My M1T cycle

[SpecialK117]

This is a basic cycle, 10mg M1T ED for 4 weeks, followed by 4 weeks of nolva, 40/40/20/20 mg ED. This is my first PH cycle. My stats are:

age: 22
height: 6'
weight: 208
bf: 8-10% range

I'd like to consider myself an ecto overall, so if any ecto's out there are pondering an M1T cycle, hopefully my thread will be of some use. I'm using Omega Sports brand M1T. My first pill was taken today. My workout is posted below, along with the previous week's numbers for easy comparison.

EDIT: Oh yea, I am prone to MPB, so here is my hairloss prevention stack:

nizoral 2% EOD
minox 5% 2x ED
spiro 5% 2x ED
az. acid 5% 2x ED
finasteride 1.25 mg ED

If I still lose hair then I don't think I'll ever try another PH again. Unless I end up losing my hair anyway, in which case it won't matter anymore...

WORKOUT

Seated Military Press: 4x165, 2x165

DB Side Raises: 8x25, 8x30

Rear Delt Raises: 8x40, 8x40

Shrugs: 6x275, 6x280, 6x280

Last Week's Numbers:

Military Press: 6x160, 5x165

DB Side Raises: 8x25, 7x30

Rear Delt Raises: 8x40, 8x40

Shrugs: 6x275, 6x275, 6x275

Military press was a disaster. On the first set, I just didn't have enough energy to complete more than 4 reps. On the second set, 2nd rep, I hit the rack with the bar on the way down, which totally screwed everything up and I had to quit. I blame the poor strength on military press on the swimming I did last night. It really fatigued my arms, and I guess they didn't quite recover enough for a shoulder workout. Guess I won't be swimming like that again for awhile.

I'm not feeling anything at all from the M1T yet, but then again it's only been 1 day. I don't really expect to see or feel any different until next week at the earliest, based on what I've been reading.

TUESDAY: Legs

Squats: 6x280, 6x280, 4x280

BB Lunges: 6x135/leg, 6x135/leg

Ham Curls: 8x110, 7x125, 6x125

Last Week's Numbers:

Squats: 6x275, 6x275, 6x275

BB Lunges: 6x135/leg, 6x135/leg

Squats were up today, but nothing that can't be attributed to natural gains. I need to stop worrying about the M1T and just give it some time. I might have been able to go heavier on lunges, but I'm trying to play it safe with those. One wrong move could result in a bad ankle injury. I also did some ham curls, but I am at a different gym and the machines are entirely different, so the weights aren't really comparable. I just did a few sets with a challenging weight. Weight this morning was 209, up 1 pound from yesterday, which could be attributed to any number of factors besides the M1T. Yes, I'm a skeptic when it comes to PH's.

Don't be afraid to up the dosage a bit if you're not responding. At your body weight you could do 15 to 20mgs, though I would try to keep it as low as possible. If you don't respond to the 10, go for the 15. It makes all the difference for some people.

How long should I give it before upping the dosage? 1 week? That seems to be the length of time it takes most to start noticing something, from what I've read around here. Also the Omega Sports brand are packaged as capsules, not tabs, so I would have to go up in 10mg increments, as cutting one of those in half really wouldn't be feasible.

[UNDERTAKER]

yeah a week to a week and a half. then up it to 15mg ed

[ryansm]

Keep it at ten. M1t is not a ph it's a highly effective steroid, if you don't see any type of weight increase, or strength increase than you may just be a non-responder. 10mgs is plenty, my last m1t cycle I weighed 290, and 10mgs was more than enough for me to grow. You can't expect to honestly see anything after one day. One week is not a good gauge either, your weight should increase some, but most including myself saw significant strength gains in the second week, so give it time.

My low back felt very uncomfortable the entire workout, starting with my first warmup set of deads. I don't really know how to describe it, it's not really pain, but just very uncomfortable. I had to rest a long time between some warmup sets. On the other hand, I saw some nice increases in every lift except barbell curls, but even those felt easier than last week, I just didn't have enough left to get any extra reps. Also barbell rows don't look much more impressive than last week, but my form was a lot better. Weight this morning was 212. Hmm, a 3 lb increase from yesterday morning. Could be due to the M1T, then again I did eat a really late meal last night, so maybe it was that.

[UNDERTAKER]

people commonly report back pain while on m1t, so this feeling your getting might become full blown pain.

Well I've actually been noticing this feeling for a long time now when I do deadlifts, so I'm not sure if the M1T has anything to do with it. I just thought I'd report it in my log anyway though.

THURSDAY: Chest/Tris

Bench: 6x245, 5x250

Tri Cable not comparable because the machines are different

Some nice strength increases today, but again, nothing that couldn't be attributed to normal progression. The only odd thing is that I was 215 when I woke up today. The M1T is definitely doing something. Also the boys have shrunk already, which bothers me just a little bit, even though I know they will return after I run PCT...

[SpecialK117]

Cable Crunches: 12x80, 12x80, 12x80

Swiss Ball Crunches: 11x25, 8x25

Last week's numbers not posted because the equipment was different. Well I guess the swiss ball crunches are the same, but they actually went down this week, hmmm...

Today I weighed 217, this is crazy. I've gained 9 lbs in 5 days. I know it's probably all water, but I don't look bloated or anything. I'm just wondering why there have been no big strength increases. Hopefully next week...

[SpecialK117]

Weight this morning was 218. Libido is up somewhat.

Seated Military Press: 4x165, 2x165

DB Side Raises: 8x25, 8x30

Rear Delt Raises: 8x40, 8x40

Shrugs: 6x275, 6x280, 6x280

I've had it with the military press at this gym I'm at. They don't have a dedicated military press chair like my old gym did, so I was using the power rack plus a chair to do it. The only problem is that this setup is really awkward because the power rack is angled (hard to explain in words) which makes me waste a lot more energy balancing the weight than I did at my school's gym. I think I will do DB shoulders next week.

Weight this morning was 221.5. So I have gained 12.5 lbs in a week from the M1T, but no strength. Hmm, maybe I'll bump it up to 20mg ED if I see no significant gains tomorrow on leg day.

Libido was somewhat less than it was a couple days ago, but still up. I had some lethargy today but I can't say for sure it was from the M1T.

[SpecialK117]

It's been so hard to eat dinner since I started this. I eat dinner about 1hr after my workout, and I have no appetite whatsoever, and today I felt really nauseous during dinner and almost threw up. Not good...

I normally don't have a huge appetite after I workout anyway, but this has been even worse.

[SpecialK117]

TUESDAY: Legs

Squat: 6x280, 6x280, 6x280

Some leg press sets and some ham curl sets, I wasn't strictly keeping track of the weight though

Last Week's Numbers:

Squat: 6x280, 6x280, 4x280

Squats felt good, but I developed a very uncomfortable feeling in my low back after my last set and had to rest a long time before attempting leg press. I felt very lethargic before the workout, and still have yet to experience a big strength boost from the M1T. I think I will start taking my M1T right before bed, maybe that way I can sleep through the lethargic feeling. Weight this morning was 219. I'm still debating whether or not to increase the dosage to 20mg ED since I still have yet to experience a big strength gain.

[SpecialK117]

WEDNESDAY: Back/Bis

Deadlift: 6x330, 6x335, 6x340

Barbell Rows: 6x185, 6x190

Pullups: 8xBW, 9xBW

Barbell Curls: 6x115, 4.5x120 (almost had that 5th one...)

DB Curls: 6x55, 6x60

Last Week's Numbers:

Deadlift: 6x320, 6x325

Barbell Rows: 6x185, 6x185

Pullups: 8xBW, 6xBW

Barbell Curls: 6x115, 4x120

DB Curls: 6x55, 6x60

I made some good progress on deads, but whenever I do them, my lower back starts feeling extremely tight, which is very uncomfortable. It's not pain, it just feels like right along my waist, everything is extremely tight, like I need to be streched out on a rack or something. If I wait about 5 minutes without lifting, it goes away completely. It's also really tight when I first wake up, but after taking a hot shower and stretching it a bit it feels better. I'm not sure what's going on. Overall this workout took way too long because of me waiting around between lifts for this feeling to go away. Good progress on BB rows too, I probably could've gone heavier, but didn't want to sacrifice form. I almost had a 5th rep on barbell curls at 120, but just couldn't quite get it. 6x60 with DB curls didn't feel too bad though, I probably could've gotten 4x65. Pullups felt pretty good today too, and I have made good progress on those, considering I now weigh 219. Maybe these gains are due to the M1T. Either they are very good natural gains or very weak M1T gains. Weight this morning was 219.

Today was a really good workout. I definitely felt stronger on all lifts. I could've gone a little heavier on bench and incline, but I do a low volume routine and didn't want to add more sets just to see how high I could go. Overall a good workout. Again, it's either really good natural gains, or somewhat weak M1T gains (from what I've read). I'm still debating whether or not to increase to 20mg ED. Also I'm having really annoying pains in my forearms right along the bone. I call them forearm shin splints and have got them before. Before they were only bothering me on BB curls, but now they hurt on bench, incline, and dips as well. Every other time they have gone away on their own and I haven't had to stop training or anything, but they sure are annoying. My back also felt somewhat uncomfortable after this workout, just really tight like yesterday. Weight was 220.


Also yesterday PWO I felt extremely tired and had to lay down for awhile. My appetite also completely disappears until about 1-2 hrs PWO.

[SpecialK117]

Argh, just about threw up my dinner again tonight. Its weird, the feeling comes out of nowhere, lasts a few minutes, then goes away completely.

FRIDAY: Abs/Calves

Seated Calf Raises: 8x4 plates+35, 8x4 plates+35, 7x4 plates+35, 6x4 plates+35

Machine crunches not included because I substituted them for Swiss Ball crunches this week.

This workout was OK, no big strength increases or anything. I decided to up the M1T to 20mg ED. If I get bad sides I'll back down to 10mg. I probably won't be doing another cycle for quite awhile so I want to make the most of this one.
