CJC-1295/Ipamorelin + AOD-9604: 8-week body composition update
I wanted to share my progress now that I'm at the 8-week mark of my current stack. I'm running 100mcg CJC-1295/Ipamorelin nightly and 300mcg AOD-9604 in the morning on an empty stomach. My primary goal was shedding that stubborn midsection fat that just wouldn't budge despite my training. The results have been steady—I'm down about 6 lbs, but more importantly, my waist measurement is down 1.5 inches. My sleep quality has been incredible; my Oura ring shows my deep sleep duration has increased by about 45 minutes on average. I haven't experienced any significant side effects, just a little bit of flushing right after the AOD injection. Has anyone else had success with this specific combo for fat loss? I'm curious if I should cycle off soon or if I can safely extend this for another month.
That is an excellent report, and it sounds like you are seeing the classic synergy between these compounds. The CJC-1295/Ipamorelin stack is great for boosting pulsatile Growth Hormone release, which naturally improves sleep architecture—hence those impressive deep sleep metrics from your Oura ring. It is interesting to see that 1.5-inch waist reduction despite a smaller scale shift; that is often indicative of the lipolytic effects of AOD-9604, which specifically targets fatty acid metabolism and aids in the mobilization of stored adipose tissue without the same insulin or blood glucose fluctuations seen with other GH secretagogues. Since you are hitting the 8-week mark, keep an eye on your fasted blood glucose levels, as some users notice minor shifts over time. Are you cycling off for a short period soon, or planning to continue? Consistency is key, and it sounds like you have dialed in your protocol effectively.
