Were you in stage condition when you tested this ? Because it will also be a very easy thing to taper down in the last couple weeks also back. Stage condition when stomach empties insanely fast + a taper back to a dose where you do have control even in a non stage ready condition , will see you perfect
Yes, I’m in the middle of contest prep and without reta my stomach empties very fast, waist control is perfect. Adding even 250 mcg of reta already slows intestinal transit. I could run reta up to 3 weeks out, but I’m worried that on show day my waist control might be worse.

250 mcg twice a week already causes a slowdown in gastric motility. Normally, 15–20 minutes after every meal I can do a vacuum, but when using 0.5 mg of reta per week I can’t, because even though I feel hungry, my stomach is still full. Digestion is definitely a bit worse. For me, perfect abdominal control is the priority, so reta is not an option in my case.

Great feedback on retatrutide. And did you notice any effect on appetite at 1 mg?
What mainly holds me back from retatrutide is the concern that even at a low dose my waist could suffer due to slowed gastric motility.John

Have you noticed that after dropping reta your mid-section tightened up? I’m asking because a lot of people report the same thing.

Your food intake is already quite high – do you plan to remove the Reta over time? Because according to studies, even a small dose slightly slows down gastric emptying.

Thank you so much for all the detailed answers! What I actually meant was whether having a small amount of carbs in my pre-workout meal could be an issue, since it’s only about 40 grams of carbs but I don’t feel like it negatively affects my performance during training.

Kuba, are you still working with Dean?
You look incredible in your Instagram photos! Your condition is even better than during your show!Are you considering using reta in the offseason? Because according to studies, even a small dose slightly slows down gastric emptying, and I know people who used 0.5 mg every other day and experienced a significant drop in appetite during prep.John

Does the social media criticism affect you at all? Especially when it’s coming from a few IFBB Pros- I was looking through the comments on Beyond The Stage’s Instagram, and some of them were among the harshest I’ve ever seen.
I also saw that criticism on social media. I believe constructive criticism is good, but most of the criticism directed at Kuba was unjustified.

At this stage you’re already at around 1000 g of carbs, which is a huge amount and will probably increase ( is the sticky rice measured raw? ) What’s the highest amount of carbs you’ve ever eaten in the offseason? Do you currently have no vegetables in your diet?

How many carbs did you eat during Carb Up? And in the offseason, what was your highest carb intake?

I also really like zucchini, and it doesn’t cause me any discomfort, and it seems to have a positive effect on digestion. How much do you eat per meal?
