Gossip & Opinions / Re: Working out and Ozempic
« Last post by Grape Ape on Today at 06:58:43 AM »They say the weight lost is like almost half muscle in people who don't lift. This really should be taken with PEDs IMO. Many of you probably saw about the trials of Ozempic stacked with myostatin inhibitors. Muscle actually went up, but the sides might be bad, hard to tell yet. We know what low dose steroids do, relatively benign. Say 200mg of test a week. In forced bed rest on catabolic thyroid meds 200mg Test added 2kg of muscle in about 3 or 4 weeks, where the control group lost muscle.
Look at Retatrutide as a better alternative, it's the rage among "PED influencers" right now.
Speaking of fat loss. I had an extremely dramatic fat loss recently without trying. I had lost weight involuntarily in recent months. Just came home from the hospital after having my gallbladder removed. Now I naturally sit at >20% BF. Imagine my shock at the hospital when they tell me they can't give me subcutaneous injections in the belly because there's no fat there, they had to shoot in my thigh!Never in my wildest dreams did I imagine a situation like this, I would've assumed getting to this bodyfat would take a year of hard deprivation dieting. Appetite has been down but I've consciously drank sugar sodas, like 10+ cans a day, and as much fat as I could tolerate. And obviously protein, lots of RTDs throughout the day. A couple of cooked meals, again as fatty and unhealthy as possible.
Saw a podcast with a compound pharmacist who CLAIMED they combine their semiglutide with IGF-1 or something and there was minimal muscle loss. Also claimed folks take WAY to much to start, and they offer a more tailored approach, started with much lower doses and increasing if necessary, rather than going in with the "normal" dose right off the bat.
