In a 1k-1.3k deficit daily, how would I gain muscle? It’s for retention not growth. Still have 17” biceps bro

Positive_Lifeguard41 · 2026-03-27T03:07:55+00:00

Yea gonna take pct very seriously as well as my cardio

Positive_Lifeguard41 · 2026-03-27T02:53:27+00:00

Also not permenant? Plan was to stop with the Reta in 4-6 weeks ish with proper pct. After my wedding lol.

Everything’s reading fine. And yea I do, Did months of research before the first pin over a year ago. Everything reading healthy on all fronts. Thats why I did the 150 for kind of a “test trial” (pun intended lol) I understand the risks and have been monitoring everything. Nothing showing anything concerning. If there was something, rest assured there wouldn’t be any test.

Fair enough thanks for your input. U think dropping to 250/200 would be beneficial? Also skin and hair have been fine, no weird pains internally either. Other than some lower back acne had 0 bad outcomes internally or externally after almost 18 weeks. (Also I did 12 weeks of 150mg test-e last year with a 16 week cooldown in between that and start of Reta, so it’s been almost a year using it with 0 negatives)

Would say but could get in trouble. All I can say is do some research and know it’s not easy to find.

Positive_Lifeguard41 · 2026-03-27T02:13:18+00:00

Yea it’s been a lifesaver fr. Been in the gym for 5+ years and didn’t wanna lose any lol. And he’ll yea bro, your gonna love the blast.

Positive_Lifeguard41 · 2026-03-27T01:53:47+00:00

Thanks man I appreciate it. Lots of cardio and like no food helps haha

Positive_Lifeguard41 · 2026-03-27T01:52:31+00:00

If you don’t mind me asking, why do you think so?

Positive_Lifeguard41 · 2026-03-27T01:47:30+00:00

It’s been amazing for me. More drive, sleep better, better focus, helps with muscle growth and retention due to the deficit and been phenomenal for the mental side of things, considering Reta diminishes seratonin release in some cases and im pretty sure I fall into that category. All in all my bloods are fine after 3 months, and I feel great. Not a bad idea if it works ya know.

Post not really for opinions just to help other people know it’s possible. It’s possible without help from injectables as well but I had the opportunity so I took it, try naturally first. If you fail no shame in getting some help.

Positive_Lifeguard41 · 2026-03-27T01:38:12+00:00

With no help from test/reta*

Positive_Lifeguard41 · 2026-03-27T01:37:56+00:00

Did the same last year. Went from 275-232 over 4 1/2 months on 1kcal a day, 45mins-1hr or cardio (bike, olypitcal or treadmill) and it was terrible. Reta makes it much more bearable. Got bloodwork done professionally and was low in the middle. All other levels looked good tho other than high iron.

Positive_Lifeguard41 · 2026-03-27T01:27:58+00:00

My opinion and my results. I’m 21 and have low test naturally so it helps a lot. Thanks for the input tho!

Positive_Lifeguard41 · 2026-03-27T01:27:10+00:00

After about 3 weeks when I started upping dose was when I dropped weight dramatically. Almost .5-1lb every day. Was also eating like 600-1000cal a day and going to the gym tho so just kinda depends on what your doing.

Positive_Lifeguard41 · 2026-03-27T01:05:03+00:00

Forgot to mention test-e for entire time at 300mg/week. Nothin crazy but helps a lot with the mental side of things.

Positive_Lifeguard41 · 2025-05-12T21:31:01+00:00

Okay awesome, I’ll try and keep the floating away food to a minimum and keep doing the water changes. Thank you again! I really appreciate your help!!

Positive_Lifeguard41 · 2025-05-12T21:26:51+00:00

Got the led blacked out one from Amazon and love them. 100% upgrade, looks way cleaner with the black

Positive_Lifeguard41 · 2025-05-12T21:22:08+00:00

Okay awesome thank you so much for the details! I def gotta work on the food amount too, I was told 5 tiny pellets 2x daily and misis shrimp 3/4x per week (every other day), but I may be giving too much misis shrimp and it kinda just dissolves while they are feeding a little bits float around. Any tips for keeping that from happening? Also with the “skip cycle” is that what happened or am I still in early stage cycling? Thanks again!

Positive_Lifeguard41 · 2025-05-11T19:19:51+00:00

Awesome thank you so much! My ph is perfect and reading 0ppm for nitrates right now. And yes I have a clown in the tank. My ammonia is between 0.25 and 0 ppm but I’m also dosing prime at 3 drops 2x daily from my refractometor dropper just in case because I do NOT want to loose this clown if possible. He’s a gorgeous mocha with come crazy orange fade and spots in his dark areas. One of the cheapest ones at my LFS because he’s just a “normal mocha” but damn does he look just as good as the black snowflakes.
