🚨 Interesting secondary effect of GLP-1s: increased DIVORCE! It’s not the drug but the weight loss, since bariatric surgery pts report the same thing: “before surgery I was invisible, but now people notice me and I get attention from the opposite sex.” archive.ph/aKOxy

A high protein diet & GLPs will only unfat you. But if you want abs & definition like this, you need <5h/week of exercise: 1) LOW Intensity: walk 1,000 steps (10 min) 8X/day or every hour 2) MED Intensity: strength train 3-5x/week 3) HIGH Intensity: sprint/play a sport 1x/week

Everyone just wants to take a GLP to lose weight. Nobody wants to change their diet & exercise. If you want to look THIS good, Tirzepatide is just the rocket fuel. You must eat: - Majority of calories from protein - More fiber grams than fat grams - Strength train 3-5 days/week

That’s because Testosterone is not a peptide. High T makes you HIM.

Bros think 157 lb. is “victim weight,” and they only need to lose 10-20 lb. to see their abs. Well this guy is 5’10”, 157 lb., and looks JACKED. The moral is: You have way more body fat than you think. And you have way less muscle than you think. Test & Tirz fixes this.

HOW TO LOSE FAT W/O LOSING MUSCLE:💪 BASE: 225g protein + 40g fat ADD: 1g carbs for every min walk, 2g for every min exercise: Lazy Day: 50m walk/5k steps = 50g carbs Active Day: 85m walk + 45m lift = 175g carbs 47% Protein (225 g) 18% Fat (40 g) 35% Carbs (175 g) 1950 Cals
Replying to @tednaiman
Here are what I believe are the ideal macros for building muscle & minimizing fat. I calculated the median lowest macros during contest prep of natural male bodybuilders (team 3DMJ): 47% protein (225 g) 18% fat (40 g) 35% carbs (175 g) 1950 calories/day

There’s a war on introspection. Cynicism is at an all-time high against psychology, the arts, & humanities. The influencers tell you: shut up & build. Retardmaxx & don’t ask questions. They aren’t cynics. They’re children who grew up & forgot their dreams. Don’t forget yours.

People are worried that GLP-1s will cause them to go blind (risk is ~1 in 10,000), though this is mostly in people who already have eye damage from diabetes. The risk of going blind from not treating diabetes is far higher than GLP-1s. Personally, I see clearer on Tirzepatide ;)

Unpopular opinion: visual muscular definition trumps body fat %. A mirror is cheaper and more useful than a DEXA scan/body fat analyzer. The quadriceps have four heads. In a fit woman with low body fat, you should see two of them and three in men. Hit Leg Day & Tirzepatide! 💉

Unpopular Opinion: Y’all are so fat that you think she is too muscular or thin and that lifting weights & peptides would make you just like this. Nonsense. I’ve never seen someone get too bulky or thin on accident. This is a pro preparing for competition. And she looks strong!

Unpopular Opinion: most people use GLP-1s wrong. Crushing appetite cuts calories & protein in half so 25% of weight loss is muscle loss! This is avoidable: 1) 1g protein/lb of ideal weight (drink shakes) 2) Strength train 5x/week 3) Testosterone for men & a GH peptide for women

Body weight is the wrong metric! Track Body Fat/Fat Free Mass Index. My Standards: KINGS🤴🏻 BF: 10-15% (<12% lean) FFMI: 20-24 (>22 muscular) QUEENS👸🏻 BF: 18-24% (<20% lean + menses) FFMI: 17-20 (>18 muscular) MIRROR > SCALE. Can you see 3 quads & 6 abs (2 in women)? Royalty!

Dr. @AbudBakri dropping wisdom at PepMed 2026 on how to save your immune system. When you measure your labs, see if these three markers are optimal: - Lymphocyte:Monocyte ratio >5 - CD4:CD8 ratio >1 - CD4 count > 800

The new trend is the “sleeper build.” Forget the bodybuilder who looks like a 900 lb. Gorilla no matter what he wears. It’s the guy/gal who looks okay in regular clothes, but has an amazing physique underneath. How? Tirzepatide + Testosterone for men & Tesamorelin for women.
