Reta on cycle or off?
ad
I’m due for a blast cycle, currently 285 @ 6’1. Not fat but not shredded. Still visible veins and muscle bellies. But have some stubborn belly fat.
I’ve never taken Reta but have some coming in, is it best to run this incorporated in a cycle or stand alone? (Mainly concerned with appetite suppression and trying to put on muscle at the same time)
I plan to run
Test cyp 800mg week MWF
Tren ace 300mg a week EOD
Anavar 50mg ED last 4ish weeks
GH 4iu daily

Brother,
Reta + Tesa + MOTS-C + GH is a powerful combo … dosage and timing are everything. Reta and GH are in my year round stack I just adjust dosage accordingly (depending on the goal or phase)
Reta has a ton of benefits beyond appetite suppression. If you don’t want the appetite hit, just lower the dose and find your sweet spot. That’s what makes it viable year-round for a lot of guys. It improves insulin sensitivity, lipid handling, and overall metabolic efficiency, not just weight loss.
Tesa and Reta work really well together, especially for visceral fat reduction and tightening up the waist when diet is on point. Tesa’s GH-pulse effect plus Reta’s multi-receptor action (GLP-1 / GIP / glucagon) is a legit synergy, not bro science.
MOTS-C does its work more “under the hood” … mitochondrial signaling, metabolic flexibility, better nutrient partitioning. It’s not flashy, but it supports the whole system. I like cycling it 6–7 weeks on, 1–2 weeks off.
GH is the long-term anchor here. You can run it year-round and just adjust the dose:
1–2 IU = basically replacement, and honestly not even necessary if your natural GH is decent
4–6 IU = real benefits if you’re committed for 6+ months (sleep, recovery, fat loss, tissue quality)
8–10 IU = solid “blast” range IMHO
Above that, you’re usually adding “Those we can’t speak of”and other tools, and most people simply don’t need it.
Dial it in, stay consistent, and this setup will treat you very well.
You’ve got this, brother man!
Enjoy the blast.
Thanks brother, You now have me looking into this combination.
Respect to you panda you always give the best replies on every thread
Thanks for the kind words, Big …
Just my two cents, brother. That’s what we’re all here for … sharing experience and learning from each other.
Yeah, I was just about to reply the same thing. He reminds me of a member a few years ago who was very knowledgeable as well and went by the name Hanginglow. @press1 wouldn’t you agree ?
For sure mate - Pandatestosterone knows his shit!!! Lmao
Yeah I wonder where that bugger is atm, in fact thinking about it I know where he is as he messaged me on a smuggled in mobile phone LMFAO
Ahhhh damn
B-swole2142Thanks! I Definitely plan to run Reta and gh, I’ll look into the other ones. I never got into the peptide scene but see lately it has blown up. lol
First time running gh as well, I’ve always kept my cycles simple to 2-3 compounds and put on great size and muscle.
Excited to see how I respond when adding other stuff in the mix!
I go in cycles with it the most I take is 3mg a week and it does suppress my appetite but it keeps you lean. For me it did hinder my muscle building some so i am cycling it.
B-swole2142I’ll probably try it at 1-2mg a week, my last few cycles I’ve always had anadrol included and that killed my appetite so I’m looking to actually eat clean and pack in the meals this cycle and see what I can do. lol
Run year round. 1mg. Shit is gold. Prob keeps me living. Hahaha
B-swole2142Yeah I’ve heard it’s gold -- lol. I’ll give it a try and see how i respond.
I run it all year. Drop down to 2-3 mg/wk split in to MWF doses during a bulk then start titrating up when it’s time to cut. It barely touches my appetite even up to 12mg/wk. But it definitely helps with blood sugar from me taking GH at 5-10IU/day all year and other metabolic benefits. It will absolutely slow down gastric emptying, so you may not get that appetite suppression but you’ll be miserable if you over eat due to bloating and your stomach not emptying out by the time your brain says “I’m hungry again”
B-swole2142We’ll see how that plays out, I’ll start at 2mg and see how the suppression/bloating effects me, my last few cycles always had anadrol so that killed my appetite and always felt bloated, I’m hoping I can still pack in my meals lol.
I wouldn’t say it’s the same as anadrol/superdrol suppression. Those in the oral form just make me miserable. Not hungry, terrible reflux, shitty digestion….but dammit do I look good on them lol
B-swole2142Haha exactly, it’s hard to not want to incorporate them.
