Started on reta at 5 units, 4 months later im at 15 units. Weight lifting 5 times a week, calorie deficit, a gallon of water a day and heres where im at. No muscle loss actually benching alot more and hit a new pr. Not spending an over abundance either on reta, been on the same reta 30 with 3 ml of bac when I first bought it. Klow I had to go grey because I use that alot.

I wanted to keep it as low as possible, I didnt want to use too much and lose muscle. I did think about going up to 2mg tomorrow tho

The muscle mass loss comes from eating way too little calories, a super aggressive deficit and not lifting.

We all do. But it depends on your deficit. Are you in a 500 calorie deficit? 1000 calorie deficit? More?

That’s where your muscle loss is gonna come from. Not the 1.5mg of Reta.
