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?
Have
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.
OKAY.....I did a lot of reading/research yesterday; I did do a lot before ordering Mots-C.
But reading peoples comments about how they had so much energy when going to the gym just clouded my thinking. I cleared my mind and it finally sunk in. I apologize if you already know this.
"Deesol" and I were expecting it to have a energetic or stim feeling like a pre-workout.
It does NOT do that. It is not a stimulant. It is known to improve physical performance by acting as a mitochondrial-derived peptide that optimizes cellular metabolism and energy production.
So with that said, here is what I noticed since I started 1 1/2weeks ago.
1. I lost 2lbs in 1 1/2 weeks. I think that's a lot. It's the most I lost this month in that time frame. I'm now at 141lbs. I can rest assure I have not lost any lean muscle tissue. I will attach a pic I took at the gym today. My cheap weight scale indicates I went up 0.2 in muscle mass.
2. This might be normal progressive overload, but I increased about 25% of my reps by at least 1 in the last week using the same weight. I will have to monitor this over the next few weeks.
3. I think this is most important and it confirms what "jimmyjames01" mentioned. I do not feel exhausted at the end of my 90 minute workout. I walked through the parking lot today so fast that I actually walked past my car....lol. I feel like I can keep working out or go for a run.
To sum it up, I believe Mots-C is working. I was just under the assumption that I would feel some stim.
And I will stay with the Mon-Wed-Fri 5mg pin because....The biological effects, including AMPK pathway activation and improved insulin sensitivity persist for 24–72 hours or longer, as the peptide triggers lasting changes in mitochondrial function and cellular metabolism.
Took this pic quickly this morning....
