No issues with the belt. I do apply some lubricant every few weeks. Only issue is that you control it with a remote, and sometimes you have to click it a couple times before it gets going, but that’s minor.

I bought a TREAFLOW on Amazon a couple of years ago. It goes up to 4 mph and has something like a 6% incline. It was around $100 and works just fine.
A family member has one. The cocktails are ok. Certainly not as good as something that you can make yourself.

Winemaking is about the viticulture moreso than the process, am i right?
Its kind of like cooking. Brewing beer is like preparing a nice home cooked meal where you have control over the ingredients and process. Home wine making is like making boxed mac n cheese.

I was reading you want to ferment between 65-75
From what I remember, this is right. I seem to remember fermentation being similar to ale fermentation temps.
I've done a few kits. Four reds, one white and one rose. The rose was the best, drinkable in about 6 months. The white, a chardonnay, was fine, but it didn't have the buttery character that I would have liked because of the lack of malolactic fermentation.
The reds, honestly, were just ok. The more expensive kits ($180+) were better, but none of the 4 were good. I aged them up to 3 years, and they were just ok. If I do another wine kit, it will be a white.
You have to keep in mind that the grape juice that you get in these kits is not coming from good wine regions, so you as a "wine maker" have no control over the viticulture part of the wine making process.
With all that said, I think it is worth doing at least once.
Not much of your homebrew equipment will carry over. Your hydrometer, air locks, and auto-siphon are about it. Your standard 5-6 gallon carboy will be too small. You will need a 7 gallon fermentation bucket since the kits make 6 gallons of wine. You will yield 28-30 bottles.
Also, if you think you might want to make more than one batch, get a floor corker. The hand corkers suck.

So are all the Reta suppliers being shut down or what?
Nexaph has a 24mg Reta pre-sale starting tomorrow. They have it listed as NXP-3P. You will need to make an account to access the pre-sale. No price yet, but I would expect a kit to run around $300-350, so $30-35 per vial.
I ordered a 30 mg kit of tirzepatide during a pre-sale in February for $195. Third party testing showed the average mass to be 36 mg per vial, so in the end, it was 54 cents per milligram. Hard to beat these prices other than ordering straight from China. Also, the jano testing showed low endotoxins and clean sterility with purity above 99%.

What were your starting total T and free T numbers when they prescribed?
Total is 409 ng/dL and free is 66.4 pg/mL.

They also prescribed 12.5 mg of Enclomiphene Citrate taken MWF
What was the reason for this?
I forgot exactly what he said, but it had something to do with trying to preserve some testicular function. However, I think I was just upsold.
re: Need Info on TRT

Finally booked an appointment with an online TRT clinic. I went with Nuform Health because there pricing was good and they have great reviews on Trustpilot. They are prescribing test cyp 200mg/week split into two shots. They also prescribed 12.5 mg of Enclomiphene Citrate taken MWF and Anastrozole at 0.5 mg twice per week. Dr said that he was adding the Anastrozole because my labs showed that my estradiol is at 37 pg/mL and that it may double once I am on the TRT. After reading this thread, it seems as though I should avoid taking this unless I am having certain symptoms?
Dr said that the goal is to get my total T into the 1000-1200 range. He asked me if I wanted the moderate or aggressive approach, which was 160mg and 200mg, respectively. Is 200mg/week a high starting dose? It seems that most start at 100-150mg.

Force USA
I bought the Force USA G12 and could not be happier with it. It was a "buy once, cry once" purchase, but my wife and I love the machine. We added a set of plate weights and the bench with preacher curl pad and leg developer. The plates are fine, but I would not recommend the bench. It is pretty big and heavy. It has wheels but my wife still struggles to move it around.

GHK-Cu - this won't help with hair color, but will help with fuller hair. Takes several months to see results. You should see skin tightening in 6-8 weeks.
Ipamorelin will also help with skin tightening.
If you are trying to get rid of wrinkles, you could try snap 8, but I haven't experimented with that one yet.

Looks like BBA went down, and QSC stock is low. What are yall using lately
For peptides, I've been using Nexaph. Other than buying straight from China, they have the best prices that I have seen. They also have a great 3rd party testing community on Telegram.

Does anyone have a recommendation for a PPSA program that has more of a chest and back emphasis?

have the ability to look up meals if I eat out
ChatGPT is great for this. Take a picture of your meal and upload it to ChatGPT with a written description. It will give you an estimate good enough for calorie/macro tracking. I usually just copy the dish description off of the menu and paste it into ChatGPT. I have been doing this for months and it works great.
Here is an example from a recent meal.

Wanted to see if cjc is a better value over tesa
I ran a cjc/ipa blend for 8 weeks last year and had great sleep and recovery while on it. I was taking 250 mcg each on a 5/2 schedule.
I ran tesa/ipa for 12 weeks to start the year. I was at 2mg tesa and 300 mcg ipa, also on a 5/2 schedule. Sleep was not as good, but I think that the reta was affecting sleep. Recovery was still great.
I had IGF1 levels tested before and after. My level went up 73 points to 291 ng/mL, which is toward the upper end for my age.
No pics, but currently enjoying an Oliva Melanio and some aged rum. Feels perfect right now in New Orleans at 72 degrees with a nice breeze.

I’m the same way. When doing heavy squats, I always feel my right side taking over.
re: My experience with Retatrutide
Posted by Bleed P&G on 3/18/26 at 12:52 pm to Ronaldo Burgundiaz
There are tons of places where you can buy single vials. But most places don't list the product as retatrutitide. They will label it as XXX-3P, GLP-3RT, R30, RT24, etc. where the number is the mg per vial. Just need to be creative with your google search.
Also, going this route is going to be much more expensive.

Use AI
Some guy made a GPT for peptides. I have used it a few times and it seems to work well. Not sure if it gives any different information than any of the other AIs.
PeptideGPT
If you are really putting in the work that you say, the GLP is going to help get you over the hump. As mentioned, keep protein high and continue working out. You’ll see the pounds fall off.

do 500/1000mcg before bed
Can you share where this dosage is recommended? I've only ever seen Ipa dosage as high as 300mcg daily.
