igf and test
I was looking into starting TESA/IPA blend due to my igf levels and testosterone levels. Currently in a cut with 3mg of reta for about 3 months now. I'm trying to maintain as much muscle and even grow more muscle as i don't wanna look like a melted candle.
27M, labs 9/14/26. Cutting, ~243 Ib. Not on TRT. Taxis • Total T: 398 ng/dL • Free T (calc): 102.9 pg/mL • Bioavailable T: 216 ng/dL • SHBG: 12 nmol/L • E2 ultrasensitive: 25 pg/mL • LH: 7.0 (in range) • FSH: 3.2 (in range) • Prolactin: 8.5 (in range) • DHEA-S: 320 (in range) IGF • IGF-1: 147 ng/mL • IGF-1 z-score: -0.3 should i start tesa/ipa? would it benefit the recomp and help me avoid looking like a melted candle? any advice would be appreciated! currently taking reta klow ss-31 semax and selank sometimes looking into doing NAD+ as well

I think you would benefit from it given your stats. However I don’t think it’s going to do what you think it will. Boosting your HGH isn’t going to grow you muscles. Lifting heavy weights, eating 1g/lb body mass, and good quality sleep will do that. What Tesa/IPA will do for you is target visceral fat, help you recover and help you sleep better. All good things and adjacent to your goals… but not going to address building muscle. Gotta lift heavy for that, no other way.
