[Transformation Log] 12 Weeks Recomp: IGF1-LR3 + Frag + CJC/Ipa + Yohimbine

Hey everyone,

I wanted to share a quick write-up on my physique update after finishing a 3-month block focused on recomposition.

For a bit of context: I come from a background of obesity. Even though I’ve been lean and muscular for a while now, anyone who has been in my shoes knows the struggle—that stubborn fat (especially around the lower abs and loose skin areas) is a nightmare to shift, and usually, when I diet down hard, I end up looking flat and depleted.

For this run, I wanted to try a specific synergy to attack that stubborn adipose tissue while keeping my muscle bellies full and round.

The Protocol (12 Weeks):

• Fat Loss target: HGH Frag 176-191 + Yohimbine (taken strictly pre-fasted cardio).
• Fullness & Recovery: IGF1-LR3 (Post-Workout) + CJC-1295/Ipamorelin (Pre-bed).

The Experience:Honestly, the difference compared to my natural cuts was night and day.

1. Fullness: The IGF1-LR3 really shined here. Usually, in a deficit, I lose that "pop." With this, the pumps were painful (in a good way) and lasted hours after the gym. I looked rounder and fuller even while the scale was dropping.
2. Stubborn Fat: The Frag + Yohimbine combo finally tapped into those areas that never seemed to change before. I noticed significantly more vascularity and a drier look around the midsection by week 4.
3. Recovery: Sleep quality on CJC/Ipamorelin was incredible. Deep, restorative sleep, which helped massively with recovery between heavy sessions (5x week), without the nasty hunger spikes that GHRP-6 gives.

I'm attaching the before/after shots so you can see the difference in skin quality and muscle separation. For an ex-obese guy, achieving this level of dryness while keeping size has always been the main goal, and I feel like I finally unlocked it with this stack.

Happy to answer any questions about how I timed the doses or structured the training around it.

Cheers.

First off… massive respect for that transformation!!!

Anyone who hasn’t come from an obesity background won’t fully understand what you’re describing… the fight is not just about fat loss, it’s about fighting biology, skin elasticity, fat cell memory and that constant risk of looking flat when you finally push hard enough.

managing to get drier while keeping fullness is not a small thing. That’s a real shift.

From what you describe, the approach makes sense. Instead of chasing just scale weight, you clearly aimed at quality of tissue. The combination you used seems to have helped you keep muscle bellies “alive” while actually making progress in those stubborn zones that usually refuse to move, especially lower abs and loose skin areas.

The fact that you mention improved vascularity and better midsection look by week 4 is a great sign. That usually means you weren’t just dehydrating yourself into a temporary look… but actually improving tissue quality and partitioning.

Sleep improvement is another BIIIIIG win. For ex-obese athletes, recovery is often the hidden limiter, not effort. When sleep improves, everything downstream tends to follow… training quality, stress control, fat mobilization.

And honestly, the biggest victory here is not the compounds. It’s that you ran a phase where you came out tighter without sacrificing shape. That’s the nightmare scenario for many who diet down from a heavier past.

Congrats on the change. You’re clearly doing something right in how you structure your phases and manage recovery!!

Now let’s plan that bulk
