What peptides pair well with TRT

Hey guys,

Looking for some input on optimizing my current setup.

I’m currently running tirzepatide for weight loss and it’s been working well so far. To avoid muscle loss, I’ve been hitting the gym 3–5x per week (mostly lifting).

I’m about to start TRT (test cypionate) at what should be around 140 mg/week, split into daily microdoses.

My main goal over the next 6 months is:

• Lose as much fat as possible

• Maintain (or ideally build) muscle

I know tirz can make it harder to hold onto muscle due to appetite suppression, so I’m trying to stay ahead of that.

I’m considering adding a peptide to support:

• recovery

• muscle retention

• overall body recomposition

From what I’ve seen, options like:

• CJC-1295 + Ipamorelin

• Tesamorelin

seem to come up a lot, but I’m not sure what would pair best with my current setup.

Questions:

1. What peptide would you guys recommend stacking with TRT + tirz for my goals?

2. Is CJC/Ipamorelin enough, or is Tesamorelin worth it?

3. Anything else I should be thinking about to preserve muscle while cutting?

Appreciate any advice — just trying to do this the right way from the start.
