well with cyto you will be hungrier within a week or so. You will notice that your metabolism is running faster, and you are processing food at a better rate. If you use to much it will actully make you tired, cause you are burning to much to fast...

gotcha, thnx, and you have to ramp up and down correct? i know my buddy he said he just stopped and it fucked up his thyroid bad and he got super fat, and he was in great shape beofre hand,

yes taper off of it...but as to ramping up, I would say you wont need more than 50mcg's at the very most. I believe if you do much more (and everyone is different) you will start to burn muscle and fat. I have tried doing 75mcg's and at that point I just stay very flat, and lose fullness. Anymorethan 50mcg's for me, and I just burn, burn and burn some more...I would start at 12.5mcg's for a couple weeks then go to 25mcg's for 2 weeks, then go to 37.5mcg's for 2 weeks, before hitting 50mcg's for 2-4 weeks...then ramp down to 25mcg's for a week, then 12.5 mcg's for a week or two...

weeks 1-2, 12.5mcg
weeks 3-4, 25mcg
weeks 5-6, 37.5mcg
weeks 7-8, 50mcg
weeks 9-10 25mcg
weeks 11-12, 12.5mcg

now ofcourse if you donig a show you would stay at 50mcg's until the very last week, then maybe drop it into half 25mcgs so it doesnt affect your carb up as much...then do the taper down after the 12th week.

 

[Chris250]

started some cardio this past week. 20mins on the treadmill just once per day...

 

[Chris250]

Chest workout from saturday - sportworx gym (main sets listed only)

Hammer incline press - 450 x 8 (felt a light stretching in my chest kinda sore)
Bodymaster incline press - 535 x 8 (this actully wasnt to heavy, but it pulled my left pec, so I stopped the set early)
quit all chest movements for the day ---

Cable seated incline curls (alternate each arm) - 40 x 15 (felt pretty light, still bothered my chest)
Hammer DB curls - 75 x 15 (felt good, didnt bother my chest to much)

it was going to be a great workout, but from the very start on hammer incline press, my chest was pulled from going to deep. I really pushed it hard on that movement and it pulled it a little bit. But today (wends) its not to bad, and isnt swollen or bruised....

I run T3 for 7 weeks ending up at 75mcgs, I would never run it without GH as you stated above to save my muscle.

Glad to hear that Chris, probably just strained and not torn. Take it easy!

 

[muscleken]

Good luck chris, you seem to be a good guy who always give positive advise. I know you will kick ass.

 

[The Dude]

Sounds like a pretty minor strain. Do you have access to an ultrasound machine? That and massage really speed up the healing. As for training, I'm sure this isnt your first injury so you should have no problem training around it. That's some seriously heavy weight though!

 

[Chris250]
