re: Mounjaro, beneficial side effects

Just checked out peptide sciences. Came across GHRP-2. Is this considered steroids etc? Never really heard of peptides. Been working out 4-5 days a week for 14 months doing ppsa plans.

Thanks for the info. Reading about those now.

I’m not exactly sure of my specific goals other than looking better and getting stronger. DL ~300 SQ ~250 Bench ~230 started from scratch 12/21.

Edit: I’ll add that I’m 6’ and 180-185 and have stayed the same weight since I started but have lost fat (waist size, face etc)

so PS is 3mg, I would start with no more than .5mg for 4 weeks, most women start at .25 for 4 weeks.

so to make dosage easy, add 6ml of water. That makes it .5mg/ml. you can then a 1ml insulin syringe to draw up 100 units which is 1ml which would be 0.5mg. inject subq in stomach fat.

wtf, that makes no sense still. PS is 5mg for mounjaro. 0.5mg of what? If you add 6ml of water, I'm assuming you mean it will create 10ml of solution making it 0.5mg/ml and each ml of solution will be 0.5mg of MJ. However, the dosage for MJ is 2.5mg for 4 weeks then +2.5mg every 4 weeks until sides are intolerable. The lab test on the page says Solubility: 5mg/ml H2O so that makes me think there is 50mg of powder in the vial and you are supposed to add in enough water to get it to 10ml or is it total of 5mg with 1ml of water for the entire vial?

Tirzepatide 5mg
Tirzepatide is a synthetic derivative of gastric inhibitory polypeptide (GIP) that has simultaneous glucagon-like peptide-1 (GLP-1) functionality as well. This combination allows Tirzepatide to lower blood glucose levels, increase insulin sensitivity, boost feelings of satiety, and accelerate weight loss. Tirzepatide was developed to fight type 2 diabetes, but has additionally been shown to protect the cardiovascular system and act as a potent weight loss agent.

I'm so glad to see you back posting again. I love reading your posts.

What do you do for a living? You are very knowledgeable about this stuff.

engineer in the plants. the engineering background gave me a good understanding on how to read studies and have been at this for for 27 years now, atleast weight lifting.

got really interested in the supplement side when i was really younger and started doing lots of research, then about 7 years ago when we were having trouble getting pregnant i started researching the hormone side

i have a pretty good feel for the biochem side of things for some reason. all of it just comes natural to me and in hindsite prolly should have done medical to begin with. love my career and have no regrets though.

i dunno i just find most of the chem side easy but i did do 3.5 years and 100 credit hours in chemical engineering before organic 2 made me think i hated chemical engineering so i switched to civil. the minor in math prolly doesnt hurt either with the calcs

ill be honest, you dont need the shite. you just need to get your act together. sorry if that comes off as being a dick but seen you at your best, you 100% have the knowledge and ability to get back to that easy, unless you are talkign for family member, thats different.

you would personally prolly be better off starting EC stack and maybe metformin or the supps i mentioned earlier to control blood sugar than getting on mounjaro, assuming you handle stims well.

You ain't hurtin my feelings, baw. It ain't for me. My issue is I'm trying to do the "scientifically best" and I hate it so I'm lacking. I like PPSA so I'll stick with it but diets and shite, I can't do the calorie bank IIFYM type. I need to punish myself with the same shite everyday and do lower carb and high fats/protein

im same way. i have to be ultra strick to see progress....cause frick man i like to eat and can take down 1500 calories liek it aint nothing.


and keep it simple man. something i learned a long time ago from martin berkham was simple....create 2 meal plans. one for days you lift, one for the one you dont. days you lift, keep the fats lower and carbs higher, on days you dont, fats higher, carbs lower.

no science behind it but allows some variety. so lets say you are on 4 day ppsa, you simple

mon/tues- meal plan 1
wed- meal plan 2
thurs/fri- plan 1

sat/sun- meal plan 2 or fast all day and just eat dinner if going with family.

or you can create 3 meal plans. that away tues/fri are different and not eat same thing 2 days in a row.


like for me, right now im at about 1750-1800 cals

easist thing for me is protein shakes during the day, atleast for breakfast.

so i have the following:

1)fairlife core power 42g shake in the morning

2)lunch is 8oz chicken breast and 1/2 a packet of the little potatoe company microwave potatoes

3) 10oz salmon and 1/2 pack uncle ben microwave jasmine rice nad 1 cup sauteed(no oils) of trinity(onion/GP/celery). i cook rice and sautee with the trinity and put fish on top.

4) post workout- fairlife 25g shake or scoop of protien powder in fair life fat free milk.


my other meals are similar but i rotate out the salmon for 16oz shrimp, whole containter of the potatoes and whole bag of the rice. i drop the protein shakes except one after lifting.

other one is same as meal plan 2 but tuna in place of shrimp and then i add 4 eggs.

you could even do another where you rotate in red meat if you liked or do chicken thighs in place of the salmon.

i try and focus on staying below 1800 cals and hitting 200g protein. after that i dont give a shite how it works out, just something that is filling or fills a craving.

Yea man, you are very knowledgeable!

Man frick that class. Almost made me switch from biology

I don’t understand this shite. Why people would openly put a shot that fricks with your body instead of just having some fricking will power and work ethic is beyond me. I’m not talking about the people that are morbidly obese and are going to die without it. I’m talking about the soccer mom who’s pudgy and doesn’t want to put in the work. I can just see the commercials for the class action lawsuits in the next five years.
