Protocol Adjustments
Two changes this week: where the repair peptides actually go, and the step-up month two was already asking for. The body and the calendar both talk back.

Biohacking
NAD+: The Longevity Tax
NAD+ is the compound I can't feel and pay the most for — and I run it anyway. What it is, where the human longevity evidence is real and where it's still a promissory note, the slow-push that kills the flush, and why the most expensive line in my stack buys the slowest payoff to verify.

Borrowing the Pulse: CJC-1295 + Ipamorelin
Most people inject growth hormone. This stack makes your own body release it — CJC-1295 is the signal, Ipamorelin the trigger. The mechanism, the one-minute warmth, my pre-bed dose and CBD sleep ritual, and the real question: when do you graduate to real HGH, and how do you do it smart?
Biohacking
Retatrutide: The Off Switch
Retatrutide hits three receptors and makes semaglutide and tirzepatide look like the warm-up act. The mechanism, the trial numbers, my dose and where I'm taking it next — and the one thing nobody warns you about: it works so well you'll stop eating protein and drinking water, and burn muscle.
Biohacking
Blast & Cruise
TRT is the floor. Blast and cruise is what you do when the floor isn't enough — without the crashes. Sit at a maintenance dose, push to a supraphysiological one for a window, then drop back and hold. Where the line is, the timing, the ancillary stack, and the 250mg I aim for from a 100mg base.

The Wolverine Stack
BPC-157 and TB-500 — the "Wolverine Stack" — get sold as a comic-book healing serum. The reality is more useful: two repair peptides that keep you training when your tendons want to quit. What they do, what the evidence actually shows, and the bodybuilding reframe most write-ups miss.

Mythos on a Federal Leash
Anthropic spent two months telling the world Mythos was too dangerous to release. Friday at 5:21 PM, the US government took it literally — and export-controlled Fable 5 and Mythos 5 out of reach for every non-American on earth. It smells coordinated. It's worse: a prophecy Anthropic wrote itself.

Carbs Are Back, and It's Fucking Awesome
I spent a long time treating carbohydrates as the enemy. Timing them around training instead became the best change I've made to my physique in a year — and somehow the fat is still coming off.

Fable 5: Mythos on a Leash
Fable 5 is the first Mythos-class model the public can call — a tier above Opus, 1M context, double the price, and no zero-retention option. The catch: a safety classifier that automatically hands you back to Opus 4.8. Everything that actually matters.

Opus 4.8 Would Rather Tell You It Failed
Anthropic's fourth Opus model in six months. The story isn't another point on SWE-bench, it's a model that flags its own broken code and a tool that lets one agent command hundreds. An honest scorecard from someone who runs agents all day.

The Abdomen Said No
Week 5 of the protocol, three updates: a NAD+ technique that finally works, an abdomen running out of real estate, and a primary-site switch to the lateral thigh.

My Agent Filed Its Own Ticket
I handed a PR review to an agent. It silently created a follow-up ticket because the reviewer said "or". Welcome to prompt injection lite — and the same mechanism that, with a hostile reviewer, ends in your .env being curl'd to a stranger.
