M1T Update

(CLICK HERE here to view the original thread with full colors/images)




Posted by: DOMS

Well, as of last Sunday I started PCT. I decided not to go an extra week on my cycle. My next goal is to cut and I didn't want to wait. Plus, I wasn't getting enough sleep and the lethargy was killing me.

I understood before hand that my test levels would be equal to that of a six year old girl. I just didn't stop to think that so would my lifting. Now I'm worried that the little down the block is going to kick my butt. As least, that's the word on the street.

Anywho...

My PCT will be four weeks long, but how long will it take for my nads to start producing any level of test again? Does it take the whole PCT or some subset of time?

Thanks!

It took me longer than PCT to get my libido back up, but it will happen.

This is good to here, GC, because I'm in my last week of PCT and I'm SO close to being where I was, but not quite. It's good to hear that it might take a little longer than PCT even with something as mild as 1-AD/4-AD.



Posted by: gococksDJS

With 1-AD, I only experienced very mild libido loss, but with M1T it was gone big time...

Well, me too, but it's still not quite up to par. I had extremely high test levels to begin with.

Actually, my labido is just fine. I was wondering how long it would take before I could life more than a six year old girl. When does the strenght start to come back?



Posted by: thatguy

Honestly, mine never dropped. But, again, I was on a much more mild PH.

Are you lifting lighter to prevent injury or did your strength drop that quickly after coming off cycle?



Posted by: DOMS

My first set seems to go just fine. My second set is a little off and my third set down by a few of reps. I seem to lose energy quicker.



Posted by: largepkg

On my previous M1T cycles I've had a strength increase of approximately 10%. Unfortunately those go bye bye when coming off cycle. You shouldn't lose everything but you will lose a bit.

I'm on my last week of my M1t cycle. I'm benching 270lbs 1RM. I expect to be able to put up 255lbs off cycle. Just comes with the territory.



Posted by: DemolitionNine

When I was on my M1T cycle, I was maxing at 275lbs on bench...

I'm at about 235lbs right now...



Posted by: DOMS

Are you currently doing PCT?



Posted by: crazy_enough

How cardio on M1t? I guess I mean the stamina/cardio vascular capacity and maybe even will power to do cardio! Better, same worst?
I guess bp can be a little high, dyou find it interferes?(sp)



Posted by: MTN WARRIOR

Agreed that you will lose some, but not all of your gains in strength. I have been trying a new twist (for me anyway). I stop taking creatine and workout boosters while on PHs. M1T in particular holds water enough as it is that I dont need creatine doing it as well. Then, during PCT, I start taking those two supps again. I dont know if I build up a tolerance while taking it for so long, then after going back on, I am renewed or what. I notice it instantly upon starting those two supps back up. It helps me lift more and keep my "lifting libido" up. IT could all be mental, but it works every time. If I bench 275 on cycle, then I only drop to about 265-270 during PCT. I was almost as "jacked" during PCT as I was on cycle. Just my experience. ALthough you don't have to cycle creatine, I have to imagine that you build a tolerance to it like you can for any substance.

Cardio during PCT is a no-no. That's a pretty much universally accepted. Right now I have zero test in my system and I can overtrain very easy.

I'll give it a shot. I haven't lost a lot of my strength, just enough to bother me. Plus, it feels as though the work I do is harder and I dislike that as well. The real funny thing is that my labido never took a hit. Not during my cycle or on PCT. Not that I'm complaining.

If you're goal is to bulk, it would be counter productive. My understanding is that intensive cardio has no place during a bulk (PH induced or otherwise). Some would disagree though.

Oh that I know, I do moderate/low intensity cardio twice/week, just to keep cv capacity up and hopefully, fat at bay. I know that one of my FBB friends does do cardio on m1t...I should ask her!

you say it is a GOOD thing that libdo takes ages to come back?

man! it is gonna be like my worst nightmare when i come off my cycle!

how long till you could get it up? how am i gonna explain to my girl?? (good time valentines day is in a couple of weeks and not a couple of months, time to double up the 4derm i think... )

Some advice for you cycle crazy enough. First off, everyone is different, so feel free to ignore my advice.

When I was on my M1T cycle I doubled up the number of workouts on every muscle group except the legs. I still did those only once a week with the exception of my calves. I did those three times a week and they exploded in size (I gained a couple of inches, cold).

Food, food, and more food. Take a weight gainer if you need to. East about six or seven times a day. I'm 5'10" at 210 (pre-M1T) and I ate 4000 cals a day. I think I over did that though, I picked up a few pounds of fat.

Even though I upped the number of workouts, I still don't think I was pushing it as hard as I could. I aware that overtraining is a worry, but I never felt any of the symptoms.

Sleep. Get lots of sleep. About 7 to 8 hours per day.

The M1T really kicked in on the 10th day. The pumps became outrageous and the growth really kicked in.

Eat as clean as you can, but don't beat yourself up if you cheat a bit. You'll be constantly hungry and will eat anything that gets to close. My neighbor lost a cat that way... Make sure to eat a slow digesting meal before bed or get up after four hours of sleep to get a snack or you'll wake up ravenous and risk binging. I know I did.

Make sure that you are taking your multivitamin and multimineral supplements. Take an extra dose of vitamins C & E after your workout. Get plenty of EFAs.

Well, there are a few tips for you.

i do HIIT cardio all year round, it kicks ass... why would low intensity cardio be better if bulking?.. high intesity is in every sense superior to regular cardio regardless of cutting or bulking



Posted by: DOMS

I don't believe in doing cardio on a bulk. I save all my time and energy for the weight room. Like I said, that's just my opinion.

Bulking requires excess calories.
High intensity burns more calories.
Low intensity burns fewer calories.
Therfore, low intensity (or no cardio) = more excess calories = better for bulking.

I didnt intend on upping that count much more during my cycle, but I might reconsider this...but I am just (just..lol thats funny)5 foot 6 3/4 and 175 so...
I cant survive without a minimum of 8 hours/sleep so Im good here and supplement wise Im already on track....like way on track!

Any time!

Hell yes!!!

I just weighed myself for the first time since I started my cycle (and four days into PCT).

224 lbs, for a gain of 15 lbs!

w00t!



Posted by: crazy_enough

Wicked man!



Posted by: Du

Be careful of joint/tendon/ligament pain too. Muscle will grow wicked fast, but these wont adjust as quickly, makes for a good way to get hurt.

Id recommend glucosamine/chondritin for joints, but definitely be careful of injuries there.

You wanna know what's really funny...I don't feel like I'm 224 lbs person. I'm not really sure how to say it. It's kind of like my voice. My voice is very deep (or so I've been told by many people), but I just don't hear it. When I tell people that I weight 210 (now 224), they have a hard time believing it.

Oh well...

Thanks du510!

I've learned about this before my cycle, so I've been taking Glucosamin/Chondritin (joints), Calcium/Magnesium (bones), and MSM (joints and ligaments). I started taking them a month and a half before I started my cycle and have had zero problems.

Now my big worry is overtraining.

Not a problem. While on anabolics though, its tough as hell to overtrain. That, my friend, is good news.

Very true. Like I posted earlier, I doubled up all my workouts (except legs) and did calves three times a week. With all of that I never felt worn out. Even the Accute Inflamatory Response seemed to lessen.

Next time I'm going to try throwing in a superset or dropset once or twice a week.

On a side note, I'm no longer able to wear one pair of pants, three shirts, and a half a dozen pairs of socks. I can't get the pants past my thighs and the shirts and socks are too tight to be comfortable.

Not that I'm complaining.

Its going to take awhile for your test to be back to normal again. Next time I suggest stacking the m1t with 4AD(Im guessing you didnt) this will help with libido and also lethargy. Good luck..

Posted by: DOMS

I took four sprays 4DERM morning and night.



Posted by: Revolution Max

Than whats up with the lethargy bro, what does 4 sprays equal out to be, how many mgs?



Posted by: Du

Even with 4ad, lethargy is near impossible to avoid while on m1t.



Posted by: DOMS

Actually, I have no lethargy on my PCT. As a matter of fact, I only had lethargy during my cycle only when I got less than 7 hours of sleep.

My problem is that I've noticed a drop in my strength since going on PCT and I was wondering how long before it came back.

Thats not totaly true bro, when I used m1t and 4ad I did not see any signs of it, when I used m1t alone I was knocked out everyday lol

If what your saying is true than theres realy no point in using 4AD. Thats why I have to disagree to a certain extent.



Posted by: largepkg

M1T = :o No way to avoid it. I'm taking 8 sprays x 2 ED and still very tired, but I want to hump everything in sight.

really bro that sucks, maybe I got lucky

PS: Lets put it this was, 4AD helps alot with lethargy, it might not stop it totaly for some people but it deff. helps control it.

I'm sure everyone reacts a little different. I go up to 20mg ED as well so I'm sure that doesn't help. All in the name of

exactly my point. 4-ad mitigates, not eliminates.

At the same time, everyone responds differently.

Your 100% right, I misunderstood you. I thought you ment it doesnt work at all.

nah not at all. i actually use m4ad when im on m1t. i only take it when the sides are bad, as i dont deem is helpful enough to use daily.

but ya, i use it myself.
