Retatrutide 0.5mg — what to expect
Your training split
You have a strong athletic background — this program builds on that. Every exercise below has a tutorial link so you can watch the movement before you do it. No guessing. Start with lighter weights than you think you need: perfect form first, load second. You will get stronger every single week.
Rest between sets: 60–90 seconds for most exercises. 2 minutes for heavier compound movements (squats, deadlifts). Use a timer on your phone — resting too little or too long both reduce results. Tempo: lower the weight slowly (2–3 seconds down), push up with control. Never drop or bounce.

Weigh-in rules
Weigh yourself once a week, Wednesday morning. Fasted. Same conditions every time. Ignore daily fluctuations — they are normal and are not fat gain. Your weight can swing 2–4 lbs in a single day based on water, food, hormones, and sleep. The Wednesday number is the only one that matters. If you want to track more, use a 7-day average app like Happy Scale.
