Old Man Cycle Log - 1st SARMS Cycle - (Sarms4Sale)

[BigArms42]

Day 26

MK677 - 12.5mg
LGD4033 - 10mg
MK2866 - 25mg

GAINS:

Pumps continue to be insane. I am sure they are in part due to water retention, but not having used PED's in over 15 years, it is a feeling I have missed. Damn...I love it!

Strength continues to improve, but given my age and nagging injuries the Healing Stack I am doing is not meant, IMO, to crush huge strength gains. Slow and steady wins the race and heals injuries. Trying NOT to injure something else.

For over a decade I would limit my squat to 275 lbs for sets of 8-10 because I did not want to re-injure a herniated disc in my lower back. My strength has increased so much that today I threw on 315 for sets of 6 and had more in the tank. Yeah yeah...I know...I used to squat 450+ so 315 may not seem like a lot to you guys, but when you haven't done that in over a decade, it's a big improvement! I am thrilled.

Can't wait for deads, back and hams day - Sunday...it's on!

Size - I am still hovering around 225 which I can tolerate for this particular stack. Remember, I am trying to gain strength in weak areas to aid in healing of tendons in my ankle and forearms. Tendonitis blows.

SIDES:
Blood Pressure - for now, it seems this has leveled out. the last few days my systolic pressure has been below 127, so I am very happy!

Blood Glucose - in reading about how MK677 can increase blood sugar to pre-diabetic levels I purchased a new blood glucose meter and started testing today. I was not methodical about it, I that I did not test the second I woke. Instead, I tested after two cups of coffee that had non-dairy creamer in it. 4 gr of carbs, so not much, but still. I was at 120, which is high.

I tested again after lunch and I was at 160, which is very high. It dropped to 140 within an hour and to 132 in two hours. For someone who has not had high levels, this is high.

Tomorrow, I am going to test methodically and see where I am. That said, if it stays high, I may have to bail on the MK677. I am NOT OK with risking diabetes.

Questions:
I am curious to hear from those who have experience running GH and/or MK677 and how it effects your blood glucose levels short and long term. Did you develop diabetes? How can I counteract the increase in blood glucose levels? How long does the increase last? Should I be concerned the increased levels may cause diabetes? etc.

Thanks! Hope you all have a great weekend!

MK677 might have an effect on blood sugar like real HGH keep that in mind

you're NOT going to develop diabetes relax, its just a short term thing like hgh

 

[Maverick602]

Yea I agree you're a vet

@AnaboleX-Dave can you check this

Boom! Thanks for the bump BA! Much appreciated.

 

[Maverick602]

Yeah bro. The GH/MK677 thing is new to me. Despite being an extremist in many ways around fitness and athletic performance, I never crossed into the GH realm until now. I have tons of experience with gear, but fluctuating blood sugar and GH levels are a new frontier for this VET

I assume once I wrap up this 12 weeks my blood sugar will return to normal?

I have looked for studies on MK677's effect on blood glucose, but they are scattered with limited info.

Oh and one more thing...how much longer till I drop the lame-ass "Growing-Newb" bullshit? Being a legacy member, it's starting to chafee

If that's all you gotta worry about...

 

[Vadim Fedorov]

Blood sugar will fluctuate, don't worry it is normal, drink more water and eat clean

 

[Maverick602]

If that's all you gotta worry about...

Amen brother. Small potatoes... very blessed

 

[Masonic Bodybuilder]

Once you come off the Nutrobal blood sugar should definitely return to what you are used to.

Once you come off the Nutrobal blood sugar should definitely return to what you are used to.

Thanks for your input. I am keeping a semi-regular eye on my sugar. It's higher, but not crazy high so I am sticking with this.

Day 33

MK677 - 12.5mg
LGD4033 - 10mg
MK2866 - 25mg

GAINS:

Pumps continue to be insane.

Strength continues to increase, but I am not pushing it too far with my weights. My muscle tissues are obviously growing, but my connective tissues are still 48 years old. I am doing a respectable job of leaving my ego at the door every time I enter the gym, but with the gains, it's tempting to push it at times. I was humbled earlier this week when my achilles tendonitis flared up after a lengthy calf session. After stretching and resting it, it seems to be extinguished for now.
TAKE CARE OF YOUR ACHILLES!!! tendinosis blows.

Size - I hit 230. Damn!
Muscle memory is awesome and blows at the same time. I was always a hard gainer when it came to legs, so now my upper body is growing like a weed and my legs are lagging. To combat this, I decided to change my training routine. See below. That said, I will not go above 230!! In fact, I am going to drill down on my diet plan this weekend and drop my carbs to 200 and see what happens.

Diet - I am around 220mg protein, 300mg carbs, 50mg fat daily...roughly

Training - My original goal was to grow strong, lean out and drop to 215 and 13% BF, but once the effects of this cycle kicked in I realized that was a pipe dream so I adjusted my goals. Now, I want to heal nagging injuries, grow and stay strong as I rebuild a solid foundation. However, I need to slow my upper body growth and speed up my lower body growth.

Here is what I have been doing the past week.

While I do not want to grow my upper body, I want to build strength and I need to get my pull-ups back to where they were so I am pulling out an old standard. The Armstrong Pullup Program (see below) - If you want to hit 20 pull-ups from a dead hang, but can't, start and stick to this program and you will hit and blow past it in no time.

Rest

SIDES:
Blood Pressure - depending on my water retention, my systolic BP fluctuates to a high of 135, but most of the time it is 130 or lower, which is manageable.

Water retention -When I really feel it, I started taking an over the counter diuretic. 1-2 pills on those days. So far it's been 2x this week.

Blood Glucose - It is elevated, but not alarming. Based on everyone's feedback, it sounds like it will level out once the cycle wraps up. Initially I thought I would stay on MK677 for 6 months, but I am not comfortable doing that with the elevated glucose levels. I will hit the 12 weeks and take time off. I also will be really tired of the water weight by then. I already am.

Heartburn - this is weird. I rarely get heartburn and I experience it several times per day. Eating tums at least twice a day most days. Very weird. I cannot figure out why this is happening.

Morning Deuce - I forgot to add this in initially when I started my log. Historically, I take my morning deuce around 8:30 - 9:00 AM after I have been up for 2-3 hours and had a few cups of coffee. After a week on this cycle, I wake up, take a few sips of coffee and BAM. A voluminous glorious deuce. Clockwork. It has actually been a convenient addition because I get to enjoy it at my house instead of at my office.

That's it for now bros!

Fire away if you have feedback. Thanks for following.
