Recomposition·Intermediate·12 weeks

Recomposition — Balanced

Test + EQ + MK-677 — simultaneous muscle gain and fat loss.

Overview

Body recomposition protocols target simultaneous muscle gain and fat loss — achievable only with a precise calorie intake at or near maintenance and compounds that favor partitioning. Test provides the anabolic foundation, Equipoise (Boldenone) adds lean mass with notable vascularity, MK-677 elevates GH/IGF-1 levels for recovery and partitioning support. Slower than a bulk, cleaner physique outcome than a cut.

Who it's for

  • 01Researchers at 12–18% body fat wanting both goals simultaneously
  • 02Intermediate level — done at least one clean cycle
  • 03Patient researchers — recomp timeline is 12+ weeks for visible results

Weekly Protocol

Weeks 1–10: Test + EQ + MK-677. Week 11–12: MK-677 only (EQ clearing). Weeks 13–16: PCT with Nolvadex. MK-677 is non-suppressive — can continue indefinitely if desired, though tolerance may develop.

Expected Outcomes

  • 5–10 lb lean mass gain
  • 3–6% body-fat reduction (2–5 lb fat loss)
  • Improved vascularity and muscle fullness
  • Better sleep + recovery from MK-677

Safety & Warnings

  • MK-677 causes significant water retention and morning grogginess first 1–2 weeks.
  • MK-677 elevates blood glucose — diabetics and pre-diabetics should avoid.
  • EQ can cause anxiety / sleep disruption in some users due to increased RBC.
  • Recomp requires precise calorie tracking — without it, you bulk or cut accidentally.

Frequently Asked

Can I eat maintenance for this?

Yes — recomp is designed for maintenance calories. Slight deficit (100–200 kcal) often accelerates fat loss without compromising gains.

Can I swap EQ for Primo?

Yes, at 400–500 mg/wk. Primo is milder but more expensive. Same role, slightly different vascularity profile.
