M1A for recomp?

Hey all,

Recently picked up some M1A and really interested trying it. It seems it puts on muscle mass super quick from what a have found, and seems to be more wet? I don't like doing massive bulking cycles, but prefer to stay around the same weight and recomp.

Has anyone tried using M1A for a recomp cycle? I've been cutting pretty hard for the past two months (got a little chunky with quarantine/gym closed/school being overwhelming) and feel like I'm at a good place to do another cycle finally.

235lbs, around 14-16% bf according to bw scale.. Haven't tested maxes recently, but squat is still 400-425lbs,, bench is 275lbs, and dead is 500lbs.

Would probably use it alongside test P at 300mg/wk for 8 weeks. M1A at 45mg would be for first 4 weeks, maybe 6 if feeling ok and bloods are acceptable level. Hcg on cycle of 500ius/wk.
Standard PCT to follow of Nolva for 4 weeks.
Plenty of on cycle support.
Thoughts?

sounds good bro. Looking forward to seeing you pushing crazy big weight again soon. While you’ve been on your downtime I’ve been trying to catch up 😂
 
Hi ! I’m not a big fan of recomping I think cutting down to desired % bf and then going on a surplus for lean gains is simply more optimal. I’d use that cycle on a surplus instead and would cruise on a low test dose or something. But yeah no reason m1a wouldn’t be suited for recomping. It’s a strong drug and would work quite well

Ya where I still want to have kids, it kind of takes the whole cruising dose out of the equations for now. I think I'm leaning more towards I slight surplus, but with nutrition timing and cardio for the "recomp" affect. It's hard when I only get so many cycles a year because by the time I get to the point I'm ready to cycle I'm not cut enough to where I'd want to all out bulk (for me that is 10%bf), and I don't want to cut all out because being at 15% bf it feels like a waste of anabolics to cut lol.

I think where I have been cutting for the past 2 months (not sure on bf but will for sure check it before starting) a slight surplus might be my best option for that rebound of coming of lower cal diet.
 
So after further looking into it, I decided on a cycle. And for research purposes I will be running a TD/oral cycle only I felt when I started out I was always looking for "legal" cycles I could run before I got into pinning. I have a buddy I'll be working with that wants to run his second cycle so I'll be doing something similar.

I'm also super curious about some compounds I've seen on here that people use for a "test base". I will be using dermacrine to see how well it functions.

Here is proposed layout. Input welcome as always.

1-8 dermacrine 4pumps/day, move to 6 if 4 isn't enough
1-8 stanogen (epi TD) 200mg/day
1-8 dienogen TD 75mg/day
1-6 M1A 45mg/day,might move up to 60mg to see how I react for last two weeks. Would it be possible to run 8 weeks as well? Don't really think I should push it but curious if anyone has tried

1-8 hcg 500ius a week
Adex on hand incase I need it
Ar1macare pro the whole time

Pct
Nolva 40/40/20/20
P6 test booster (got for free)

Thoughts? I'm actually pretty excited to see this cycle goes without pinning test. I'll also be running a 300cal surplus. Originally thought of recomping but figured this should have close to the same effect without losing out on gains

I’m currently a little more than halfway through a 6wk M1a/3ad run. I’ve been on 30mg M1a and honestly see no reason to up the dosage. All lifts are going up and I’m leaning out while gaining weight.

That's for the input! I'll have to follow your log to know what to expect. Do you feel it is wetter than you expected?

reminds me of a girl I once dated..... she asked something similar😂

on a more serious note obviously I’ll follow along bro.

have you considered using estrogen tablets to keep that up in the absence of test? For a recomp or bulk that’s going to be important and I’m not sure how covered it would be by derm?

i haven’t tried it yet but I’ve listened to a few podcasts where it’s discussed or used in no
Test cycles.

I’ve no intention of not using test any time soon myself but if I did I’d defo look at that

Lol I mean better wetter than not🤷‍♂️

I haven't thought of that, I pretty gyno prone (had pubertal gyno) and so usually I'm not looking for more estro. Might be worth considering to have on hand though just in case. I think I would prob just not take AI as my first step before estro tablets. Could be interesting...

No not at all, actually the opposite. I’ll be adding Epistane and mk677 in for the duration of the run starting this week as well. I think you’re going to like. I wouldn’t run it more than 6wks either.
