No what the fuck? what matters is the nutrients not calories

No bro 12% bf is ideal for aromatasing

No, it's a triple agonist which means it interacts with certain receptors that are responsible for burning fat and most importantly appetite control. Reta only really affects these receptors and nothing else. The only side effects you may get are nausea, vomiting and headaches.

Calories are important to an extent. You can lean out on reta with no problems but don't starve yourself in an insane deficit for a long time. Get to your desired bodyfat percentage and start eating at maintenance or lean bulk.

mark as solution if this helped

i was thinking of doing it and hopping on test with it but lowkey don’t wanna hop on test cuz then i have to get other bs with it like finasteride and Ai’s and i’m lowkey not bruce wayne

yeah but i forgot that calorie intake affects the thyroid hormones responsible for the conversion of igf1 it wouldn’t stunt growth it would just slow it down im guessing

Every minute natty is a minute wasted is my view after my second cycle lmao. Honestly its worth the risk if you research the potential side effects and the ancillaries that manage them.

No, he meant 12% is ideal to prevent excess aromatization

Yeah I was just saying like it’s ideal for aromatasing as in like you don’t aromatase as much

 

[okbuddy6996969]

its not just the estrogen in charge of growth plates.
If you somehow meet a 60 year old dude which had 0 estradiol for his whole life, his growth plates will still be closed XD!

Genetics play a part, BMI,endocrines etc. Estrogen does play a big part in growth plates but not 100%
