    Anyone else started a TRT journey with grey?

    Those are 12ml vials at k4l, though. Not sure what the GoodRX vial size is. My pharma was 4x 1ml vials for $5/mo, so still cheaper, but not as big of a difference as it initially appears.

    Anyone else started a TRT journey with grey?

    I'd avoid SERMs. Enclo and clomiphene protocols are fundamentally based off protocols from the 60s, and Enclo failed to receive approval from the FDA and it's European counterpart because they did not find it to be a good option. Clomiphene has also been linked to significant adverse effects...

    Anyone else started a TRT journey with grey?

    Topicals suck. Lots of people see their response drop over time, you have to worry about it coming into contact with any women in your life, etc. Definitely recommend going the injectable route whether you end up going through a doctor or UGLs From the safety of the actual compounds, it's the...

    Best pep for building muscle and definition

    One thing to be careful of with CJC/Ipa/Tesa is that some people see fairly strong allergic reactions to them, up to and including anaphylaxis. If often starts with site level reactions and progressively gets worse as they continue use. Muscle recovery on most people is almost always dietary...

    Best pep for building muscle and definition

    If you're going to be injecting substances into your body to promote muscle growth, steroids are the ones that will provide real effect. This is not me advocating for doing steroids, to be clear. The closest we have at current on the peptide side are GH secretagogues, but the levels they will...

    Brother, you keep calling them a company and yourself a consumer. I sympathize - you can find some posts from me in here talking similarly in the past. Not from me getting fucked over, but from poor customer service for someone else around bitcoin price fluctuations and some similar things. If...

    Most vendors only offer reships, not refunds. And if the reship gets seized you might get nothing at all.

    The more, the more you lose?

    I'm on TRT dosages (I'm in physiological range on my bloodwork). I've got a big stockpile of AAS, but I bought it because of the reports of raw shortages, etc. It definitely helps being towards the top of the range instead of below the range, though. I'm not going to be blasting until my BF is...

    Guidance Requested: [mod removed vendor name]=weight gain

    The more, the more you lose?

    People on higher doses lose more, but there's always a variety of factors to remember when it comes to the scale. If you're lifting weights and getting enough protein, you might be building muscle while losing fat (and in that case, is the scale weight really important?), you could be retaining...

    Concerns with husbands rapid weight loss on peptides

    A lot of this is probably water weight. I lost about 10lb of it damn near overnight when I started on Tirz. 20ish lb in 3 weeks at the start is fairly normal. You want someone to have liability, shell out for the real deal. No one here is going to sugarcoat it and pretend that if something goes...

    Yeah. It should lyophilize into one clump but there's no reason to believe anything bad happens when the puck breaks up in shipping or whatever.

    Yes. This is why it is called 'harm reduction' not 'harm prevention.' Everyone is entitled to make their own choices and determine their own risk tolerance but part and parcel of most communities like this is discussion on how to minimize all of the risks we can.

    It hasn't been tried because people haven't pushed them to do it. If the constituents don't demand it, the governments won't do it.

    I have Afib with RVR. What has been your experience been with increased heartrate from Reta?

    I swapped to Reta in December. It still increases my RHR by around 10-12ish bpm. Nebivolol has not made an impact on it, despite me hoping it would. It doesn't seem to do much to my maximum HR during exercise - that has been the same before/after. In the studies it seemed to abate after 4-6...

    This is true for bodybuilders, but they also are dieting to extreme levels of bf% for shows. 4-7%. Natural bodybuilders will lose more muscle, enhanced will lose less. And 'muscle memory' lets your body rebuild lost muscle mass pretty quick once you get back into a surplus. AAS are...

    Let's talk GLP1's downfall - MUSCLE LOSS

    Resistance training and adequate protein intake are enough to stave off muscle loss for most people. Increasing your IGF-1 might increase the muscle satellite cell proliferation but that won't do much of anything without the resistance training and protein as well.

    K4L claims to source from a few different places but some of their stuff is almost certainly Lobster. I had significant water retention, some carpal tunnel, etc., even on secretagogues. I am skeptical that water retention, etc., has anything to do with the "quality" of HGH.
