Discussion Current TRT / Peptide Stack for Lean Gains/Aesthetics – Looking for Feedback

[gigatedcruz]

30M, 5’10”, currently around 161-165 lbs (started around 167-172 lbs before beginning TRT and peptides a little over a month ago). My goals are to get leaner while adding quality muscle, improve recovery, optimize overall aesthetics, and improve my energy levels and sleep quality.

I’ve been on TRT plus the following peptide stack for just over a month:

• Testosterone Enanthate: 200 mg/week (0.4 mL of Test E 250 mg/mL on Monday and Thursday)
• Retatrutide: 1 mg Monday and Thursday (2 mg/week total)
• MOTS-c: 4 mg Monday and Thursday (8 mg/week total)
• GHK-Cu: ~3.3 mg Monday and Thursday (~6.6 mg/week total)
• BPC-157/TB-500 (“Wolverine”): ~750 mcg BPC-157 + ~750 mcg TB-500 daily (recently increased from 20 units/day to 30 units/day)

For context:

• Retatrutide and MOTS-c are reconstituted with 2 mL bacteriostatic water.
• GHK-Cu is reconstituted with 3 mL bacteriostatic water.
• Wolverine (5 mg BPC-157 / 5 mg TB-500) is reconstituted with 2 mL bacteriostatic water.
• I lift weights around 4x/week on average.
• Diet is pretty simple: mainly rice and protein sources like chicken breast, lean ground turkey, and salmon.

So far, I’ve dropped from around 167-172 lbs down to 161-165 lbs and have been happy with the weight loss and body composition changes.

A few questions for those with experience:

1. Does this current stack and dosing protocol look reasonable for someone focused on body recomposition, aesthetics, energy, and sleep optimization?
2. Is there anything you would increase, decrease, or change after the first month?
3. Would adding any of the following be worth it, or would it be overkill?
   • KPV
   • Glutathione
   • Semax
   • Selank
   • Ipamorelin
   • CJC-1295
4. If I add KPV, is there any advantage to using a combination product like KLOW versus running everything separately?
5. Do combination peptide blends lose effectiveness compared to taking the compounds individually, or is that mostly bro science?

Also, has anyone here used South Beach Wellness? Curious if they’re considered reputable and if others have had good experiences with them.

Not looking for medical advice. Just trying to learn from people who have actually run these compounds and have real-world experience with them.

Appreciate any feedback. Thank you!

i would increase the amount of pins you do test wise, and what are the ancs looking like?

Not running any ancs right now since I’ve only been on TRT/peptides for about a month. Planning to get bloodwork done before making any adjustments. But def open to suggestions

What’s your rec on increasing pins?

omega3s are always good, measure ur bp, i doubt 200mg test will do something bad but better check.

if its bad i would recomend cialis,

maybe something for ur liver, but 200mg shouldnt do a lot, just check

 

[vamp]

What’s your rec on increasing pins?

every day

 

[gigatedcruz]

every day

At same dosage?

 

[vamp]

At same dosage?

no, spread over for (in ur case) a total of 200mg per week.

Appreciate the advice, if you don’t mind me asking. Whats the rationale for that?

i would also increase the test, but imo staying in mid trt levels is good,

local aromatization is still an issue, especialy with no ai

Lmaoooo I meant like what’s your reasoning for everyday at same dosage instead of just Monday and Thursday not the ration (dosage) itself

Pinning ED > EOD, pinning EOD > E2D. You get the point.

I have arimidex. Should I take it?

if you stay at 200mg i dont see a need for it
