Hey everyone,

I'm a 56-year-old guy who's been hitting the weights hard for a long time. TRT has been part of my routine since 2009, and I've dabbled in plenty of other stuff along those lines 😃. Around 2012-13, my gym buddies and I were already using peptides—way before there was even a sliver of the information available now. Back then, the main goal was building muscle, so we used CJC-1295, IGF-1, ghrp-6, ghrp-2, hcg, bpc157, and tb500. I still recall having to cut the IGF because the pumps would get unbearably intense at times 😆

Glad to be here! It's wild that peptides have existed for so many years while remaining relatively unknown to most people. I'm looking to incorporate cjc, bpc and tb into my regimen

It's wild how the selection has exploded and the range of roles they play. That ghrp-6 had me ravenous like nothing else lol, though these days I know it also drives up prolactin and cortisol.

Personally I skipped it, but the guys I trained with would shoot igf straight into whatever muscle they'd just worked.

Right now I'm running ss-31, reta, tesa & ipa, plus the trt obviously
 
Any difference you can feel between tesa/ipa and cjc/ipa? I have some cjc/ipa sitting here but have not started it yet.

It's been ages since I touched CJC, so I really can't give any input on it—I haven't run it lately. The ipa alongside tesa, on the other hand, I'm enjoying; it's only been about 10 days, but my rest feels deeper and sleep has improved, plus fat loss looks consistent, maybe even a touch faster, though I didn't have much to shed in the first place.

I've got some CJC-1295/IPA put away for later on, but I still have several more weeks of tesa left to get through.
