Good morning everyone!
I hope you all had a great weekend!
This is my 7 day cutting cycle update. I use a Hume scale that monitors body composition, in past comparisons it has proven just as accurate, or even better than the body composition tools at local gyms. This doesn't mean its 100%, but, it is close enough for these purposes.
I started the cutting cycle on Sunday of last week. I'm running Retatrutide, CJC1295, SLU-PP-332 and added in 5-Amino on Thursday. Dosing is as follows:
- Reta - Started at 500mcg 2x per week. Upped that to 1mg 2x per week on my second injection (Wednesday)
- CJC-1295 Started at 250mcg 2x per week. I mixed it with the reta, so I'm now at 500mcg 2x per week
- SLU 250mcg daily
- 5-Amino 50mg 2x per day
The first time I took Reta 500mcg 2x per week killed my appetite - too much. The addition of CJC was in part to help with this, and to help preserve muscle while cutting. At the 1mg (Reta) and 500mch (CJC) 2x per week dose, I have enough appetite to eat when I need to, but no desire to snack, and I dont feel hungry.
The results so far have truly blown my mind. I will say, these should not be expected results for everyone. I have been in the gym on a regular basis for over 20 years and have gone through a number of cut/bulk cycles, so perhaps my body is adjusted to that, and that is why I am seeing these results.
Also of note. Over the years I have tried about every Anabolic related to building muscle and cutting. The most potent was of course Tren. It did a wonderful job during a recomp, but not at this rate, and it did have some negative side effects.
