soul0wners quest with M-DRL

[soul0wner]

I'd like to thank Cheftepesh1 as well as Mind and Muscle for giving me the opportunity to run a log of M-DRL by Liquid Labs!! This will be my first PH cycle and I look forward to you all following along for the ride! I'll be running AI's Cycle Support while running M-DRL at 2 scoops a day, unless I can get away with a half scoop in the morning and a half scoop later at night. I have Form-XT for PCT, and might end up picking up some DAA and a test booster as well to go along with that.

I am a 27 year old male, 5'8" 155 pounds, not positive of my bodyfat %. I will be looking for a good recomp run with this, hoping for some gains while leaning out some more. I will be starting out at the minimal dose of 1mg, 4 times a day and go from there.

Will be running maintenance calories to see if I can add some size/mass.

As for my training, I am running Wendler's 5/3/1. Lifting 4 days a week, and sometimes throwing in a 5th day of extra accessory work. Aim for the recommended reps for my compounds, and 4-5 sets of 8-12 reps for my accessory work.

Pics to follow.
Other supplements while taking this will be creatine, fish oils, multi-vitamin, and BLR's Follidrone.

[N.Woods Giant]

Did they send you the form-XT?

 

[soul0wner]

[soul0wner]

Damn dude! 195x8!?! You weigh 155 right? Is that a strict ohp?

Unfortunately it's a machine press I have on my multi-station gym. My OHP wouldn't be that high I'm sure. And yes, 155.

 

[soul0wner]

Some starting noods, I was informed I should cut more. What do you think?

 

[N.Woods Giant]

No, go for bulk man!

 

[soul0wner]

No, go for bulk man!

That gut doe?

 

[N.Woods Giant]

That gut doe?

What gut? You're fine. You need to focus on putting on some more mass.

 

[soul0wner]

What gut? You're fine. You need to focus on putting on some more mass.

That's what I said, some guy on the other board was saying something about storing more as fat with higher bf%

 

[Peppers]

What gut? You're fine. You need to focus on putting on some more mass.

Agreed ^

You gotta get yourself a barbell bro!

I know, trust me. I've been pricing them out!

 

[LDubs]

What does the liquid taste like? Does it taste good?

 

[soul0wner]

What does the liquid taste like? Does it taste good?

Almost like a mint-ish mouthwash, sort of nasty.

 

[LDubs]

That's nice of liquid labs to keep ya fresh while your lifting lol

 

[soul0wner]

That's nice of liquid labs to keep ya fresh while your lifting lol

Haha for sure!

 

[soul0wner]

It doesn't seem like these bottles will last me 6-8 weeks. The first bottle is more than halfway gone and it'll only be a week on Saturday. Dosed 4 times Saturday, 6-8 each day from then on.

Yeah but hopefully you will get some good results from the 4 weeks you get out of the two bottles.

How much do you have left? Mine is disapearing quickly because I bumped up the dose to 10ml per day.

Still no results though...

Maybe a quarter of the way through the second bottle. And same here man with the no results. Still sitting at 8ml a day for now. I've been dosing 2ml at a time so I don't have to dose as much throughout the day.

 

[LDubs]

Disappointing to hear you are both seeing no noticeable results.

Squat Day. I planned on warming up with Leg extensions, and then finishing off with them as well. I got a shooting pain up my right quad while doing leg presses, so I tried lightening the weight a bit and I still had issues, so I cut it short. Hit some hammer curls just to keep a pump and sweat going. Not sure what is happening, first time I have felt this pain.

Well, attempted to hit shoulders today. Until I dropped a 25 pound plate on my toes. Did a couple lifts after that, but the pain was just too much. Update to follow.

 

[soul0wner]

PCT starts tomorrow, probably wont be lifting for a few days due to the toe.

 

[LDubs]

Any weight changes over this cycle? Strength gains? Do you appear to have leaned out at all?

I seem to have gained around 3 pounds or so. Could just be water weight from increased carbs. Strength kept going up though. Disappointing that 2 bottles only lasted less than a month.
