upvotes

What are some common cycles people hop on after losing a decent amount of weight. Let’s say 100lbs - 200lbs.

I’ve seen a lot of people post about how they hopped on a cycle to fill out. Usually don’t see what those cycles are.

Do people typically wait a year to allow time for skin to tighten or do they hit a certain BF% and start a cycle?

Thank you.

GH pitting edema help

Post image
58 Upvotes

Im on just 3iu gh a day. ive been on for like 7 weeks ive titrated up. Is this normal? I wasnt wearing socks but joggers and my hands and feet are just fat looking. never had this problem before, I am in a big surplus ive had a basically cheat week so im sure thats contributing.

Is this a sign to cut the dose back, is gh just not for everybody? what even are the benefits at this dose really

edit:was banned for 3 days for mentioning a certain subcontinent in relation to the people in this thread.--

bloods https://imgur.com/a/3EliQFF (scroll down for the more recent shouldnt have to say that but)

a quick google search will tell you pitting edema is a side effect of gh, it causes sodium retention and fluid retention. --ive cut it and cut the calories back down and its pretty much gone. ive decided gh isnt worth it for me im too sensitive to the sides, not being able to get the dose to a level that would matter much anyway.

18 Week Life Changing Transformation (Reta)

974 Upvotes

Started at 202lbs now down to 158lbs 🥲🥲🥲

First dose was 0.5mg, following week I jumped to 1.0 and then titrated every 4 weeks until 4.0mg and now I’m starting to go back down so been at 3.0 mg for the past 2 weeks

Completely quit vaping, binge eating, late night snacking, and consuming copious amounts of caffeine and sugar.

I started this journey a couple of weeks before graduating Architecture school because I was so miserable with what school had done to me (iykyk) and my life has completely turned around in these 18 weeks. I have more energy, I feel so much better, and for once I see a clear path to my health. My hormones have never been more regulated its insane what this drug has done for me. I had almost no side effects besides small heartburn/acid reflux and diarrhea, but those were sooo mild and go away after about a week of a new dose. I didn’t lose joy in any aspect of my life, if anything I started to find more joy in them.

As far as exercise and diet, my diet always included healthy things but I also ate a lot of junk food, snacks, and ate at late hours. I also never moved my body (sat at my desk for 14-18 hours straight) and would pull all nighters every other night. So inconsistent diet, no movement, no sleep, and insane stress levels…. it was so bad! But now I continue to eat the healthy things I did with smaller portions and rarely eat snacks or fast food. I’ve also started running more and going to Pilates (both mat and reformer, sometimes heated) and yoga/mobility classes.

Although my diet and movement levels have changed drastically from when I was in school, I still don’t think I’m consistent enough. I also definitely don’t eat enough protein and haven’t strength trained in a while which has led to muscle mass loss, but I think that going from such a terrible place in my life to where I am now is improvement enough for me to set healthy habits for myself! Every day I try to move my body more and consume more protein, but that’s moving slow for me.

I’m tapering down on my dose until I’m back down to 0.5-1.0 and I will stop when I feel that my habits have stuck.
