Hi. I’m new here. I’ve never used AAS,& I don’t plan to until I’m 25 so this thread is about peptides.
What’s your take on them?
I’m 18 years old; A younger & less experienced lifter currently on Jason Blaha’s novice 5x5. My main lifts are around the intermediate benchmark on strstd.com. I went from 312-205lbs standing at 6’2. I have about 21-25 pounds of fat until 10% bf, which is when I will start my first bulk. I’ve got my diet in order, no medical conditions, & the excess cash to buy the supplies. I’m still under my parents’ roof and they are fine with me pinning myself 6 times a day with peptides.
People say peptides are good for cutting and that they have ‘collagen enhancing properties’ that could help with my lab rat’s loose skin on my abdomen and arms possibly – but it’s not that loose. And of course, maybe I will put on some mass or add some weight to my stalling lifts.
I realize peptides are a fraction of what AAS can do, but I’m not looking for massive gains on a cut. If it will aid in muscle preservation/gain on a cut, fat loss, and tightening loose skin, then it sounds perfect for me at almost any rate of progress the peptides will bring.
The cost of everything is $350 give or take. It would be about $100 more to put the MOD GRF 1-29 at 100mcg 3x ED up from 50mcg 3x ED. Money isn’t a big issue.
-First(and possibly only) cycle to assess the effectiveness-
Weeks 1-8 GHRP2: 100mcg 3x ED
MOD GRF 1-29 (GHRH): 50mcg 3x ED
Dosing scheme: Morning/Post-WO/Bed
Pros:
Legal
No PCT
Will not shut down hpta or natural testosterone
Enhances collagen synthesis
Extremely cheap compared to loose skin surgery ($30,000+)
Cons:
Relatively expensive to AAS(which I was looking into, then decided not to)
Relatively weak to AAS
Correct me if I’m wrong, but peptides don’t bring up any substantial risks like AAS do – especially for young people.
Thanks for any (possible) answers and advice.
