I really don’t miss training in a gym like that. The best thing I ever did was move to a meat head gym.
Great work on the incline BB press by the way

Can you comment on the qty/price/dosage?

Depends greatly on where you get it from, but I had it quoted from Defy Medical (prescribed) at around $250 for a 1mg vial which would last no more than a month (.25mg/wk minimum dose). Dosage can titrate up to 2mg/wk so you’re welcome to do the painful math of that one lol.
Found a couple different sources, one had quite a few reviews, purchases and I think even a Jano panel done on their stuff - they charged about $200 for 5mg of the stuff.
Unsure what my dosage will end up being, but I’ll probably start with .25mg/wk and see where that gets me.

I found a source that has 2mg vials for $120 each or better pricing if you purchase more. Still would be expensive though. Thought about trying it toward the end of my prep when the food is low and hungry AF!!
When are you starting to use it? Would love some feedback before making a decision to order or not.

It shows up in the mail today so probably today lol. Guess we’ll see what pans out as I do some more reading/research.
1/6/23 - Jordan Peters Full Body B2
Weight: 216.7lb
Recovery: 65% (8h 59m slept, whaat?)
- Thought i was going to pop a blood vessel on leg press.
- Finished DB Raises and Hammer Curls at home.
Pinned .25mg Semaglutide yesterday and am happily noticing no PIP after L-Carnitine injections. Hunger is much reduced already.

By having a day off and blasting through a small school workload this week.
I already know the gods will punish me for getting so many hours of sleep, just not sure how it will happen yet. Needless to say, I’ve avoided standing under dangling pianos today.

1/8/23 - Rest (unwanted)
No childcare at the gym, no overtime, no reason to drive out to the gym today so i didn’t, despite wanting to.
Went off diet yesterday and was still having some obvious hunger when it shouldn’t have been warranted (like right after eating) so i pinned another .25mg Semaglutide. Will continue with .25mg E3.5D unless needing to increase… it was hasty but needed.

1/9/23 - Jordan Peters Full Body A1 (just upper)
Weight: 216.2lb
Recovery: 47% (5h 18m slept)
Woke up early so I tried to finish out a gym session… need about an hour regardless of wait time apparently, so i couldn’t finish. At least i got a chance to flex on the morning plebs.
- Gonna need heavier DBs here in a few weeks, gym tops out at 120lbs i think.
- Forgot how much better training was when using L-Carnitine… enjoying this new brand where the PIP doesnt feel like being kicked by a horse.
Was listening to another RP Mike Israetel video on training natty vs enhanced, and he’s selling me on his training system without needing to. Never really did any pre-exhaust before, but i think it’s worth giving a scholar try at some point. Going to finish out JPs FB and PPL split first though.
Update:
Legs portion of above (highlighted)
+12mins Hyperbed Tanning
- Got tired of arguing with Squats so i swapped in Hack Squats; fight me.
- Didn’t have time for cardio and tanning, so obviously tanning won that dispute.
Thinking about adding in some more protein and fats while reducing carbs even more.

1/11/23 - Jordan Peters Full Body B1
Weight: 214.0lb
Recovery: 79% (5h 25m slept)
+8mins sauna (was aiming for 15 but i started getting light headed… took that as a sign im done)
- Weights went up across the board.
- Started getting tired today and moreso during training. Likely the Semaglutide and deficit taking their toll.
- I’m still barely hungry, even when sitting at a 1200-1500cal daily deficit. Sema has a 10/10 from me so far.
Considering changing my goal weight to be more like 195 or something. I’ve been chunky for so long im concerned the rebound weight is going to show up in force. Guess we’ll see how successful i am; the rate I’m cutting at should lead to 2.5-3lbs/wk. Cut duration is currently planned for 11 more weeks.

Week in Review:
Weight Avg.: 212.8lb
Weight Lost (from last week’s avg): 2.4lb
Sleep quality is worse than usual, hunger is non-existent, libido is there but diminished a bit (not necessarily a bad thing). Still running Semaglutide at .5mg/wk split dose E3.5D. I’m TIRED.
Abs are coming in for sure, will post a progress pic in Feb I think. Have been considering changing end-goal of the cut to be more like 195lb or maybe even 190… purpose is to hit an honest 10% BF so I can stay between 10-15%BF year round and better utilize nutrients. Never too fat to cut, never so lean I lose muscle - that is the goal.
I’m bad at logging macros on the weekends because that’s when I eat my non-meal prep foods… maybe I’ll just treat this as a food log on the weekends and just summarize what I ate.

Was going to train but I was so tired i just couldn’t. Unsure if recovering from 3 hours sleep a couple nights ago, or if it’s the Semaglutide, or the deficit… Chances are it’s all 3.
