The DNP Retatrutide Extreme Fat Loss Cycle

I’m thinking of running a protocol similar to @Scruf ’s for the rest of my cut, what do you guys think?. I’m now at a similar starting weight, and he had great results. He started with a lot more muscle than I have, but I still think it will work. The only things I would do differently in the beginning is no Enclomiphene, not as much primo if I use that for my estrogen, and higher test (I’m on 210 mg/week test p). I also run replacement dose T3/T4 and Telmisartan, but I think I’ll be able to get off blood pressure medication very soon. I’ve made a lot of progress on my cardiovascular health.

I already know I want to bring HGH back. Recovery, sleep, and skin benefits were phenomenal, and this was the dosing and cardio regimen I was already using when I ran it. My training split is already very similar, I don’t lift fasted anymore though. I always feel great in the calorie range he was eating at.
What would be the point of enclomiphene if he's on test?

Anyway, I'm subscribed to your other thread and someone mentioned you post here more. Glad your doing well. I'm here to watch this transformation in full!

Also, are you just maxing out on bench and then doing sets of 135 to failure after?

Enclo will do the same as hcg how well is debated but it will still do it.
 
Wonder if he’s dead? Sure was a lot of harsh drugs and harsh dieting
I think he just lost interest, got sidetracked with life or went back to bad nutritional habits. Just embarrassed to update, lots of us go through such phases, we get exhausted and needed a break especially if you step on the gas too hard and too sudden.

I just hope he doesn’t give up ultimately.

Yea that’s definitely a possibility. I fell off the rails for about a year one time.
 
stumbled on this thread randomly but I started semaglutide maybe 2 weeks before I started DNP at 250mg/day and I could tell the semaglutide was already nuking my appetite by the time DNP came into play. I've used DNP in the past and at around that dosage and higher before, but I'll say that it seemed to have significantly more effect on me this time around. I would urge anyone considering a GLP-1 agonist + DNP cycle to take an extremely conservative approach. GLP-1 agonist have the potential of making drugs take longer to clear your system, and I think that was the case this time for me. I stayed well under my 'limit' so I was fine but I would not take anything more than what I did this time around. for what it's worth I lost a shitload of weight with only 1 week of DNP while on Semaglutide. very effective.
 
The goal
Lose as much weight in a 30-day period as humanly possible. This is an extreme cut with extreme deficits that will produce extreme results. I will not comment on its safety, but it should be interesting to follow.

Stats
6’0” male, 28, 334 lbs, down 34 pounds since November 8!!! DNP was not included during this time.

The Cycle
I was sponsored by @FatPharms , a US domestic DNP supplier for this cycle. They’ve been great to me so far, and I was impressed by their 5-day delivery time. I’ll keep y’all updated on the quality and burn test.

Testosterone Propionate25 mg/day25 mg/day182 ng/dl pre obesity
GHK-Cu2mg/day2 mg/dayFor skin elasticity and hair
AnastrozoleAs neededTBDLowest efficacious dose once needed


Diet
One 600-800 calorie meal each day, achieving a 24 hour fast in between each meal. I will also be doing extended fasts lasting 48-72 hours, maybe longer if I feel like it.

Why all that fasting?
Rapid fat loss and increased autophagy. Between the fasting, GHK-Cu, collagen, HGH, and a few other tricks I got up my sleeve for later, skin elasticity will be optimized as much as possible.

Supplements
Potassium powder, Magnesium tablets, Sodium (during extended fasts), Collagen, Lysine, Multivitamins, Vitamin D, Unsweetened cranberry juice, fish oil pills, and Fiber via flax seeds. Dandelion root, milk thistle, tudca, and NAC will likely be added soon.

Training
Fasted cardio every morming after 2 iu HGH shot. I’m doing 20 minutes of it right now, but I’d like to bump it up to 45 as mental endurance increases. Muscle loss is inevitable, but I’ll be doing weight training to signal to my body that we need to at lesser keep some of it. Lifts will mostly consist of bench, deadlifts, barbell rows, curls, wrist curls, shoulder shrugs, and delt flies
 
Sheesh, giving me anxiety just thinking about it. I have them. Do you think you’d even be able to tell a difference at the weight I’m at though? Because I don’t, except in my face, which I can’t share. My plan was to release the before and afters once I hit 280. You’d definitely be able to tell then.

My plan is four fold:
1. Fall in love with lifting so I have something to strive for (my physique) that overeating would fuck up, get mantainence to where I’m still able to enjoy a decent amount of food.
2. Keep my test at a healthy level. I have never gained weight when my test was healthy, I’m at around 182 ng/dl without TRT
3. The unfortunate truth is it’s always a big risk. I’m resigned to the fact that I may have to be on a GLP indefinitely.
4. Frequent weigh ins and body pics. If I start gaining weight, I am perfectly fine with going on a less extreme mini cut to get back down. I’m planning on stocking up on a few things.
this is SUUUCHH A BAD IDEA. FOR ANYONE READING THIS, PLEASE DON'T ENGAGE IN THIS BEHAVIOR. THIS GUY GOT TO BE 338LBS, PROBABLY FROM BEING RECKLESS AND NGAF ABOUT HIS BODY TO BEGIN, JUST ATE HIMSELF SILLY. THERE IS NO MAGICAL PILL. JUST THINGS TO ASSIST THE HARDWORKERS.

You’re late to the party brother lol, everyone already told him not to do it, problem now is he mia. Hopefully he just fell back to old habits and felt ashamed to log back in. I pray he didn’t fell ill or something worse.

i know I'm late but still felt the need to put it out there for the safety of others. Harm reduction should always be our foundation here, and we SHOULD take pride in being that board. my bad for beating this dead horse.
 
I see that this is an old thread. But if anyone gets to this comment, ITS A HUGE RISK. I took a few rounds of DNP and lost a ton of weight before GLPs. I was doing 250mg for a while and then bumped it up to 500mg. It felt like I was at deaths door each time. But I was a dumb ass and kept at it. I couldn’t tolerate any temps higher than 50-60 degrees and was sweating at my job which was embarrassing. Then I noticed my feet burning. I had to hold ice to them. This was the first sign of peripheral neuropathy. My feet felt heavier and heavier and got super numb. And the last thing to happen was cataracts. I was on my first month of my last cycle and noticed my vision getting hazy and stopped DNP immediately. And within one more month I was completely blind. Im a surgery coordinator for an eye surgeon so I was able to have surgery myself on both eyes at the age of 30. I’m probably the 3rd youngest patient we had seen in years. Good side is now I have super vision and can see without glasses.

Taking GLPs alone is way better. It does its job. It helps with other medical issues. It makes me feel healthy and happy. I lost just as much weight. I’ve been off DNP for a few years now and my feet have healed maybe 80 percent. They are not heavy anymore. They are just numb in the toes instead of the whole foot.

If you’re going to try DNP, try GLPs FIRST.
 
Hey guys I’m not dead, just lost all interest in this stuff and have been going through a rough time (mental health stuff, and my business is very stressful).

I didn’t fall off!
I was at 280 something when I disappeared, I’m at around 255 now with a lot more muscle. A lot of this time was recomping, no motivation for gulag deficits anymore. I’m just not obsessed like I used to be. I take my sema, I eat less, and that’s about it. It’s just not an interest in my life anymore, my business, working out, and my spiritual life is.

Some highlights
1. Did my first pull-up at 263. First time I ever felt like bragging about how fat I am.
2. Hit 240 on the bench before getting injured! Road to 225 is complete.
3. Hit a 380 deadlift and got more injured (passed out and fell on my recovering shoulder)
4. Jogged for 30 minutes straight last week, never knew I had it in me.
5. Fitting into XL shirts for the first time in over 7 years. The plan is to get down to a medium and then earn my way back up to large

About this injury
I put myself through hell for about 3 weeks to get my first pull-up. My shoulders got shredded the fuck up. This was at the same time I was going for a 255 bench (failed it right at the top, I was so close!!!). Since then it’s been a lot of rehab. Plus side is I grew some nutty forearms not being able to train anything else upper body.

Protocol
Nothing wild for weight loss, I just take my sema and 25mcg/100mcg T3/T4. 250/week test, and I added primo for e2, 350mg/week. I’m expecting that dose to go down as I shed more fat.

Physique update
Here’s some pics from last month

Thank you for all the support guys, it really does mean a lot. Sorry I fell off, I felt bad not updating, just going through a lot right now.
