Lost 60 lbs on reta. 16 of it wasn't fat
First 4 months, about a third of what i lost was lean mass. that one scared me
Last 4 months? fat down 12, lean up half a pound. lifting 4 days, cardio 3
Honestly everyone on a glp-1 should get a dexa. change my mind
Never trust the vendor. Only the testing
Stole that line from @rorynotsorry because it's too good
Scale, InBody, DEXA or the mirror
You only get one to track your progress for the next year
Which one are you picking?
Last week I said most of the BPC-157 research is on rats. Got told I was wrong a lot
Superpower just mapped 152 peptides. BPC: 35 of 36 studies in animals or the lab
Great library. Now somebody build one for what's actually in the vial
We're thrilled to announce the Superpower Peptide Library.
Every peptide, mapped to the body.
152 peptides, from approved drugs to compounds still in trials, sorted by where they act.
Each one has its own page, reviewed by a physician and fully cited, covering:
- the evidence and how strong it is
- its FDA status
- it's mechanism of action
- what studies in humans have found
Because not all peptides are equal.
Semaglutide is FDA-approved. BPC-157, maybe the most talked-about peptide for recovery and repair, is not. In a 2025 review of its research, 35 of 36 studies were in animals or the lab.
Know the science before you buy the hype.

Can confirm with my own DEXA. First 4 months, about a third of what I lost was lean
Last 4 months, fat kept dropping and lean held
The muscle loss is real. It's also not a given
But what is the downside of glp-1’s
You have to understand how these drugs work.
They aren’t burning fat directly.
They work through modulating appetite and satiety signals.
Fat loss happens through eating less
So what are the long term risks?
The risk comes down to eating too little. Not eating enough protein and losing muscle and bone density.
Basically it all stems down to undereating.
This is why you must eat the correct calories, protein and quality food.
And you must use the right dose that allows you to still hit proper calories.
And you must shift into maintenance calories when you hit desired leanness.
And of course. If you want to look great you must lift heavy to maintain and even build muscle as you strip off fat
Muscle loss on a GLP-1 isn't a GLP-1 problem
It's an eating and lifting problem
The drug kills the hunger. It doesn't eat your protein for you or pick up the weights
My visceral fat is down 55% since February
4.57 lbs → 2.05 lbs
That's the fat wrapped around your liver, kidneys and gut. The kind your scale can't see
The lab says 1.1 or lower is ideal. Under a pound to go
If you're only tracking the scale, you're missing the number that actually matters
Friday: Skool HQ with Sam Ovens, @AlexHormozi and the people running the top communities on Skool
This weekend: our first ever Inner Circle meetup in LA
Learned a ton, made real friends, and somehow became a pillow
Where should we do the next meetup?
People will drop $20 on a vial without blinking
Then call a $250 lab test "too expensive"
That test is the only thing telling you what's actually in your fridge
Cheap vial, expensive test. that's the real price
"24% weight loss" is the most misread number in this whole space
It's an average. averages hide a lot
Almost nobody checks how long the study ran, who dropped out, or what the placebo group did
Most people quoting it never opened the study
Most of y'all aren't scared of bad peptides
You're just scared of finding out yours is bad
Hours picking a vendor. $0 checking what actually showed up
I'll take a bad lab report over a good guess every time
If that's not you, tell me what's in your vial right now
Saw someone say food noise doesn't exist. I used to think that was bullcrap too
Then it went quiet and I realized how much of my day was just thinking about food. i'm a foodie man, I didn't even notice
Did y'all know most of the bpc-157 research is on rats, not people?
Not saying it doesn't work. just saying we don't really know yet in people
