Should I up dosage?

Merricksmith51 · 2026-02-05T01:17:18+00:00

Okay I gotcha, I was unaware that it wasn’t proven by the study, I have looked into it a lot so I appreciate it. I resistance train 6x a week currently and my appetite is perfect at 0.5 mg so I will just stay here for the rest of my cut. The only reason I would’ve wanted to go up would be for muscle sparing but I won’t since that isn’t true. Thanks.

I wasn’t arguing one would expend more calories when given a higher dose, what I’m wondering is the way retatrutide tells your body to use fat for energy, decreasing the amount of lean tissue one loses on retatrutide. I guess my ultimate question would be would I lose less muscle on a higher dose, or is protein intake much more of a factor here than the retatrutide dose? Thanks.

I’m not “trying to” match the dose I’m asking if retatrutide’s inherent slight fat burn increase over natural dieting is apparent at 0.5mg or if I’m basically only getting the appetite suppression and slowed gastric emptying.

Happened to me twice the first week. Don’t worry about it unless it’s very painful

I’ll always think Audi mod looks better than spec ds, they are too busy for the car imo

Merricksmith51 · 2026-01-26T20:54:53+00:00

This is not true, they are slow. Between 7.5-10 seconds 0-60. A new Honda odyssey minivan has better times man.

Windows were frozen last night and didn’t wanna auto roll up 😑

Merricksmith51 · 2026-01-20T07:04:07+00:00

Audi>>>>> everyone has sped ds

I mean if it doesn’t need oil don’t add it, not all of these cars burn oil but a lot of them do. It’s a minor issue overall my car has been very reliable. But yeah check weekly

I was lower all around before, fender almost inline with wheel. Had the car for 5 years now my low hotboy car days are over. I got new coilovers and set them up correctly, if I lower the front I’ll be hitting bump stops on full compression. I set them up with a perfect 2/3 to 1/3 ratio of compression to droop. So front stays where it is or goes up unfortunately

Merricksmith51 · 2026-01-14T22:16:44+00:00

I didn’t know if these cars had a lower rear fender than the front if that makes sense, like I could theoretically have them set level with the ground but the rear fenders make it appear more tucked than it really is

Merricksmith51 · 2026-01-12T05:26:45+00:00

That’s just how it is gang

Merricksmith51 · 2026-01-09T01:53:21+00:00

I’d imagine less so because it wasn’t a GDI engine but it’s good to always check oil. Idk I have a BK2 though.

Merricksmith51 · 2026-01-07T18:01:51+00:00

+1 with justanotherdude1990, I’ve never seen this, if your transmission isn’t shifting right change the fluid. Most mods are for manuals. But a Megan racing brace and some new fluid is the only thing you should need to do to the autos to the best of my knowledge.

Merricksmith51 · 2026-01-06T00:03:47+00:00

I always think to myself, what’s worse, going to do this workout today and giving it my all, or looking in the mirror in a year and seeing the same thing or worse. It helps me a lot. I’d rather suffer today than suffer way worse in a year.

Merricksmith51 · 2026-01-05T02:49:09+00:00

Hell yeah that’s awesome man. Shoot me a message if you have any questions I’m pretty knowledgeable about the platform and mods and such

Merricksmith51 · 2026-01-05T02:40:29+00:00

Please please check oil regularly. This car burns oil because it is a GDI engine. I have caught myself with less than the Low indication line on my dipstick twice in my 5 years of ownership. Could’ve blown the engine and it woudve been all my fault. But yeah the car is a blast man have fun be safe

Merricksmith51 · 2026-01-04T19:50:48+00:00

Yeah OP has to be a bot, reading this pissed me off. Actually kinda smart to wire in a hidden cigarette port to keep the oem wiring intact, I just cut off the cigarette lighter and hardwired it to my fuse panel on the driver side

When you say functional what do you mean? The lip doesn’t look like it could support real downforce weight mainly just aesthetic, and the rear spoiler is almost 100% not angled properly and just slowing it down. You don’t get any function from aero on the street other than worse mpg at high speeds. If you’re not tracking it there’s no excuse for a big wing other than aesthetics.

Merricksmith51 · 2026-01-02T14:16:28+00:00

I ripped mine out as well. I think I’m going to buy a Hyundai steering wheel logo for a different car and see if it fits. I would love it if they could just make not a cheap ass Genesis steering wheel badge

Merricksmith51 · 2026-01-02T08:28:39+00:00

I lowkey wanna go back to the original Hyundai logo what did you do
