M1T/CKD Cycle

[Swanson52]

Alright, based on the advice and information I have gotten from here and CKD, I am going to use the Keto diet along with a cycle of M1T. I will post my measurements later on today, and will take progress pics today and at the conclusion of a 3 week cycle.

What I hope to accomplish PERSONALLY: I am going to try and lean bulk. I'm already a fatazz, so I don't want to add any more fat if I don't have to. I don't know what to expect from the M1T, so we'll see.

What I hope to accomplish with this JOURNAL: Hopefully someone can benefit from seeing the CKD along with M1T, honest results, and a fair and impartial evaluation of the PH itself. I have not taken a PH for at least a year, and I don't intend to change anything about my workout, other supplementation, or diet. Ideally someone else can benefit from what I evaluate.

Here's how things look right now, generally. Like I said, I will get specific measurements later on today.
6'3"
285 (today)@19.2% bf (measured last thu or fri).
I haven't maxed with either bench or squat in several months, but here are the lifts I used for the 1 rep sets while on the Power Matrix
Bench: 385-theoretical max of 425 (according to PM chart)
Squat: 425-theoretical max of 455
Deadlift: 545-actual max. Pulled it ~10 days ago
Some typical lifts for me would include:
Incline DB Press-130x10 (heaviest weights in the gym )
BW Pullups-290 (BW) x8
Box Squat-365x3

You get the idea. Just trying to be as comprehensive as possible. I will post my routine, diet, and supplementation this evening after the day is concluded. Please feel free to ask, evaluate, critcize, or whatever else. I am aware no one here is doing anything but trying to help.

Chest

Incline DB Press
100x12
130x7-failure

Flat DB Bench (R/P)

Also did 10 minutes pre and post workout cardio (light intensity)

Supplemented with:
1.5g potassium
700 mg ALA
20 mg M1T
Multivitamin
Vit. C
Biotin
2g calcium
12g creatine
20g glutamine
This should remain constant, just wanted to throw it in there. I will be adding the magnesium and milk thistle tomorrow, just didn't get to the store today.

Not a bad workout, but my diet was a tad off, as I didn't wake up until almost noon, so I have had to cram. Need to get my workout right, then everything should be smooth thereafter.
