Shape
the protocol it funnels to
Before you start.
- Your client is on a protocol, most often for shape. This page says what changes in the first weeks and what to do about it in the programme.
- The compound is not your job and the dose is not on this page. The training is your job, and it matters more now, not less.
- You leave knowing what to hold, what to trim, what to watch for, and how to read the log your client can export.
What changes.
On a shape protocol the core compound reduces appetite within the first two weeks. Your client will eat less without deciding to, and unless protein is deliberate, less of it will be protein. The sheet asks for a protein floor from day one; you are the person who will notice whether it is being met, because the sessions will tell you. Energy in the first month can dip on the day after a weekly dose, and nausea is common in the first fortnight. Neither is a reason to stop training; both are reasons to programme around them.
From week five most protocols add a second compound, and on the shape and recovery protocols that is a repair blend taken daily. Soreness and small niggles tend to settle over the following weeks. The dose steps up on the sheet's ladder, usually every four weeks, and each step can bring a day or two of the early effects back.
What to do in programming.
Keep the load. The single most important thing a coach does for a client on a shape protocol is refuse to let strength go while weight comes off, because that is what keeps the loss fat. Trim volume early, not intensity: fewer sets at the same weight in the first month, then build the sets back as appetite and energy settle. Put the hardest session on a day that is not the day after the weekly dose.
Hydration matters more than usual, because appetite and thirst fall together and the compound slows the stomach. Ask about water at the start of every session. Protein at the meal after training is the one you can most influence; name a number of grams with the client and their doctor, and hold them to it.
For a strength protocol on the growth hormone pairing, programme as you would for anyone chasing muscle: progressive overload, adequate recovery, sleep protected. The compounds support recovery and the body's own release; the stimulus is yours.
What to watch for, and when to send them to a doctor.
Ordinary: reduced appetite, mild nausea in the first weeks, a day of lower energy after a weekly dose, a small bruise at an injection site. Send them to their doctor: persistent or severe abdominal pain, especially radiating to the back; vomiting that does not stop; a hot, red, swollen injection site; dizziness or shakiness that does not pass with food, particularly in a client with diabetes; a resting heart rate or blood pressure that has clearly changed. The protocol sheet already told them to take it to a doctor who knows them before starting, and the doctor is the person for anything on that list.
You are not expected to know the compounds. You are expected to know your client, and a coach who sees them three times a week is often the first to notice a change worth a conversation.
Reading the log.
The client's Tracker records each dose with the time and site, weight and waist weekly, and an energy, sleep and appetite score out of five on the days they enter one, with the days a dose stepped up marked. It exports as a CSV from the Tracker page, and the client can send it to you. Weight against week, with the step markers, tells you when to expect a dip; the energy score tells you which days to programme hard.
Nothing in the log is sent to us. It lives on the client's phone and they decide who sees it.
How it fits your protocol.
The shape protocol is built on retatrutide and the KLOW blend; the strength protocol on CJC-1295 with ipamorelin and tesamorelin. Both were built assuming the client trains. The sheet says so from day one, and the strength foundations page says why in the client's words. Your programme is the half of the protocol this site cannot write.
If the client has not taken the quiz yet, the closing button below builds their protocol in three minutes. If they have, the Tracker is where the log lives.
Shape protocols here are built on Retatrutide and KLOW Blend. Yours starts with three minutes.
Get startedQuestions
Should my client stop training in the first weeks?
No. Trim volume, keep load, move the hardest session away from the dose day. Stopping is how the loss becomes muscle.
How much protein?
The sheet asks for a protein floor and the client's doctor sets the number. Your job is to see that the meal after training carries it.
Can I see the dose?
It is on the client's sheet, which they can show you. This page deliberately does not reproduce doses; they are between the client, the sheet and their doctor.
What if they bruise at the site?
A small bruise is ordinary. A hot, red or swollen site is a doctor visit. The site rotation map keeps the same spot from being used again too soon.
Is any of this a medical claim?
No. It is what changes in the first weeks, from the sheet's own schedule, and how a coach programmes around it. The compounds are research materials and the client was told to see a doctor first.
