Starting a Six Weeks Diary taking MK 677 Ibutamoren & MK 2866 Ostarine.
Starting weight 76kg's ( 167 lbs )
Height of 5'11".
Worked out for the past 3 yrs and dropped from 85kg's 3 yrs ago to 72kg's 18 months ago and now up to 76 kg's. Before 3 yrs ago...never worked out.
Age : 45
Bodyfat is now around 18% based on image comparisons I have seen on the interweb.
Target - to get to 10% bodyfat and build some muscle. Want to look tidy.
Health Issues - Lower back problems caused by a crushed nerve that kicks off during squats.....now I avoid squats after weeks of pain...happened four times over the past two years. Elbow pain hurts during chin up and curl. Did suffer from very painful knees before I took up weight lifting....now almost gone but does play up a bit sometimes.
Rest : Sleep quality is poor. Usually get up around 4 or 5 times every night. Go for a pee then back to bed after drinking water. Had an operation a few months ago on my nose to improve breathing and is taking time to get used to breathing through my nose again. Office job.
Cycle history : None.
Improvements - Huge progress since I started weight lifting in all muscle groups. Legs still look a bit skinny.
Supplements - Took Creatine for past 2 yrs, stopped 2 weeks ago as I feel it made my lower back pain worse. Did not notice any improvements using it anyway. Pure Isolate Whey at breakfast and after gym ( 30g each time ). Scoop of Casein Protein before bed ( depends on the daily macros on meal plan ). BCAA's.

Day 7 : Rest.
Sometimes I mix it up a bit.
Typical Daily Nutrition :
Breakfast : Pure Isolate Whey 25g + 4 blocks of frozen spinach, 4 blocks of frozen broccolli, 6 almonds, banana, ice water and blended up. 3x omega 3's & sometimes a slice of toast with honey.
After Gym : Banana + 25g Pure Whey Isolate
Lunch : 50g Carbs, 250g Protein ( meat or fish ), 50g Veg.
Afternoon : Tall Skinny Latte
Evening : 50g Carbs, 250g Protein ( meat or fish ), 50g Veg.
Typical daily calories : between 1,800 and 2,000. I keep a daily diary unless there is a train crash and my wife drags me out for dinner or a buffet lunch !
Target calories each day ( fluctuates a bit but I try to keep on track most days ) : 40% protein ( 175 grams ), 30% Carbs ( 131 grams ), 30% Fat ( 58 grams ) = 1,750 cals.
Alcohol is rare.
Resting calories around 2,000 cals. Weight drops if I take less than 2,000 cals but always increases if I eat more than 2,000 cals.
Reason for wanting to do a MK677 & MK2866 cycle :
Im struggling to get my fat levels down especially on the belly. My chest and arms are very lean as are my legs but I struggle to get that down without losing muscle everywhere else. I read that going on to this cycle will help to maintain my muscle and perhaps increase muscle / fat composition if I continue to train as hard as I can and keep my macros sensible at or below maintenance.
Niggling injuries take time to heal, especially my elbow and shoulder. Hoping to clear these up.
I fear steroids due to the potential long term sides and don’t feel that I am experienced enough or advanced enough to even contemplate them. An MK cycle seems like an interesting option to just see how I could benefit. Dont like the idea of needles.
The Cycle :
Dosage – MK677 ( 25mg ) & MK2866 ( 25mg ) daily at 7am on an empty stomach followed up by my daily smoothie and omega 3’s. Take for 6 wks followed by PCT.
The MK are little round tabs. They came in bottle of 100 from a UK supplier.
PCT – I have ready –
Week 1 : Nolvadex – 40mg per day. Clomid – 50mg per day
Week 2 : Nolvadex – 40mg per day. Clomid – 50mg per day
Week 3 : Nolvadex – 20mg per day. Clomid – 25mg per day
Week 4 : Nolvadex – 20mg per day. Clomid – 25mg per day
Other options of PCT I have ordered : Arimistane ( Eradicate ). Not decided as of yet if I will need the above full PCT on Nolvadex / Clomid or just the Eradicate…..some say do the full whack…others seem to think less. Will get bloods done as soon as the cycle is finished to see how badly the Test has been suppressed. Any advise appreciated !
Day 1 ( Mon 27th Aug rest day ) :
20 min after dose I had a huge hunger attack… raided the fridge and ate far too much ! Macros went out of the window.
Three hours later I dev a really big pump in my chest, arms, legs, traps etc. The pump did not go away. Felt lethargic too. Tired all day. Slept badly but did have a weird dream that I was being chased through Central London by a monster and I locked myself into a hotel room only to have the door smashed through the lock by the monster…which caused my shorts to rip and my dick to drop out…..which suddenly grew hundreds of tiny red and white mushrooms and then the monster ran away. I had a few more really whacky dreams that night too……WOW.
Day 2 ( Tuesday 28th Aug ) : Upper body day.
Weight went up by 1.5 kg’s . Assume that to be water retention. Did feel bloated.
Very tired, very hungry, constant pump. No improvements in the gym. Drank a crazy amount of water. Didn’t sleep at all well.
Day 3 ( Wednesday 29th Aug ) : Lower body day.
Weight went up again…totally 78.2 kg’s. Very tired, very hungry, constant pump. No improvements in the gym. Slept better than I had for months. Felt very rested the following morning.
Day 4 ( Thursday 30th Aug ) : Rest Day.
Weight up to 78.4 kg’s. Still tired as hell and a crazy appetite. Still very pumped 24/7. Slept quite well. Has a few weird dreams again.
Day 5 ( Friday 31st Aug ) : Upper body day.
Weight unchanged but I managed to push 70 kg’s for the first time ever on the flat bench. Surprised myself as I did 4 reps. Had a pretty good session. Tried to do some chin ups but still could not as the elbow injury a month or so ago was still giving me grief. Went out for a company buffet lunch….went crazy and ate loads…felt like I had not eaten for months. Went heavy on the carbs…total macro train crash. Still tired, still pumped all day / night. Slept reasonably…only got up a couple of times in the night.
Day 6 ( Sat 1st Sept ) : Lower body day.
Weight went up to 78.4 kg’s. Didn’t feel like my waist line had increased and felt as if all the food that I had been eating had digested a lot faster than usual. Triceps felt bigger and I got a few comments from my son who said that I seemed to have grown a bit lol !! Went heavier in the gym on the leg press and ende dup doing more sets of heavier weights overall. Felt tired all day although once I got started in the gym, the tiredness went away ( same story every time in the gym with tiredness ). Slept on the sofa in the afternoon….as usual I ended up eating way more than my planned macros for the day.
Day 7 ( Sun 2nd Sept ) : Rest Day.
Weight 78.4 kg’s. Still tired, still crazy hungry and still just as pumped. Slept pretty well.
Day 8 ( Mon 3rd Sept ) : Upper body day….changed to do just a push day so I could focus on chest and Triceps. Did loads more bench and dips…gave myself as much of a hammering as I possibly could. Still very tired, still crazy hungry and still very pumped. Triceps felt bigger. Slept badly.
Day 9 ( Tues 4th Sept ) : Upper body day….changed to do just a pull day. Focussed on Back and Biceps. Incredible….I could chin up and although I still had some minor pain in the elbow I could feel that the pain was nearly gone…..in fact after the gym session, my elbow felt great ! Im sure this is a result of the cycle…I had heard a lot about the healing properties. So I managed to do quite a few chin ups although the reps were low as I had not done any for the past six weeks due to injury. Not feeling quite as tired as before and appetite beginning to get under control….hoping that I can nail the hunger and tiredness…..really need to get back on my macro plans as I keep a daily food diary and want to go no more than my usual 1750 cals. This is where I am now…..will update daily…….
