Only a few weeks into the cycle now so still very early days, but I’m starting to notice some really positive changes already. Strength is beginning to climb steadily without needing to force it, recovery between sessions feels noticeably faster, and training intensity has naturally increased...
Another solid week on Retatrutide and I’m definitely noticing the appetite control settling in nicely now. Hunger has stayed very manageable throughout the day and cravings are pretty much non-existent unless I purposely push food timing too far. Energy has been fairly stable overall, although...
Not the greatest week on my end, to be honest. I've been dealing with illness that's dragged on longer than expected, which has thrown both my training and nutrition off track. My kid came down with something too, so the household has been pretty chaotic and keeping any kind of schedule has been...
This is what I have cooked up a 3-week rotating periodization system designed to target all muscle fibre types, prevent injury, and ensure continuous progressive overload by varying rep ranges and training volume each week.
Week 1 — Heavy compound lifts, 6–10 reps, moderate volume, 90 sec rest...
Quick Reta update.
This past week has honestly been rough. I ended up getting even more sick since the last post which has definitely affected both training and eating. On top of that my son got sick as well, so the whole routine has been a bit all over the place lately.
I’ve also noticed with...
Update
Keeping it honest.
The week didn't go exactly as planned — I've been sick. Nothing serious but enough to take the edge off everything. Hit the sessions anyway, scaled back intensity where I had to, but kept the routine going. Consistency over perfection this week. That's the win.

Bit of an update after a rough week. Been pretty sick the last few days so training and recovery definitely took a hit, but despite that the weight is still trending down which I’m happy with. Appetite control on Reta continues to be solid and even with feeling off I’ve managed to stay fairly...
Starting a new log for my anabolics journey
Stats:
Current weight: 112kg
Height: 180cm
I’ve been logging on EF since March while running Reta check out my other thread for that update! and I’m down 20kg from my starting weight of 132kg. That alone has been a huge reset for me, both...
Back on track after a bit of a disrupted couple of weeks.
Had about two weeks off Reta thanks to the absolute disaster that is Australia Post, but interestingly, things haven’t gone backwards at all. Weight is still trending down, which I’m pretty happy about. Even more surprising the effects...
Back on board this week.
Honestly, the past week was probably the toughest so far with Orthodox Holy Week. Diet was heavily restricted — basically running on veggies, fruit, and bread, with no oils at all. Training was completely out too, which made it even harder mentally.
Weight fluctuated a...
Quick check-in—no fluff, just progress.
Started this run at 132kg, and as of this morning I’m sitting at 112kg. That’s a clean 20kg down in 8 weeks.
Breakdown:
First 5 weeks on Reta: 132kg to 120kg
Had to take a couple weeks off due to supply issues (held around 120kg)
Last 3 weeks back on...
Quick update this week keeping it short
Been a bit quiet on the training and diet front as I’ve been sick for the past 5days. Despite that, weight is still trending down which is a big positive.
Since increasing the Reta dose, it’s been working really well appetite is controlled.
Hoping to...
Quick update this week
bumped up the dose of Retatrutide and feeling it in a good way. Appetite is still well controlled, but energy feels a bit more stable compared to the lower dose, just cruising along and trusting the process.
Today was actually a nice switch up diet-wise. Being in the...
