My 12-Week Fight Camp Journey with Retatrutide By: A Professional MMA Fighter

Week 1: Starting the Journey

I began my 12-week fight camp with a clear goal: make weight without sacrificing muscle. My coach introduced me to Retatrutide—a triple agonist targeting GLP-1, GIP, and glucagon receptors. I started with a microdose of 0.2 mg/day to ease into it. Appetite was slightly reduced, but I could still hit my macros. Training focused on conditioning and baseline strength.

Week 2: Appetite Control Kicks In

Retatrutide’s effects became more noticeable. I felt fuller after meals and had fewer cravings. I adjusted my meal plan to include more calorie-dense foods like avocado and oats to maintain a surplus. My weight dropped by 1.2 kg, mostly water and fat. Energy levels were stable.

Week 3: Dialing in Nutrition

I increased protein intake to 2.0 g/kg/day and added EAAs post-workout. Retatrutide helped me stay lean while eating enough to fuel training. I felt lighter and faster during sparring. Sleep improved, and recovery was quicker.

Week 4: Strength Gains and Fat Loss

Despite being in a slight deficit, I hit PRs in deadlifts and squats. Retatrutide’s nutrient partitioning seemed to be working—muscle was preserved, and fat was melting. I reduced the dose to 0.5 mg every other day to avoid over-suppression of appetite.

Week 5: Mental Clarity and Focus

My mind felt sharp. With less bloating and cleaner eating, I was more focused during drills. I added creatine and magnesium to my supplement stack. Weight was down 3.5 kg total, with minimal lean mass loss.

Week 6: Mid-Camp Check-In

DEXA scan showed 4.2 kg fat loss and only 0.6 kg lean mass reduction. Coaches were impressed. I felt strong, agile, and confident. Retatrutide was proving to be a game-changer.

Week 7: Pushing the Limits

Training intensity ramped up. I added two-a-days with morning cardio and evening sparring. Appetite dipped, so I used liquid meals and shakes to hit calorie goals. Recovery remained solid.

Week 8: Strategic Adjustments

I paused Retatrutide for 3 days to reset appetite. It worked—I was able to eat more and refuel. Then resumed at 0.25 mg/day. Weight was down 5.8 kg, mostly fat. My abs were popping, and strength was intact.

Week 9: Final Fat Push

I focused on cutting visceral fat. Retatrutide’s glucagon activation helped boost thermogenesis. I added sauna sessions and fasted cardio. My body felt tight and explosive.

Week 10: Tapering for Performance

I reduced Retatrutide to 0.2 mg every other day. Training shifted to speed and technique. I maintained lean mass and dropped another 0.8 kg of fat. No signs of fatigue or weakness.

Week 11: Fight-Ready Physique

I hit my target weight with 6.7 kg total loss—5.9 kg fat, 0.8 kg lean mass. I looked shredded but felt strong. Coaches said I was in the best shape of my career. Retatrutide helped me cut without compromising performance.

Week 12: Fight Week

I stopped Retatrutide to avoid GI side effects. Focused on hydration, sleep, and mental prep. My body was dialed in. I made weight easily and felt powerful in the cage.

Final Thoughts

Retatrutide was a powerful ally in my fight camp. It helped me:

• Cut fat efficiently

• Preserve muscle

• Stay mentally sharp

• Avoid extreme dehydration or starvation

Used strategically, it’s a game-changer for fighters. But it’s not a magic pill—training, nutrition, and recovery still matter most.
