Just another basic pmag log

I started this log on another forum butI think I might get some more useful responses here.

Notes:
* I am using Lock Out Supplements PMAG 25.

* I’m 25 and have been training for close to 9-10 years natural (protein and creatine only). I’m 6’2 and fluctuate between 180 and 185. I’m a major hardgainer with a TINY frame (29 inch waist, 7.5 inch ankles, etc.) so I’ve always had to flood the calories. 2500-3k is what I normally eat so I’ll be adding in about 500 more. I last measured my bodyfat (electronically) in February and I was 6.9% (I don’t really care how scientifically accurate it is, I just use it to mark progress). This is my first cycle and I’m hoping to put on a little raw mass but I’m mainly interested in improving my problem areas. I’ve finally figured out what works for growing my arms so that’s the area I’m hoping to improve on most.

* I injured my shoulder several years ago, which oddly enough took most of its toll on my leg training (inability to hold the barbell for squats etc.). My legs are a weak point but they really need more time to catch up. The point of this cycle is to advance other areas. If I remain disciplined my legs have a lot more developing to do. They aren’t that disproportionate in size and have progressed quickly.

* My gym doesn’t have any 7 foot Olympic Barbells or a squat rack or bench press stations. Feels bad man, but I’m versatile enough to get the most of what I have. Heavy dumbbells, curl bars, machines, and a cable cross. I am really only missing the barbell bench press, tbar row, and squat. With my work and family schedule, this is the only gym I can get to regularly so it is what I have to use. I workout at 6:30am.

* My goals in this cycle are to gain about 8lbs of keepable mass and to increase my upper arm size. As far as PH use, I’m more or less interested in attaining a level of mass that is sustainable off-cycle with proper diet and training (of course). I have no competitive ambition so it’s really about the look and some curiosity for me. If and when I reach my overall goal, I might consider a different outlook. I’m not looking to PH/DS to facilitate overambition but to be a tool in a much larger project.

I waited until my preload phase was over to begin this log so I could post numbers from the last week as a jumping off point. I will be dosing 50/75/75/75/75/75, but I may increase the doses in the latter weeks depending on how I'm feeling.

o No issues at all. Back and Shoulder day is one of my favorite workouts so I always enjoy it a little more (I love all workouts though). I am starting to notice that my appetite is starting to ramp up. Even when I was natural, I looked forward to that feeling.

is it too soon to increase to 75 or should I finish out the week at 50. I feel fine, but I know it doesn't really kick in until week 3 or so. Do I get a harder or earlier kick at a higher dose?

Looks pretty decent, but as a non-hardgainer, I was getting 4-4,500 calories on a lean bulk cycle. You should try and up them some. Eat like it is your second and third jobs. greek yogurt (unflavored) is a godsend, quality "natural" protien bars (not the superbly processed crap) are helpful, but don't rely on them or shakes for gaining mass. Canned meats help. Eliminate as much cardio as possible. Increasing early only increases the chances of negative sides.

Thanks. Somehow I don't think the calories are going to be a problem. I got hungry as hell this evening in a good way. I wasnt expecting it this earky though. A can of tuna sounds great right now actually. It's the in between meals I have to figure out. I'm lactose intollerant so many of the calorie dense nutrient rich foods we use are a challenge for me. The pasta/rice and meat thing has always been a breeze, but snacks. What a kick in the pants.

When you say negative sides do you mean like not gaining weight or like back pumps etc.?

back pumps are easy to deal with, i don't really consider them "sides" as 3g taurine 40 minutes pre-workout eliminates them 99% of the time.

i'm talking extra stress on your liver and lipids.

beef jerky is a good (albeit not cheap) snack.

So far, I can definitely feel my appetite and libido picking up. My appetite hit really hard this afternoon. It was really unexpected. I ate two cans of tuna and a half a box of granola bars just to hold myself over for an hour between meals. Damn PMAG, this is going to be interesting.

This was a good end of my first week on cycle. I felt sort of irritable yesterday but I think it was more hunger related than hormonal. I generally feel normal. I haven't had any back/shin pumps or bp related effects. My water intake has been pretty good as well. My skin has been a little more oily than usual, but nothing too major. I had a good trip to the grocery store yesterday to stock up. It's funny how much we put into buying ancillaries, but no one ever publishes a grocery list.

My hunger wasn't too bad today. I think the combined effect of waking up early and working out first thing in the morning kick starts my metabolism to overdrive by noon. Off days aren't as chaotic. I did notice a euphoric/stimulated feeling shortly after I took my last dose, almost like a rush of caffeine. I'm not sure if its bp related, if I should increase my water intake or what bit it was strange; not good or bad. It went away after about a half hour. Seems like the flip side to irritability.

One thing of note is that I realized that I need to bring face pulls back into my program, so that will be happening this week. I can't wait to feel this stuff really kick in. Right now I feel hungry as hell all the time. Are all other compounds like this or is it only some?

I'm feeling pretty good today. I got a little bit of that head rush feeling today after taking my first support supps, which makes me think its just the HB messing with my BP a little. It's nothing severe, just a weird feeling. Tomorrow I start dosing at 75mg. Should I take two in the morning and one in the evening or vice versa?

Also, can I take my support supps all at once or do they need to be spread into 2 separate dosages?

I think you should keep both dosages seperate. 50mg Pmag in morning & 25 mg in the afternoon.
Same with supports, but you need to keep the supports & Pmag seperated around 4 hours.
Example: PMAG 8 am, Supports @ Noon, PMAG @ 4pm, Do your workout, Supports after 8 pm.
Im started running my first PH yesterday with Mechabol, & am running my dosage similar to yours.
Im also a lockout guy ;)

Really. That's interesting with the staggered dosages. I'll try it tomorrow. I had assumed that since the half life was 12 hours that I should take pmag dosages 12 hours apart.

Also, are lock out ph known to be legit? I didn't see anything about bad quality anywhere but it's nice to hear it from someone else more experienced.

bro-science has anecdotedly shown decreased effectiveness of methylated compounds when consumed within 4 hours of liver support.

But you can take both doses 12 hours apart, just a long as you dont take liver support with the 4 hours in before/after.
Yeah, Lockout is legit dude. Rarely ever hear of bad this from there. Im not ALL that experienced in PH though, just been doing ALOT of reading in different forums & on the internet the last year or so.

NonyaBidness- has your weight increased much? What are your macros like? (40P/40C/20F)?

I will weigh myself tomorrow. My macros are looking like what you posted as well (40P/40C/20F). This stuff has me so hungry that just trying to keep up with my appetite is making me eat what I need. Looks like I'm gonna run out of protein powder though. I struggle most with the protein intake though, but mainly because I'm always trying to find more protein to eat. I never really put much thought into the carbs or fats, but I'm paranoid about protein.

Hehe, if nothing else, I'll be heavier just from all the extra food in my system. I have noticed myself looking a bit more cut than usual though. It could be the increased hunger.

My appetite really sucked last night and this morning, and my workout was an uphill battle. I think it's stress from work though. Hopefully, it will pass.

I'm in the 6th week of pmag. Good stuff. But to who ever said Greek yogurt is nasty I agree. I put it in my protein shakes to help get it in. Just a helpful hint.

Your macros look good. Im always worried about not getting enough protein too. I try to get it with food, but I need about 3 shakes a day to at least reach my daily goal. I cant wait for my cycle to really kickin...only been 3 days. LOL

o I didn't have much energy this morning for my workout or much of an appetite. I posted earlier from the leg press machine. I don't know that I feel lethargic so much as I feel a bit distracted/stressed from work. My appetite is the first thing to go when I get stressed. I've been kind of forcing myself to eat though, and I forced my way through my workout. When I got home, I crashed out on my living room floor for an hour or so before heading off to work. Despite my state of being, I did manage to move more weight than last week, and I noticed my arms were looking bigger and more vascular. I still weigh 180 but I think I'm still headed in the right direction. I also spaced on my first cycle assist dose, so I'll just skip it and keep it moving.

Perhaps I need DHEA or is this just a bad day?

I would suggest more Carbs & calories into your diet to help with lethargy.
Especially an hour or so before your workout.
Add some oats, peanut butter & a banana into your blender with the protein shake.
After your workout get some FOOD in you.

Undercarbing could be an issue. I'll try to get some carbs preworkout too. I normally have a shake and go since I train so early in the morning and don't want to wake my daughter on the way out. I might need to blend the night before.

I got through my meals ok today. One thing I'm thinking is that since whey can be an appetite suppressant, it mmight be throwing my appetite off since I take it before my workout (grab n go). I might need to eat some cereal or something and have the whey when I get back.

I add a scoop of whey protein into my Cheerios sometimes @ breakfast, even add it into my oatmeal.
Whey protein in Greek yogurt doesn't help.
Cottage cheese with strawberries or blueberries is good!

I felt a lot better today thanks to more carbs. I think I might have tried to overdo it with the protein and wound up decieving myself into cutting the carbs. I didn't make it to the gym this morning because my daughter is sick. I will try to go this evening. Otherwise, I might just double up. I basically do a full body split followed by a second arm day since that's my number one priority on this cycle. Missing the extra arm day one time won't make too big a difference I don't think.

I took 25mg of pmag this morning and then had my CA 4 hrs later. I wanted to try taking the 50mg before my workout this evening (if I get to). It probably isn't a good idea to flip the dosages around like that though.

I dont think it would matter switching the dosages. As long as you can fall asleep later, you should be fine.

Day 16 and 17:

I did back and shoulders last night and chest and hams this morning. I felt good and my appetite seems to be ok. I did mostly the same weights as last time, but got some more reps here and there. The only thing out of the ordinary is that I'm getting a little allergy related congestion, but that has nothing to do with pmag.

Im thinking I might rock 100mg a day from this coming Wednesday on out since 75 doesn't feel any different than 50 for me. I haven't had any sides (back pumps, etc). Not even a pimple as of yet - knock on wood.

I do have a question about diet though. I've read before that your body can only metabolize so much protein per hour. Is that true when you're on ph/ds as well?

Day 18:

I did my second arm workout with calfs, fore, and abs. I got a little more weight on my arms and did some fst7 with bench dips at the end. It felt great. Next week, I'll probably do the fst7 sets with cable extensions. I'm thankful that my appetite is better today too. It's not as epic as it was a week ago, but its consistent and allows me to feel energetic, which is a good indication. I'm guessing that I've gotten a bit better at maintaining blood sugar levels with my meal frequency and greater attention to carbs.

I'm not sure how much protein you can metabolize, but I'm usually have a minimum of 35-40 per meal. As long as you reach your macros ....that's my goal!

So I'm planning on running nolva 20/20/10/10 with daa. Should I also use anti-estrogen and cortisol stuff? I've read a few conflicting things about AIs causing estrogen rebound and others saying they prevent them. As far as cortisol, how significant an issue is it?

Im not sure how big of an issue it is, PMAG is a mild PH.
Im running Mechabol (Clostebol), which is what PMAG converts to.....so my PCT looks like this:
Tamoxifene 20/20/10/10
Purus Labs: Recycle & D-Pol
BPI: SOLID
CEL: Cycle Assist & Supplements

Hope this helps ya out.

Thanks for recommending Recycle. I hadn't researched it before but it seems like a decent product. There are a million and one OTC products out there for PCT and none of them stack up to SERMs in terms of necessity. It seems like a lot of what we're paying for is peace of mind more so than results.

How are you liking Mechabol? I'm trying to figure out how it would be for a second cycle as opposed to dmz. I know it's related to SD but is supposedly less harsh on the body. I'm thinking more in terms of toxicity. I'd rather not poison myself.

How are you liking Mechabol? I'm trying to figure out how it would be for a second cycle as opposed to dmz. I know it's related to SD but is supposedly less harsh on the body. I'm thinking more in terms of toxicity. I'd rather not poison myself.
Im still waiting for Mechabol to really kick in, just started up to 75mg yesterday. If I dont feel anything late this week bumping up to 100mg.
Im thinking the same way you are, in the middle of a cycle & already thinking about the next. LOL
I already have a bottle of Pro-Stanivar (15mg SD & 25mg Hdrol) at home, thinking about that after or HAVOC (EPI).

Yeah, it's funny how much we build aas/dh up with all the "natty or not" threads on the forums. The answer is that nobody gives a phuck except teenage guys who think muscle = girls. Once I took that first pill, I was like "ya know, it's all fair game now." I'd go for Epi for a second cycle without hesitation except I'm not really interested in cutting, which is what it supposedly excells at. As far as bulkers go, dzine seems promising as did Ultradrol (until I read a company rep saying that it's not much different than superdrol in terms of the toll it takes on the body, not necessarily what you feel). I'm hoping dzine is more mild. For the level of risk that comes with sd, I'd rather pin. If only I had a source :(.

I did notice today that my hair seems to be thinning or maybe the texture is a little different. I happened to run my hands over my head and noticed that my normally curly hair felt kind straight and had less volume on the back of head than up top. It may be nothing (paranoia), but I thought I'd post. I haven't noticed any hair in the sink when I brush or when I shower. None of the areas of my hair that seem different are in areas commonly associated with mpb. My hairline and crown areas are totally fine. I keep a very close hair cut and I'm due for a buzz so it won't be too much an issue. Will it go back to how I remember it after cycle or is this the new normal for me?

I just asked on some other boards, we'll see if anything develops. I'm leaning toward PES Erase, but I'm more concerned about estrogen rebound in taking any sort of estrogen suppressor. Something that inhibits binding and uptake seems like the way to go, but im not sure.

Also, my hair seems fine this morning. Probably a false alarm.

Brraking news on the diet front though. I was in the grocery store last night and found some yoplait lactose free yogurt. I ate a cup last night. If everything goes fine with it, I will have found a good calorie dense snack. Its amazing how having trouble with dairy products means that there are very few protein-rich calorie-dense foods you can eat as snacks. Meals are ok, but it's hard to beat 6oz or yogourt at 200 calories and 5g or protein when bulking. It didn't even feel like I ate anything after it was gone.

Day 19 and 20:

Off

Everything is fine. The hair thing was a bit of a false alarm. TBH, I was laying on my sofa first so my hair was a little flattened out. If I wasn't on PMAG, I wouldn't have noticed or cared. Tomorrow I will start 100mg a day. I'm excited. I will be doing 100mg a day until I run out of pills basically. That would leave me with a 5 week cycle. Would it be better to stay at 75 for another week and extend it to 6 weeks or do a higher dose for 5 weeks?

I'm gonna do another wk at 75 and then move to 100 next week until I'm out of pills. There's no sense in ramping up now when the kick won't happen for another week or so anyway. I don't actually need the additional hormones now.

Yea stick it out 1 more week at 75 thys what im going o do most likely.. I have enuf pillls to ramp up to 125 right nownif i wanted but.. I dnt wanna overdo it so ill prob stick it out thru week 3 at 75... Then week 4 100 week 5 100 week 6 125
Making it 50/75/75/100/100/125

Like i said in my log all ive noticed so far was a little thinning out in the stomach but that could also be because of better diet and more cardio

Idk it could also be because im looking in the mirror everyday so i dont notice the changes, but im going to post some before pics i havent had time to get on my comp, hbu nonya? Ds u take before pics??

Day 21: off, no problems

Day 22: arms and quads
I'm up 3 pounds (hooray) and all my weights went up 5-10. I worked up to 275 on the Smith CGBP. As I mentioned in my first post, I go by what smith machine weights look like since they're all different and aren't comparable to a barbell in any way. In real world pounds, it's probably like 245 but that still doesn't really transfer over to a real bar.

Hit a diet snafu. I was about to bump up from protein to weight gainer but when I went to the Vitamin Shoppe, they didnt have a single one that was lactose free. The had cyctogainer, which I've used in the past, but the labeling is now different and there isnt anything about lactose anymore. What gives? When they changed the packaging, did they also change the formula? Does anybody know of another brand of lactose free weight gainer?

I dnt think spending money on a weight gainer is worth it bro they last like 2 weeks at most and are rlly expensive..
I say grab a whey protein and make your own weight gainer

You can throw honey / oats / peanut butter / olive oil / milk / protein && so much more into a blender and bam nice homemade weight gainer

I was thinking the same but I'd have to play around with recipes to find something I like. I liked the cyctogainer because it was just 4 scoops in water before and after each workout, no real prep work. I think I'll be ok if I just rather other stuff rather than blend it. The honey is a good idea though. I hadnt thought of that.
