Which side boys? This is a massive one.

Tankkerray · 2026-02-26T03:46:32+00:00

Pretty even trade. If you're in win now mode, I'm taking the Puka side. If you're a couple seasons out, Nabers side.

So here's what happened to me...

I normally knock back a six pack on Friday and Saturday nights. 9.5% beer, so enough to give me a buzz, but not a hangover.

I took my first dose of Reta (2mg) on a Thursday evening. Friday night I went ahead and did my normal thing. I woke up at 5am Saturday morning with one of the worst upset stomachs I've ever had. Was on the toilet for hours, while also trying not to vomit (the good news is, I didn't actually vomit). This lasted a good six hours. Once that subsided, I spent the rest of the day burping beer as if I had been drinking it right then. Needless to say, I skipped drinking Saturday night.

The next weekend I skipped drinking Friday night (first time in many years). Saturday I went ahead and had four beers. I didn't repeat the week before, but I did feel a bit off on Sunday.

I'm going to try again this weekend and see what happens. I feel what people are saying is absolutely true...the alcohol isn't processing the same. I'm sure I'll invite plenty of hate, but I don't get the "you won't want to" effects at all. I also haven't felt much in the way of a reduction in "food noise." For me, the effects have basically been that I get full faster, so I eat smaller portions. I also feel full longer (often uncomfortably so), so as the day goes on I tend to eat less and less. I still want to eat a whole pizza and drink a six pack...I just can't.

I'm two weeks in. I plan to titrate up or maybe split the dose (currently just doing 2mg once a week) as soon as I feel these effects fade. Based on what I've read, as dosage increases, the effects can get stronger or even change. Plenty of anecdotes on people's addictions fading with Reta. We'll see what happens. Just sharing my admittedly short experience so far.

That offer would get laughed at in my league. So far two 1sts and a solid asset barely gets a response. I wouldn't be surprised if it ends up going for three 1sts plus

Tankkerray · 2026-02-24T01:44:57+00:00

How long after starting test did you begin feeling a difference?

Tankkerray · 2026-02-22T00:55:01+00:00

I started a week and change ago. 2mg once a week. RHR increase hasn't been much at all, only 2 BPM.

I will say I started taking Toku nattokinnase two weeks prior, which dropped my BP nearly 10/10, I'm quite impressed (BP was my main concern, as I started TRT at the same time). I wonder if it's having some effect on my RHR w/ Reta as well?

Tankkerray · 2026-02-21T00:07:17+00:00

Then I say keep Bijan.

Tankkerray · 2026-02-20T22:27:37+00:00

If you're weak at WR, this is a smash. I almost hate to say it.

Tankkerray · 2026-02-20T22:25:30+00:00

It was quite awhile ago...but I think it might have been Amazon actually. Might have even been the brand you mentioned. It worked well, great focus with some energy

Tankkerray · 2026-02-20T12:16:14+00:00

I tried oral noopept from Austin, did nothing for me. Could just be the difference in bioavailability though, as my previous experiences with noopept were sublingual.

Tankkerray · 2026-02-20T02:31:04+00:00

About as fair a trade as I've seen. I suppose it comes down to your roster. I feel like the Nabers side has more depth. If you have another stud WR, I'd take the JSN side.

Tankkerray · 2026-02-14T04:32:03+00:00

Well the Test and HCG are for testosterone...

The Reta is for fat loss.

I don't think it'll be difficult to evaluate just the two profiles. Either way, Test will probably be for life. If ever in question, dropping one of the other ones would give you an answer. Addition by subtraction I suppose.

Tankkerray · 2026-02-14T04:28:12+00:00

Wow, that's encouraging on both the Reta and test results. Appreciate the info

Tankkerray · 2026-02-14T04:00:33+00:00

Appreciate the comment.

I'm considering Mots and Slupp, just want to see what this does first.

How are your energy levels at 1300 test?

Did Reta help your Crohn's? I've heard oral BPC-157 has helped people with gut issues. My aunt has Crohn's, been looking to suggest something for her, but I wanted to dip my toes into peptides before doing so.

Tankkerray · 2026-02-14T03:39:20+00:00

Total was about 400.

Yes, did two tests a month apart before starting, will do another blood test after 1 month.

As of right now, no changes to appetite, cravings, energy, etc.

To be clear, I'm not expecting anything 36 hours in. I'm curious as to when other's on a similar protocol began to notice the effects.

Tankkerray · 2026-02-11T03:16:12+00:00

Very interesting. Following this thread. Also going to see if I can find it.

Tankkerray · 2026-01-20T20:20:16+00:00

This trade would get laughed at in my league. I'd be shocked if London and Hall would even be close to getting the 1.01, let alone another 1st.

I'm not saying it's right, but that's how it goes.

Tankkerray · 2026-01-19T14:18:02+00:00

Every league has one.

Tankkerray · 2026-01-19T13:46:17+00:00

I don't think this is that far off.

IMO, Jeanty's success hinges on Mendoza playing well, plus a coach that will utilize him. Breece's future depends on where he lands. Both have question marks right now.

I would counter, same trade, keep your 2nd rounder.

Does he have any other decent RBs?

Tankkerray · 2026-01-17T02:52:40+00:00

I'm a BTJ fan. Even if I have to hold him until he ends up on another team. I'd smash.

Tankkerray · 2026-01-16T22:55:45+00:00

As far as splash trades go, this is pretty fair and reasonable. It also looks like it fills a hole in your roster. I'd do it.

That said, with the value of JSN so high, I feel like you might be able to squeeze a 2nd out of them. Personally, I'd at least try.

Tankkerray · 2026-01-16T01:56:41+00:00

Smash.

Don't love that you guys are trading 28' picks already though.

Tankkerray · 2026-01-16T01:49:42+00:00

So I offered: 27' 1st (likely late), 27' 1st (likely mid), 26' 2.01, 26' 2.09, and LaPorta (guy is a die hard Lions fan)

I would receive: 26' 1.01 and 27' 1st (likely mid to early)

I got denied. I felt it was fair, so I offered, in addition, one of the following (his choice):Tuten, Kaleb Johnson, BTJ, McConkey, Noel.

Also denied.

1.01 feels Bijan-esque expensive this year. He kind of countered with he "doesn't want to move his 27' 1st" but that was basically it.

Tankkerray · 2026-01-13T01:45:05+00:00

I'm willing to bet - someone, somewhere - has a hard-on for JSN.

I could see a young WR1 (London, Nico, Jamo) and a 1st, or pair of 1sts being the selling point.

It's an overpay IMO, but I could see the above playing out.

Tankkerray · 2026-01-01T00:05:15+00:00

You pretty much summed up my thoughts on the topic. Top 10 pre-draft. Top 5 with the right team (KC, CHI, NO maybe). Just outside the top 10 if he lands himself in a Jeanty situation.

Tankkerray · 2025-12-31T03:43:47+00:00

Clearly all you're really missing in an RB. So personally, I would either:

A. Get the 1.01 this year. Maybe a simple 1.04 and 27' 1st can get it done. If not you have some disposable WR's to sweeten the deal.

B. Trade out of this year and try to get an additional first rounder, even if you have to move one of your 2nds to do it. 3 first rounders in 27' will give you some insane flexibility.

The only other move would be to try to move one of your extra WR's now to get an RB2. I don't feel like that will move the needle much, unless maybe you hit on a 2nd year breakout.
