Hey all, I’ve never joined a community like this before, so here’s my background. I’m a 43-year-old guy, 6'2", now at 225. My journey began 3 years ago when I weighed 270lbs. For the first 2.5 years, I only did a calorie deficit plus intense training; during the past 6 months, I’ve been looking into peps.

What I’m running now

4mg reta, split between Sunday and Thursday mornings

1iu cjc/ipa at night before sleep

5amino every day

150mg test-E, divided into every other day

I’ve only used reta and 5 amino for 1.5 months, having started at 2mg. Happy to be here!!
 
I’m curious about how you schedule your test dosing. I also take test. Even on a low dose, E2 gives me trouble. Is that why you’re dosing every other day, and if it is, has it made a difference for that?
 
I've been considering trying cjc/ipa. What kind of results have people gotten from it? I keep hearing about it in relation to training and physique, but I'm pretty unfamiliar with it.
 
Honestly, I began trt and cjc/ipa only about a month apart from each other. That means the added lean mass and better physique might simply be from the test. What stood out to me, though, was how incredible my sleep became — deep rest with really vivid dreams. I used cjc/ipa for 12 weeks, and it definitely increases appetite. After that I moved to reta, paused it for a full 4 weeks, and have just kicked off another cycle. Being on reta together with c/I, my sleep isn't the same anymore. I don't know exactly why reta disrupts sleep so badly, and that's the reason I signed up for a group!
