Great thread T-heads.
Personally, I have done 2 seperate cycles of M1T. Previous experience was MAG-10 and 1-Test. Saw decent gains on both, almost no sides.
First two-week cycle with M1T was mind-blowing mass gains. 10-15 pounds in 2 weeks, thick as ever, 30# bench increase. That was at 20 mg, divided into AM and PM doses. Noticed loss of appetite and some lethargy, but still made serious gains without increasing cals. I’m a FFG so that was fine.
After a two week lay-off: the second two-week cycle I got cocky and tried 40 mg, divided Am and PM. This time I got REALLY bad headches - migraine level with the neausea, serious lack of energy, and trembles (like a hypoglycemic epesode). Not fun. I think this might be the flu-like symptoms that has been reported so frequently.
Also, the scariest side I had was I truly believe I might have damaged my liver! I started getting this dull ache on my right side, around the bottom rib. The liver sits on the right side, about mid-torso. Just bending over to tie my shoes or anytime I piked my torso the pain got worse. Upon self-examination by poking my fingers up inside my rib cage something was mos def inflammed! Scary shit considering I am a health fanatic and eat clean 365 days/year. Within 2-3 days of stopping the 40 mg cycle I was back to normal - no pain, no headaches.
I took Methyl Extreme. They also contain a liver-blocking enzyme and two supplements that support the liver (not milk thistle). Despite that, I over-did the dosage severely and the high BP headaches were aboslutely sickening.
My advice on M1T is to be VERY cautious and know your body. Get BP and liver values checked before and after, and during if you can. There are even some liver self-testing packs through WebMD I believe. I feel that 10mg is MORE than enough. Just take your time and hit 2-3, two week cycles, sperated by 2-3 weeks off. I wish my remaining stash were tabs instead of caps because I would like to try as little as 5 mg/day.
I can see where Cy is coming from now. The drug is effective, but the sides can seriously be annoying at best, and life threatening at worst. To stay on the safe side, you might want to stay away from methylated drugs all together… but now being post-PH ban, you’ll be lucky to get creatine in another year!
Hope this helps.
