week 56 check-in — 26kg down, fatigue manageable, one thing confusing me
Something I noticed reading old threads that I have not seen said out loud.
The advice on interval stretching in this community changed substantially around the start of last year, and nobody went back and updated the older posts. So depending on which thread the search engine hands you, you get two contradictory answers with the same confidence.
I have listed what I think the current consensus is below. Correct me — that is the point of posting it.
best — the order this archive was captured in
Not convinced. The evidence does not support that reading.
cite the discontinuation data rather than guessing regain rates
Disagree. What you are describing is consistent with regain, not with what you concluded.
Yeah, regain is not a failure.
say how long you were on and at what dose before taper
What are you comparing it against though?
Flair changed to match the content. Read the sidebar before posting next time and we are square.
the people who came off and restarted without shame
Yeah, regain is not a failure.
the 21 week discontinuation arm is the data
no shaming people who restart
interval stretching versus dose reduction
That is net peptide content, not purity. Different number, different meaning.
Strongly agree. The regain is expected.
Rodent data is rodent data. Dose scaling is not linear and the models tell you what to investigate, not what to expect.
coming off deliberately, not by accident
Water content matters more than people think. If a vial is carrying residual moisture, your "10mg" is not 10mg of peptide.
the regain is treatment of chronic condition ending, not failure
Strongly agree. The regain is expected.
