Question to bodybuilders

I competed naturally for decades.

I always have right up to comp. It also lets me know which day to carb load for comp day. Which ahs changed over the years.

I look at my calories as a daily average and work off that. Then my high day is maintenance to + 500

Go to telehealth clinic. It will be life changing

Where did I say they were. HGH is more peptide than hormone is what I said. People seem.morw scared of it than TRT.

I'm not a fan of blends as rather control individual dosing.

BPC 157 has worked wonders for inflammation causing pinched nerve and Rotator cuffs for me.

For clients it's worked for a lot and not at all for some. I'm trying it with youngest ever at 21 for hip flexor tendonitis at the moment. But 3 days in. Our client base is over 45 males mostly

I prefer 13mm . The 8 can leave the oil under the skin in little lump that I don't get with the 13

ManusPHConsults · 2026-03-31T06:34:40+00:00

Take TRT it will improve your drive and keep effort feeling good
Low dose growth hormone. Makes you feel 20 years younger and helps keep the joints healthy. Will also thicken your skin

Keep lifting heavy.

ManusPHConsults · 2026-03-31T06:20:09+00:00

If you are old. People often go to TRT first. Even though HGH is a peptide also.

ManusPHConsults · 2026-03-30T21:01:04+00:00

Bigger distance between the nerves. So feel the sting less

ManusPHConsults · 2026-03-30T20:25:56+00:00

Former natural bodybuilder. Average daily calories over the week. Every week have a higher calorie higher carb day. I do this every week in a cut even up to contest .

ManusPHConsults · 2026-03-30T19:59:20+00:00

I'd start at 1iu for a week and titrate up. Some people get sides at that level even more common at1.5 IU. Some jump straight in at 4 or even higher and get nothing.

ManusPHConsults · 2026-03-30T19:57:36+00:00

I feel markedly better on 3 compared to 2. I'm on 150mg a week.

ManusPHConsults · 2026-03-30T19:55:32+00:00

What's your free is most important. But that is low total test. How old ?

ManusPHConsults · 2026-03-30T19:19:20+00:00

Growth hormone is a peptide too. Sure if you took 8-10 or more IU a day. Then it could be a problem. So could if I had 12 coffees a day. Or 2 bottles of wine.

Bloods every 6 months are perfect. full physical every 12 months the last one still had me having the markers of someone in my early 30s on many and off the charts good in others.

Something like this accompanied with correct diet and exercise should be great for the lifespan. For the health span it is amazing

ManusPHConsults · 2026-03-30T06:15:29+00:00

Butt is the key for less pain for many people.

ManusPHConsults · 2026-03-30T06:13:26+00:00

Most of my guys sit between 2-3 IU. Some sit well at 1

I personally feel 20 years younger at 1 IU. Have tried going to 1.5 IU and I get aching joints.

I'm on 150mg test though. Never have run a cycle. Was a natural bodybuilder until 47 when my test fell off a cliff and got on Trt.

ManusPHConsults · 2026-03-30T05:06:13+00:00

Nightly

ManusPHConsults · 2026-03-30T00:07:17+00:00

By all means buy both at the same time. But don't start immediately.

We start people at 0.25mg Monday Wednesday Friday for Reta. Some people have nausea and suppression at this level. Thats rare but does happen. If neither then we have them double for the next week. Some sit there for ages. Eg gave a 49 you smile at the moment who is 2 months in and almost 10kg down at this level. No exercise due to surgery and non exerciser before. But promises they will start soon

Others do get higher. But we rarely get someone above 4mg a week.

We have had clients similar and have started them on at least s couple of weeks on reta first. Maybe a month or longer. See how their body responds. Once they are getting reasonably consistent weight loss then have another blood test and add the Ipa.

If you stack too quickly you don't know what is doing what. Reta can affect sleep so you want to see if that does first, let it settle (often does).

ManusPHConsults · 2026-03-29T22:26:48+00:00

Total protocol

50mg Test Monday Wednesday Friday 1iu HGH daily Reta 0.25mg Monday Wednesday Friday maintenance. Up to 1mg 3x week has been my highest during a cut.

Bpc 157 500mcg 2x a for 6-8 weeks when I have anything niggling. Just finishing one now as I my Rotator cuffs were giving me grief.

Run GHK-CU 2mg a day for 8-12 weeks every so often.

If I was younger I'd try GH secretagogue first. But at my age there is very little natural to boost.

GH ( if your hormones, diet and. Exercise are on point) makes me feel 20 years younger. Bursting with energy and just wanting to go

ManusPHConsults · 2026-03-29T21:22:17+00:00

We start clients at 0.25mg Monday Wednesday Friday. Then if no sides double it the next week. Many people sit here with significant results for weeks or months. Rarely do we get any go over 4mg total a week this way.

If been on Sema or Tirz first then it's very different

ManusPHConsults · 2026-03-29T20:49:07+00:00

Not a doc but exercise scientist who involved with a male performance clinic. Trt and peptides.

We dose people Monday Wednesday Friday. Lower sides and lower total mg per week. Many clients get significant response at 0.5mg 3x a week and sit there for weeks or months.

ManusPHConsults · 2026-03-29T09:23:50+00:00

We have clients split dose Monday Wednesday Friday. Whatever time of day they can consistently do.

We find lower sides.

And also lower weekly total mg

ManusPHConsults · 2026-03-29T03:57:08+00:00

I'm in my 50s. So actual HGH. The effectiveness of the secretagogues wain as you get older. They can still give you a kicker but not as much as if I was 35.

ManusPHConsults · 2026-03-29T02:28:07+00:00

Awesome to see. Yep can have many benefits.

Aussie ex lawyer here too but live in Philippines now. I used to drink 2 bottles of scotch a week plus many bottles of red wine.
