The Weight-Cut Support Protocol

The make-weight-without-wrecking-yourself protocol — slow body-comp management across a camp, the gut-and-energy layer that survives the diet, and the hard rules that keep a cut from becoming a hospital story.

Let's be clear about what this is: support for managing body composition across a whole camp — not a rapid-cut tool. Nothing in a vial makes dehydrating yourself safe — the last-48-hours water cut is where cuts turn dangerous, and no compound here changes that. What peptides are studied for is the eight weeks before that: dropping fat slowly while keeping training quality, gut function, and muscle — so the final week barely needs drama at all.

The Foundation — cut fuel, not muscle

• AOD-9604 — 400 mcg fasted mornings. The GH fat-fragment: lipolysis without appetite suppression — you still need to eat enough to train twice a day.
• MOTS-c — 2.5 mg, 3× weekly. Metabolic flexibility while calories drop — the leg that keeps the engine burning fat without the pace falling apart.
• NAD+ — 100 mg daily. A calorie deficit inside a camp is a double energy debt; this is the cellular floor.

The Cut-Survival Layer

• KPV — 400 mcg daily. Weight cuts wreck grappler guts — restricted eating, stress, NSAIDs. KPV's gut-inflammation research lane is exactly this situation.
• DSIP — 200 mcg pre-bed. Hungry sleep is shallow sleep, and shallow sleep sabotages both the cut (hunger hormones) and the camp (recovery). This defends the night.

The Complete Optimal Build

• BPC-157 + TB-500 (blend) — 500 mcg daily. Injury risk climbs as body mass drops and volume peaks — the repair floor matters more during a cut, not less.

The full program at a glance

The hard rules (the part that actually matters)

1. Start early. A cut that begins 8 weeks out is nutrition; a cut that begins 8 days out is damage. This protocol assumes the 8-week version.
2. A GLP-1 has no place inside a camp. Appetite suppression while training twice a day is how you end up flat, weak, and hurt. If your walking weight is the real problem, run the Weight & Metabolic Program in the OFF-season, not in camp.
3. Nothing here touches the final water manipulation — on purpose. The whole point of this protocol is a cut slow enough and early enough that fight week barely needs one. A cut aggressive enough to need "managing" belongs under medical supervision, full stop.
4. If you compete tested, read If You Compete before any of this — several compounds are prohibited in tested sport.

The Supply Builder sizes the full 8-week window in one order.

For the women cutting

Same protocol, Standard tier — and one extra flag: aggressive deficits hit women's hormonal systems harder and faster (cycle disruption is the canary). The Women & Peptides guide covers it; "slower and earlier" is even more true here.

Research protocols, not a prescription — talk to a physician before touching anything. A weight cut that needs medical supervision is one you shouldn't be doing alone.
