Methyl 1-D

I am a bit weary of even lookin at the stop but I am just wondering if anyone knows if it would be beneficial or not. I am 24, currently on a stack with NO Explode, Cell Mass and Syntha6 ... which is working great so far but I am starting to plateau.

I have gained approximately 20lbs in the last 4.5 months, my BF has increased slightly by about 1.5% so I am on a very clean diet for the most part.

I know a little about prohormones but just wondering whether or not someone in my position would benefit from it or not, or whether I just should stick with what I am doing now.

Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks guys.

If you're hitting a plateau, instead of taking more supplements, you should change up your routine a bit.

If you want to really blast through your plateau, maybe you should try the 'Squats and Milk' Program.

If you aren't rich enough to buy a gallon of milk per day to feed your muscles on the 'squat and milk' program, then maybe you need to try out a pretty hardcore weight gainer like ABB Extreme XXL Weight Gainer.

On a side note, you'll obviously be plateauing if you're trying to gain muscle but are dieting at the same time. You should bulk, and then hit back into low-intensity when dieting for the cut. And don't forget about periodization.

Thanks a lot for your input ... I will consider a different diet/workoutI guess I am just frustrated at this point. I am stuck at about 162lbs ... I eat a lot and drink about a gallon every two days. Or at least try to.

When I hit my plateau some months back, I changed barbell workouts to dumbbell workouts and dumbbell workouts to barbell workouts. Everything worked out pretty well. No supps except for protein.

If you absolutely wanna take something though, to give you some extra pump, forget Methyl 1-D and try RPM:

Great product, but the caffeine has me up for hours. If you're sensitive to caffeine, they're releasing a non-stim version pretty soon.

you are not eating enough.
I am willing to bet that you have not eaten more to reflect that you now weigh more.

Wake up: Protein shake
Shower
Breakfast: 4 eggs whole, 2 whites 2 pieces of honey oat bread
Snack: Trail mix, 1 cup of yogurt, protein shake
Lunch: 2x Toast Tuna Sandwiches, piece of fruit, cup of yogurt and granola
Snack: Protein shake and some of fruit
Pre: 3 scoops NO Explode, whey shake
Workout for 1.5hrs
Post: Cellmass with 6 BCAA caps
Dinner: 1x large chicken breast, cup of rice, vegetable and 2 glasses of milk

I think I eat quite a bit and I very RARELY cheat at all. Alcohol has been cut completely out of my life which has made a huge difference. I have gained almost 18lbs in muscle in 4 months, I think I am making good progress but I can see myself starting to plateau is all.

Try out what I suggested for a couple weeks, it's worked for me and 5 or 6 friends that I suggested the idea to, too.

your diest is really good, the only thing I would tweak is to save your fruit only when you wake up and in your PWO meal

Thanks, I am going to try it out for sure ... For the most part I can exchange the dumbs for straight bar, I will post my progress after one month and let you know.

Thanks all for your suggestions, no ProH for me I guess.

you can add dropsets, 3x3s, supersets, negatives, etc to your workout to hit your muscles harder and in different ways.

Agreed.

Also, the second time I plateau'd (sp?), I took 2 weeks off. I felt like a complete piece of ****, but it worked. When I got back into it, I was stronger than before. Sometimes your muscles just need a vacation I guess.

Try RPM if you want a supplement though. Or you can try a free sample of it:
