Stack Review: Am I Overdoing It?

[jason370]

Reta 1 ml 2x week

Tesa 2 ml daily

Ipa 1.5 ml 2x daily

Cyp .5ml 2x week (corrected)

Bcp-157 500 mcg daily pill

Creatine 20 grams daily

Things are going well — no side effects other than a roughly 7 bpm rise in heart rate, plus water retention (12 lbs gained over 6 weeks even while eating slightly below maintenance, along with a few lbs of muscle). The reta seems to be doing its job; hunger is basically absent, though right after a meal I get a little hungrier, which actually helps since it gives me total say over what, when, and how much I eat. Muscle growth is coming on fast — I do heavy lifting every day and run or hike 3x week. I've been thinking about adding KLOW after the bpc caps are gone, but the length of the list gives me some pause. I can't identify any contraindications, but if anyone has constructive criticism, I'd like to hear it.

 

[Mr. Blonde]

The added water is likely tied to a rise in estrogen. I don't know your exact test dose, but it ought to stabilize after a while. Tesa also causes you to hold water. When you stop taking it, that should come off.

There's no limit on a good thing.

10ml of Cyp each week?

Test Cyp? That dose would be insane. Roughly 2-2.5 GRAMS!

For most of this, should I assume you meant mg rather than ml?

And what's the reason for 20g of Creatine? For a nootropic effect?

you caught me, the decimal was missing. cyp is .5ml (fixed, thanks). as for the creatine, yes. from what I've read, 20grams gets across the blood/brain barrier (anything under 20 does not) and brings cognitive benefits, and since 15g was already my dose, adding 5 more is no big deal.

newer research keeps pointing to dosage being far more tied to weight, with heavier individuals requiring larger amounts. from what i recall it's around 0.5 grams per pound of bodyweight. on top of that, other work indicates that going above that, anywhere from 20-30g a day, supports brain function and lowers the risk of dementia onset. i also came across one that suggested roughly 50g a day was beneficial for osteoporosis, though i'm not certain whether that was truly tied to the creatine itself or not, but i assume they felt compelled to bring it up from the study.

for me personally, anything past 10g in a single sitting has me blowing my guts out roughly 12 hours afterward, so i suppose it doubles as a laxative lol

Is the oral route something you chose because of gut problems? If that isn’t the reason, then swallowing BPC is pointless and you’re just burning cash. Stomach acid breaks the peptide down before absorption can happen, so injecting it is the way to go.

 

[Mr. Blonde]

Possibly I got this wrong, but how many mg are in each ml? Numbers ranging from 200 up to 400 have crossed my path. That means .5ml might equal 100mg, or it might equal 200mg?!

I figured I'd give it a shot, though I've taken the point on board — that's exactly why I'm planning to bring in klow after the bps caps are finished in a few weeks.

That's right.

When the amounts are listed in ml, there's no way to offer an opinion. Doses are always expressed in mg.

Got it, I'll fix that. Still, when it comes to the sheer number of peptides I'm currently using and intend to add, you've got to be able to share a view on that. For what it's worth, every dose I take is on the low end.

Reta: 1 mg, taken 2x per week

Tesa: 2 mg, taken daily

Ipa: 1.5 mg, taken 2x per day

Cyp: .5mg, taken 2x per week (corrected)

Bcp-157: 500 mcg, daily pill

Creatine: 20 grams, taken daily

Here's what I run each week:

Reta 4mg (once a week)

CJC 200mcg (twice a day)

IPA 200mcg (twice a day)

BPC 500mcg (every day)

TB 1.5mg (3x per week)

Selank 500mcg (every day) (Subq)

Semax 500mcg (every day) (Subq)

NAD+ 50mg (3x per week)

What's the duration you've been running this stack, and has anything gone wrong?

Over roughly the past month, I've been introducing them gradually. Up to now, nothing has gone wrong. I feel fantastic, and my performance at the gym has been at the highest level.

Assuming the dosages line up, this is a fairly typical recomp stack. The peptides complement each other and pair nicely with the test c. All things considered, it's far from an extreme stack when you look at what some of us run.

Should I throw in klow like it's nothing? Or do I hold off until I've gone through all the bpc pills?

That's a wild combo, particularly only 1 month in, but if you're feeling great, then perfect
