It’s Tuesday, and we are diving deep into the physiological side effects of the current stack, from sleep disturbances to the "vascular" wins in the mirror. Training & Recovery: Today was Back and Biceps—my favorite day. Despite my sleep tracker claiming I only got 1 hour and 46 minutes of REM/Deep sleep (less than 6 hours total), I felt rested enough to pull heavy. I’m finally starting to see significant bicep vascularity and shoulder capping that I haven't seen since my early 20s. Protocol & Glucose Metrics: * Retatrutide: 12mg weekly. * HGH: 5IU nightly (noting a slight elevation in fasted glucose, approx. 96 today). * Testosterone: 150mg Test Cypionate weekly (Prescribed via Alpha MD). * GHK-Cu: 2mg nightly. Side Effect Management: The "Retatrutide Hunger" has been manageable this week, but the delayed gastric emptying is very real, estimating a 2.5 to 3-hour delay in clearing solid food. I’m also sharing my "Tactical Nuke" strategy (Magnesium Citrate) for anyone dealing with the common GI issues associated with GLP-1/GIP/GCG research. 📝 Peptide Source Guide: https://retatrutidelog.com/s/source-guide-yt ITEMS I USE: ⚖️ RENPHO Smart Scale: https://amzn.to/3Z13TbN 🩺 Blood Pressure Monitor: https://amzn.to/49lB6DH ⌚ Amazfit Watch (Sleep/HRV Analytics): https://amzn.to/45lT2wL ACCESS TO SOURCES: If you need access to the ancillary sources mentioned or a recommendation for a solid TRT clinic like Alpha MD, join the newsletter at https://retatrutidelog.com or use the contact form on the site.
