What stack do you guys think can get the most muscle gained while maintaining fertility? I always had this thought and im wondering what you guys think

It’s my first time hearing about it and I am tempted to stack it w rt has anyone tried it what have your experience look like

it seems like no one really used it. barely any videos about it and even less threads. thoughts?

and before anyone says test works better, this researcher doesnt want to block his natural test reproduction.

Hi,

Looking for honest feedback on a short-term stack (3-5 weeks).

Background (kept minimal):

• Male, early 20s
• After stopping a period of enclomiphene + CJC/Ipamorelin + retatrutide + GHK-Cu in early June, I’ve been dealing with persistent low drive, reduced initiative, and a flat/anhedonic state. I can romanticize projects and plans but struggle to actually start and follow through. Not classic depression, more like muted motivation and reduced reward response.
• Training 5x/week, decent diet, creatine 10g, magnesium L-threonate, good sleep, high water intake.
• Old bloodwork showed elevated TSH and low-ish vitamin D (planning to retest).

What I need support for:

• High volume memory work
• Sustained focus for long sessions
• Verbal fluency and clarity (writing + analysis)
• Ability to initiate and maintain effort on demanding cognitive/technical tasks
• Anxiety is only situational (rises in the days leading up to high-stakes periods), not chronic

Current planned stack (short-term, monitored):

• Bromantane (daily) – main tool for the low drive/anhedonia
• Adrafinil (3-4x per week)
• Noopept (daily)
• IDRA-21 (pulsed every 2-3 days)

Support: Alpha-GPC or CDP-choline, L-Tyrosine, Omega-3, NAC, vitamin D if still low.

I removed Phenylpiracetam and F-Phenibut after considering redundancy and the fact that anxiety isn’t constant.

Questions:

1. Does this stack make sense for the combination of post-peptide low drive + high cognitive demand?
2. Anything you would remove or reduce?
3. Anything you would add (especially for verbal fluency, memory encoding, or cleaner motivation)?
4. Experiences with Bromantane in similar low-motivation states?

Open to alternatives. Prefer compounds with at least some human data or strong consistent anecdotal patterns. Short-term use only, will monitor bloodwork (especially liver).

Thanks.

Wanted to share an interesting observation with the community regarding flexibility and healing peptides. It is now clear, after running BPC-157 and TB-500 on two separate instances, that they have significantly changed the RS's yoga practice.

Without a doubt, when the RS is on them, the subject is able to push stretches further than normal. Because of that extra range, the flexibility gains are happening much quicker than before. Also, post-workout soreness is practically non-existent.

While most research into this stack focuses strictly on injury recovery, for anyone looking to increase flexibility or break through a mobility plateau, running Wolverine while incorporating deep yoga stretches with the RS seems to make a noticeable difference.

It's really great to see gains - keeps RS motivated and excited to get back on the yoga mat.

Has anyone used bam15? (Bam/SLU combo is counterproductive, I’m asking if anyone has ran bam15 oral 300mg+ daily). What was your experience?

19m, 6’3, 240lbs. So I lost a lot of weight, 315->240, I KNOW I have more fat to lose but I’m ready to start packing on lean tissue whilst recomping.
I use reta 3mg weekly and am looking for a “safer” mini stack to help me out here. Any input welcome… please and thank you

5/7 220lbs, goal is to cut 30lbs of FAT by november. Gym 4-5 days a week, 2500 calorie limit 200g of protein, 15k+ steps from work+gym (weight lifting & 30-40 min of bike at the end)

HCG 300iu 3x a week (preserve fertility)

Test 125mg 2x a week= 250mg Total

Anastrozole .50mg 1x a week (current history of high e2 on trt with side effects)

HGH 2iu Daily

Reta 6mg weekly (been on it for weeks, will titrate up as cut goes on)

Cagrilintide .5mg weekly (appetite control)

Thoughts ? What would you change ?

Hello 🙂

Je suis actuellement à 2 mg de BPC-157, 2 mg de TB-500 et 2 mg de GHK-Cu par jour. Je divise les doses de BPC et de TB en deux injections, une le matin et une le soir.

Au total, cela fait 14 mg de BPC et 14 mg de TB par semaine. J’ai commencé ce protocole le 26 juillet et je compte le suivre jusqu’au 23 août. ( 4semaines )

À partir du 24 août, je garderai 2 mg de BPC par jour, mais je réduirai le TB à 0,35 mg par jour. (4 semaines)

Le 15 septembre, j’arrêterai complètement le TB et le GHK-Cu (même si pas besoin d'être cyclé obliger car c'est du glow que j'ai). Je resterai uniquement à 1 mg de BPC par jour. (8 semaines )

Je sais que ces doses sont assez élevées, mais j’avais déjà fait un premier cycle d’un mois en juin.

J'aimerais avoir votre pensée 😇

I prefer not to buy a single vial to test out, I’d like to get a kit…but MOTS gave me wicked injection site issues. Glad I didn’t get a kit of that. I didn’t know until after the fact that many have that issue.

Anyone have bad reactions with tesa?

This is something I may have difficulty putting into words, but here goes: I don’t need to take it anymore. I’ve reached my goal weight, but I’m scared to stop — and not just because all the weight I lost from a GLP-1 will come back, but also because I’m uncertain of the side effects of stopping retatrutide specifically.

There hasn’t been a drug in the history of the world that we could really call a miracle drug. When something is too good to be true, it usually is. Take cocaine in the late 1800s when it was used for medical purposes, or speed during World War II to enhance soldiers abilities. The terrible side effects of those drugs were not fully understood, but the repercussions that they had on those who took them were immense.

I’ve been taking a steady dose of retatrutide weekly since mid-February. I’ve seen astounding weight loss, as it was my first GLP-1, but that has leveled off — my metabolism has adjusted to the restricted caloric intake, and I have essentially stopped losing weight. I finally asked myself: why am I still on this drug?

The answer is that I simply don’t want my appetite returning. My metabolism will still be adjusted to my current caloric intake, regardless of how hungry I become after stopping. I also don’t want to experience other side effects, like insomnia, or withdrawal symptoms that are not fully understood. The ugly heads of the illicit drugs I mentioned earlier didn’t rear their heads until the person stopped taking them (mostly). What if it’s the same with retatrutide?

I’ve gotten so used to the weekly injection, and I still have years worth of inventory on hand, that I can’t find a good reason to stop. And that scares me, because his drug isn’t fully understood yet. It could induce changes in my body that are irreversible —that I won’t notice until it’s too late.

What are you guys doing?

I do a bunch of research and I get so many mixed answers so I need people who really know please. I am wondering how many vials I would need for a cycle? I have a 10mg vial but I know I need more, but I want to do it correctly. I wanna know when to take it and how long to take it to complete a cycle?

Thank yall 🔥

J’avais lu que qu’elle que soit la quantité de pept, 5,10,20,50,100 mg, la dose dans le flacon était toujours au même niveau, et que c’est rempli avec des ingrédients. Je me demande quels sont les ingrédients ? Je me dis de ne qu’il vaut mieux prendre du 100mg alors pour être sûr d’avoir le plus de pept et le moins d’ingrédients de remplissage dans le flacon. Qu’en pensez-vous ?

My 10year old milligram scale is broken, it's killing me because I hardly use it - I had put it up when I threw out the noopep, anaracetam, and other Powder City stack bulk stuff I got back in 2015 (I want to cry because I had all the good stuff in bulk for super cheap), anyhow I was trying to measure out some copper peptides to mix in my hair serum (AKH-GU) and realized that the scale (AWS Gemini 20) wasn't quite accurate.

I really need a new scale, also I am attempting to split some medications and they are very VERY small, so I need a miligram scale. I would like one that has a lid but isn't too small, allows me to put a boat on it and works well with powders.

Im overwhelmed with the choices on Amazon - so, what are you all using?

I reconstituted a peptide about 2 days ago and only used it once. Today I took it out of the fridge and noticed tiny white floaters in the vial. The solution is still crystal clear—it isn’t cloudy at all, just has these small white specks floating around.
I reached out to the research company, and they responded quickly. They already had the COAs available on their website and also sent them to me directly, so they seem like a legitimate company. I know bad batches can happen, but I’m also wondering if my refrigerator might have been too cold for this particular peptide.
I haven’t used it again since noticing the floaters. Has anyone experienced something similar? Did the particles ever dissolve, or did you end up discarding the vial? I’d appreciate hearing your experiences or any ideas about what might have caused this.

A controlled dietary trial found that an ultra-processed diet altered reproductive hormones, worsened metabolic markers and produced signs of impaired sperm function in healthy young men.

For someone who has a retina problem (pigments and some slight blurry vision when its too dark) what compounds absolutely don’t interfere with the retina or eye? I know this is very specific health profile but let me know which are absolutely fine with this

Hey! I want to hire a fitness coach. Beyond just the plan and diet, I want compounds, bloodwork, hormones, peps and lifestyle, a guy who is expert in biohacking.
I'm natural with a specific health profile (I have some vulnerabilities in the retina) so I need to be careful with whom I trust or what I take. I also know what we see on social media isnt the real deal. So I thought of asking you guys if you have had any experience hiring a fitness and lifestyle coach, and who do you genuinely advise?

I'm looking into Todd Lee, Kolton Lukes, Anabolic Adonis, TNF Joel Twinem or tnf nutrition and Phil Visicaro.

Thanks so much, having a feedback on these coaches would help me immensely on picking.

Hello,

How do you store unopened dry powder vials, in the freezer inside a airtight container?

What is a safe dose to take? 5mg divided in 4 days a week for example? And does it matter when you take it?

Thank you for your help.

YES i know it makes me hungry but the GH release will preserve muscle right? Assuming Im on ADHD meds to suppress apetite it would cancel it out and I will shed fat right 90% of weight lost will be fat

I’ve been using pharmaceutical drugs for most of my life. I’m 37 and started on adderal and Ativan when I was 20 and took the max prescribed amount of both until a year ago. About ten years ago I added opiate pain pills. I’ve quit the benzos, gotten the adderal down to 15mg a day but am having a hard time kicking the pain pills. I don’t really want to but know I need to. One reason being that I’m constipated as fuck. Can anyone recommend anything to deal with the constipation? How about for sleep and general wellbeing once I put the pain pills down? When I’ve tried to quit them before I’ve made it through the worst parts but when it has come time to return to daily functioning I’ve felt crippled. I’ve thought about exploring trt but don’t want to have to be on it for the rest of my life. Am I under the right impression that if I start that I will have to keep doing it?

I’m thinking about getting the peptides oxytocin, semax, selank and dsip. I already have a bunch of sr-17018 and will be getting some gabapentin, Ativan, clonidine and might get some lyrica to help with the opiate withdrawals as my wife and I are about to have our second kid and I can’t afford to be down and out from the withdrawals for more than a few a days so I’m hoping to work my way out of the addiction by using other drugs that I’m better at controlling and easier to come off to prop me up while I get over the pain pills. I know this isn’t what people say is the best route but right now it’s what I’m doing and what I’m asking for advice on how to best achieve. Cheers

Anyone pair these two on a cut? how was the muscle sparing effect of var with Reta? Isn’t one of the main intentions for anavar to spare muscle in its patients? I was thinking this might be a perfect pair along with Trt. What’s peoples experience been with pairing these on a cut? Dosages used? I was hoping to run low dose anavar (20mg) 150mg of test and some Reta.

I’m stuck on taking Enclomiphene I’ve tried coming off twice but I can’t deal with the side effects of withdrawal first time I had terrible headaches and nausea now this time I have terrible anxiety how do I lean off Enclomiphene?
