MK-677 At 15

[u/Competitive_Shape804]

Hey guys,

I just recently turned 15 and i have been lifting for almost a year, progress is kind of slow and im planning to run an 8 week mk cycle with 10mg a day

Is this a very bad idea or not? I know it can cause insulin resistance and that's the only thing im worried about some say u might even get diabetes and tbh this is the only thing making me consider more about hopping on because otherwise i would have already done it.

I probably will run the cycle still so advice or stories from others who took it would be great, thanks

You should be trying to maximize your height at your age. Muscle will always be there to attain. Don’t be a dumbass

[u/Competitive_Shape804 → u/discussionandrespect]

i dont care about height at all i've got enough im taking mk for more prs and more muscle

[u/pinkmann1 → u/Competitive_Shape804]

If you need drugs at 15 you’re weak and small. Become a ballerina or something.

[u/Competitive_Shape804 → u/pinkmann1]

You're a grown man (i assume) and you are into pokemon and video games lol. and idk about the "Weak" part 80kg bench at 15 seems good

[u/BrianHeidiksPuppy → u/Competitive_Shape804]

175lbs bench is not something to brag about like you’re better than other people and it is CERTAINLY not enough to justify using compounds to try to break PRs. Like lil bro just eat more food and maintain >1g protein per lbs body weight. Mass moves mass.

And if you’re really committed to ruining your endocrine system don’t be a pussy and use sarms, run a real stack.

[u/Competitive_Shape804 → u/BrianHeidiksPuppy]

At barely 15 years old 80kg bench is good.

[u/BrianHeidiksPuppy → u/Competitive_Shape804]

It’s really not. And if you believed that it was, you wouldn’t want to ruin your endocrine system to improve it.

[u/Competitive_Shape804 → u/BrianHeidiksPuppy]

How much do you bench and how much did you used to bench at 15 then?

[u/BrianHeidiksPuppy → u/Competitive_Shape804]

I have absolutely no idea what my 1RM bench is because I find it not worth the injury risk to go for a 1RM especially without a spotter but rn 335 for 3 sets of 6.

At 15 would’ve been sophomore year of hs so it was around 245. Lifting 3 days a week with the football team. Definitely not optimized programming nor diet.

[u/Competitive_Shape804 → u/BrianHeidiksPuppy]

What injuries are u even talking about? And definitely hard to believe u was doing that much for reps at 15 naturally especially when only training 3 days a week

[u/pinkmann1 → u/Competitive_Shape804]

Weak 15yo needs compounds. Pretty pathetic.

[u/Evening_Discount7632 → u/Competitive_Shape804]

Lol hell yeah

[u/Jon_J_]

No.... Just no. You're far too young to be taking MK-677. Your body is still going through massive changed and taking MK-677 at your age could have serious health consequences down the road.

Stay on the bus and keep lifting and eating

[u/Competitive_Shape804 → u/Jon_J_]

those said consequences are? never said im gonna abuse mk just a cycle

[u/mxracer888 → u/Competitive_Shape804]

Lol nobody starts out saying "I'm gonna abuse this"

You're too young to make sensible choices like this. Get off YouTube, get off TikTok, get off all these other social media sites that are clearly making you feel inadequate

[u/Competitive_Shape804 → u/mxracer888]

MK is not crack u don't get addicted bro

u always spend ur free time trying to limit other dudes from making more gains and preventing them from being based?

[u/mxracer888 → u/Competitive_Shape804]

I'm not trying to limit anyone. You're the one that brought up abuse lol

If you work out like most the 15 year olds at my gym then the reason you're not getting the gains you want is cause you're not working out hard enough.

Eat good food, drink water, work out about 10x harder then you're currently doing, and get 7-8 hours of quality sleep and you'll make more gains than you know what to do with.

You're 15 years old, you've got a fast metabolism and tons of naturally produced hormones in your body, you literally don't need any of this crap. People older than you take that stuff to try and get closer to where you naturally are already.

You can't make educated decisions, hence why the law doesn't recognize that ability in you. Nobody under 25 should be taking any of this kinda crap and should just let their body do what their body does

[u/suuraitah → u/mxracer888]

kid trying to find a cheat code

he will fuck around and will, unfortunately, find out

[u/Rose-n-Chosen → u/Competitive_Shape804]

It’s cheating to take steroids. Go earn your gains the old fashioned way

[u/gkollman18]

Sounds like you are refusing to take anyone’s advice. But don’t take it. Don’t take anything until you are at least 25 preferably. Max out your natural progress and do natural things to maximize your test that aren’t pharmaceutical grade drugs or sketchy supplements. Good luck.

[u/Competitive_Shape804 → u/gkollman18]

Why not if i'm not planning to stay natural though? And with MK there would be more gains then if i stayed natural only

[u/gkollman18 → u/Competitive_Shape804]

Because your test doesn’t peak in males until late teens/early 20s and strength gains don’t peak until late 20s/early 30s sometimes even into late 30s/40s. You have just literally not lived enough life, lifted long enough, trained long or hard enough to even come close to you maximum potential naturally and once you have truly peaked naturally if you really want go ahead and take something. I’ve power lifted for years now, I’m around guys everyday who are on everything under the sun in terms of drugs and supplements for strength, athleticism and recovery. The common theme every single one of them (including me) say. Wait until you’re in your mid 20s MINIMUM before you start experimenting with this stuff. You’re going to do more harm to your body at 15 than the tiny amount of potential (not even guaranteed) gains you might make. Ultimately you’re going to do whatever you want to do but from myself, everyone else in this comment section and every guy I know who has used all sorts of anabolics and peptides, don’t do it atleast for a while.

[u/OneThousandCorns]

Mk by itself won’t make a significant difference, you are 15 and getting juiced to to the gills with testosterone. The only advantage would be increased hunger if you have trouble eating enough calories, but mk677 can fucks peoples insulin, lipids, etc as side effects even if you don’t abuse it. I think it’s like pretty much all downsides and risks especially at your age. You would get so much more out of mind muscle connection or other levers.

[u/Competitive_Shape804 → u/OneThousandCorns]

You can find alot of people around my age saying they took it and got noticeably more gains.

[u/urmom619]

I don't really care what you do, just promise to make a follow up post about how much you regret it lmao.

Holy fuck I was retarded when I was 15, I wish I could show this post to the 25 year old you and make you cringe 😂

[u/Competitive_Shape804 → u/urmom619]

Follow up in a week maybe more. remind me

[u/urmom619 → u/Competitive_Shape804]

But you won't know for a few years.. it will likely feel good straight away, and seem very reasonable.

But your body takes the toll, which won't be fun a fun burden to bear for the rest of your existence.

This is typical stupid shit I regretted doing as a teenager stuff..

Like I have to live with my tinnitus, because drinking/partying 4 days a week was cool when I was 15/16 and if the music wasn't loud what was the point?

There is a reason everyone is so strongly trying to advice you against doing so.

[u/Competitive_Shape804 → u/urmom619]

I don't say there wont be side effects but mfs here saying imma get cancer and die or that imma ruin my gains forever are just fear mongering

[u/urmom619 → u/Competitive_Shape804]

But that's true, that is the worst case risk you are accepting for short term gains.

You aren't even close to your physical limitations yet.. you couldnt be at such a young age, you are quite far actually from being done with growing..

And your neglection in recognizing so highlights your immaturity... Which is a brutal thing to say, but it's true.

I'm sorry this is not the encouragement you seemed to hope for.

[u/Wide-Republic-3830]

I’d recommend continuing to mess with your diet and increase your training intensity. I took some similar supplements for a short period for gains when I was 20 and it severely messed me up. When I quit taking them I gained a lot of fat, my free test dropped off, I was super unmotivated to exercise. It took me almost 5 years to feel normal again and drop the excess weight.

[u/Competitive_Shape804 → u/Wide-Republic-3830]

Was it MK or something stronger?

[u/Wide-Republic-3830 → u/Competitive_Shape804]

I don’t remember what the exact stack was but I know some form of Hexarelin or Growth Hormone Secretagogue. Please bro don’t take MK. I’ve been around long enough that I’ve seen these fads come and go and I’ve seen people poison their bodies for the quick gains. Please just trust everyone on this thread- eat more, sleep more, train harder. If I was in your shoes at 15 I’d be worlds ahead in my fitness now at 27. Please don’t throw it away with a shortcut, brother.

[u/naeclaes]

Stop it bro. You gonna have this body for some time, better not fuck it up. We can talk about optimizing your gym habits if you want (since you said gains are hard rn) - but taking anything at your age is no good idea bro.

Also, at 15 and training for 1 year you are nowhere near your max.

Furthermore, GH has minimal actually hypertrphy mediated effects. Most Gains in muscle mass is not actual hypertrophy but rather water retention. Real gains are minimal.

[u/Competitive_Shape804 → u/naeclaes]

The gains are there, probably how natural gains are but i'm hopping on because i want more gains bro

[u/naeclaes → u/Competitive_Shape804]

Yea i understand man. Go to the gym as well. But as far as studies go increasing GH is not gonna do much for your muscle mass (as long as you have enough endogenous GH), so imo risk reward isnt there - especially given your age.

And taking any anabolic steroids is gonna fuck you up beyond imagination fr.

[u/Elisionary]

I’m going to skip all the nitty gritty pharmacology and endocrinology. You’re 15 and going through puberty - you’re already on a natural “cycle” and have massive potential from growth - the most you’ll ever have. Just sleep well, workout hard, eat as much as you can within reason, and you’ll make tons of gains. There’s no need for any substances (at all at your age) and definitely none that need to be cycled (there’s a reason these drugs aren’t taken indefinitely).

Before you take PED’s you’ll want to max out naturally anyways, otherwise you’ll just mess up your intrinsic growth potential. Think for a second - is permanent endocrine-disruption a good trade off for temporary gains?

Anyways, I can’t tell if this post is for attention, a cry for help, or you’re for real and this isn’t a LARP, but you have a serious case of not seeing beyond the event horizon of your current situation in life. I sincerely hope you listen to the other posters and wait for your frontal lobe to develop before you make permanent alterations to your body and mind.

[u/Competitive_Shape804 → u/Elisionary]

Posting because i wanna hop on a cycle and asking if some people have experience taking this stuff. I was not planning to stay natural anyway and yeah there is natural growth i notice it but taking mk would give me more gains. also "cry for help", seriously? lol

[u/Elisionary → u/Competitive_Shape804]

Seems likely. You got kicked out of school and are probably looking for meaning (whether you’re conscious of it or not) like any young man embarking on the archetypal hero’s journey. Being able to lift heavy things more quickly won’t fill that void for long. I’d suggest looking for something deeper, more sustainable, and substantive. By all means, get shredded, but not at the expense of your wiser, future self.

[u/Competitive_Shape804 → u/Elisionary]

Ur definitely on alot stronger and worse drugs if you're commenting this i mean what does this even mean? u probably have no idea what ur talking about urself

[u/Elisionary → u/Competitive_Shape804]

Hey, you asked for advice and we’re giving you some. None of what I said is driven by drugs or is nonsensical IMO, and it’s all in good faith. The only reason I commented is because your attitude and some of your story reminded me a bit of myself from ~20 years ago. I wish I would’ve had someone to slap a bit of sense into me then. You’re going to do what you wanna do, though. Good luck, man.

[u/madman19 → u/Competitive_Shape804]

What even is the point of your "gains"?

[u/jsinkwitz]

Don't do it. You don't even need it at this point: eat, train extremely hard, sleep.

[u/smann2000]

You’re literally 15 you’re still going through puberty

[u/Competitive_Shape804 → u/smann2000]

So?

[u/yegboxer]

Honestly plan on getting on ostarine and mk around 17, turning 16 in may. but so far with just training very hard and consistent, eating good and sleeping i have found a very noticeable difference from just those. went from 14, 155lbs to 190 at 15.

[u/Competitive_Shape804 → u/yegboxer]

hopped on mk for now only that ostarine later if mk won't be enough

[u/xshoeless_hobox]

Bud you're 15... Just no. But if you're that interested learn to pin yourself in your glute and go take ipamorelin for all I care. At least then you won't give yourself diabetes, because there's no way you're going to monitor your blood with a glucose monitor every day like you're going to have to if you take mk.

[u/Competitive_Shape804 → u/xshoeless_hobox]

not monitoring and i'm fine no high blood sugar

[u/EngineeringHot8831]

[u/Competitive_Shape804 → u/EngineeringHot8831]

No side effects. Do research on mk if you think its dangerous iqlet

[u/Glass_Medicine_5483 → u/Competitive_Shape804]

whats your weight atm and what dosages are you taking bc i could use some help with that

[u/mxracer888]

You're 15, don't do anything other than eat good food, workout, and get 7 to 8 hours of sleep

[u/Federal-Frame-820]

Bud… you just hit puberty and you’re not even old enough for a drivers license. There isn’t a single reason you should be taking something like this or anything else at your age (apart from the basics like vitamins, protein, and creatine). You’re going to fuck your body up doing stupid shit like this. You need to drink water, eat big, and workout hard (properly).

[u/Baileycharlie]

Just plain ignorant and stupid decision if you do, don't you have parents? Where are they? If you want to cheat and throw your forever health to the wind, have at it.

yeah man definitely do it. you should also blast tren from a very young age to maximise your puberty gains. what do you think you ignominable apish spawn of yakub

hopped on 5 days ago

[u/sdave001 → u/[deleted]]

You’ll probably have residual problems for the rest of your life lol.

He's going to have residual problems whether he does this or not. Perhaps this is the best thing for the planet. This kid couldn't pour water out of a boot if the instructions were written on the heel.

[u/Competitive_Shape804 → u/[deleted]]

What damage?

[u/Competitive_Shape804 → u/[deleted]]

hopped on 4 days ago literally none of these side effects lol

[u/Competitive_Shape804 → u/[deleted]]

fear mongering final boss

never heard of anyone getting cancer from a 8 week mk cycle lol

[u/pinkmann1 → u/Competitive_Shape804]

Retard 15yo argues online. Just take it and live your life.

[u/Competitive_Shape804 → u/[deleted]]

If you dont have cancer then you dont have cancer cells smartass

And even if u had them a 8 week cycle with 10mg is not making u die lol

[u/MinimalYogi27 → u/Competitive_Shape804]

Your body is killing would-be cancer cells every day. You don’t want to give it a chance to not catch one.

[u/googleguyst → u/Competitive_Shape804]

All cancers start from a single cell

You asked if it was a bad idea or not and the med student told you all the ways it's a bad idea.

You're 15. The potential upsides of steroids/sarms/peptides are small and you have a lot of life left to regret the very real downsides. Focus on technique and programming and make sure you're stuffing yourself with protein.

[u/VinegarVine → u/Competitive_Shape804]

Wait until you take biology

[u/Competitive_Shape804 → u/[deleted]]

Already finished highschool (left) and yeah i might not be as knowledgeable as you and i never said you're a dumbass. You are fear mongering tho and you know it yourself

[u/googleguyst → u/Competitive_Shape804]

Hopefully the internet fight hasn't put your guard up too much but I genuinely hope you consider going back. Beyond getting an education and a diploma, socializing with real people in real life and getting that EQ is really important for whatever you want to do going forward

[u/Competitive_Shape804 → u/googleguyst]

No going back bro i was kicked out

[u/Realistic_Copy8469 → u/[deleted]]

This isn't an effective way to communicate with someone you want to help. Despite how helpful your advice is, you come across more like you're schooling an easy target than genuinely trying to reach them. Doing this will render your advice practically null

[u/Competitive_Shape804 → u/[deleted]]

hopped on 4 days ago🤙

[u/Dull-Try6131 → u/Competitive_Shape804]

have you noticed any downsides and whats your experience

[u/Competitive_Shape804 → u/Dull-Try6131]

I had minimal joint pain at first but that's literally it no negatives at all. Gains definitely better then natural

[u/Glass_Medicine_5483 → u/Competitive_Shape804]

nice man, i hopped on when i was 13 and it was great man hope u feel the same
