Using reta to help me cut down excess body fat

[backpressure]

I'm probably around 9% or 10% body fat, estimated. I have some extra tire around my waist that I would like to get rid of. What is your opinion? I'm running 3 mg a week of reta for 6 months. Do you think that's good or should I lower the dose?

Everyone responds in their own individual way when it comes to the game changing retatrutide usage.

For me personally I could never handle above 2mg weekly and then pushed to 3mg with extra cardio post weights to stimulate appetite so i would still meet my caloric intake. Sub 5%

Its more of a question - what is your discipline like ?

Appetite suppression or food noise ?

Give it an increase mate. But also don't rely on it to physically trim the last of the stubborn fat. Ya gotta do the work.

As always start low and titrate up as required till you find your perfect dose

Without sounding like a dick, if you're genuinely sitting at 9% or even 10% body fat, I seriously doubt you've got a tyre sitting around your waist. I don't think people fully appreciate just how lean that actually is.

The second barrier here is reducing food intake further, which is where a glp could potentially assist with appetite management. But even that can only take you so far before you're pushing yourself into a state of significant depletion.

What's the actual goal here, brother? Give us some stats and ideally post a current physique photo with your face blurred out. I'm just trying to get my head around exactly what you're looking to achieve.

If you're genuinely sitting around 9% body fat and looking to push even lower, I'd be questioning the reasoning behind it unless you're chasing stage level conditioning for a competition.

At some point you're going to start compromising muscle retention, recovery and performance just to chase a lower number. And ultimately, for what?

I'd be far more interested in understanding your current composition and what you're actually trying to achieve before suggesting you push the deficit any further.

This is an amazing response and I hope op takes it as super constructive.

9℅ is already putting you in a position that isn't particularly a norm for every day life. Obviously common to say sit around 10-13% for most serious guys.

But we do often have guys taking wild guesses at their percentage and being far off the mark. Not by any means says OP is wrong. However a post of physique would truly benefit to get the best input to succeed.

brother! I think the majority misunderstand how lean it truely is and further on how much of a disadvantage metabolically staying that lean is.

Not to say there isnt outliers by any means but for the majority its applicable.

Not sure if I have said it yet brother but also welcome to EF, ill be sure to drop passed your vendors thread bro
