Holy Hell am I excited! This is going to be a fun run, and I can't wait.

Huge thank you to BigBlackGuy for selecting me to run an updated version of M1T. Based on my research I'm in for a pretty good ride. I've been tinkering with my cycle dosing but haven't settled on what I want to do yet, but if anyone has any suggestions throw them at me. Right now I'm looking at:

20/25/25/30
or maybe
20/25/30/35 (depending on how I feel week 3)
Thoughts?


Current stats:

200 lbs.
~12% BF
6' 1"

Bench PR 285
OHP PR 155
Squat PR 295
DL PR 425

Other Supps:
Fish Oil
Finaflex Stimul8
Finaflex BCAA/SAA
Dymatize Elite XT Protein
Multivite, 3x/day
LeCheek Cycle Armor
Body Fotress Liver Care
NOW Celery Seed
TUDKA on the way

PCT already in place:
Clomid
Olympus Labs SUP3ER PCT
Olympus Labs EL1MINATE ( for a little extra Arimistane)
Fish Oil for the Arimistane
D-Pol Caps

My training style is sort a PHAT style, but I run in month phases instead of weekly. Oct. has been a strength phase, so Nov. will be a hypertrophy phase, rep range 12 - 15. My split is as follows:

Quads/Calves
Chest/ Delts
Hams/Calves
Traps/Lats

I rarely do tris and bis. My compound work has sufficently kept my arms growing, but I may throw some curls and tri extensions in for sh!ts and giggles to take advantage of this cycle. I'm still currently at Planet Fitness but my home gym should be set up in the next week or so, I need to get out of that place. The douchebaggery and crappy form is killing me. I kept my diet pretty clean on my last cycle and was able to recomp pretty well, but with the cold weather setting in I think this is going to be pretty close to a straight up bulk. I'll try to keep it kind of lean but no promises.

Thanks for following along, and this is an open log so contribute anything and everything.

Bi and tricep work actually helped me out with my main lifts significantly. Your squat is only 10lbs bigger than your bench?

My current plan for m1t oxime: 40/40/40/5/5
I think I have a bottle stashed somewhere of m1t oxime so if I have that I will use it as well

I've had knee problems since college due to jump training and over doing it severely. It's hard for me to get to depth on squats with a ton of weight. I can heavy Smith Machine squat, but I don't count those. I've done 335 on a Smith, but it doesn't take as much all out effort as BB squats.

I may throw in some bi and tri work at the end of my upper body days, I do want to make the most of this run.

I figured it was based off of an injury or something along those lines, just making sure.

Yeah, I mean I used to not do any work for them because I felt like I was doing enough, but working them directly really does make a difference from I have seen.

I'll work them in then, see if I can get my compound movements to improve. Thanks Abe.

Yeah no problem, they are called accessory movements for a reason! Haha they supplement your main lifts.

I can't say I'm not neglecting my abs, I don't do direct ab work really as it just cramps me up like no other and feels like death haha. I just started adding in weighted crunches totally separate from my in gym time so won't cramp as bad

I'm on m1t-oxime right now, about 2 weeks in and starting to feel it/see changes (30mg per day, using m1t-o to cut with). Enjoy the cycle OP!

I started at 20, did 2 or 3 days on 20 (i don't quite remember lol), then bumped up to 25 for 5 days, and am now 5 days in at 30mg. Subtle changes visually so far, but I am definitely feeling the increase pump despite eating low/medium carbs daily. I'm up a couple of pounds, what seems to be glycogen. Not much in the way of strength, but I'm not expecting much of anything in terms of strength due to being on a cutting diet.

Any back pump issues? I started to get them on my last cycle but not until the last week of a 6 week run.

I recall blowing up 5lbs on just 15mg for 4 weeks, so that isn't bad at all, mostly lean tissue as well.

Never had back pumps, it seems that I don't get them on cycle (have ran a couple of methyl ph's). But, I am very susceptible to BP issues, and I get bad chest pains as well on cycle, especially if I run any kind of stimulant alongside. So if m1t-oxime doesn't kill me, it will probably be one of my last cycles until I finish out my stash, or find some way to alleviate the suspected heart/BP issues that anabolics cause me.

You sure you aren't taking anything else to elevate blood pressure? Preworkout? Caffeine? Stress? Too much sodium, not enough water? Taking proper on cycle support? Should buy bulk hawthorn berry extract and up the dose of that. Maybe check with the doc and see if you can prescription.

In to see how things go.

What other leg exercises you do? Leg press, hack squats? I'm guessing extensions give the knees problems

I can do extensions, but I have to go a little lighter with higher reps. My patellar tendons don't like heavy extenions. Smith Machine Hack Squats and leg presses are my staples right now. I did a full workout with strickly goblet squats while I was on vacation, and that had my quads sore for days, it was crazy. I'm going to work those into my routine now.

Even then I can't go heavy. At 6' 1" my limbs are a bit long so with a center of gravity that tends to be a little further away from my knee it puts a lot of stress on patellar tendons that have been beat to sh!t pretty badly. I was almost to the point in my mid 20's that I would need metal wires instered into my tendons to keep them from rupturing. I take a lot of time off from doing anything to keep that from happening. That's when my "chubby" days started.

I've been dosing 10 mgs. twice a day, but it's only been since Saturday, so not much to report yet, but I know it's coming. :veryhappy:

Quads and Calves

Volleyball is in full swing so I have to straddle that fine line of working my legs, but not so much that I can't play Thursday nights. I've been jumping very well, hitting high, and swining well so I don't wont to screw that up. Although on my last cycle I was jumping through the roof, so maybe on M1T I won't have to worry about that.

Warm up on recumbant for 5 mins., then Smith sqauts for 2 sets of 12 to warm up.

PAP Squats / Standing Smith Calf Raises
5 jumps, 185 x 3 / 135 x 15, BW x 10
5 jumps, 225 x 3 / 135 x 15, BW x 10
5 jumps, 185 x 3 / 135 x 15, BW x 10

Seated Leg Curls / Leg Exts. / Smith Seated Calf Raises
110 x 8 / 90 x 8 / 135 x 20
110 x 8 / 90 x 8 / 185 x 20
110 x 8 / 90 x 8 / 225 x 20

Leg extensions hurt, so I had to back off on the weight which pissed me off. Felt like my meniscus possibly, but hard to tell.

45 Deg. Leg Press / Leg Press Calf Raises to Seated Calf Raises
230 x 15 / 230 x 5, 185 x 10
320 x 12 / 320 x 5, 185 x 10
410 x 10 / 410 x 4, 185 x 8
410 x 5, 320 x 5, 230 x 5 / 410 x 5, 320 x 5, 230 x 5 (5 presses then 5 raises, then weight drop. I stopped the seated raises at this point)
320 x 5, 230 x 5, 140 x 10 / 320 x 5, 230 x 5, 140 x 10

PAP DB Squats / Standing DB Calf Raises
5 jumps, 75s x 3 / 55 x 16
5 jumps, 75s x 3 / 55 x 16

I could have kept going if I was trying to totally wreck my legs. Had to stop there though to make sure I would be good for Thursday. Tomorrow is chest and delts, looking forward to that!

Wasn't able to get in a workout yesterday, my girlfriend had a bunch of business people over a work meeting and it ran pretty late. I wasn't able to get up in time to workout before work.

Got a good one in this morning though. Needed to work hard today too. We went out for some killer Thai food last night, then after helping a friend move some furniture we got some Orange Leaf on the way home. Holy calorie overload Batman! Time for a serious @ss whooping today.

Still running 2 caps a day, 2 PWO or 2 in the a.m., then 2 more 6 hours later. On my 4th full day so far and haven't notice any major effects yet, but I do notice that I have some serious vascularity after only 2 warm up sets.

Chest and Delts

Warm ups were a struggle. I think lack of sleep (5 hours the night before, and 5.5 hours last night) is taking a bit of a physical toll.

Smith Incline BP / DB Thumbs Down Laterals, 1 minute rest
115 x 12 / 10s x 12
135 x 10 / 10s x 11
155 x 8 / 10s x 10
155 x 5, 135 x 4 / 10s x 10, 10s x 5 with lots of momentum

I hadn't done strict thumbs down laterals in a long time. I had forgotten how friggin hard they were and how much they burned. Elbow was aching again on the presses. Thinking I may have a mild case of golfer's elbow. I'll go through PT treatmenst I know for GE and see if I can get it healthy again.

Low Cable Underhand Flys / Smith Upright Rows, wide grip, 90 seconds rest
20s x 12 / 95 x 10
20s x 11 / 95 x 9
15s x 14 / 95 x 8, RP, 95 x 3
High Cable Flys 1 set of 20s x 13

I attempted DB OHP but that stung my elbow in good fashion so I moved on to the uprights instead.

Flat DB BP / 1 Arm Cable Laterals, alternating sides / Hangng Knee raises for TUT, 1 minute rest
60s x 11 / 10 x 5, 5, 4, 4/ 12
55s x 10 / 10 x 5, 5, 4, 4/ 12
50s x 11 / 10 x 5, 5, 4, 4/ 12

My chest was feeling fried at this point which is odd because normally I have another round of heavy exercises to go at this point. I'm going to have to make it a point to get some serious sleep tonight.

Burn Outs:

Incline DB Flys to Incline Hex Press / Lateral Iso Holds / Hanging Knee Raises, extremely slow release, no rest
25s x 5, 8 / 10s x 15 seconds / 12
25s x 5, 7 / 10s x 14 seconds / 12
25s x 5, 6 / 10s x 12 seconds / 12

Since I didn't feel like I had worked my shoulders enough I went for one last killer set.
DB Upright Rows, Run the Rack
60s x 5, 55s x 5, 50s x 5, 45s x 5, 40s x 5, 35s x 7

Taurine: Everyday or only on workout days? This is the first time I've ever had back pump/cramping issues on cycle.

Yeah, back pumps are an issue for a lot of people on cycle. 1,000 mgs. Taurine 3 times a day is the typical dosing but I can't remember if it's everyday or just workout days.
