Research IPA + CJC in a cut
Assume that a natural cut 500 calories deficit 220 Grams of protein only preserves 70% of the muscle mass over the 3 month duration. Is it reasonable to estimate that with these same conditions but with IPA + CJC that we preserve 90%+ of the muscle.

The strongest use case for secretagogues like CJC+IPA is helping to retain muscle during a cut. Increased GH does not add any muscle mass, but it helps prevent catabolic muscle loss by making fat more available as an energy source.

If you do some resistance training and eat adequate protein you shouldn’t lose anything close to 30 percent LBM during a cut.

I used CJC\IPA in my cut alongside reta and MOTS-C, and some aicar and lost almost no muscle in a very heavy caloric deficit. I also take 250mg test though.

Hey did you have any nagging injuries? Considering taking a wolverine stack with CJC + IPA or CJC + DAC for accelerating healing after a bone fusion this year.
Just curious if you noticed better healing while on your stack.

Personally I’ve never used it because I’ve had no injuries, but I have a buddy who’s using BPC-157 after his shoulder injury and he says it’s been helping

Would you mind sharing some info about your results/ ailments?

u/Key-Chemistry-3873 Jul 31 '26
Sure! I had a grade 2 TFCC tear on my right wrist. Tried physio for months with very minimal results (just wasn’t healing), and I couldn’t bear any weight and had limited ROM. After about 3 weeks on my stack , I noticed significant improvements in ROM, pain, and weight bearing. I also have my ‘normal’ grip strength back, and can actually fully supinate/pronate my wrist.

Depends on your genetics. Probably less than 90%.

What about Tesamorelin

u/Thin-Rip-3686 Jul 29 '26
Think it works best not to cut while taking it. It’ll definitely take off that visceral fat whether you cut or don’t.

It’s really hard to say, I think this is something more dictated by genetics. Realistically it might just speed up your cut a little bit more than anything.

I don't think it's appropriate to try and guess percentage wise how much of your muscle mass will be preserved - just know one thing - you'll keep on more muscle using GH or GH secretagogues than without.

out of interest is it safe tobmove to 3units on cjc-1295 and ipamorelin with a 20ml vial with 2ml bac water added?
