Hi Maasoud, hope you’ve been doing well bro!
No problem at all — I’ll upload some pics later today.
Since my last log when I was running the DHB and test, not much has changed in physique, thankfully!

Hello.
You don't need to create a new cycle log.
Use the one you already have, update when necessary
I will merge everything and change the title for you this time

Update
Day 2 / Week 1
Weight:89 kg in the morning
Compounds:
- TRT: 150 mg Test E / week
- IGF-1 LR3: 20 mcg daily (Day 2)
- Retatrutide: first 2 mg injection yesterday
Push day – Creeping Death 2, week 4
Good focus and solid pump, joints felt fine.
Cardio:
25 min LISS post-workout
Diet:
~2,700 kcal (around maintenance)
Observations / Notes:
- Got some redness on the skin around the IGF-1 injection site, but nothing serious. My skin is pretty sensitive anyway, so it could just be that.
- I noticed I wasn’t as hungry during the day — probably just placebo at this point, but we’ll see how it goes.
- No other noticeable effects yet. Still to early.
- Overall feeling fine, energy stable.

Hi Davy!why are you using Reta if you're at a maintainance calorie diet?
also i would like to know your goals since im new in this log
I’m mainly using Retatrutide to test its effect on metabolism, insulin sensitivity, and nutrient partitioning, not just for appetite control or fat loss.
Even though I’m around maintenance calories, my goal right now is a lean recomposition phase — keeping body fat stable or slightly lower while improving overall metabolic health before the next bulk.
I also want to gain first-hand experience with these compounds, to understand how they respond on my own body, in case I decide to include them in the next cycle.
I want to see if Retatrutide (together with IGF-1 LR3) can help improve glucose handling, fat oxidation, and recovery while on a low-androgen setup (just TRT).
Basically, this phase is about data, experience, and preparation for the next cycle.
Hope that makes sense
For an experiment it makes perfect sense.Hi Davy!

No hormonal variation so every data you collect will be related to retatrutide/igf1
Try to have an experience without the mix of the two (by removing igf1)
