First M1T Cycle

BODYBUILDING SUPPLEMENTS
High Quality Supplements For Bodybuilders and Athletes. www.ironmaglabs.com
My Beginning Stats:

Height: 5' 11"
Weight: 185lbs
BF: ~12%

Here's a few Lifts I do Every Week:
Bench: 275x8
Squat: 275x10
Smith Machine Front Press: 195x5
Weight Chins: 25lbs x 6

I started M1T four days ago.
5mg for first two days
10mg for day 3
15mg for day 4
20mg for day 5

So far, I've put in a chest/bicep, and leg workout...no significant strength gains noticed yet...I seem to be recovering a bit better...my muscles don't feel as tired the next day as usual...I'm sleeping more and taking naps..not certain it's the M1T, but I seem to have less energy...appetite is good...some acne, but I still get acne on a reg. basis...I'll make another post at the end of the week

I've gained 2 lbs...finished my 3rd workout
today. I'm an pretty significantly stronger.

I did my leg workout 3 days ago...my legs are usually sore at least three days after a workout like I put in...they were only sore for 2 days, and they already feel strong again...definately a difference

Day #7

I'm still dosing at 15mg/day. I'm getting mild headaches at night. My body has a much different feel. My muscles are very tight and hard. I'm recovering about 50% faster.

I've gained 5lbs so far. My legs are 3/4" larger. My quad sweep looks completely different. This shit is amazing. heh.

I need to up my calories a bit. I'm having a hard time eating like I usually do because I just started a new job. I have two more weeks to get some good gains. Needless to say, at this point, I'm very impressed with M1T.

I will post more results soon.

Yes, I shared all the same benefits you described without the headaches or side affects. The only thing that concerns me is the result of my liver afterwards

M1T is great stuff man, I just finished a 2-week cycle. Be careful though man, at 15mg the lethargy and foggy mindedness was getting pretty rough.

Day 10

I got some shitty sleep, and bad nutrition over the weekend. I had to travel, had my sleep interrupted, and got sick one day. Totally sucks. I'm still at the same weight as I was 3 days ago. 5lbs up so far.

I have everything back on track, and have had three good days. I did chest/biceps yesterday, and legs today. I saw some mild improvements in strength. For my usual tough set of 8 on squats, I was able to handle an additional 10lbs. I put in a torturous workout today, so I'm certain I will see some gains. My diet is right on, sleep is good, stress is low, so I'm going to try my best to keep things on track for the next 2 weeks.

I started taking 20mg/day yesterday. No side effects so far. I may go to 25mg/day in a couple of days, and then 30mg/day for the last week. I will also start using 6-oxo for the last week, and two weeks after.

My look has changed quite a bit. I'm much tighter and defined. I think pretty soon I will have a hard time hiding the fact that I'm supplementing.

I'm starting to feel a bit short tempered and irritable lately. This seems that it is a reaction stemming from the M1T.. I'm cutting my cycle a bit short and stopping at 3 weeks.. I definately noticed some great pumps and gain from the stuff though.

I found out last week, and again today just what the painful lower back pumps are all about. After doing 5 sets of squats I had to lay out on the damn floor my back was so tight. I sure makes it hard to get in a good back workout. I guess I will try doing deadlifts first, then go to an exercise that doesn't involve lower back so the pump will subside a bit.

That's from eating too much bacon Randy, not the M1T....

had some pretty bad back pain start today...maybe 20mg/day is causing my kidneys to react? I'm not sure..I only have 1 week left to go...

I am making gains pretty well, and I'm sure they would be better if I could get some good sleep. Sleep has been a problem for me for the last several months. Haven't figured out why yet.

My sex drive is almost completely gone.
I haven't seen my gf in 4 days. Normally, I would be going insane and craving sex. All week I haven't even given sex a thought. I don't like it. Maybe some 4-ad with my next cycle will help. I will give it a try.

The sides all in all aren't bad. For me it's been mild headaches occasionally at night. Very bad lower back pumps. And now a bit of lower back pain. Oh, and no sex drive. Heh, it's a tough price to pay, but now I understand why ppl may like 2 week cycles of M1T. 3 weeks is all I can handle for sure.

Uhhhhhhh Yeah!
You haven't been doing your homework very well by taking M1T without the proper stack.

Has anyone noticed their scalp itching while using M1T? I remember reading in another post that a person mentioned it. I get it pretty badly when I sweat.

I never had a scalp itch... I lost a few extra hairs on my head though. Prior to M1T I had never lost a single strand. And I am not balding either or at risk for balding..

The only side I had was increased aggression. I felt a bit short tempered and irritable. After the first 2-3 days off the cycle I could feel myself much less aggressive and irratable.

Now I don't recall anyone else complaining of those side affects. But I guess it just affects us all differently.

Also, and it's undeniable now, my ballz have this numb sensation all the time. Fortunately, I only have about 5 days left.
Anyone have that?

I still have not gained any more weight. I'm just 5lbs up. I can tell that I'm a tad bit leaner, so maybe I've put on 7lbs of lean mass over the last two weeks. This is pretty good considering I have had poor sleep.

Today, I feel very lethargic. I did a chest workout today, and didn't feel like lifting a damn thing. I had no energy for it. I could be overtrained, but I think it's that my test levels are so low that I've lost my aggression and energy. I have absolutely no libido. This all started near the end of week #2. So, I think that next time, I will run at 2 week cycle, or a 3 week cycle stacking with 4ad. I'm somewhat satisfied with the results. I was hoping for more, but 7lbs or more in 3 weeks, that's pretty damn good.

I finally got my before pictures posted. I think I look significantly better now. I'm up 7lbs, and I think I've lost as much as 3lbs of bodyfat. Let me know what you think.

Looking good Clint....

The only thing really that sticks out of proportion to me is your traps and neck. I think that if you built up your traps more and widened your neck just a bit it would be more in proportion. I am by far no professional here....Just trying to give you a non biased opinion. It seems like your delts are overcoming your traps. The delts look great, but I think your traps need to overpower your delts a bit... In other words it should be the other way around. Just do more shrugs and neck . But maybe I am totally off base here... Hopefully others will correct me if my perception is out of line here.

You have great development in the works though.
I need to work stongly on my back to get more of that V look.
I think posing means a lot too. If you know how to pose it really makes a difference on your photos. I need to learn that as well.
I know I have a long way to go. Especially in trimming my body fat.
