@fitcapbiohacker I just got my insurance situation figured out today. $23 for 90 5mg pills. LFG!

Bros, if you're not on low-dose Tadalafil (Cialis), you're sleeping on one of the biggest men's health upgrades available. This isn't just an ED pill - it's a full-system vascular optimizer. Here's why it's a game-changer: 1. Bedroom God Mode Rock-hard, reliable erections on demand. Daily low-dose means total spontaneity with no timing stress. Lasts up to 36 hours so one pill keeps you ready all weekend. Confidence through the roof - your partner will notice. 2. Gym and Muscle Gains on Steroids (Without the Sides) Insane muscle pumps from better nitric oxide and blood flow. Veins popping, muscles looking fuller mid-workout. Enhanced endurance and oxygen delivery helps you push harder with longer sets and faster recovery. Daily low-dose supports better lean mass gains through improved endothelial function and insulin sensitivity. It's a secret pre-workout weapon. 3. Heart, Prostate and Longevity Stack Improves blood flow everywhere with potential lower cardiovascular risk. Relaxes prostate muscles for easier flows and less BPH issues. Taking 2.5-5mg daily keeps levels steady for ongoing vascular health benefits. Pro tip: Most guys crush it on 5mg daily. Feels natural with minimal sides for most (a headache or back pump at first is common but fades). This is a prescription medication. Talk to a doctor, get bloodwork, and rule out contraindications (especially nitrates or serious heart issues). Don't buy sketchy online stuff. Level up your circulation, performance, and life. Tadalafil isn't cheating - it's smart optimization. Stay hard.

@edgaralandough Just a peak 👀

@HormoneForge Why not both

Happy to report the fridge and freezer fully stocked! 🫡 Meat porn beats peptide porn 100x.

@_9th_Life_ A peptide is like a prescription drug, except it works.

What is a peptide? Explain it like you would to someone that has truly no idea

@TheFitFather_ Very cool. LFG!

@HormoneForge Cool profile pic bro. Bro… bro ?! Omfg - you are truly my brother!!!! 😂😎

Started Reta in April at 2mg. Added 2mg every four weeks. Have been at 6mg for a while. I think it's all about the body getting used to things. RHR went up 5-7 BPM for two months. Now back down below 60 BPM. Oh yeah and I dropped 25 lbs along the way. Very happy with Reta.

@LordHbo @vmaughan3 @J_Schwanee The first reading was at least 4% off and the second reading was 8% off. I'm not jumping to anything. I've seen enough to show me it's not worth tracking, even for free. I doubt it will suddenly be 1% off my third try.

@vmaughan3 @HormoneForge @J_Schwanee Same experience Vince. He’s literally only done it twice and jumping to conclusions it doesn’t work when a number of factors could cause a one time misread. I wouldn’t be surprised if the goofball was wearing socks

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.

@vmaughan3 @J_Schwanee If you know the InBody is off by a consistent amount it would be a great tool. I'm hoping to find some correlation between them myself. Right now InBody just seems random. lol

@HormoneForge @J_Schwanee I use inbody at my gym to track progress. What I have found (for me) is whatever number inbody is I add 4%. That is verified by multiple dexa scans. Inbody had me at 6.3% recently and deca had me at 10.1

@LordHbo @J_Schwanee I've done the InBody twice and DEXA once. I don't think i should bother with the InBody ever again. InBody Scans: Jan 26th: 17.9% May 5th: 11.5% DEXA Scans: May 9th: 19.7%

@HormoneForge @J_Schwanee Have you done inbody regularly or just as a one time thing

@glendamos It was interesting. I had some nerve stuff going on. Tingling and false pain in my legs. Splitting the dose up helped a lot.

@HormoneForge Starting at 2mg must have been rough for those first couple of weeks

I've decided to use sterile water on a case by case basis. 10mg BPC-157? It's going to get stabbed like 40 times over a few weeks. Definitely using BAC water. 10mg Tesamorelin? going to get stabbed 5x in a week, then thrown away. It's getting sterile water. BAC is too expensive at this point and often not really needed. There is a time and place for everything.

I bet we are about to see an influx of home brew BAC water tutorials haha

@rorynotsorry $LLY saving lives! It's so amazing to see medicine shifting from treating symptoms to curing disease.

Eli Lilly with the win! Now get it FDA approved guys (and lower the price)

@irvinnofficial My HRV just started recovering this past week. I seem to be pretty stable at this dose. Doing 3mg 2x per week. 6mg total. Split dosing helped a lot.

@HormoneForge Yes, cardio 3x a week in the am and weight training 4x a week. my HRV did go down but only slightly, though, it was already on a downtrend. I’m basing everything on 30 day timeline

@Jeffheffer616 Just takes time to level out

@HormoneForge That’s good. At 4 mg and my rhr has gone up so I’m hoping it goes back down a bit

@jeremystandifor Don't have to increase the dose if you don't want to. Keep it up!

@HormoneForge It's crazy how different people respond to it. I have been cruising at 1.5 mg and still losing 1.5 lbs/week. I'm terrified of even 4 mg. Heart rate has gone down though, so that's good, I think.

@FowardAssist I have no issues when people call me a cheater for using Reta. If you aren't willing to cheat, do you even care?

These people acting like it’s cheating to take Retatrutide are crazy… I’ll literally buy you a bottle to change your life.

Being fat is a choice in 2026. GLPs are the no effort needed option. Even TRT works great with very little effort. Add in just 2 days of moderate weight training with a GLP or TRT and 90 days later they will be unrecognisable. Add in more training days and the results are exponential. The accessibility to no/low effort weight loss easier than ever. 10 minutes with an Amazon chat bot and you can have oral GLP1 delivered same day.

The body positivity movement is dead. Get lean or get made fun of you have zero excuse now. Glps have made it so you litteraly dont have to move a muscle and can still drop massive amounts of weight. If this makes you upset then it sounds like you've got work to do.

@irvinnofficial Very interesting. Seems to be a huge variation from person to person. Do you do cardio? I don't do any dedicated cardio, but I do sauna 30 mins 5x per week and my pulse gets up to 170 bpm. My guess is people with trained hearts don't see the same RHR spike other do.

@HormoneForge My RHR has actually gone down

@castledmallard I found splitting the dose 2x during the week helped with all the side effects.

@HormoneForge It goes down eventually? Thank God lmao I hate feeling like my chest is pounding when I'm trying to go to sleep. Lol

@cknotty91 I was totally blown away. I think this is an older model too. It's at the local State University. $70 per scan. Can't beat it.

@HormoneForge Thats insane the depth of those scans. The information 🤯
