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. Chapters: 00:00 – Fatherhood, Family & God Shots 09:03 – Top Peptides for Building Muscle 11:07 – IGF-1 LR3 & HGH Explained 14:10 – Tesa, Ipamorelin & CJC-1295 19:02 – BPC-157, TB500 & Recovery 21:25 – JD's Muscle-Building Stack 25:28 – MK-677, Fat Loss & Performance 29:40 – Peptides vs Steroids 33:03 – Favorite Cutting Cycles 40:28 – Why Everyone Should Take Creatine 43:02 – Skool Community & Final Thoughts 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 📺 Subscribe for more no-fluff peptide education every week.
