I’m a competitive bodybuilding fan
that made sense when I said it to myself. I got into Reta because all the bodybuilding podcasts starting talking about it. And I was having a hard time getting diet together. Glad I did.
Any heavy lifters out there??

Do you mean bodybuilding as in training for competitions? Or using gear and semi-obsessively focusing on ways to gain muscle/ strength while cutting fat beyond what is considered reasonable for our “age?”Dang. Was hoping I found another bodybuilding fan that could discuss it with me. I know no one that has as much an interest and follows it as I do. I begging for BB friends.
I know the MESO forum is full of bodybuilders, but it’s really hard to weed through the bro sarcasm posts to understand what’s serious advice there

Yea. The sport of bodybuilding. Competitions. I’m on other forums. Can not stand Meso. One time one of my forums got over run by a group of meso guys that got kicked off. And they were the worst of the worst.Do you mean bodybuilding as in training for competitions?

Ok, glad to know I’m not the only one who doesn’t “get it” when reading there. I’ll have to venture outside of here, Reddit, and preppy’s for more bodybuilding (pro-gear fitness) communities. No Facebook though!
Maybe I’m overlooking a helpful subreddit, though, if you have a recommendation there.Theotherone55

Meso is trash. That’s the first thing. If you still are on boards, and very few are. You aren’t posting on that bullshit forum lol I rep for a lab on a couple different forums but my main one is ProM. At least that’s where I started.Do you mean bodybuilding as in training for competitions?

Nice. NPC shows?? Or are you pro?? I used to rep for one too. With my new job just had to stop two years ago. Wish I could keep doing it.

No pro card, just npc. A regional show in June and then USAs come July. Been a long offseason and I’m the biggest I’ve ever been so I’m soo ready to cut and slim down lol
Nah you’re right. Reddit is bad lol equal to Meso in some regards. If you just want basic info, ask questions and learn some new shit, ASF (anabolicsteroidforum) is good. ProM has some smart guys. Lots of high level discussions and good content. But they can be a rough crowd when asking basic shit lol lotsss of well know Pros and coaches were brought up there. Basically alll of my foundational coaching info I learned from that place (and working with coaches of course)Ok, glad to know I’m not the only one who doesn’t “get it” when reading there.

Preppy’s was a typo Lol. Peppy’s, the other more general peptide forum that is hosted on Discourse.

Ok great to know there are more fitness/gear-focused forums aside from MESO. I will check these out. Hopefully plenty of female users as well. Finding sources for “optimal” hormone, thyroid, and blood marker levels vs. “recommended” is quite the journey.

Super jealous @Theotherone55 I never had the appetite of discipline food wise to get anywhere near 3 bills.

It’s very much an eating game man. Progressively…over years and years. “Oh I wanna be 220.” Then “I wanna be 220 with abs.” It keeps going year after year and do it long enough you’re a very large person. Very much a genetics thing too.
And I was always a lifter, just enjoyed training which almost is a necessity to make the years go by quick. Did PL first and then made the switch to BBing.

Have you competed before ??
Lol same. Steve been talking about them a long time. I felt like I was seeing no progress at all woth my diet for a while so after lots and lots of research I was finally ready to try Reta. The sides and results balance finally looked right for me. Btw, not a BB, I've been training for nearly 20yr though. No cycles, but I follow a few of the BB community guys as well as wellnes and health types.I’m a competitive bodybuilding fan
First thing I was gonna say about your initial post was check all your blocks first. Sleep, macros, meal timing and carb timing, hydration, electrolyte balance. Seems like you got it so far. But if you didn't I would have said look at methylene blue and/or low dose caffeine if the above didn't address it.

I was taking mb for a little while. After I got hurt and was out of work I stopped. I’m gonna get back on it. I got some mots-c on the way to help with some fatigue. I’ve been getting better workouts making sure to eat right before working out. Also added in some highly branches cyclic dextrin.
P
I started taking the MB to prevent and possible adohenia that may arise from high doses of bpc/tb500. I ran it for a week before the healing protocol and I felt a difference, no caffeine even, so I hung onto it. As for fat loss, idk, im not sure on that one lol.
I haven't messed with dex/malto/wms or any of the new fangled carbs in years. Steel cut oats and/or dates are my go to for years now. Love some oats.
Part of the reason I chose Reta was no fatigue sides were reported so I haven't looked at mots-c. I use to run a lot of citrulline in my pwo, with cm, salt, mg, k, and glycerol for extended heavy resistance workouts. It's basically a water holding stack, it made a difference pushing into the 2hr territory. I don't train that way any longer though.
