In Part 2 of our peptide series, Piet sits down again with Vincent Ronquillo — biology researcher, CrossFit athlete and co-founder of Z-Peptides and Pharmazine — to break down the two most talked about recovery peptides in the game right now: BPC-157 and TB-500, otherwise known as the Wolverine Stack.BPC-157 was originally discovered in the stomach — the compound that protects your stomach lining from its own acid. Researchers found that when applied to injured tissue, it triggers angiogenesis — new blood vessel growth — directly at the injury site, accelerating the repair process. TB-500, a fragment of Thymosin Beta-4, works systemically, guiding cells to the injury location and driving them to repair. Together they form one of the most studied peptide combinations in preclinical tissue repair science — and one of the most popular in the athletic and recovery community.They also break down the Reboot Stack — the Wolverine Stack plus GHK-Cu, the copper peptide. Originally studied for skin, GHK-Cu stimulates collagen and elastin production, making it the third piece of the puzzle for more serious injuries. Think of it this way: BPC-157 starts the healing, TB-500 directs it, and GHK-Cu provides the quality collagen to rebuild it stronger.Piet shares his own experience using the Wolverine Stack to recover from a badly rolled ankle — running a desert trail half marathon just six weeks later. Vincent shares how it brought him back from a knee injury that had him questioning whether he'd ever compete again.This is not medical advice.

Peptides are everywhere right now — but most people have no idea what they actually are, where they come from, or whether they're safe. In this first episode of a four-part series, Piet sits down with Vincent, Pharos Palm Springs coach, biology researcher, and co-founder of Z-Peptides and Pharmazine, to break it all down from the ground up.No jargon. No hype. Just the science explained in plain English.They cover what a peptide actually is — and why it's nothing like a steroid. How peptides are made, what 503A compliance means and why it matters, and why the purity of your source is everything. They also share their own personal experiences using the Wolverine Stack (BPC-157 and TB-500) for injury recovery — including Piet running a desert half marathon just weeks after severely twisting his ankle.This is Part 1 of 4. Next episode: a deep dive into the Wolverine Stack — the go-to peptide protocol for injury recovery, tendon repair and getting back to training faster.Have questions about peptides?

I woke up this morning to an email I didn't expect. A Pharos member named Shannon had sent out a newsletter to his entire list — unprompted, unasked — praising the Repair class and inviting his readers to come try it. I burst into tears.This mini episode is about that moment. The power of an unexpected kind word. The difference it makes when someone takes 30 seconds to tell you that what you're doing matters. Shannon didn't have to do it. He just did it because he meant it.My message is simple — if you have someone in your life who deserves to hear something good today, tell them. Praise their effort over their results. Let them know you see them. You have no idea what that moment could mean to someone.At Pharos our mission is to be a light in your day. But I'll tell you — the light shines both ways. 💪 Join the 7-Day Results Accelerator to build clarity, momentum, and sustainable joy in your routine. pharosathleticclub.comIf you are in Southern California come train with us Echo ParkRedondo BeachIdyllwildPalm SpringsFollow Pharos, Piet and Emylee on Instagram for more fitness related content.

T'ara has been part of the Pharos community for years — powerlifting meets, Limitless Challenges, stops and starts. But it wasn't until she did the Pharos Accelerator in November that everything clicked. One year later she's down 10 inches off her waist, 4% body fat, and maintained her muscle — and she's coming back for the April Accelerator to keep going.In this conversation with Emylee, T'ara breaks down what made the difference. Not the hardest program she's ever done. Not training like a bodybuilder. Just a personalized roadmap, a community checking on each other, and one week at a time.She talks about updating her roadmap in real time as her life changes, why having someone evaluate your goals makes all the difference, and why sometimes you just need another pair of eyes to see how far you've actually come.This one is for anyone who has been on a long health journey and just needs to know they're still on the right track.💪 Join the 7-Day Results Accelerator to build clarity, momentum, and sustainable joy in your routine. pharosathleticclub.comIf you are in Southern California come train with us Echo ParkRedondo BeachIdyllwildPalm SpringsFollow Pharos, Piet and Emylee on Instagram for more fitness related content.

Max has been a Pharos member since 2018. He's done every program, won the Limitless Challenge, and spent years lifting heavy. He's also spent the better part of 15 years dealing with a recurring back injury that kept derailing his progress.In this episode, Piet and Emylee sits down with Max to talk about what changed when he stopped trying to push through the injury and started building around it. The result? More muscle, less body fat, zero back pain — and the strongest his lower half has ever felt, without a single heavy deadlift or back squat.They cover the Bulletproof Your Back program, pendulum squats, why tall guys with long femurs probably shouldn't be back squatting, the identity crisis that comes when you can no longer do the thing you've always done, and why 10 grams of creatine might be doing more for your brain than your body.They also get into nutrition — why eating in a deficit without hitting protein is the worst thing you can do, how Max went months without feeling bloated for the first time in years, and why tracking macros isn't meant to be forever.This one is for the OG gym goer who's been at it for years, is dealing with injury, and needs a smarter way forward — not a harder one.💪 Join the 7-Day Results Accelerator to build clarity, momentum, and sustainable joy in your routine. pharosathleticclub.comIf you are in Southern California come train with us Echo ParkRedondo BeachIdyllwildPalm SpringsFollow Pharos, Piet and Emylee on Instagram for more fitness related content.
