Working on further hair-loss and regrowth. Probably started wrong but this is the full stack for 30 days now. Redlight and AHK-CU were the beginning. Monthly monitoring of Labs. How does this stack?

There's no solid human data on long-term cessation. The biggest risk isn't a crash — it's losing the compounding gains silently and slowly without noticing because the decline is gradual. I use it to compound with Reta on weight management, so as long as a GLP is involved you should be ok weight wise, but lose the compounding effect.

@eliterecomp Silly question, what are the effects when you stop taking it

MOTS-c doesn't get nearly enough attention. Mitochondrial peptide. 3mg Mon–Fri. 6 months running it alongside SS-31 and NAD+. The compounding effect across those three pathways is real — not theory, living it.... Most doctors haven't heard of it. This community is years ahead. 🤷

@J_Schwanee 100 lbs down is massive — congrats!! Loose skin is a real trade-off but I'll take that deal every single time. 💪

@eliterecomp That’s what I was curious about. I’ve lost over 100 pounds now so I have some loose skin for sure

The scale says I’m 22%. I wouldn’t necessarily say I’m fat, big, but not fat. Also curious how accurate these digital scales are though I have some abs starting to come through but still have a ways to go.

@TheJeffAdcock @enhancedguides Yep — 100mg M–F, subQ (NAD+). Wife just started today at 50mg with plans to do 75mg in 3 days and then 100mg by day 7.

@eliterecomp @enhancedguides Run this too but not that high in nad. You doing 100mg daily m-f?

While it does tank both things, I think the benefits far out weigh the elevated state, It's like it turned on the fat afterburners and keeps your body at a higher RPM to help burn that fat. Will ultimately cycle off Reta and move to Tirz or Cagi sometime this summer.

HRV Data -

🧵Retatrutide tradeoff nobody talks about: RHR never fully settles. Mine hasn't. HRV took a hit. I accepted it — the recomp results are real. But I'm not pretending it doesn't happen either. Anyone actually tracking this long term?⤵️

@mythoughtfood im not sure about posture! I've tried to self correct for years and just can't seem to get it right. back an neck pay for it.

Your physical strength and posture are two of the most malleable qualities about you.

Exactly — the algorithms matter as much as the method. I'm not using Hume as truth, I'm using it as a consistent trend tool. Same device, same conditions, week over week. That's all I need from it. I did have a BodPod air displacement plethysmography test done a few years ago too, it seems pretty on point. Interesting field of research!

I have been curious about these, my undergrad is in Kinesiology. We did a ton of body mass analysis. At the time Hydrostatic was the gold standard, followed by pinching and then everything else. Resistance measuring like Hume was considered 3rd best. All of the algorithms at the time were based off of the data collected by the government during WW2. I would be curious to see what science the underlying math is based on now..

Blew past my goal weight this morning. 172 lbs and still recomping. 📉 Hume Body Pod scale isn't DEXA accurate — but the trends don't lie. Week over week it's been directionally spot on. Real data beats guessing every time. Pics in thread 👇

@XLR8009 7mg weekly. Thursday inject. Been there a while now — dialed in.

@eliterecomp How much reta u using?

11.4% body fat. 156.8 lbs lean mass. Apr DEXA. Still on Reta + TRT. The 'GLP-1 eats muscle' crowd hasn't met a dialed-in protocol. Muscle doesn't disappear when you train, stack right, and actually track the data. 🤷 My DEXA doesn't care about your theory.

@n1after40 @bevel_health Ha, respect the build 😂 Give OptiPin a shot — you'll know in 5 min if it's what you need.

@eliterecomp @bevel_health I have been vibe coding something 😊 and using it for a couple of weeks now. But I will take a look at OptiPin. If it has the basics I need I'm game. Thanks for sharing.

If your HRV is tanking and your RHR won't budge, you don't have a training problem. You have a sleep problem. Apple Watch sleep data along with @bevel_health app will show you exactly where you're bleeding recovery. Most people just aren't looking. 👀

@SavvySwings Spendy but it earns its place. Run MOTS-c first — it's cheaper and the energy piece is real. Add SS-31 when you're ready to go deeper on the mito side.. You do have to go high dose on SS31, like 5mg

@eliterecomp Yeah lot’s of talk about Mots-c. SS-31 is a little spendy though.

@dht1k SMH, go back to reddit and judge BF, GTFO. DXA is not perfect but it's pretty much the standard in BF determination. not going to debate this one

@eliterecomp According to your PFP you’re 20% brother

@Mardayte Appreciate it — DEXA isn't perfect, nothing is. But it's the best trending tool I've got. And a year isn't rapid 😂

@eliterecomp The more rapid your weight loss is the more muscle you will loose, that's just fact Also DEXA isn't accurate, it doesn't mean for sure you have 157 lean mass(it includes organs and bones not just muscle) although you're athletic

@Adityalch 100% im following ya.. Trend tool, not a truth tool. Good math. Weight may be the only real "trend able" item from Hume.. and trust me, I am NO fanboy of Hume at all.

No. Say a measurement claims to be within 4% accuracy of DXA on bodyfat. Manufacturers want you to think if DXA claims you are at 18% BF, the BF they predict is 0.96-1.04*18, which is between 17.28-18.72%. In reality, it means that their body fat % is between 14-22%. If a test is consistently inconsistent, the per-test offset for your specific body would consistently be X percent off of DXA. E.g. if you are actually 18% BF, but the Hume consistently, with every test, estimates you are 3% lower, then you will test at 15%, and as you go down in weight trends become useful because you go from 15 to 14 to 13 etc. and the trends make sense. That's would be nice but that's not how this works. These scales are inconsistently inconsistent. Which means if you are actually at 18%, one day you could test 22%, one day 15%, another day 17% etc. The trends only become useful once you've completely escaped the band of error. In the case of starting at 18% BF via DXA, the Hume confidently predicts BF loss once it outputs a number below 14%. Every other measurement is noise. It's nice to think you can scatter plot all of your individual measurements and draw a trendline to hint at fat loss. I'd encourage you to do it and see what you find. I have. Hint: it doesn't work.

@Rec1pr0city I did run it that way a few months ago, my on cycle just didn't switch off yet, don't want to lose the energy feelings I get

SS-31 then mots-c. The former repairs mitochondria from the inside. The latter cranks up performance. You can't run either non stop anyway, so 8 weeks on 8 weeks off and just alternate. I still have no clue if NAD+ interjections work. But 5-amino-mq1 works on the NAD salvage pathway. Methylene blue can also be combined for a boost.

@n1after40 @bevel_health I think peptide/compound tracking is too niche for them. OptiPin fills that gap for me on the pep/trt tracking. Does a great job

@eliterecomp @bevel_health @bevel_health is my go to. I wish they had supplement, peptide tracking. Journal is not cutting it to monitor correlation.

Lol, I wouldn't go that far! It has its challenges, I've posted all over the place about that (Facebook/reddit). It's an internet hyped product. But.. it is still a good tool in its own world. Does it replace a DexaScan, NO. Is it close to dexa, depends on body type, it's actually close for me now as I've leaned out. Use the tool for tracking/trending and motivational support.

@eliterecomp Best scale 🔥🔥
