Need some advice around Mot-c and timing whilst fasted.

I currently train at 4:30am, usually just pre-workout with added carbs before training.

when do other early gym goers take their Mot-c? Is it okay to take before gym and then have carbs 30 minutes later?
 
I workout @ 5am. I wake up at 4/415 am. Take my MOTS-C shot around 4:25am. Timing shouldn’t matter too much as long as you get it in your system (someone correct me if I’m wrong).

I had been dosing it every day @ 1-1.5mg each morning and just recently started doing 2.5mg MWF to reduce the injection frequency. Tbh I haven’t noticed much of a difference.

Do you take pre-workout or have a feed before your session or does mot-c just get you through it?

I have just read that it should be taken in a fasted state and I am worried I am wasting it by having pre-workout and carbs shortly after.
 
I have been taking 7mg every other day at 5 a.m., fasted. Great synergy with black coffee. Goto Gym around 8 am. Do Cardio for 20 min. Then lift for 40 min. Even though the half-life is short, I can feel it building steadily until my next shot. I am on week 5 of 8. Probably tied for second behind Tirz and Tesa as my favorite pep.I did run SS-31 for a month back in November. Just started back on it again and now teamed up with Mots-c. Will take a break in May, but I don't want to.

How long have you been taking it for ?

I just started 2 weeks ago and also haven't noticed anything.

I did 1mg everyday for the first week, then I switch to the typical 5mg 3x/wk (Mon-Wed-Fri).

How long after starting it did you notice a difference ?

I have also been doing the 1mg daily, and noticed it pretty quickly. Initially felt lethargic for around the first 3-4 days and now it feels like a small buzz of energy constantly - not a huge amount, but enough to notice and want to continue with it.

I may increase the dose slightly and change to every other day like peoples recommendations.

By the second dose, I could really pinpoint it. Super clean, not jittery stimulant energy.
Thanks.

I don't know what to say.....

The one thing I did notice is that I don't get that slight buzz feeling from my pre-workout that I use to. It's Total War by Redcon1.
 
Nice...you early birds give me the creeps. I find it hard to sleep by that time, let alone wake up...brrrr..

But yeah, exercising in a fasted state is excellent, depending on your goals, of course. In terms of effects, Mots-C is an exercise mimetic. As of right now, all EMs duplicate cardio/aerobic exercise benefits. Based on what I have seen and heard from Mots-C users, the symptomatic effect of the pep seems similar to what Clen users experience, though at a milder level. Naturally, the systemic mitochondrial effects of Mots-C over the long term are its true purpose, so I would focus on that as the primary purpose of using Mots.

Its not by choice that I am up that early. I have a newborn that wakes multiple times throughout the night and then wide awake at 5am so i try to get back home to help the wife. I generally just go when he wakes for a feed around 3 or 4 A.M as I am already up.

I've got some Mots on the way, is it best utilized to dose before a workout? Also, are you dosing it daily? As in even on days outside of the gym, or only as a energy boost?

Can I ask the Punisher to repeat that in Englis.... 🤣 🤣 🤣

And I'm a senior, so I'm up early. Next thing I'll be doing is walking the malls when it opens 🙁
 
And that's the first time somebody has asked me to reiterate my communication in English... huh!

Anyway, since you're a senior, I will give a discount on the punishment. Exercise mimetics are these cool dames who create in the human body the same effects that exercise brings. Mots is a prima donna in the current list of dames who erect the lost vigor of men, amongst the disabled dames class. Of course, she is not as nut-worthy as say Clenbuterol, ephedra, etc but those are risky babes useful for casual flings. Mots is a chick for the ring, long-term shenanigans.

Yup! When I was dosing it every morning, it was pre-workout. I would still have some carbs via EAAs + Cluster Dextrin (25-30g carbs total) + a caffeine tab before or during my workout. Otherwise I’d go Hypoglycemic.

Tbh I think you’re fine taking in carbs or fasted. End of the day it will be your calorie deficit. One thing to note, mots-c def improves insulin sensitivity so it’ll better partition carbs to your muscles.

Been dosing it since last October. Tbh I don’t notice too much from it beyond some better insulin sensitivity which I confirmed via my CGM. But I never got an energetic or stim feeling from it. I kinda view it as ‘software running in the background’ just keeping things optimal. 😅

How’re you liking the 5mg MWF dosing? Notice any difference?

I haven't noticed anything. I just know on the bodybuilding forum they rant'n'rave about how much energy they get from it. I was expecting to feel like I drank 10 espressos or something...lol

And I can't believe my mitochondrial is damaged. They are no signs or evidence to that effect.

I choose M-W-F because I just didn't want to pin it everyday. I'll keep trying it.

Have you noticed any difference in your ensurance during workouts?

I tried 3ml this morning before my leg session and even after an hour of heavy legs, I felt I could have continued.

Definitely a noticeable difference.

Placebo, maybe.

I can't say that fairly. I was on TRT for the past year, only 50mg/wk was prescribed.

I doubled that and also added 100mg of NPP, split into 50mg x2/wk.

The NPP allows me to workout every day with feeling any recovery soreness. I do feel a wind exhausted after working my shoulders for 90 minutes, but every set is to failure. Chest/triceps is a 2hr w/o, biceps/forearms is 90 minutes and back/legs is 2hrs.

I have only taken 2 rest days since January.
 
I cant wait to get on TRT.

Have my bloods tomorrow and hopefully this baby and lack of sleep have tanked my test levels even further.

Tried 6 months ago but was just above acceptable TRT levels.
