Stacks · 10 protocols
A stack is a protocol, not a shopping list. Every one here is assembled only from graded, cited entries — so each part shows its real evidence — and every one is built foundations first, with a clear order to add things and an honest note on what to skip. No vendor links, no "research only" wink, nothing sold. Just how the pieces fit.
The 90%. Everything that actually moves the needle, in the order to build it.
Fix the behavior first, then reach for the smallest useful pill — not the other way around.
Training and protein do 95% of it. One supplement helps. The rest is where people get sold.
A sustainable deficit, protected muscle, and honesty about the one drug that actually changed the game.
The stack that actually extends life — the one the physique sites barely mention.
Catch the drift early, fix it with the boring levers, and know where the drugs fit.
Sleep and food are the recovery stack. The healing-peptide corner is where honesty matters most.
Your brain runs on sleep and cardio. The nootropic aisle is mostly downstream of that.
What the enthusiasts actually take — and exactly how much we really know about each piece.
If you do nothing else, do these. Six moves, most of them free.
