c/glp1muscle rules

Body-composition claims need a method. Bathroom BIA scales are not a method.
Protein targets in g/kg, not "lots".
No supplement selling, no coaching solicitation.
Independent community. Nobody here sells anything, and anyone who tries is banned.
Not medical advice. Describe what you did; never prescribe to a stranger.
Claims need evidence. Batch numbers, dated screenshots, independent test reports, or a citation.
No referral links, discount codes or affiliate URLs. Permanent ban, no appeal.
No contact handles, wallet addresses or tracking numbers — they identify people.
Be recognisably decent. Disagree hard, insult nobody.
