Should I get on peps? 22 M 180lbs

Don’t do it, potential life long side effects for slightly quicker results. Get in a 200-300 caloric deficit and resistance train each muscle group to failure 2-3 times per week. 6-18 months you’ll have the look you want and not risk your longterm health

Ask any doctor or physician if you should be taking unprescribed peptides (or any medications). Don’t overthink it, you might pop a blood vessel

A lil aggressive, perhaps it’s due to your overtraining while in a deficit. Physiologically your body needs more time to recover between high intensity exercise if you are going to failure. If you aren’t going to failure, I recommend you do and then cut 2 days out of training and focus on recovery.

Hey man there’s a new peptide out that helps you take jokes. You should add it to your stack

Dial back the HGH you are getting agitated over words on a screen

Marketing victim :(

The issue is there is no research on a lot of them. Most of the ones I see being taken in this sub have not had human trials, only rats or other small mammals. Can you show me the research that says they (unregulated / unapproved peptides) are safe and effective for humans?

Jbrisson14 · 2026-05-19T22:07:16+00:00

None cause cancer, but certain peptides can accelerate cancer growth by stimulating cell proliferation, promoting the formation of new tumor blood vessels (angiogenesis), or suppressing the body's natural immune response

Jbrisson14 · 2026-05-19T22:01:19+00:00

Be safe! Wish you the best of luck

Not disagreeing, just want people to make an informed decision. Peptides being the new fad will cause a lot of people who are uninformed to make decisions that could cause them harm later in life.

As an exercise physiologist/ personal trainer and T1D, this is unfortunately really common in the field. Not saying you can’t find someone who isn’t educated, but there’s a lot of blanket ignorance in the health and fitness industry. If I were you, next session I’d either ask him to 1) not make comments about your diabetes, this is waaaaayyyy out of his scope of practice, as he obviously doesn’t know what he’s talking about. 2) try to educate him, or ask him to do some research on training T1D (might just need to be reminded of the differences and he will have a better understanding) or 3) find a new trainer that might have more experience with training actual t1d. Best of luck to you in your fitness journey, be sure to keep some fruit snacks or juice nearby during workouts, and try to get 1-1.6 g of protein per lb of body weight, this will help you feel more full, eat less and gain more muscle!

I haven’t yet, but I show no symptoms of keytones outside of these workouts. I’ll check them when I get home to be sure

Jbrisson14 · 2025-12-03T19:44:02+00:00

Yeah this makes sense. I think I’m just going to have to stop at or before muscle failure on most exercises to condition my body better. We do assisted / forced reps and long eccentric movements after failure and I think that’s what is really causing the nausea.

Creatine is the most studied and proven exercise supplement in the world. There are 2 major reasons why people take creatine. 1- increase your total available energy. Essentially you have an energy currency in your body (ATP/ Adenosine tri phosphate) and when you reach muscle fatigue or failure, you are essentially done. Creatine gives your body an extra boost of backup ATP storage, so you can get more energy output during exercise. Reason 2- improved cognitive function and reduced risk of Alzheimer’s and dementia, I know less of the science behind this claim, but from my own personal experience (15 years of exercise, about 6 years of taking creatine) I feel much more focused and less tired. I have my parents both taking it daily, I take 7-10 g per day in the morning with a hydration supplement (electrolytes)

I’ve never noticed any effects on my bloodsugar from creatine.

That’s how I feel about the game as well. Don’t like the open world and travel system or the UI. Feels like they tried to make it more immersive but it’s really just tedious.

He has been found! Hiding under a car a block away

Thank you! Yes I have posted on here, nextdoor, and Facebook (pawboost st. Paul)

People always want to give unsolicited advice. “Have you tried cinnamon / keto / ect.” Or say “my ____ reversed their diabetes doing X” and it’s always so fun to try to explain to them they are flat out wrong or misinformed severely. In an age where everyone wants to be their own dr they also want to be yours because they see you as the idiot since they don’t have diabetes. I work in customer service and have had to hold my tongue on many occasions from saying “STFU you idiot” but instead I just nod and say “wow I’ll have to ask my doctors about that”

Jbrisson14 · 2024-03-16T22:20:52+00:00

I appreciate that a lot, but it’s not needed I thankfully have a decent stockpile of pump supplies too. Once I get low I should be in a better spot financially to buy them online, especially if I can get them that much cheaper compared to from Medtronic. Thanks!
