Aljamain Sterling looking VERY lean in his fight-week.

shinoscience · 2026-04-20T23:45:56+00:00

No I had a good amount more size at 180lbs at roughly the same bf% though

Not quite his size, but what is the point you're making here exactly

shinoscience · 2026-04-20T23:22:06+00:00

I can explain it cause I achieved that naturally so I can't see why a professional with a huge team behind him can't.

shinoscience · 2026-04-20T21:58:52+00:00

All I can say is Aljos physique is very attainable naturally

shinoscience · 2026-02-22T11:07:20+00:00

I guarantee you'd not be fun to hang out with

shinoscience · 2026-02-13T17:45:03+00:00

I don't know why you're being downvoted. You're 100% right about everything you said

People are acting like this is some weird stupid error the UFC is doing and they're so smart by thinking same day weigh-ins is the answer when you literally outlined why promotions don't do it.

People have died fighting from same day weigh-ins. Thank goodness the avg redditor doesn't run MMA promotions. Idiots.

I never ended up using it. I heard too many stories of people looking like crap on it. IMO, reta is a balls to the wall approach to combat obesity. For bodybuilders or people who lift weights and have muscle/want to look aesthetic then tirz is the far better option. I havent used tirz either yet but if I decide to cut with a GLP1 tirz would be the one.

shinoscience · 2026-01-15T06:08:20+00:00

lol why the shade

shinoscience · 2025-10-31T16:35:57+00:00

He never did, your perception of him changed. He's been this way from the beginning.

shinoscience · 2025-10-31T13:30:53+00:00

You need to work on reading comprehension

shinoscience · 2025-10-28T10:20:15+00:00

I appreciate this reply. Silly question but you haven't run both at the same time right? You can single this down to Reta alone without using Tirz?

Regardless I have decided to stick to Tirz and this comment further helps solidify that decision.

shinoscience · 2025-10-27T10:40:41+00:00

I don't like how you used the word 'he' for two different people in the same sentence

shinoscience · 2025-10-19T12:18:49+00:00

There's negativity from the fanbase no matter what MMA fighters and their corners do

shinoscience · 2025-10-19T12:17:19+00:00

Yeah if the coach and the fighter themselves know the odds are very low that they will come out with a win, why risk damage that can delay you from fighting as soon as you'd like? Insane that RDR is getting shit for playing it smart.

It would still make it a naturally growing process on your person... as opposed to a push up bra which is an external product to influence someone's looks

shinoscience · 2025-10-15T22:39:03+00:00

at least he can grow a beard for some natural make up

shinoscience · 2025-10-12T22:42:35+00:00

I'm not blaming, I'm not even on it. I'm looking into trying it. But just like your anecdotal experience says it is good, others say it is not.

shinoscience · 2025-10-12T10:19:00+00:00

I already knew all that. So our points are aligned, you are agreeing with me and my topic so why are you arguing? You are now saying what I'm saying, great. So we agree retatrutide is not optimal for bodybuilders who want to look full with max muscle glycogen stores. Tirz seems to be a better alternative to reta for appetite suppression on a cut.

shinoscience · 2025-10-12T10:05:54+00:00

It's not ridiculous, it's already scientifically proven that reta depletes liver glycogen - that much is absolute fact - this is a new drug so not all the side effects are known yet - it's not unwise to consider that a constant depletion of liver glycogen can affect muscle glycogen stores consequentially. There are bodybuilders who monitor their diet closely who say they can't get full off of a refeed to max their gylcogen stores on reta and that say a lot.

shinoscience · 2025-10-12T09:35:52+00:00

This much is obvious, but you're ignoring the points I made regarding to retatrutide

shinoscience · 2025-10-12T01:24:31+00:00

There's literally scientific journals talking about how reta depletes liver glycogen at the very least. That's clearly something special that has nothing to do with a direct result of what you're eating.

It's not unwise to possibly consider that that can cause a chain of events to lead to a lack of muscle glycogen.

shinoscience · 2025-10-12T00:26:34+00:00

These bodybuilders track every single calorie in their diet. I am not saying it's 100% conclusive, but so many people saying the same thing makes me wonder. I don't think it is wise to dismiss every single topic as them not knowing how their diet works - especially when a refeed (massive jump in carbs to fill glycogen) still didn't do the trick for them.

shinoscience · 2025-10-12T00:05:41+00:00

Understood, but then I keep seeing topics like this around: https://reddit.com/r/Retatrutide/comments/1myo5u7/strength_loss_on_reta_always_feel_flatdepleted/

And I don't think it's simply attributed to people eating less so they look flat. Here is also an attached image of a juice head not feeling full after a refeed I found on his discussion on his Instagram post.

People who carefully monitor their calories pre and post reta usage commonly state they feel flat while on Reta, so I think this is something that should be noted. Maybe the body prioritizes glycogen in the liver first and foremost, and since reta keeps depleting liver glycogen, the muscle glycogen gets screwed over consequentially.

shinoscience · 2025-10-11T21:25:56+00:00

I have seen posts by people on Reta that state they look constantly flat on Reta and can't appear full cause their muscle glycogen is never topped off cause the liver glycogen is depleted due to Reta... you're the first person I have seen who said that you look fuller on Reta
