Honestly I’ve found a low dose of Tirzepatide superior than Reta. I have no problem hitting my calories and protein on it with 1.25mg a week for growing and I cut on about 2.5-5mg a week. I don’t need to eat 5k calories to grow tho, only 3500ish.You’re clearly reading between the lines, and honestly, I wasn’t even going to reply. I can still see your ass burning from our little chat in the gyno thread, but fine - I’ll make one exception for you. I get that your IQ might struggle with context, but this was about Reta vs. Tirz, not Sema. You just read it the way that made you feel better. Now, since you clearly need it spelled out:
First off, nobody said sema isn’t FDA‑approved. Congrats on announcing the obvious like you just discovered fire. The discussion was Tirz vs. Reta for people who actually lift, not whether sema exists.
Let me explain it like you’re 5, because clearly this is needed:
1. Tirz (GLP‑1/GIP) - nukes appetite, fixes insulin sensitivity, great for fat people or lifestyle cuts. But for lifters? Enjoy struggling to hit protein and carbs while feeling like a zombie. Strength tanks, recovery tanks, your training turns into cardio with weights.
2. Reta (GLP‑1/GIP/Glucagon) - way better for anyone serious about training. Glucagon ramps up energy expenditure without starving you, so you can actually eat, train, and hold muscle.
That’s why serious lifters and pros choose Reta, while Tirz is perfect for soccer moms and dudes who get winded climbing stairs.
So next time, before you open your mouth and spray dumb all over the thread, maybe read what’s actually being discussed.
Right now, you’re just the guy yelling “water is wet” in a room full of adults and wondering why nobody takes you seriously.
And yes I’m in good shape, 205 pounds 5’8 with abs. Not monster size competitor or anything but I look big and have a 6 pack.
I can see Reta being the better choice if you’re 240+ pounds lean and need to eat 5-7k calories to grow.
