Feel like most peptide users train hypertrophy style (bodybuilding-ish splits). Curious how many strength-focused lifters we have and whether your peptide stack changes by training focus.

Me: powerlifting-adjacent, run BPC + TB-500 mostly for joint stuff, don't touch GH stacks. Curious who else is in that lane.

Recovery rotation
  • BPC-157 · 500 mcg · 2x/day local · sub-Q
  • TB-500 · 2 mg · 2x/wk · sub-Q

Strongman-adjacent here. BPC is non-negotiable. TB-500 for my rotator cuff. No GH. Not interested in weight-class problems.

Knee project
  • BPC-157 · 500 mcg · 2x/day local to knee · sub-Q
  • TB-500 · 5 mg · weekly loading · sub-Q

Powerlifting. BPC + low-dose GHK. GH stacks make my joints ache at my age, which is the opposite of what I want for maxes.

Light
  • GHK-Cu · 2 mg · topical AM · topical

Hybrid — strength base with hypertrophy accessories. Peptides are mostly recovery (BPC, TB-500). GH stack low-dose in the offseason only.

Q2 stack
  • CJC-1295 no DAC · 100 mcg · pre-bed · sub-Q
  • Ipamorelin · 200 mcg · pre-bed · sub-Q
  • BPC-157 · 500 mcg · 2x/day · sub-Q

Combat sports. Recovery-focused stack is the only thing that lets me roll 5 days a week at 38. No GH — it slows my weight cut.

Hypertrophy style here. Heavy on CJC/ipa, BPC as needed. Opposite protocol to you guys and that's fine — different goals.

Endurance athletes almost never show up in these threads. Curious if any are lurking.
