    Best pep for building muscle and definition

    Yes, while on reta and TRT. I saw 3lb of visceral fat reduction on 300mcg IPA/2mg tesa on a 5/2 10 week schedule. I also saw a significant increase in my insulin levels.

    Injectable l-carnitine

    I keep looking at home brewing it. The dosages used for it to have an effect are so high that it is stupidly expensive from most everywhere - .6-1g/day

    peptide suppliers from India or elsewhere?

    China is definitely a part of the opioid crisis. One of the more popular vendors, SRY, has even been indicted for it. I would assume that all of our favorite drug dealers are dealing all the drugs they can make money off of. That way you won't be disappointed when you find out its true.

    Lipo C looks very weird.

    I'm not familiar with Lipo-C in specific but yeah, some things come out of suspension at a bit below room temp. Depending on the temps outside it could have crashed. If warming it up like Andy mentioned resolves the issue, I'd probably go for it. Some formulations will do better at lower...

    Any heavy lifters out there??

    From what I've heard from listening to IFBB pros talking about their cuts, I don't know that there is any standard approach. Seems to vary a lot from coach to coach, and even more if an individual is self coaching.

    Unable to inject meds.

    While I believe the janoshik testing on freezing tirz, this post indicates you should be a bit more careful before you act as an authoritative source. You'll notice there is a key word in your quote - dryers. Part of the lyophilization process involves creating a vacuum and drying out the vial...

    To filter or not to filter, that is the question

    HPLC purity tests tell you the purity of whatever they are testing for, not the composition of what is in the vial. That puck you see is almost entirely excipient, generally mannitol. A purity test tells you absolutely nothing about contaminants of most kinds, be it bacteria, mold, heavy...

    WARNING: Beware of SRY – Don’t Get Ripped Off!

    It looks like this case was legitimate, but we've seen a whole lot of examples of people sending crypto to the wrong place. Wrong coin, wrong network, etc. I've seen 5 or 6 similar complaints in the past few months and all of them ended up being the fault of the person sending the payment. In...

    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...

    Topicals suck.

    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...

    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

    People on higher doses lose more, but there's always a variety of factors to remember when it comes to the scale.

    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...

    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.

    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...

    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.
