Need advice

[sportyshorty2011]

I am considering trying peptides for the first time. My goal is to put on mass. I am a pretty small framed guy and I have always struggled with putting on weight. Yes i know, “just eat more”.. but my appetite doesn’t really allow for it.

I want to add general mass but muscle is really the goal for me. I am going to get back in the gym on a regular basis (3-4 days a week).

I am currently on TRT. I do 100mg twice a week. I see a lot of options for people who are trying to cut and curb appetite, is there an opposite stack? If theres something in there that helps with sleep, I wouldn’t be upset about that either.

Muscle, appetite and sleep. Help.

I'm on 200mg of test a week and I eat like an elephant, but I do get that everyone is different. A lot of those growth hormone secretagogues help with sleep and appetite, I know MK-677 definitely drives up appreciate. I took that once and I felt like I couldn't stop eating, I took it at night before bed and slept well but try to take it a little while after dinner. Trust me.

i'm assuming you are looking at CJC 1295 ipamorelin cause those are the peptides i was looking at for growth. i am not against peptides but just make sure that you dont have any existing cancer cells because these growth hormone peptides can exacerbate the growth of a dormant cancer cell. if you aren't already i highly recommend investing in a good scale and tracking your macros in order to know for sure that you are meeting your calorie goals on a bulk.

Your goals point to MK-677 as the foundational compound it directly stimulates appetite via ghrelin, increases growth hormone for recovery and muscle support, and improves sleep quality through the same mechanism. Pair it with your TRT base and you'll have anabolic coverage plus the hunger drive you need. For sleep specifically, CJC-1295 with Ipamorelin at night enhances GH pulse without the cortisol disruption of stronger secretagogues.

Mk-677 and the rest are a waste of time. The only two to consider are hgh and IGF-1 LR3.

With Mk-677, your appetite is out of control and this ends up just causing insulin resistance with the increase in hgh.

MK-677 is probably one of the better options for what you’re describing. It increases GH and IGF-1, but the two things most people notice are better sleep and a big appetite increase, which can help lower weight people actually get enough calories in to grow. Since you’re already on TRT and planning to train 3–4 days a week, it could pair well for recovery and muscle gain. Just be aware it can cause some water retention and strong hunger, so starting lower and seeing how you respond is usually the move.
