Started At 2iu 4x Weekly With 12.5 Mk677 3x weekly. 3 months in and at 5 iu 4x weekly and 25mg mk677. Don't notice fat melting off but then again I'm at 4,500 calories but I am growing much quicker than wth just gear or peptides. I do not notice better skin hair or nails or sleep like people claim and the sides are significantly worse than I expected. Hands go numb whIle eating with utensils, hands go numb holding my phone and typing this up, joints in between fingers feel swollen/painful. I can't close my hands in the morning, wrists/fingers throbb and hands are numb. Morning workouts that require gripping weights is very painful and really require will power to push through the pain for the first couple sets. Not going to lie.... gh is the real game changer though. I think about stoping or lowering the dose every day due to the sides but the results are to good to stop haha
In conjunction with test/eq for the first 2 months then switched to test/deca |

Was taking 3.5 ius in the morning. Was only running a trt dose of Test. I knew after a few weeks something very real was happening in my body. I could just "feel" it. I felt very anabolic. My muscles swelled up quite a bit, i got stronger from the extra water. I just felt really really good.
I just knew that my igf1 was going to come back high. After only 3 weeks at 3.5 ius a day my igf1 came back at a little over 500. |

or what about MK
As a 49 year old bodybuilder and scientist, I believe in lab work and how my body feels as opposed to hearsay (t-nation). I have over 8 labs below to prove that mk677 works without side effects on your natural gh and igf-1, insulin sensitivity, and liver values, and bloat is easily controlled (see my tips below, it has to do with keto diet). * Mk677 does NOT raise my bloodpressure, pharm grade hgh injections from China do raise my bloodpressure however. My bloodpressure while on mk677 is only 120/70. My bloodpressure varies from 110 to 127. I am on test cypionate replacement therpay. I use 175mg a week (one 50mg shot every other day with 1/2 mg of arimidex with every shot). * MK677 does NOT bloat me, as I am on a ketogenic diet year round, with extra carbs (1/2 cup oatmeal) preworkout (extra carbs on workout days) to fuel my workout for performance. If you consume lots of carbs everyday, then yes, you will get some bloat with mk677. On a keto diet, mk677 does not bloat me, what does bloat me is using above 200mg of testosterone a week without arimidex. I will post my testosterone and E2 bloods in 3 days, as I just had levels tested this morning. * MK677 does NOT ruin your natural gh and igf-1 levels after you come off it, that is a complete lie. See my bloodwork below. On my 2nd year on mk677, my bloods once again reached the levels of 3.4 iu pharm grade hgh from china with just 25mg of mk677, just like the 1st year I was on. Inbetwen my time off on mk677, my bloods were normal 227 ng/ml igf-1. * MK677 does not over stimuate your gh and igf-1 levesl, it mearly returns them to the level you once had when you were a very young adult, the body puts a regulatory system in place once you start taking mk677, that allows it to raise no higher than the high level of around an 18 year old. A system of checks and balances is imposed naturally by the body to keep it in range, this was proven by the beagles study on mk677, and my own many labs on mk667 prove the same (see below). IGF-1 range for my age group of 48 ----------- 67 to 205 ng/ml igf-1 IGF-1 range for older adults ----------------- 59 to 225 ng/ml igf-1 IGF-1 range for young adults is -------------- 116 to 358 ng/ml igf-1 4-6-18, baseline igf -1 = 227 ng/ml------ baseline 4-11-18, 2 days on 4iu of Chinese pharm grade HGH = 380 ng/ml-----------------increase of 153 points 4-25-18, 2 weeks on mk677 only = 372 ng/ml------increase of 145 points (nearly 150 point increase only lasts 2 weeks) 9-7-18, 6 months on mk677 only = 322 ng/ml--------increase of 95 points 11-2-18, 8 months on mk677 only = 304 ng/ml--------increase of 75 points (levels start to fall after 6 months on mk677) new year: 3-18-19, 4 weeks on mk677 only = 327 ng/ml-----increase of 100 points, (2-22-19 thru 3-18-19 thus far) Year 2018 = 322 ng/ml igf-1 (average level during 1st 6 months on 25mg mk677 in morning) is equivalent of 3.4 iu pharm grade GH from China, as 95 point raise per each 1iu of hgh for me. Year 2019 = 327 ng/ml igf-1 (after 1 month on 25mg mk677 in the am) is equivalent to 3.4 iu pharm grade GH from China, as 95 point raise per each 1iu of hgh for me. Comments: I like to take mk677 for 7 months of the year, then take 5 months off, then repeat, as you start to get diminishing returns after the 6th month on it, it is then good to take a break from it, as even the mk677 studies on older adults showed after the 6th month, levels begin to drop from the peak. It's nice to see the m677 is still kicking strong. I feel it working as usual, great workouts + recuperation + enhanced exercise tolerance, no lethargy or anxiety whatsoever, fantastic mood, love the stuff. If you get tired or lethargy when using mk677, maybe suggest switching to real hgh injections instead? or just don't use anything. Studies show a 20% increase in strength in older adults, have noticed 30% increase over time, as a good responder. 1) Mk677 bloating is minimized as I stay on a ketogenic diet year round except for extra carbs on workout days, 2) Mk677 minor insulin desensitivity (this happens with hgh as well) is counteracted by using 300mg of +R ALA before meals. 3) MK677 does not burn fat like hgh but it has increased nitrogen retention in place of this drawback. To help lose fat fast while on mk677, use keto diet + intermittent fasting (eat only 8 hours during day), cardio + CLA + betaine (TMG): read the studies at ergo-log on cla + betaine super stack. 4) Liver values bloodwork was performed last year after 7 months on it, and they were completely normal. 5) Mk677 hunger pains die down after about 4 weeks on the cycle. 6) Got powder directly from China (comes out to $25 a gram) and use a really good 1mg electronic scale (example: AWS gpr-20 20g x 0.001g). There is usually a min order of $200 and shipping is around $20. Powder should have a really nasty lingering taste and not just a weak acidic taste that dies out early. It is hard to synthesize, so insist on good quality. - For those concerned about insulin sensitivity: n 2018, I took 25mg in the morning from March till November (8 months), though now I only take it 7 months straight, then take a 5 month break off. My levels after 4 months on it this year measure 327 ng/ml, up from my baseline of 227, so a 100 point increase, I read at the high end for an 18 year old on my GH and igf-1 levels while on it, and I am age 49 bodybuilder, so more than happy. 30% greater strength gains over time, good nootropic energy during day, sleep great at night, keeps joins lubricated, and enhanced exercise tolerance in the gym and on treadmill. No lethargy at all here during the day, unlike many I have read about. A few pages about the mk677 in the book "grow young with hgh" by Klatz too. 7 months in while taking it, I had labs done, mk677 had NO detrimental effects on my insulin, glucose, A1c, etc. Labs from Sept 26, 2018: Insulin 8.2 uU/ml , normal, low =2.6, high = 24.9 Glucose: 89.0 mg/dl, normal, low = 70, high = 99 HbA1c: 5.1%, normal, low = 4.0, high = 5.6 I recommend you take 300mg of +R-ALA (Dr. Danielle Alpha Lipoic Acid, RALA, Extremely High Quality Alpha R Lipoic Acid (R-ALA)R- ALA 120 Capsules) before every meal x 3 times a day to help counteract and even improve insulin sensitivity while on either HGH or mk677, as yes, both will lower insulin sensitivity a bit, but this can be improved considerably with +R alpha lipoic acid, p.s. I get no hearburn from the above formula, best I have tried, and I have tried 3 different brands. You can also take berberine along with +R-ALA, as berberine in studies has proven just as effective as metformin, +R-ALA in studies has proven even more effective then metformin. I was not taking +R-ALA during the months the lab was taken above, but have since added it this year during my 7 month of the year mk677 25mg a day cycle. Liver values also normal after 7 months of use: ALT 26.0 u/L, normal, low =7, high =56.0 AST 21.0 u/L normal, low = 5, high = 35 MK677 is also not expensive, try xian Lyphar biotech in China, around twenty bucks a gram, don't pay the ridiculous prices charged for it here in the USA, as they are but the middleman who get it from China anyways. anabolics: As far as anabolics on a 12 week cycle once to twice a year, I prefer high dose 500 to 800mg primobolan (basically side effect free) along with my normal 175mg a week test cyp dosage, and around 4 weeks of 20mg a day dianabol. It does not raise my blood pressure, no bad blood lipid results, does not mess with my sleep, feel great on it, and since I keep my test dose low and primo high, it does not mess with my hairline, whereas it will mess with your hairline if you keep your test high and the primo high (I have tried it both ways). Primobolan at high dose it like a side effect free trenbolone. It gives slow steady gains with no water retention. Like Masteron but better. Full, round, hard, veiny. It was Arnold's favorite along with d-ball, and I agree, those two are my favorites too. I do not respond well to trenbolone, as the one side effect it gives me annoys me bad: I get terrible sleep on it, as it wakes me once a night early, or causes me to wake up too early, it has stimulation wich messes with my sleep, otherwise it would be fine. And this is even at 150mg a week (20mg a day everyday injection using an insulin syringe). Perhaps 10mg a day would be different, but I believe any amount in my system can be a problem with the sleep disturbance side effect. I do not like deca durabolin only because of the possibiliy of deca dick and libido problems in some, not all, see the reason it causes deca dick in the on-line article at muscular development, it messes with nitric acid badly, and studies show it also can be damaging to blood vessels. If it weren't for those 2 problems, it would be awesome. I do like d-ball at 20mg a day for 4 weeks. Anavar however causes me to be wired and thus messes with my sleep, just like trenbolone. This wired feeling happens with some other people as well, but not all. |
