What brings me here?

So, about 6 months back, my son—who trains Jiu Jitsu—got pulled into the whole peptides trend. While we were on a trip in California, he mentioned he was going to meet some guy to pick up stuff to help him bulk, and I nearly lost my sh*t. Peptides weren't really on my radar before that, and my father gene definitely took over that night.

After that, I began picking up on gym chatter about CYN, DYE, KFD (clearly not real) and other letter-number combos, which took me back to 51st State (POS 51) and Limitless (NZT 48), plus all this talk from my son about wanting to "ascend"—I realized I needed to learn more.

So yes, down the rabbit hole I went... and here I am now... using them myself and taking advice from my boy 🙂

So why am I here?

To know more, more about safety, more about research, more about common understanding. I've spent hours just reading posts on this forum, so I figured at some point I would like to join in the discussions so it's probably time to register.

Speak to you guys soon!

Ahhhhh 51st state! What a film! Hello from the UK — 20 years in the states is an impressive stretch to go without a proper cup of tea! Shall I send some bags over? Tell me your brand and I'll hook you up 🤣🤣 Joking apart, welcome to the forum, and I take my hat off to you for learning about all this alongside your son ☺️
 
Hahahaha - proper tea is something we've managed to track down, PG Tips via Amazon, so there's always a supply in the house, though Yorkshire might be our next pick (Warrington is where I'm from, so a northern lad through and through). British bangers are another thing I've sorted - the local butcher follows a recipe for me and they come out spot on.

English bacon used to come from a different butcher as well, but to be honest we've drifted away from it and it's been a couple of years since we had any.

Fish and chips is the one real gap - the taste isn't what we're after - it's the ease of it. Friday night - what do you want for dinner - should we just pop the chippy - maaaaaan that is badly missed.

Yorkshire really is the top-tier tea bag! Haha. I'm right by the seaside, so it's chip-shop tea paradise round here! Which is likely why the pounds piled on and I ended up needing a glp1 at all 🙈🤣
