Heavy Duty vs High Volume Training

My biggest change wasn’t in the gym at all. I quit crashing around 2-3 PM every afternoon.

Been lifting over 25 years. Every few years there’s a new “miracle,” but mitochondrial research is one area I actually pay attention to.

Sleep got better before anything else. Once sleep improved, recovery naturally felt better too.

I ran NAD+ alone for almost two months. Added MOTS-c recently and I actually feel more motivated to train.

Hard to separate the effects if your diet changed too.

I compete in classic physique. During prep I noticed I was bouncing back from higher cardio volume a little faster, but I wouldn’t call it dramatic.

I pinned MOTS-c before fasted cardio. Subjectively felt great, but that’s impossible to quantify.

I noticed I could push sled work longer without feeling completely cooked afterward.!

Appreciate everyone sharing real experiences instead of hype.

Recovery only improved after I cleaned up my sleep. I don’t think either peptide fixed bad habits.

Old school lifter checking in. If your nutrition sucks, don’t expect MOTS-c and NAD+ to rescue you.

Felt smoother during long hikes too, not just lifting.
That’s actually

That’s actually pretty cool 👍

Not at the injection.

At the mixing stage.

What’s the biggest reconstitution mistake you’ve seen?

I’ve tried BPC-157 from more than one source and my experience wasn’t the same each time. Some seemed to perform better than others while a few didn’t meet my expectations at all.
That made me wonder whether factors like product quality, sourcing, storage or individual response play a bigger role than many people realize.
