If you’d like to use credentials as a stamp of authority on truth (a false signal, but that’s a different conversation)
….then as a doctor of pharmacy with a degree in chemistry and certified gym bro level 4, I’m here to say HGH is definitely a peptide that fits your definition of stimulating physiology, like to produce IGF-1.
Is the distinction you’re looking for the ability to push to supraphysiologic levels?
English
Ok Gym Bros that suddenly have a PhD in physiology...
HGH is not a peptide. I repeat HGH is not a peptide.
Why?
Here's the difference:
Hormone = the product.
Peptide = the instruction.
HGH is the hormone.
CJC-1295 and ipamorelin are peptides that tell your pituitary to release more of your own HGH.
One replaces physiology.
The other stimulates physiology.
Huge difference.

@LetsRetireAt50 I have the strung out atom tattooed between my should blades
One of my faves!
I also am not a big rancid fan. Maybe like 2-3 songs.
But I do love some NUFAN!
English
Fair enough. I have a few bands like that too. In all honesty, Rancid except for a few songs never hit with me either even though saying this out loud is punk blasphemy. Strung Out is one of my favs, and anyone who loves them seems to also like No Use for a Name, but I couldn’t get into them either.
English
@LetsRetireAt50 I never got into zebra head
Sometimes a band just doesn’t connect with me even though they are talented.
I don’t have anything negative to say about them but they just didn’t do it for me
English
@LetsRetireAt50 I’m probably gonna do some pennywise too
Land of the free was my fave album so I’ll probably go with fuck authority for a cover
English
@LetsRetireAt50 What is crazy is that those were the 3 songs I was thinking of lol
Or maybe green corn

@AJA_Cortes @BowTiedHRT @bowtiedmeathead @BigDadEnergyX I can definitely see that being the case. Figure for most big X accounts, it’s damned if you do, damned if you don’t for pretty much every post.
English
@BowTiedHRT @LetsRetireAt50 @bowtiedmeathead @BigDadEnergyX It's always the off hand posts that you don't put any thought into that blow up

Had this same discussion recently.
The dude looks like Earthworm Jim and claims to have been directly mentored by Mountain Dog.
You see people like Cris Edmunds who LIVE by what Meadows taught, and then you have...AJAC.

I’m not going to argue with this stuff. Golf has always been looked at as the gentleman’s game; furthermore alot of lucrative deals are done on the green when no when is around. This seems to be a post that rage baits gym bros to fight back and argue that training like an animal is more than just a lower class label. Of course there are the outlier CEO bros that want to walk around looking jacked. The fact is alot of of your blue collar and 9-5 grinders fall heavily into the category and that’s okay. I’m a blue collar grinder myself. My thoughts are do what makes you feel fulfilled and passionate. Do anything besides talk like the tweet below to stoke pointless banter about class “codes”. AJAC needs to live by his past life and hit the weights strategically because from all the “mentoring” that is claimed to be had under John Meadows, I don’t see a lick of physical proof of concept. Do better

And for someone with significant followers who may make some living from that too has to be near impossible. I’m a comment and an occasional post kinda guy, mostly reading and learning from X, so I can’t really imagine how mush thought it would take to appeal to everyone (if that’s even possible).
English
People on Twitter will do their best to take a single comment or a single tweet by someone and subscribe an entire ethos to them.
That’s the low intelligence aspect that we see whether or not you’re a gym bro or a golfer or a sports guy or a finance guy.
Picking and choosing and getting your panties in a twist over someone’s single tweet where they failed to labor over the lens through which every single reader would take it is the low real low IQ behavior.

When a bodybuilder (hobby or pro) hears growth hormone(GH), they typically think "muscle growth and better sleep -> recovery"
I think, "induced insulin resistance (that is required and part of the above processes) and a better immune system"
Frees fatty acids for energy metabolism (increasing insulin resistance)
Spares glucose for more glucose/insulin dependent tissue
Spares amino acids for muscle anabolism
Increases innate and adaptive immune system while reducing autoimmune reactions
Like in bodybuilders, androgens involute the thymus (decreasing immunity), therefore GH should be added, not just as a side chick of anabolism, but as a health ancillary
And that's all before it's conversion to IGF-1
English
Yes and again I think he was coming from a matter of fact historical perspective and it’s not wrong, but I think there’s a growing trend (at least here on X so take that for the microcosm it is) of successful gym people brining their work and gym energy together. The jacked CEO, doc, lawyer, whatever has become a goal. I think the opposite has become truer where gym bros are learning more and now “more intelligent” than say golfers at what they need to do to be successful in the gym translating to work as well. I think it struck a nerve with those not seeing his previous posts and now coming across somewhat to the tune of hey gym bros are low intelligence but use my peptide code. Again, I’m not taking sides and it’s hard to read into posts, but I think again he could have worded it more thoughtfully.

As a father being in shape shouldn’t be impressive. It should be the standard
English
@gregmushen @drmikehart Absolutely. All the check out so and sos new physique for this movie is absolutely this and probably more. All the 50 year old guys acting in the epic films are on it for sure.

@drmikehart The ones that look good? I think it would be > 90%

I wonder how many celebrities take:
Testosterone
Tirzepatide
HGH

Man it’s Twitter. Lots of us post lots of content and if we get taken out of context or we don’t convey our message perfectly every time, I don’t think anybody should be getting their panties in a twist. We’re stronger than that.
I’m not arguing with you, but more importantly,, we can look at someone’s entire post history or even if we haven’t done so or haven’t followed them that long, we have a good idea of who and what they are so for us to twist something someone says in a way that doesn’t offer them the benefit of the doubt I think is unfair unless they have a history of being assholes on the platform, and then it’s a completely different story.

@HypertrophyHub @BowTiedHRT That’s what pissed me off the most too! He breaks an ankle… fair. But dude got up and sprinted for the next 30 minutes. Complete bs.
English
@BowTiedHRT The dude got up and played the rest of the game.
You roll around in agony like that you should be pulled for the rest of the game on principal alone

It’s a hard thing for me to accept.
I was raised, and believe most Americans were raised with the idea that you persevere in the face of adversity, and if you get hurt, you're supposed to shake it off and get back to the task at hand and win.
It's repugnant to my thinking that there's a sport that not only condones, but celebrates professional athletes faking being hurt for a competitive advantage.
It's not masculine or American-coded whatsoever. it’s not even feminine coded, it’s just gross. It’s bad sportsmanship at minimum.
To my mind, it’s cheating: It’s introducing falsity into the game.
Every time I turn on or end up seeing a soccer game being played, it's not very long before someone takes a minor spill or a minor contact with another player and pretends like they just got hit by a car.
The World Cup has been on the screens of my gym for weeks now and I swear I’ve seen 50 men writhing in agony
trying to get a penalty against another player and then they’re up and at it as soon as the ruling is made.
Amazing how getting your competition penalized can cure your catastrophic injury in seconds.

America will never fully accept soccer as a sport anybody cares about bc of stupid shit like this Diabolical levels of estrogen dominance showcased on the flop here
