First week in first cycle ever
Any advice pls to get leaner
TheParrotManwhere are you now?
How do I add friends so I can respond directly to people
Not terrible shape for 66. Since you’re advanced age I’d be very very conservative on gear. Are you on TRT? I’d not just that will be life changing. And a little GH in the mix as well once you get the test dialed in. I don’t think I’d be blasting at your age man.
Not trying to be a dick but I’d say you should diet first for a solid 12 weeks, idk if your running a cycle or trt, but I’d say diet first man.
Track your macronutrients.
Protein =1.5g per what you want to weigh/current weight
Carbohydrates =1/2 of protein #
Fats(natural)= 50-75g
Fiber=20-30g
Sugar=as little as possible & that means coffee.
1gal of water per day/milk dosent count.
Divide this up into 4 meals every 3hrs.
Adjust each as needed but this is a great starting point imo. I’m sure lots will say I left some shit out but start here.
Good luck on your journey, remember it's not a sprint.
Advice I got here, one compound at a time so you know how your body reacts to it, side effects etc.
If you start with a few compounds you don't know the grass from the trees, what's causing what.
Get bloodwork done, I didn't follow this advice starting out.
Get diet in check you will see positive changes. What did you start with?
I have had great results with cardarine and fasted cardio. 20mg a day for 8 weeks with 8 weeks off helped me shed about 80lbs in a bit less then a year when switched from chasing a impressive combined total to being lean and muscular. I also like to take a shot a hgh frag before my fasted cardio for the last two weeks of any fat loss period. I also recommend training yourself to harvest N.E.A.T. whenever possible take the stairs park as far away from the entrance as you can walk laps in the gym between sets and anything else that gets you moving more then just the 30 or more minutes of cardio you do every day. Good luck with your journey.
All advice is welcome here. I appreciate anyone willing to share THEIR experience in my own endeavor in starting this. Not trying to pit us against each other but I also appreciate the “bro” support from everyone.
I have a brain and like myself so comments don’t hurt me. Just like in the gym, I can learn what to do/lift as well as what not to do or how to do it by looking and learning from those willing to offer advice …. In short…. Thanks again
Thanks for advice
This is me trimmed up… lol
Damn bro…I’m guessing your wife’s into that big bear energy
A lot of good advice in this thread … hope some of it helps.
You’re welcome, my man!
First off… shave, brother, you’re starting to look like a silverback out there…lmao
But for real:
• Calorie deficit … nothing happens without this
• Train hard … intensity over volume, make the sets count
• Cardio fasted or post-workout, whichever you’ll stick to
• Test + a little Mast or Primo goes a long way for the look
• Reta can help if the diet is locked in
• Keep the health support simple but consistent: NAC, milk thistle, GSE, good sleep routine, hydration, electrolytes
Don’t overcomplicate it.
Dial it to your lifestyle, your schedule, your stress load.
This game is consistency > perfection.
Day by day.
Small wins stacked.
You’re already doing good for asking the crew here … now just sharpen the blade.
Good luck, brother man !
Yep.. pretty upfront there.
No accidents. Just old and pudgy but not really unfit… decently fit just not lean like I want
All you guys given this poor guy advice do you still buy your peptides mixed in the same vile yeah you’re an idiot
Ahh yes let’s listen to the guy that doesn’t know the difference between a vial and vile . Surely he’s the intelligent one
I before E except after C
Lmao
And
And yes, I’m way smarter than you. I will burn your skull to the ground. Don’t challenge me in biochemistry. You’re a schmuck. You probably use BPC and TB 500 in the same VIAL there I spelled it right for U also, BITCH.
So smart you made that mistake 3 times on this thread. But I’m glad you figured out how to use google to spell vial correctly. Now use it to learn how to manage e2 cause clear it’s out of wack
You’re such a waste like I’m gonna sit here and worry about what you think about my grammar cause I’m using talk to text. You’re such a fucking bitch that kid in the gym that sits at the end of the flat bench. Find his right fucking new kids on the block song before he does his 13 pound dumbbell press you’re a fucking idiot dude you’re a little fucking boy in a big pond. Go play with yourself. Get out of here now when the grown-ups are talking go eat a grilled cheese sandwich.
That’s all you got, bro. I was using talk to text if you’re really gonna be that much of a bitch. I’ll make sure everything’s perfect for you. You must be a queen Muppet.
What the hell happened? Do have any health conditions ? Bad accidents? Anybody here that recommends you steroids is a fucking idiot and don’t listen to them. That’s the last thing you need right now. Start by getting your diet and check and going for a walk. Do some push-ups and situps that’s all you need right now. You shouldn’t be even thinking about your body can’t even handle them. It’s OK to use this board for other things, but don’t use PED’s You’re about a year away from that
Ranger3252Damn is your NFL team losing man. Give the guy a break. This isn’t a fake account.
I would start off with a proper diet and judging by your age I would go see a urologist and get bloodwork. Your Test is probably low and I would just start off with TRT, diet and exercise. We can talk about a cycle after that.
Show this Guy some Fuckin RESPECT - he is 66 years old for FGS.
He is here wanting to talk to people and trying to improve himself, he isn't running a tonne of gear just some Testosterone.
Show him some respect what the fuck are you talking about? I’m the one telling him not to listen to your fucking stupid advice. Everyone’s giving them to jump on fucking juice and fucking take HGH. I have mad respect for someone coming out here being that vulnerable. looking the way he does not having a clue and then he finds this board surrounded by a bunch of fucking idiots and that’s what you are. They’re all fucking idiots just because I’m smarter than you and you can’t admit when you’re fucking wrong. I’ve done nothing but try to help this fucking guy you guys are giving my death sentence Fucking ridiculous. Maybe you can be like that other fucking jerk off and correct people’s grammar fucking dumb ass
Did you not say that to him? Most people including me would take that as an insult.
Jtc coming in HOT
No!! I love you bro.
Things with GD finally work out !!!
Ngl
Funny and sad at the same time…. As a newbie, I thought it was some kind of semiglutide, peptide r other
Get pissed off at your self and tired of living the way you are. Become a monster in the gym and show up, especially on your bad days. Block out the noise, fuck the nay sayers and lock the fuck in.
Am I allowed to ask what is best online website to order from
Seems like some are out of stock, some wrong dosage, some too expensive etc
Not here. Look through discussion pages for answers
Gotcha
Testosterone won't make you any leaner. There's plenty of fatties on test. Will actually cause you to retain more water and make you gain weight. There's a host of other health concerns related to exogenous testosterone use, that you should be discussing with a Dr at your age. Blood work and a physician should be a MUST in your case.
If your main goal is to slim down and tighten up, then any of the 3 GLP meds (sema, tirz and reta) should be at the top of your list. They won't cause you any potentially dangerous health problems, and will help you achieve your stated goal.
But for testosterone I'd definitely recommend going the legitimate route. I do and I'm 26 years younger than you.
I’d add low dose gh too with the Reta but yea big misconception test will make you leaner. He should go on trt and monitor hematocrit
Hgh ??? Are you kidding me!!! Stop handing out death sentences ok.. don’t speak or ever give advice again. Here ..your a moron
Just Curious why hgh for a 66 year old would be a death sentence? Of course this young man needs all his baseline bloods and all that jazz but to say hgh is a death sentence at this gentleman's age is kinda comedic. Id say his age is getting close to a death sentence on its on. I do agree that he needs to research all these things and find his own path to health.
I've never done gh, so can't speak to it. But have heard it's pretty much age defying. I should probably be on it haha
Ngl it keeps me lean af I can eat whatever I want and not get sloppy ever since gh. It’s absurdly worth it imo. Obviously you need to diet to get truly conditioned but 3-5iu you can get away with a lot more. Idk why this is, but it is lol. I also think having more muscle keeps you leaner than people think. A lot of people say it only slightly raises your metabolism but I don’t believe it works that way, I believe your food intake quite literally is used towards muscle tissue and it’s not as simple as cals in and cals out. For someone with little to no muscle that is simply just dieting, yea. But overtime the more muscle I grew the leaner I’m able to stay
Ngl?
What is this r stands for what
Btw… what does PIP mean
Ngl = not gonna lie
Pip = post injection pain > some shots just hurt and your sore for hours or days.
Don’t listen. To this nonsense . PIP!?? Your a year from any PIP.. you got serious gyno..spend time with an endocrinologist? Don’t waste your time with any general practitioner either .. their useless and and don’t and I repeat, don’t dare take Ozempic you’re asking for it. That shit is fucking poison. You’re already look terrible. If you wanna look dead and terrible in your coffin go on Ozempic better yet you wanna get become dead quicker TRIZIPITIDE and you’ll help you’ll get there a lot quicker. Stay away from that shit and get your information from people that have experience. This board is loaded with Muppets. Idiots that follow each other on TikTok and pose in a mirror all day long with her one ab and her two years of experience do you need serious help start with your blood work go from there. Hit me up if you need help maybe I’ll save your life. Otherwise you’ll be buying bras from Victoria’s Secret and those bitches cost about $60
You’re gonna take advice from the same Muppets that still think they can mix peptides in the same vile and then inject them idiots all the ones that use BPC and T B 500 that come already in the same vile don’t work. I’m giving you a little free advice right now there’s not two peptides you can mix in a vile. You can mix them in a syringe, but nothing lasts together. Think of all these schmucks that are wasting their money on things called glow and the Wolverine stacked little. Do they know they’re wasting their fucking money That’s the only advice I’m gonna give out. I just saved you $1000 and a lot of disappointment watch the replies I get oh no you could mix stuff with the oil you can because I learned it on TikTok because TikTok taught me fucking idiots. Don’t know anything about human biology or biochemistry schmucks. They play Fortnite and play with themselves and eat twizzlers
Oh Lordy you think every single peptide has proteins that denature when in contact with each other?
Biochemistry & biology…? Pharmacology?
If you’d like to discuss anything from a textbook scientific standpoint I’m always all for it, but broad statements in ignorance just make you look like one of the “muppets” you are referring to.
Enough for nothing the stuff I’m saying is public fucking information dude just learned a little bit. Nobody wants to admit to when they’re wrong. Nobody said you can’t take the stuff that you want to. You can do what you want. It doesn’t work though maybe I’m helping you too you’re wasting your money. Listen I had to learn the hard way too. I didn’t know till I surrounded my people that are way fucking smarter. I definitely don’t take advice from anyone on any boards with no life experience or people that have lifted for one or two years are still fucking wet behind the ear. They can’t even mix a vile of anything correctly there you guys spelt it wrong again for that other asshole Fucking waste of life
Peptides are extremely fragile molecules.
Peptides are made of delicate chains of amino acids held together by weak bonds. Each peptide has its own pH, solubility, and molecular stability requirements. When you mix two peptides in the same vial, even if they’re both lyophilized (dry powder), their structures can interact and destabilize each other, causing degradation or loss of potency.
⸻
Once bacteriostatic water is added, the peptides become active and sensitive to light, temperature, and oxidation. Mixing two peptides in that solution means their molecular environments overlap, often leading to:
• pH imbalance,
• unwanted chemical reactions between chains,
• cross-contamination of binding sites.
This is especially true if one peptide has metal ions (like copper in GHK-Cu) — which leads us to the next point.
⸻
GHK-Cu carries copper ions (Cu²⁺) that can oxidize or denature other peptides. Copper is a strong redox-active metal; it promotes oxidation reactions that “eat away” or destabilize other peptide structures.
So if you mix GHK-Cu with something like BPC-157 or TB-500, the copper will start breaking their bonds down almost immediately — killing their biological activity.
⸻
Mixing inside the syringe just before injection is fine because the peptides only contact each other for a few seconds or minutes before entering the body. That short contact time isn’t long enough for them to degrade or react.
But storing them together in the same vial means constant exposure and interaction, which ruins their stability over time.
You’re copy & pasting Google to someone who works in the pharmaceutical industry.
I’m choosing not to input because the underlying aggression is clearly a sign of something much bigger within yourself my man. I hope you find peace.
I wouldn't bother trying to get any sense out of this guy mate - his issues seem to revolve around his 'Fucking Viles' LOL
You cant marry your peptides in the same vial, and enjoy it. They don’t work, u can however draw them up in the same syringe .. if your telling me right now you can mix ghk-cu with other peptides , your completely wrong , no name calling , your wrong and I’m right and my Mentor can easily explain it to u. 0% percent absorption.. copper is metal and will
Oxidize and destroy everything u mix with it..
But go ahead , you probably swallow your peptides like 99% of the brain dead
And I’m talking the 2 most post popular stacks — Wolverine , it’s a waste cause it don’t work. And glow which cost alot , and works 0 %. You wanna preach to people to waste their money you can, I am doing the opposite , also like the rocket scientist on this post about pushing juice and hgh on the gentlemen who started this post , u just might as well hit him with a sledge hammer .. do you agree with that? Or no.. let’s get this guy test , and hgh , all this shit w/o any bloods drawn , 99% is all bro science .. I have no filter and calling them all out..
Not going to argue moot points was just pointing out making broad absolutes that aren’t necessarily true isn’t a good look imo.
You do you my man. It just seems kinda Alex Jones esque mixing in some truths with absolutes that have no backing, but I agree with some of the sentiment.
If you actually want to chat or debate anything I’d love to.
The name calling/assumptions are more unnecessary ignorance as you don’t know me nor my background, but that doesn’t matter.
Hi guys with you bro I don’t care swear till I come to this board I don’t know what it is and I don’t know why it’s really funny. I think at the end of the day everyone’s trying to look out for each other. That’s all I mean cause every day we wake up when we leave the house everybody in the world against us. It’s a beat down every day. I gotta do a better job with vocabulary on here and it’s only this board. I don’t know what it is it’s hysterical.
"not gonna lie"
Thank u
Will look into that
So much info to absorb but all advice is appreciatef
Hell ya dude. Any time. Good luck. Eroids is a great place with tons of smarties. Not saying I'm one of them. But they are here lurking
