Is it ideal to bulk while on Reta

[Dohtem22]

it’s seems very counter intuitive to use a drug that is ultimately meant to help you be in a calorie deficit when the biggest factor in putting on size…. is more calories….

But fuck it, more drugs the better!

I dont think the drug is ultimately meant to put you in a calorie deficit, and yes if you are reaping benefits without side effects more drugs would be better…

I’m actually currently bulking on low dose of Reta and I’m running gh. And I’m actually losing body fat. And my strength is increasing. I’m eating more calories than ever all be it clean and I’m actually losing body fat. But I’m new to both hgh and Reta

So why do people lose weight on GLP1s? Magic? Please explain

It’s got loads of other benefits beyond getting you in a calorie deficit, so a low dose that doesn’t cause you to eat less can help your body stay in a healthy state to pack on more muscle

I can confirm below. I can eat more on reta versus not much on tirz. I feel like I can eat anything and my metabolism will burn it off. I inject reta 2mg twice a week and stay at 205 lbs down from 228 without much effort.

Retatrutide significantly boosts metabolic rate by activating three hormone receptors (GIP, GLP-1, and glucagon), promoting more efficient calorie burning and fat loss beyond just appetite suppression, with clinical trials showing remarkable weight loss (around 24% at 48 weeks in high-dose groups) and improvements in metabolic markers like blood sugar and insulin, making it a potent drug for obesity and diabetes, though GI side effects like nausea and increased heart rate are common.

I have run 1-3 mg p/ week of reta since the beginning of my push/bulk. Been on 8 iu of gh, and my fasted BG went from 90-100 to 75, and has stayed that way all the way up to 5k calories and 800g carbs.

Also my blood work has been consistently in the green while being on upwards of 1.5g of gear. That has never happened until I used reta. Lowest LDL (70s) ever while on a blast.

That is why i continue to use it on a bulk.

It's synergistically the best support med we have now. You'd be stupid to not run it because "I can't eat waaah".

Anyone played around with mininum effective dose for reta while bulking? I don't really need it for appetite suppression, just interested in the lipid / nutrition partitioning benefits.

I've been bulking on 0.5 - 0.75 mg / week for about the last 6 months. Idk if that small of a dose is gonna do anything. I have cut on 2 - 4 mg/wk in the past. My RHR seems to jump up when I get over about 1 mg/wk which is the main reason I've kept my dose so low.

I’m bulking on 2 mg of Reta partly for the general benefits of the peptide, but also with the intention of tolerating it better and slowly increasing the dose to a proper cutting dose when it’s time to cut again. I’ve had issues with disrupted sleep, a higher resting heart rate, and lower HRV.
