- Start date
you look nice and wide bro @PrinceDaddy but this is 10 weeks out
you need fasting
and you need 2 hours of cardio ED , 1 hour fasted if you want to make it to the show imo
Sunday : 225 upper body presses
Wake Up @ 192
Post Workout @ 189
Step Count: 12K
Androgen Rage : Medium
Cycle Status : Week 1 Cut Cycle
Show Dates : 07/16/2025 / 08/27/2025 (Pro card or bust)
Target Weigh in : 176.25 lbs
Looking at past years, my weight is about where it would be this time of year. Of course the focus is more intense going forward. Will likely start fasting every Friday, and add Mondays later. I already kind of fast Sat and Sun. Will keep grinding, M-F I already do a high step count. About 5 to 6 mile walk. Much work to do.
I feel like I have gotten stronger as I do have more control. Watched an interesting video last night. A youtuber was demonstrating a tricep pull down.
Feels like chasing a rep count is not the way to grow. Instead a reasonable weight with control and intensity. I had already been trying to do this as of late. Hope I see some growth.

Will start fasting on Friday/Sat/Sun this week. I am doing a 2 hour walk M-F and 35 min stair mill. I am doing all the things. I think my body is more focused now after the travel, More consistent. I do have quite a bit to tighten up.

I am much stronger. Really moving thru my workout with ease. Very good control with slower tempo. Ready to shred. Near my last dose of IGF-LR3 and BPC-157. Should finish this week. Will start Retatrutide and SLU-PP332 this Sunday. Orals added in around Memorial Day.
My pull ups are getting much better as well. Doing sets of 10 decent reps now.
Tomorrow looks to be a rainy day so I feel like my outdoor walk will end up being treadmill walking.

looknig fwd to this bro
yea retatrutide bro thats perfect add that and pulls ups getitng your game on
@PrinceDaddy every youtuber is trying to gain clout by re-inventing the wheel. nothing really earth shattering he is saying. i am sure people have known that since the Sandow days
@PrinceDaddy bro prince you got a good plan. i like fasting, we do it on tanker when we run out of food during storms
@PrinceDaddy Bros. Always good to hear from you. You one of my favorite longers, I can't believe you only weigh 190. you look much bigger
@PrinceDaddy love you prince! We really enjoy Seeing you on here, you are an important part of the Evo family.
The issue is that can also mean people stop thinking they did enough. It's a click bait title. Most NEED a target
@Mobster good point mob. it is a clickbait. i think setting new targets comes with the territory and so does taking steps back. especially as we get older
@PrinceDaddy I'm never really looked at it as chasing a rep count. I've looked at it more of maybe pushing an extra rep out when you normally wouldn't, especially when you're on the gear.
Peeps,
My intent was not to promote a fitness influencer. They are a dime a dozen. I am always open to listening. I don't believe in definites. You have to try before you buy and see what works for you.
My point is I feel like I have been chasing reps. I need to do 10 reps. If i don't get it i feel disappointed. However if I get 7 slower reps maybe I have accomplished the same or better. it is time under tension. Sometimes we forget and chase other things. Perspective.
We are all just trying to figure out how to grow.
Let's keep plugging along.

I don't watch as many of these guys as I used to but I what I do is take a little from each and throw it in my training just to mix it up and keep it fresh.
@PrinceDaddy I couldn’t agree more man.

Brought my airline ticket for show 1, hotel reservation was made earlier this year. I am committed. I have a feeling I will be tighter for show 2. That is the way it seems to work each year. All done with the IGF-LR3 and BPC-157. Start Reta and SLU on Sunday.
Great session this morning. Slow controlled movements. I think it looks better and better. With it raining all day, I did not get to do my normal walk. Did walk in the gym along with the 35 min stair master.
Ground Beef with bell peppers and onions. No sweet potato mix in today. Decided to sunny side up my eggs today and break yolks over the meat. Yum!

Making good progress just wanting to see the fat come off. Was able to get my walk and 35 minute stair mill in. Tomorrow, I have to split my workout, come home and take the kiddo to school for an AP exam. Will end up doing cardio and abs at another gym. Should be able to get my walk in as well. Friday will be a fasting day.

Today was a split workout between 2 gyms. Had to run home to drop off the kiddo at school. Skipped my core warmup and went straight to the workout.
Thing I noticed today on my tricep movements. I think my left overpowers my right. On the tricep extensions I noticed weakness on the right side at the heavier weight. I think I am going to work on tricep unilateral movements.
Week 1 of cut compounds complete. No ill effects.
Keep grinding

36 hours is too much at this point. With my cut compounds change up and starting Reta this Sunday. I kind of want to build up. I definitely plan on doing this for my next blood work in about 5 to 6 weeks.
My intense workout days Sat/Sun/Mon/Tues/Thurs
My less intense days are Wed/Fri
My current fast is from 8pm Thursday to 5pm Friday which is 20 to 21 hours. I can manage that pretty easily. Does not affect my workout or demeanor. I think I can do the same Tuesday 8pm to Wednesday 5pm.
For the 36 hour fast I may do Thursday 5AM to Friday 5PM

I like the fasting experiment. Definitely planning on implementing the 20 hour fast on Wed & Fri. I want to see the conditioning improve over the next few weeks. Reta and SLU-PP332 startup tomorrow. Let's see what those do for me. I think I can execute the 36 hour fast as well. I just want to build up to it.,
Strength is good. I have really slowed down the movement thinking about the time element of the set rather than the rep count. Being intentional on slow concentric. Squatting slow, rising normal speed.
I feel like when the feeding window opens I binge a bit. More food than what I normally would eat. Will have to exercise more control. It's good food. It's just maybe two greek yogurts instead of one.
One day at a time.

Looks like I did not save my post from yesterday and I just accidentally deleted it. Oh well. Today was brilliant. Both workout days were great.
Good control.
I started retatrutide today. Took a 0.5mg dose today. Will take the same on Wed. Plan on doing twice a week with the same dose Sun/Wed.
SLU-PP332 will be daily starting in the morning tomorrow.
Conditioning is slowly coming in. I carry more fat on the belly, lower back, and glutes so it will take it's time getting there. Just have to keep grinding. Definitely planning on 2 fasting days on Wed/Fri at 20 hours for now.
Last year I got my step count into the 30K+. I would like to avoid that but will go there if necessary. I will have to see how things look post Memorial Day weekend.
Time to grind.

Started pretty good this morning but felt winded towards the end. Overall strength is definitely improved. Much more control movement with some decently heavy weight.
It is getting hotter in Texas. Going to be 100 on Wednesday. Felt a little out of breath on the walk later in the morning. Typically happens with tren, but wondering if this is the SLU-PP332. Took my first dose today. Will have to monitor as the week progresses.

@PrinceDaddy you will really like reta. i've been on it myself for about 3 weeks or so. i'm down about 5-6 pounds and i haven't changed a thing i'm doing.
@PrinceDaddy bro i was thinking of you this morning. thinking where my texas bro is at. and now you post!
@PrinceDaddy Bro, is good to see you. Posting been a while since we heard from you. Going to be cool to see how you do on the Reta.
Make 2025 THE year!
@PrinceDaddy you are my main man you know that. EVO family loves when you post up. you are the best Prince!
@PrinceDaddy you are looking great on this update man. you will enjoy the reta. probably a little low on the dosing, i would get over 1mg soon
@PrinceDaddy You'll get some nice benefits from that. Fasting really boost up your insulin sensitivity as well.
Sounds like you had a couple awesome gym sessions brother. Interested to see the results with starting the reta and adding in the fasting days.
I'm awaiting an order, seems to be delayed. But looking to order some more to see how it works for me. Only have 1 10mg vial at this point.
Thanks so much!
No tracking other than step count. It's Texas so going to lose water and electrolytes. Easy to have 6-8 lb weight swing.

Good work out this morning. Starting to get hot here in Texas. Going to be 102 tomorrow afternoon. Wed and Fri will be fasting days. So, I will start tonight after 8pm till tomorrow 5pm. About 20 hours. It's doable for me. I will do longer ones later in June. I just need to build up. I also want to feel out the reta and slu.
I am drinking more fluids and loading more water with the Texas heat. I kind of expected the weight on wake up to be higher but I did come down after walking.
I can see conditioning coming in, but I am not where I want to be. Hoping the reta+slu+fasting+cardio starts moving me in the right direction.
I am being told by others they can see definition. I guess for me, I know how I look when I am in the zone. 2 years was my best conditioning, so that is my goal. Don't really care about the weight, let if fall where it may, I have a feeling it will be under 170.

@PrinceDaddy very hot days.
I think if you have food control, which you seem to, retatrutide isn't even in play. Fasting and cardio is what you want.
Hell yes man loved that you had 2 excellent workout days
@PrinceDaddy Great to hear both your workout days went brilliantly and that you’re feeling in control! Starting retatrutide at 0.5mg twice weekly sounds like a solid plan, and adding SLU-PP332 daily could support your goals well.
EVO power in the house!
yeah lots of delays now. it will come eventually. what brand you using?
@PrinceDaddy can’t wait to see how the reta treats you man

High of 102 today. Left for my morning walk at about 80, got back and it was 92.
I am ready to see some conditioning.

20 hours is not a full fast, you need 36 hours to clear out the gut bro @PrinceDaddy
188 is a good weight but i think you're down to 175 closer to cut
I had a peptide place send me their info sheet, did not order from this one. I feel like there a few that have produced results, but some just seem like a waste of money. Has anyone seen great results from these? I feel like the muscle growth, the tried and true anabolics and HGH just work. The healing peptides seem to have great buzz and feedback (BPC157 and TB500). The GLPs seem to be effective for some.
Specifically the body fat loss peptides? Thoughts?
AOD-9604: Accelerates metabolism; burns stored body fat; prevents new fat stores from accumulating; improves bone density; stimulates the production of collagen, which improves skin elasticity; is a potent anti-inflammatory; enhances joint flexibility and functionality; great for conditions like arthritis.
B-Complex: Boosts energy; accelerates metabolism; improves digestion; promotes angiogenesis (the formation of new blood vessels) and has a number of positive cardiovascular benefits; enhances cognitive function; is a mood-stabilizer; improves cellular health.
BPC-157: Best known for its ability to accelerate healing from skin, muscle, bone, ligament, and tendon-related injury; stimulates new tissue growth; helps to build lean muscle/prevents muscle-wasting; decreases fat tissue; reduces inflammation; boosts dopamine and serotonin levels, leading to pain-relief and mood stabilization; has neuroprotective effects and can help to prevent diseases like Alzheimer's and Parkinson's; maintains and improves memory.
Cargrilinitide: A long-acting and highly effective appetite suppressant designed to enhance the effects of GLP-1 peptides- integrating Cargrilinitide is one of the best options to combat a weight-loss plateau; works well as an appetite suppressant when taken independently; promotes satiety; slows gastric emptying; helps to regulate blood sugar.
CargriSema: The combination of the GLP-1 Semaglutide with Cargrilinitide (a synthetic hormone which is excellent for appetite suppression) is an incredibly potent one, resulting in an average of 23% weight loss after 68 weeks.
Cerebrolysin: A neuroprotective peptide preparation which has strong preventative potential for Alzheimer’s and Parkinson’s diseases, and can lessen many of the symptoms of these; helpful in recovering from traumatic brain injury (TBI) and stroke; helps to mitigate symptoms of multiple scoliosis, peripheral neuropathy, and vascular dementia; can prevent the occurrence of and lessen symptoms of chronic migraines.

Has a short half-life of minutes to hours, and is a potent peptide for those who want to build lean muscle mass quickly. Ghrelin, commonly referred to as “the hunger hormone,” signals hunger to the brain, leading to an increase in food intake. Binds to GHS-R; releases GH in a short-burst fashion; requires frequent dosing for optimal results.
GHRP-6: Similar to GHRP-2, with a few key exceptions: GHRP-6 causes lower appetite stimulation levels, which is beneficial for those who are trying to lose weight; GHRP-6 is slightly less effective; GHRP-6 has some lipogenic (metabolic formation of fat) properties in the presence of insulin and glucose and must be dosed properly; stimulates the release of growth hormone; increases muscle mass; reduces body fat; improves endurance; speeds recovery from injury; improves sleep quality; boosts overall energy levels.

Lemon Protocol: A fast-acting treatment targeting specific stores of fat (lipolysis), allowing them to be released from the body by hydrolysis (aka released via urine waste). Typically used on small, stubborn areas of fat which are resistant to diet and exercise- most often the double chin, “bat wings,” “love handles,” the fatty area around the bra line, thighs, and abdomen. Treatments are applied over several weeks or months. It should be noted that once the targeted fat cells are destroyed, they do not regenerate- ever!
Lipo-C: Burns stored fat; increases energy levels; supports weight loss; helps to preserve lean muscle tissue; improves overall metabolism; boosts the immune system; supports proper hormone function; offers antioxidant protection from free radicals; improves brain function and mental acuity; promotes better liver function; stimulates the creation of proteins responsible for strong hair and nails.
Mazdutide: A dual agonist of the GLP-1 and glucagon receptors, developed for type 2 diabetes and obesity. Regulates blood sugar, delays gastric emptying, improves fat metabolism in the liver, increases causes weight loss, burns calories more efficiently, improves lipid levels, raises metabolism, reduces the risk of osteoporosis in post-menopausal women, reduces liver inflammation, and increases bone health.
Melanotan 1: Induces skin tanning- increases the amount of melanin in the skin, which both protects you from the damaging effects of UV exposure and allows skin to tan at an extremely accelerated rate; helps treat rosacea; increases libido (often A LOT); can help resolve erectile dysfunction in men.
MOTS-C: Increases metabolism and causes weight loss; can protect against metabolic disorders like non-alcoholic fatty liver disease; improves physical performance and running capacity; improves muscle function; increases insulin resistance; offers anti-inflammatory benefits; decreases vascular calcification; increases chances of surviving infection/sepsis.
NAD+: An excellent choice for anyone over the age of 30 to offset the body’s naturally diminishing NAD levels. Supports cellular health and DNA repair; can reduce the signs of aging by improving the skin's elasticity and structure by stimulating the production of collagen and elastin; repairs cells; reduces inflammation; may slow the progression of neurodegenerative diseases such as Alzheimer's and Parkinson's; improves cognitive function and memory; has weight loss benefits.
PT-141: Treats sexual dysfunction; reduces sexual anxiety and improves performance; has long-lasting effects compared to other treatments; treats hypoactive sexual desire in postmenopausal women; does not have adverse effects when combined with alcohol; is a non-invasive treatment option with minimal potential side effects (particularly in comparison to alternatives like Viagra).
Retatrutide: The newest evolution of GLP-1 anti-obesity medications, Retatrutide has proven more effective than Semaglutide, CargriSema, and Tirzepatide in clinical trials- averaging a 22+% total body weight loss after only 48 weeks. Helps mitigate many risk factors in those with cardiovascular problems, and is showing promise in combatting substance use disorders, sleep apnea, and depression.
Selank: Reduces anxiety and stress; heightens cognitive function; combats depression; is a mood stabilizer; has beneficial effects on pain perception; improves the capacity to learn; maintains and increases memory; combats many of the negative effects of alcohol misuse on the brain; has immunomodulatory mechanisms; is an antiviral with cancer and illness-fighting qualities.

Typically results in an average total body weight loss of 15-17% after 68 weeks; suppresses appetite; regulates blood sugar; mitigates many risk factors for those with cardiovascular problems; shows strong neuroprotective potential.
Semax: Enhances cognitive function; improves focus and concentration; provides neuroprotective effects against cognitive decline, particularly after brain injuries and strokes; stimulates serotonin and dopamine; enhanced memory and recall; improved stress resilience; improves blood circulation; is used as a mood stabilizer, anti-anxiety agent, and anti-depressant.
Sermorelin: A bio-identical version of growth hormone-releasing hormone (GHRH), which stimulates the pituitary gland to release human growth hormone (HGH). Enhances muscle growth; improves energy levels; promotes better sleep cycles; supports weight loss by stimulating the body’s natural production of GH; helps combat age-related symptoms such as fatigue and decreased muscle mass. Diminishing HGH levels are associated with weight-gain, fatigue, loss of muscle tone, decreased bone density, thinning hair and skin, and reduced immunity.
SNAP-8: Considered the Botox of the peptide world, it is a potent treatment for facial wrinkles and other signs of aging by inhibiting the contraction of muscles in the face; stimulates collagen production; when applied topically, twice daily at a 5% concentration, it has proven to reduce wrinkles by 30%-68% after as little as one month; is marketed as a nootropic supplement; improves cognitive function and memory.
SS-31: The energy-boosting peptide; reverses the damage of oxidative stress; anti-aging; anti-inflammatory (including neuroinflammation); supports and enhances memory/cognitive-function; combats insulin resistance; prevents and/or mitigates symptoms of cardiovascular, neurodegenerative, kidney, and respiratory diseases; likely inhibits the development of many chronic diseases.

I'll get there. Not yet.
you're on a glp-1 bro should be easy, just do over weekend @PrinceDaddy
Sema did not do much for me last year. Felt nothing.
Thursday : Traps / Triceps

Androgen Rage : Medium
Cycle Status : Week 2 Cut Cycle
Show Dates : 07/16/2025 / 08/27/2025 (Pro card or bust)
Target Weigh in : 176.25 lbs
Not as hot yesterday, but still kind of hot. Good overall work out. really want to see the weight drop. Tomorrow is another fasting day. 20 hours for now. Started wearing a waist trainer during the day. My ab conditioning is improving. I am doing my hanging leg lifts with ease. Knocking out 10 without much strain. Have very good core control.
The grind continues. 1.5mg Reta in, I don't really feel anything yet. Next week will bump to 2mg.
Initially, in the week I felt a little out of breath, was wondering if it might be the SLU, but I'm not feeling it anymore. Doing daily pre-workout.

Weird you don't feel anything from GLP drugs. Semaglutide works very well for me and the wife. We both had hard time eating 1/2 tuna sandwich today 2 hours after our workout today. I will be lucky to get down 1500 cals for the day force feeding. We both just started 1mg per week on Sunday.
glp1 is retatrutide and semaglutide same bro
20 hours is not a fast bro, push to at least 36 hours you're close to show you gotta get the lean @PrinceDaddy
I am just saying it does not work for me. I did high dose semaglutide. Did not work for me. I am try reta this year. Let's see what happens.
Not yet
start soon, its not hard to do bro you're on retatrutide right as well
just dont eat for 36 hours drink electrolytes and water, should be very simple to do @PrinceDaddy

Another fasting day in the books. I am starting to wear a waist trainer in the afternoon/evening. Still not feeling much of anything on the Reta.
Next week will bump top 2mg. Got another vial of 20mg, so will slowly titrate up.
Feel generally good. See conditioning coming in, just have to keep pressing on.

Wake Up @ 192
Post Workout @ 186 (Lowest reading for 2025 so far)
Step Count: 7K
Androgen Rage : Medium
Cycle Status : Week 2 Cut Cycle
Show Dates : 07/16/2025 / 08/27/2025 (Pro card or bust)
Target Weigh in : 176.25 lbs
Weight loss seems to progressing. 186 is the lowest I have weighed this year. I did not have a BM today, maybe due to the fasting yesterday.
The thing that frustrates me is the hunger or cravings as soon as the feeding window opens. Yesterday, at 5pm I cooked my meal. Ate my meal,
had some greek yogurt. At this point, I should be done for the evening. Instead, closer to bed I started having hunger pain and cravings. Even a slight headache. I ended up eat 2 granola/protein bars. I know as bodybuilder as you get closer to your show date you have to learn to suffer and that is it. I was hoping the GLPs would help with this. During the fast itself, I am fine, I just don't eat. Maybe just stare at the clock. It is just when you take that first meal, it is great, but the satiation does not come.
As mentioned before Semaglutide really did not do much for me last year. My intent was to use Trizepatide this year, but the current conversation is showing retatrutide to be more effective with body building weight loss and blood markers. At this point, I am one week in with 1.5mg. This upcoming week I will try 2mg and see what happens. Looking for appetite control. Anyone use Cagrilintide , maybe it can do what I am looking for?
So, the cycle so far has been as so:
Weekly Volume
600mg Test Cyp
150mg Tren Ace
450mg EQ
600mg Mast
I have kept the Test higher this year. My body seems to be handling it well. In years past, I would get watery and very estrogen sensitive. I would see a layer of water on my body. This year that does not seem to be happening. In any case, I start orals next weekend. I will bring the test down to 400 next week. Possibly reduce again to 200 after 3 weeks. I generally feel good. Not super strong, not weak either.
I will get up to 36 hour fast at some point. I am just not ready yet. 2 weeks in on the new compounds, 1 week on the reta and slu-pp, next week the orals come in. I just want to introduce it by itself when I am ready.

@PrinceDaddy i'm currently on 2mgs of reta. if you aren't super overweight you won't notice much. i'm down about 5 pounds in 1 month on it which is amazing but it isn't crazy noticeable, but someone who is super fat would lose a lot more
@PrinceDaddy bro you doing some hardcore training fasted. good to see conditioning getting better. you a true champion i believe in yoU!
@PrinceDaddy bros you doing a lot of fasting right now. will get easier on reta. you should start getting the benefits soon on it. what brand did you say you used?
Secret of some pros
@PrinceDaddy you are my boy for sure prince. keep up the good work!
evo love your way! always good to see your updates

@PrinceDaddy up your tirzepatide dose by 1mg and micro dose it ed pins like hgh.
You should start pushing for 36 hour fast now, dont need to wait, have self control
with this cycle, you need to start doing more cardio so close to the show and see how you do now.

I do not have trizepatide. I only have reta. I will fast when I am ready. Not ready.
I already do nearly 3 hours of cardio 5 days a week.
Sunday : Upper body presses 225 / Core Abs / Chest/Delts/Shoulders

Felt a little winded today. Got the workout done. Did not push any extra weight.
Looks like tomorrow will be a fasting day. (20 hours) Not intentionally, as it turns out I need to buy groceries. I will be shopping while hungry. I need to be a good boy and make sure I don't buy anything in excess.
Took 1mg of Reta today, next dose of 1mg on Wed. Still not feeling it. I am dropping weight, but I did introduce fasting.
This is a busy week for me. Last week of school for the kiddo. So some running around for me. Also graduation on Saturday, so will have to shorten my work out.

Joints seem to feel dry today. Not sure why. Seem to sleep not as well on Sunday evening. I do get up at 4am M-F. Maybe the shock of getting up before the body is ready. I did have a little Deca from Feb-April. Maybe the deca effects diminishing.
I ended up doing another 20 hour fast today. No groceries, so not eating. Out of eggs, spinach, sweet potatoes. Got groceries this afternoon.
Supply chain must be whacked, first grocery store had not sweet potatoes or onions. I just left.
I suppose you could just call it OMAD. Since it is a 4 hour feeding window for the meal bolus. Seem to be doing better. Having no issue during the fasting, anxious to see how I do later in the evening. Whether cravings and appetite control make me less hungry.
Busy week as it is last week of school for the kiddo and graduation. Running around on a flexible schedule. Will have to shorten my Saturday leg day.
Was looking at my log from last year to reflect on Semaglutide which I used last year, in a much better place this year. Of course last year was rough with all the life events. I've made this far. Hopefully better things ahead.
Thanks everyone!

Maybe the reta is working? Doing 2mg this week. Weight is dropping. I am fasting more, 20 hour fast or an OMAD. This week Monday, and now thinking Wed, Thu, and Fri. Much of this due to some schedule issues with my kiddos last week of school. Just trying to fit my schedule to her change up this week. I feel ok, appetite does seem to kick in the evening. Been having a protein shake if I feel that urge. I am wearing the waist trainer afternoon and evening. I think that tends to make you eat less.
Brought ground turkey 99/1. So will meal prep for the next 3 days with turkey during the omad meal.
Conditioning is coming in. I'm ready for more. Plenty to lose still.

My shoulders joints are feeling sore. The deca is out of my system. I'm definitely feeling joint soreness or inflammation. Being careful as I proceed.
Took my second dose of Reta 1mg. So 2mg weekly at this point. It may doing something for me. Not sure if I am feeling the appetite suppression. I am fasting today with a 20 hour fast or OMAD. I will do the same tomorrow and Friday. This is due to many schedule change ups this week. It could just be my schedule this week.
I am leaning out. Here I am with my waist trainer:
I still have plenty of fat to lose. Just have to keep grinding and fasting and walking.
Cooked ground turkey 99/1. Usually split 1 lb into 3 portions of 6 oz. I eat one portion and use the rest for the next 2 days.
Ordered some more Retatrutide, also picked up Cagrilinitide and MOTS-C. Anxious to see how things look. I do change up my cycle this Saturday. Reducing Test and EQ. Adding orals starting on Monday.
One day at a time!

Weight is dropping. This week I am doing the 20 hour fast or OMAD fast Mon, Wed, Thu, and Fri. Feel good so far. Was not intentional to do 4 days, more a result of just some other scheduling activities this week. I am thinking of doing MWF going forward for the show. I do plan on doing the 36 hour fast at some point, especially leading into the blood work.
I am really starting to believe in the reta. I'm having an easier time fasting or dieting. I have not had insane cravings. I am eating my meal with high protein emphasis when it is time to eat. I will keep monitoring and have more input as the weeks progress. So far, it is really helping.
Last full anabolic dose today. Next week will add the orals and drop the cycle to the following
After May 25th

50mg Tren Ace (0.5 cc)
200mg Test Cyp (1cc)

@PrinceDaddy the waist trainer is perfect, you want that to really tighten things up.
With retatrutide, you should try ED dosing called micro-dosing you would feel it more around 0.5mgs ED try that and see if it helps.
Fasting, push to OMAD for at least 2 weeks, just 4+hours your 20 hour fast, you'll see a difference.
Your cycle is not bad for show prep, but close to the show you'll need to lighten up on the EQ and up the tren more.
