Day 5: 01/07/21

Dropped 4lbs of water weight and shit so far, weighed in at 299 this morning. I believe I'm teetering on ketosis now, I'll test it at the 10 day mark. Still slowly working back into the weights, no squat rack here, so I haven't squatted anything more than 225 since I have to clean and press it just to get into position. Chest is still sore from several days ago using 137lbs with the sts bar.

Chaffles for breakfast today
3 eggs
4oz sharp cheddar
4oz mozzarella

Lazy lunch today
1.5lbs of salted bacon

Dinner
2x 6oz cheese burgers, no bun
2x 7oz flat iron steaks
1lb of fire grilled asparagus

We'll call this a cheat day.. it was about 4k calories with 300g protein as well as 300g from fat lolol

Week 1 is down.

I was definitely hitting ketosis in the latter half of the weak.. sweat started stinking more, breath smelled like hot garbage, and my piss smelled like buttery popcorn. lol I got a bottle of mk677 in the mail yesterday and took some around 3pm.. fucckking disgusting! Took a while to get rid of the taste, and then I felt like I was going to die of starvation.. it was aweful.. definitely cannot diet on the mk677, I thought I'd be strong enough to withstand it but, nope it kicked my ass.. I was too damn hungry to be on a diet. We ended up getting a large costco pizza for a end of week cheat meal, I think my wife needed it as well. She's never really dieted before, and she's trying to do this with me. She gave up her 5 sodas a day and daily diet of tasty cakes and chocolate cold turkey. I know she been a little miserable lol

End of Week 1, down to 298lbs from 303.

Calorie/Macro Averages
Calories 2750
Fats 185
Carbs 70
Protein 200

Today is Day 8. No more MK677. Just got home from work.. about to hit some chest and arms.

What was the purpose of the MK?

I'm unfamiliar with it

It's a growth hormone secretagogue. Makes you produce extra igf, and keeps you really full (not appetite wise, lol makes you stupid hungry). I've used it a few times capped, this time I got an unflavored research chem and it's nasty. Works well for bulking, thought I'd be strong enough to control the hunger on my cut, but I wasn't even close. Lol

I'd compare 25mg mk-677 to about 4iu of hGH.

 

[Trump]

can they be stacked together mk and hgh?

Even after over 10yrs, I really hate needles

Feel you on this. Can't even use them at the dentist. Luckily haven't been injured much either, so have only had to get stitched up once in my lifetime so far. And even then I demanded the doctor to start stitching without the shot first. Realized that was a stupid idea and had to man up for a shot after all lol.

yeah and everyone went to modern fitness forum

 

[Adrenolin]

I believe it could, but I'm not 100% certain. I believe mk makes your body release more of it's own production of gh. I don't see why you couldn't dose exogenous gh on top of that if side effects are not an issue.

yeah and everyone went to modern fitness forum

I remember that, but don't remember that forum lasting all that long.. a year or 2.

Day 13 - 01/15/2021

Still chuggin along with the diet. My wife will be taking a cheat meal tomorrow, while I will be sticking to the diet. Weighed in at 295.7lbs this morning (down another 2.3lbs from last week) and took an 3x average 7pt caliper body fat test @ 24.15%.

Did 5 sets of 10 with 137lbs on the sts bar super-setted with bent over rows and rear delt flyes every single day this week. For those wondering my sts (Strong Theory Systems) bar is a 47lb experimental bar with fat grips that slide across the bar resembling a dumbbell press. A prototype and the 2.0 (current version) were given to me to test about 7yrs ago, and I still use it now.

added some starting measurements to my profile so might as well tag them here in the log as well

Currently as of Jan 15th 2021
32yo
6'2
295.7lbs
24.15% Body Fat

57" Shoulders
49" Chest
18" Arms (flexed; no pump)
15" Forearms (arm extended)
44.5" Waist
31" Thunder thighs
18 5/8" Calves

I'll re-evaluate weight every weekend, body fat every other weekend, and measurements at the middle of every month. In the long term I'd like to see my body fat cut in half, shoulder measurement up to 58", chest up to 52", arms back to 19.5"+, forearms back to 16.5", waist back down to 34", thighs down to 28" (cause chaffing sucks), and calves up to 20"

Would you say you are a high responder to aas?

Would you say you are a high responder to aas?

Ya I respond pretty well... the biggest factor for me is staying diligent in the kitchen and dedicated and consistent in the gym. I lost 1.5" off the waist since the start, I was at a whopping 46" waist around new years. Had never had a waist over 40" in the past even weighing 326 in the past.. so I think my time off the trt had some bad effects.. I won't be doing that again. lol I haven't done any intense cardio yet (just walking), and don't intend on adding any until dieting starts stalling out. I expect I'll start seeing a 4pk once I get down to about 16%, but I don't expect any drastic muscle gains until I change gears and stop cutting.

Weird sandwhich... I know. Lol It was something disgusting I saw on facebook a several years ago, but curiosity got to me and I not only ended up trying it, but loving it as well! It's even better if you throw some sliced bananas in there...
