Starter Protocol + Sample Training Week
Two peptide protocols most beginners run alongside a structured lift, plus a 4-day sample week that slots protocols around hard training days.
The two starter protocols
BPC-157 — A recovery-focused peptide most beginners start with. Typical protocol is 250–500 mcg/day injected subcutaneously, run for 4–6 weeks. Schedule it on training days and recovery days alike — there's no "on/off" timing requirement.
CJC-1295 (no DAC) + Ipamorelin — A nightly growth-hormone-releasing blend. Typical dose is 100/100 mcg injected subcutaneously before bed, 5 nights on / 2 nights off. Best paired with consistent sleep — the effect compounds over weeks.
Pick one to start. Run it for 4–6 weeks, log everything in the app, then evaluate before adding the second.
