Retatrutide and Tirzepatide for Recomp

[thegentleman]

I recently started lifting again after taking about a year off due to an injury. I’m currently around 20–25% body fat and plan to do a cut while focusing on body recomp. Im 5'7 at 155 lbs atm.

Between retatrutide and tirzepatide, which would be more appropriate for my situation? What would be a safe starting dosage, and how should I increase it over time? For context, I also have high blood pressure and elevated hematocrit levels as of recently.

For a recomp I would recommend retatrutide. Your able to still somewhat eat thru the food noise reduction and hunger suppression while still hitting your macros. As for tirz it does a really good job just suppressing your appetite so if you wanted to just straight up cut I would go that route. Starting dosage should be 1mg/per week just to assimilate your tolerance. Then titrate up after 4 weeks to 2mg/per week for 4 weeks. You can continue to titrate up every 4 weeks if you need to.

I have been fine with it and don't feel any particular rise in heart rate. Sounds like its just dependent on each person from what I have been reading from others.
