@schober222 Why not just take heme iron, like ProFerrin, daily with Lactoferrin? Skip the hepcidin issue.

Here’s why

@DeanTTraining So eating same amount of calories as you do in intermittent fasting but spreading it out is the way to go?
English
If you want to lose weight…intermittent fasting is a tool that CAN help you get there
If you want to lose weight and maintain as much muscle as possible on the way down…you should absolutely STEER CLEAR of intermittent fasting
Nothing about fasting is muscle sparing
NOTHING

@DeanTTraining He lost muscle doing it that way too

@BowTiedHRT Depends on where I pin SQ. No issue in abs or love handles. Tried above the knee, good god.

Pleased to report that I now have zero issue pinning GHK-copper sub q.
Stuff used to leave welts and bruises so I switched to IM for a few years.
Accidentally pinned a bunch sub q the other day and nada. Was expecting the bruise but nope. All is good.
5mg ed now sub q.

@AntiDoc @jamiehickey88 I met with you recently and decided to try EOD to start. Doing 6IU EOD for the next month and then adding in Tesa/IPA on alt days.

@jamiehickey88 I’m with you for now. I had too many of my guys ask about it so only one way to find out.

@DeanTTraining Laying this way with a low pulley cable and cuffs? Best ever?

Dudes will be in the gym pulling the GOOFIEST stunts and they don’t even know why they’re doing it
If you’re going to manipulate your body position on a Dumbbell Lateral Raise…this is how you should be manipulating it!
THIS creates the most favorable resistance profile!!!

I want you all to understand why this graphic is dead wrong. If you lean away from the rack you are actually REDUCING the tension on your delts at the BOTTOM of the movement. You want to lean toward the rack not away from the rack to increase tension at the bottom.

@tonymission No idea where you’re getting the 500-700 kcal extra burn from. That’s just not true. It’s realistically in the 100-200 range.
English
People coming from Tirz to Reta need to understand that the appetite suppression is not nearly as strong on Reta. It's estimated to be 20% that of Tirz. The deficit largely comes from increased BMR so in theory you're even eating the same amount but burning an extra 500-700kcal per day.
If you expect Reta to be like Tirz + one Glucagon receptor you're going to be severely disappointed. It takes a real mindset switch for Tirz users to stop chasing this zero-appetite feeling and understand that fueling the metabolism with good food is part of sustained weight loss and muscle retention.
Hunger isn't a problem in need of a solution, it's a solution to your problem.

@DeanTTraining Do these backwards on my preacher bench. Lay back onto it a bit, shoving my triceps into it. Then knock them out.

Would you guys like to see what a set of Hammer Curls with IMPECCABLE technique looks like???
If yes, HERE IT IS
Reminder:
The Upper Arm Support will do an EXCELLENT job of helping you minimize cheating which will ultimately maximize the effectiveness of the exercise
Zachary@zachary135791
And here’s another great hammer curl variation Keep your shoulder and elbow as still as possible I like to imagine I’m initiating the rep by flexing my bicep, and my hand is just along for the ride How do you know how high to come up? Once you feel the tension drop off at the top, you are good to go back down Lower under control, but no need to go excessively slow Try to be forceful on the way up (without losing control) but the set should be so difficult that your speed naturally slows down at the end Don’t move your head / neck, like I did 😅

Seated leg curls vs lying leg curls (lying ham video)
To be honest I do both on different days/rotations.
Seated will bias the lengthened range.
Lying will bias the shortened range.
Both can offer specific benefits depending on “feel” and the actual model/machine you have available.
Leg day A = Seated leg curls
Leg day B = Lying leg curls
Leg day C = Single leg seated leg curls
Trial them out for yourself.
Take what fits…leave what doesn’t.
Welcome to bodybuilding training.

@raptorffsc I usually assess based on visuals but it sounds to me like you’re definitely lean enough to bulk
You shouldn’t trust the scan in the sense that you believe it to be 100% accurate
But it is ballpark accurate…that is the point of the original post
English
The # 1 reason most people should get a DEXA scan is because their results will usher them into reality
Guys are out here at 5’ 10” 200 lbs doing 0 resistance training thinking
“I’ve got about 15-20 lbs to lose”
No, buddy…you’ve got 50!
And a DEXA will be sure to tell you!

@DeanTTraining I’ve had 3 in the last 9 months that have me between 11.3 and 9.1% BF but can’t seem to drop a pocket of fat on my lower stomach. Upper abs and obliques coming in but not lower. Should I just believe the scan, stop trying to cut and start a bulk or keep dying on this cut hill?
English
@raptorffsc Must be thinking of the wrong person
They’re not 100% accurate but they’re good enough to tell you if you’ve got 50 lbs to lose or 15

I don’t think BPC-157 injection site placement matters all that much.
It’s a systemic peptide, and we simply don’t have the data to say that injecting closer to an injury does anything more than injecting somewhere else on the body.
That said, if I’ve injured something, I still try to inject as close to the insult as possible.
With an ankle for example, I’m going for the skin around the calf, or wherever I can get close without contorting myself into a pretzel.
A clothespin works surprisingly well for this. Pinch the skin with it and inject without the weird maneuvering.

@DeanTTraining Been using these a lot lately. An entire bag is about 400 calories and about 1.75 pounds. So good!

@barbarianfitco Got my first ever order from you a few days ago and the handwritten note in there was amazing. It’s super cool to see great companies, with great products run by amazing people. It may have been my first order but it most definitely isn’t my last.
