Glucophage question .

[Narkissos]

Thinking to cycle glucophage for 6 to 8 weeks ( MAX ) , what do u guys think ??

I see no reason to cycle off it personally.

Run it through-out your cutting diet.

For those who dont allready know me , im 22 years old , i was a fat but i started my transformation plan last april 2008 ( and yes in less than a month and ill be wrapping up my first year of the transformation journey ) ,since i started ive allready lost about 72pounds of fat and gained somewhere around 25 pounds of muscles

Nice.

So please guys i need ur advice ( im making cardio exercises , trisets at the gym and a good diet almost no fats and very little amounts of carbs around 30g a day max )

You're consuming almost primarily protein?

I think you need to modify your diet... particularly if you're going to use glucophage.

Moderate carb, moderate protein, low fat (not to be confused with 'no-fat').

Ingesting some fats is essential to fat loss... at least if you're concerned with maintaining skin/hair quality, keeping your immune system at peak efficiency, favourable hormone output, cortisol mediation, the assimilation of fat-soluble nutrients...etc. I could go on and on mate.

Visit the diet forum... Have your diet checked out.

It's served you thus far... but it can always be improved on.

i wanna know how to properly cycle glucophage to get that extra muscle mass i want , the dose , what to eat etc......

Thanks you guys i really need ur help

If huge increases in muscle mass is what you're searching for, you're looking at the wrong compound mate.

Glycogen supercompensation... favourable nutrient partitioning... and subsequently, fat-loss and improved recovery... yes.

Huge muscle mass increases? No.

First of all i want to thank everyone who replied to my questions but i have some comments on some of the replies if u dont mind

I was just about to say that gluco has nothing to do with gaining of muscle, all it does is control your blood glucose and is certainly not necessary in most cases unless you are diabetic.

Isnt Glucophage considered an anabolic substance ? it may not be compaired to HGH or Insulin or testo etc..... anabolic and androgenic wise but still its anabolic ( at least that's what i know from reading bout this substance " metformine hcl " )

I didnt mention anything bout getting huge , in fact i mentioned that getting huge isnt my goal and never was , what i really want to know is if its possible to get an increase of 30 to 50% more muscles gains with glucophage cuz i really dont want to run any steroids or insulin and HGH is too expensive so..... ??

NO, Metformin is hardly an anabolic substance by definition. It actually compromises the key aspects of what you would consider anabolic if you read the post above.
Insulin is anabolic, but metformin decreases its response to blood glucose as well as general baseline levels. IGF-1 and its signaling pathways are also inhibited to a degree as well. Put all this together in your head and you will have a better understanding.

So you dont want to have increase in muscle size but you want 30-50% muscle gains?? What does this mean to you??? To me it is very confusing and I can only surmise you mean strength and not mass since those would be the only 2 definitions of "muscle gains" you can apply to your statement.

Either way, both these goals are not something you should look to metformin for help with.

Glad someone said this.
