Welcome back, warriors! In this episode of Peptide of the Week, JD Denham and William T. Haas go head to head with their personal muscle building stacks without comparing notes. Will focused on pure muscle building peptides. JD approached it from a full body recomposition angle. Same goal, two very different minds.

We cover:

💪 Will's Top 5 Muscle Building Peptides

– IGF-1 LR3: the downstream effect of HGH this IS what builds muscle. Best used post-workout with protein and carbs. 8 weeks max

– HGH: increases IGF-1, burns fat, grows tissue everywhere hair, nails, recovery. The long game

– PEG-MGF: local IGF-1 equivalent inject directly into the muscle you just trained post-workout for localized growth

– Tesamorelin + Ipamorelin: GHRH + GHRP combo increases natural HGH pulses, burns visceral fat, FDA approved. Nearly interchangeable with CJC-1295 + Ipamorelin

– CJC-1295 No DAC: mirrors natural HGH pulses, safer long-term than DAC version

– Honorable mention: Follistatin 344 / Myostatin Inhibitor theoretical but exciting. Modified version (Follistatin 242) more targeted. Still early in human data

🏋️ JD's Get-In-Shape Stack

– Testosterone: the non-negotiable base for anyone over 40. Hormonal optimization first

– HGH (2 IU morning, fasted): better sleep immediately, long-term fat burning and recovery

– MK-677: closest thing to gear without gear. Increases appetite, nutrient partitioning, fullness, and sleep quality. Pairs well with Retatrutide if hunger becomes an issue

– 5-Amino-1MQ: keeps fat burning active while adding carbs for muscle growth

– Wolverine Stack (BPC-157 + TB-500): mandatory for anyone lifting heavy over 40. You cannot build without recovering

– Creatine HCL (3g daily): most studied supplement available. Strength, endurance, cell hydration, muscle growth men and women should take it

⚗️ Gear Curveball — Cutting Stack (JD)

– Testosterone (low, as base only)

– Winstrol injectable (weeks 1–4)

– Masteron (add at week 2, run 2 months)

– Proviron (enhances everything, releases free testosterone)

– Optional: Anavar at the end or in place of Winstrol

⚗️ Gear Curveball — Muscle Stack (Will)

– Testosterone Sustanon 400mg (blend of 4 esters, hits in waves)

– Turinabol 25–50mg daily as kickstart (6 weeks max) — leaner, more athletic than D-ball

– Primobolan or Masteron at 2:1 ratio vs testosterone — low side effects, no water retention

– Proviron in last 3/4 of cycle — peels SHBG off receptors, everything feels enhanced again

– 400mg = anabolic threshold / 800mg = upper limit where receptors are maxed

💡 Real talk

– Peptides alone will not pack on size like gear that's just the truth

– But peptides have an elite safety profile gear cannot match

– Sleep and protein are non-negotiable no stack replaces them

– Creatine HCL over monohydrate for less bloat same results

– Never run gear without testosterone as a base everything shuts you down without it
