MOTS-c at 4 weeks: Metabolic & Muscle #815

Just wanted to update my reta speed run. Week 6 now 33 lbs lost. Starting weight 307lbs. 35 yo male. Former Marine / athlete. Before I started i bulked up and got the strongest I've ever been. Muscular build but carried a lot of extra fat for sure. As far as health concerns, my labs look incredible. All bloodwork shows improvement and my fatty liver is decreasing. For those concerned about gallbladder, I already had it removed. I've had zero side effects. I may be considered a "super responder". My strength has decreased maybe 10% but my conditioning and cardio has since tripled. I've also started KLOW and MOTSC. I know some take it nice and slow and lose 10 lbs a year but I never planned this to happen. My max dose on reta has never exceeded 3.5 mg maybe. Dosing maybe 4-6 days as I feel it wearing off. I enjoy the comments and hope to get more input.

Would love to give you a proper MOTS-c review but I’ve made a mess of the experiment. Took it fasted on rest days for three days and felt awful. Stopped, restarted at the same amount after breakfast, went straight to the gym and felt great. So was it the peptide? The food? Actually exercising? Apparently I need to control more variables than “same vial.”

I have been on Reta for 26 weeks now. 5mg but will go up to 6mg soon. I lost 57 lbs and counting, while keeping a slight caloric defecit. Me and my wife have been having sex nonstop & I am the healthiest i have ever been and i am starting SS-31 and Mots-C soon after. I love this day and age we live in!

My iPhone doesn’t recognize my face anymore. I act like it’s aggravating but deep down I enjoy the inconvenience and refuse to reset the settings. 5ft 10 male down 60 lbs since January to 152lbs and more defined in my mid fifties than ever before. Went from a 36 inch waist to 30. All my bio markers are perfect. Triple ag was as high as 8mg a week now maintained at 2.5mg, two twelve week cycles of Tesa, two cycles of MotsC, GHKCU every night, NAD mornings and currently on week two of twelve CJC1295/Ipa. Weight lifting /cycling three times a week has been the norm. Expensive buying new clothes but love how I look in my Bylt medium polos. Oh I haven’t touched alcohol in over seven weeks. When weight lifting and listening to the same songs over and over I have to use my code on my phone because face recognition doesn’t work! Good times!

I'm planning on using the following stack. Reta, Mots-c, Ipamorelin, Tesamorelin. Has anyone used a stack like this before and what are your results? Also what (REDACTED) would you recommend?

I forgot I started a new vile with more Mgs of Mots-c and injected 9mg instead of 3mg. Went to the gym later in the afternoon, and it was my best session in months. Also ran on treadmill at 12 degrees and 6.5 speed for 20 mins. Never did that before!

Topical GHK-Cu seems like a waste to me. Your skin is a barrier, no way a big ass positively charged peptide like that is getting through in significant amounts. A needle bypasses that and lets you absorb 100% of what you paid for. Injection site doesn't even matter because I've been blasting my gut with 2mg of this copper peptide every 2 days, sometimes I forget a day but that's okay it's a saturation thing. Anyway, the receding Vegeta hairline I was starting to get because of my natural 2000 Test filled back in after GHK-Cu. No local injections, no wasteful topical serums or creams or whatever BS, just a few months of gut pins @1mg/day. 26M btw and the only other stuff in my stack is Reta and MOTS-C so it wasn't those.

Running Reta at 1.5mg once a week and dropped 9kg in 7 weeks from 100kg to 91kg along with L2 rucking. Two meals under 1,800 cals and 150g+ protein. SS-31 cycle complete and MOTS-C started cycle 1 of 3), feeling more energetic in the afternoon. Wife now pinning GHK Cu for three cycles to explore skin improvement. Loving the peptide thing.
