I rarely win anything (material), so I was excited to be selected to log as one of the "Dirty Dozen". I'd like to thank @wicked442, @djbombsquad, and Ageforce for hosting the forum and their generosity

If you have not heard of this product it is a transdermal (medication/active ingredient administered through skin) patch. The information can be found at www.ageforce.com. It's a well written website, scientific in nature, but easy to read and understand. You can find links to all of their products, formulas, research behind the products, etc. at the top of their page.
Below is the formula from their site for the HGH Maximize Scretagogue that will be logged.
-MK-677 40mg – Developed specifically for the treatment of age-related GH deficiency, MK-677 is among the best-researched GH secretagogues on the market. Its excellent safety profile that has been established in a dozen of peer-reviewed clinical trials, and its uniquely long effect on the pulsatile release of growth hormone make MK-677 the ideal baseline for HGH Maximize.
-Ipamorelin 1000mcg – The newly developed, highly specific growth hormone secretagogue is the number one in the top-lists of scientists, physicians and athletes who are using or abusing growth hormone secretagogues for various purposes. While it is structurally similar to GRHP-2, GHRP-6 or Hexamorelin it shares only the potency, yet not the side effects of these relatively unspecific “first generation” growth hormone secretagogues. Practically speaking this means: no hunger pangs, tiredness, and no water retention due ghrelin, cortisol and ACTH.
-CJC-1295 1000mcg – If you think of MK-677 and Ipamorelin as the trigger on a HGH containing bomb, CJC-1296, the best-researched GHRH analog on the market, would be the dynamite that ensures that the explosion or, to get back to the real world, the GH release blows you away. Studies show increases of 100% and more in both peak and mean GH levels when secretagogues are co-administered with CJC-1295.
-Arginine 7.5mg, lysine 7.5mg, ornithine alpha ketoglutarate 10mg, GABA 8mg – Although all four are proven GH boosters, and their efficacy depends on direct delivery into the bloodstream

A few weeks back, I posted my stats on the Dirty Dozen promotion and stated that I was going to do a 5X5.... if I was selected to log. I've changed my mind to continue lifting light with high volume throughout this log. The only change will be going heavier once a week, for a couple sets, to see if I had any strength gains from the prior week. I'll base that weeks max lifts using a rep to max calculator.
The main reason for changing the workout plans that I posted on "DD" is that I want to know for myself, and to give anyone who reads this, a indisputable review of what the patch does for me. If I changed my routine dramatically, then it could be disputed that any changes were from something other than the patch. My diet will remain the same, and I will not be taking any other supplements during this 60 days (with exception of protein post workouts). I also have a nagging back injury and don’t want to further the damage with heavy lifting.
Personal information
I'm 40 years old (60 yo vertebra, usually 13 yo mind) - 6'3" and 230 lbs - Guessing 15ish% body fat. I took beginning pictures. I will post them at the end if there is noticeable change.
For my 40th birthday I received great news!..... MRI results of arthritis, and degeneration of disks throughout my spinal column. Icing on the birthday cake, a couple bulged disks...Yay to getting older! I took about 5 months completely off thinking it would help, it didn't. I overhauled my diet dramatically in this time and lost 30 lbs of mainly beer/cheeseburger belly. Of course some muscle was lost as well.
My two main compound movements have always been back squats and bench press. Prior to injury these lifts were always hovering around (using rep to max calculator) 360 bench (315X5 on fourth set), and squat 540 (405X10). Currently I have only been lifting low weight with higher reps. I pushed heavier weight two days ago when I received the patch. Current bench 321 (225X12) and squat 367 (275X10). These two lifts should be sufficient to base any strength gains from. I don't care to read every workout that someone does, blah, blah to me (personal opion only). So I will not do that here. I will keep a log with accessory movements as well and report any notable changes.
Hopeful for
I don't have unrealistic goals. This is a two month run, which from what I've read, even if I was pinning peptides wouldn't produce huge results. #1 want to see that it works so I can make a future order for continued use. #2 any back relief would be a Godsend! #3 If I can trim a bit of fat, while adding lean muscle, that would be groovy.
Tired of talking/typing now!
Got a little wordy here! From here on out it'll mainly be facts and fart joke humor from me. That's my normal modus operandi, <---with the occasional $3 word.
Of course any questions and comments are welcome, good, bad, or indifferent. The word "I" is used here a lot, because I am writing this about my results. However, this is my debt paid to Ageforce for the free goodies and opportunity. So more theirs than mine! If you're taking the time to read it, then you are participating, so it's as much your log as it is mine.
This will be an 100% honest review. I'm always a skeptic until proven otherwise. However, with constant advancements with science and medicine, I am also optimistic. There are many medicines, and other compounds, being delivered via transdermal patches. Besides, why would Ageforce give out a bunch of free products, to be critiqued to a crowd of potential customers, if their product was bogus? Anyhow, my fingers are crossed.
Hopefully we can learn from one another, and more importantly have fun doing this. Cuz if it isn't fun, I don't partake many times!
