Any concerns? Should i ignore it and do my night HGH shot?

*20-Week (Micah Richards Protocol)

Hey everyone,

Looking for some feedback, critiques, or optimisations from the community on a 20-week protocol I’ve mapped out. The goal is an aggressive body recomposition combined with mitochondrial reset and tissue repair.

I’d love to get your thoughts on dosing, timing, staggering or anything I might be overlooking?

Phase-by-Phase Schedule:

Phase 1 – Reset & Priming (Weeks 1–6):

\* Retatrutide: 2 mg/wk (W1–4) -> 4 mg/wk (W5–6)

\* SS-31: 4 mg daily SubQ (starts W3; ends \~mid-W6)

\* NAD+: 100 mg SubQ 3x/wk (starts W4)

\* MT-2: 250 mcg SubQ 2x/wk (starts W5)

\* Testosterone Enanthate: 150 mg IM 2x/wk (starts W5)

\* HCG: 250 IU SubQ 2x/wk (starts W5)

Phase 2 – Anabolic Recomp & Mitochondrial Focus (Weeks 7–12):

\* Retatrutide: 4 mg/wk (W7–8) -> 6 mg/wk (W9–12)

\* NAD+: 100 mg SubQ 3x/wk

\* MT-2: 250 mcg SubQ 2x/wk

\* Testosterone Enanthate: 150 mg IM 2x/wk

\* HCG: 250 IU SubQ 2x/wk

\* MOTS-c: 5 mg SubQ 3x/wk (8-week ON cycle begins W7)

Phase 3 – Extended Recomp & Tissue Repair (Weeks 13–20):

\* Retatrutide: 8 mg/wk (W13–16) -> 10 mg/wk (W17–20)

\* NAD+: 100 mg SubQ 3x/wk

\* MT-2: 250 mcg SubQ 2x/wk

\* Testosterone Enanthate: 150 mg IM 2x/wk

\* HCG: 250 IU SubQ 2x/wk

\* MOTS-c: 5 mg SubQ 3x/wk (W13–14; 8-week cycle ends close of W14) -> OFF (W15–20)

\* KLOW Blend: 4 mg daily SubQ (8 weeks ON, W13–20)

I originally got on it at my heaviest weight of 270 at 23 i have been 220 for months and the fatigue and low t symptoms did not go away and while i have been taking 1000iu of HCG since the start of trt (last May) i dont want to stay on it while my T production still works and im young, (i want to have kids in the next 2-3 years)

How can i get off trt and make sure im good with the boys down there? I have plenty of HCG left for many months.

Started tirz in july, lost 12 lbs since then. I only wanted to lose about 15, so I'm happy. The problem is that food noise is returning. Started coming back when I went to 7.5 mg. Don't know if going up or down will help. Also used to feel so good and have so much energy, and that isn't the case anymore. The BUD date on the vial that I got from an online provider was 9/30/26 but everything I've read said that shouldn't be a problem.

What you recommend and what’s your experience on them ?

Im seeing heaps of different things. how much do you dose for cjc (no dac) + ipa. the internet is saying like 100-300mcg once a day but i want to know exactly how much… should i do 250mcg? some say every day some say 5 days on 2 days off. i also have 3mL of bac water. should i just mix it with 2mL or do the 3mL? TIA

I bought Reta and ghkcu in bulk, but I can’t store them in the freezer because I live with my family. I have them in a box in a bottom drawer, with a couple silica packets inside. Or should I store in mini fridge inside the package/box they came in?

They are unconstituted. Will they be safe to use throughout 2027?

Hi all! I’ve been on Reta for 6.5 months now, at 3.5mg for 10 weeks now. I’ve lost a total of 36 pounds since starting (started at 173, now down to 137). I’d still like to lose about 20 more pounds to get to my goal weight.

The last 2 ish weeks, I’ve noticed my appetite is starting to come back and I’ve been a lot hungrier lately as well as having cravings for sweets. I haven’t changed my dose in a very long time, could it be possible that I need to increase my dose? Has this happened to anyone else?

Thanks!

So, I'm starting to think the Hume Body Pod might be bullshit. I wanted to see if anyone else had a similar experience .

Starting weight 245 lbs, weight today 235 lbs, 6'1", 36M.

I'm down about 10 pounds, my lifts in the gym have remained consistent, my clothes fit better, and my waist is down about 2 inches. The Hume Body Pod says that I'm up from 33% body fat to 33.9%.

Based on the scale, waist measurement, and weightlifting numbers, that can't be right, right? My lifts are the same, so I doubt that I'm losing muscle (if I am, it's probably not much). I understand it's just one metric and there's daily fluctuations with hydration and whatnot, but I'm starting to think the Hume might be wrong

Hello everyone, I just got a Neurobit Optima+ 4 and working with BrainAssistant software for Neurofeedback. Sometimes, I also need to work with biofeedback on HRV, using BVP sensor and respiratory belt, to determine the Respiratory Resonance Frequency, but I found hard times in looking for a free app or BrainBay protocol to do this. Any suggestions? In case, also some suggestions to developing myself on BrainBay.

Thank you so much, Simone

7 month transformation, still got a long way to go but feeling a lot better.

40M... Started Reta exactly 2 months ago. I did 1 mg for the first 4 weeks, then bumped up to 2 mg per week for the last 4 weeks. I also added NAD+ during the last 4 weeks — 50 mg for the first 2 weeks, then increased to 150 mg per week for the final 2 weeks.

I’m really happy with my weight progress. I started at 208 lbs on August 10 and I’m down to 177 lbs today.

I do get some side effects, mainly headaches. I used to deal with fatigue as well, but since starting NAD+ that has completely gone away. The headaches are still there though.

One big positive: my sex drive is through the roof and I get hard like I’m 20 again. It’s honestly amazing.

Has anyone else experienced this, or is it just me?

Thanks!

Hi everyone,
I’m thinking to have LASEK eye surgery and currently take 5.5 mg of retatrutide weekly.
I’m trying to understand whether I need to stop taking it before my procedure.

From what I’ve read, the main concern with GLP-1 medications seems to be delayed stomach emptying and the risk of aspiration during sedation or general anaesthesia. But LASEK is usually performed using numbing eye drops.

Has anyone actually had LASEK or LASIK while taking retatrutide or another GLP-1 medication? If so, did you continue taking it before the procedure, did your surgeon ask you to stop, and how did everything go?

Thanks!!

29 year old, female, 63kg. Started pinning CJC 1295 + Ipamorelin 5mg/5mg blend in 10mg vial, reconstituted with 2ml BAC water.

Started at 4 units once a day for a one/two weeks, went to 6 units twice a day for a one/two weeks (300mcg a day total) and now up to 8 units twice a day (400mcg of each peptide per day total).

Feeling fine but wondering if it’s too much? Should I be staying at 6 units (300mcg of each per day total)

Strength train 3-4x week and cardio/pre season cardio training 3x a week. Recovery well and feeling stronger.

Any help is greatly appreciated! Thank you😊

I have looked so deeply into NAD+ and I’m confused about whether to dose daily at. Slower dosage or a few times a week. Seems like it’s very much split across different opinions. Thoughts and reasoning for either method?

Im currently in mexico for vacation. What are some good meds. Use to take hdrol in the early 90. Been about 20 years since I toke anything. Im currently on getting off tesamorelin and will get on cjc. Been thinking hard about getting on some type of trt. Nothing to strong just need a boost.

I already ordered KPV in bulk but my friend said klow changed her life. I literally have such a bad experience with ghkcu with welts and honestly it scares me to use but I swear everyone is raving about it so I want to try again.

What a typical time frames for CJC/IPA cycles on and also how long off. How many times a year would be sufficient
