Well Hello Everyone! Has been a while since I actually logged a product. I didn't have any plans of it but the new stuff from Olympus Labs UK just proved to be too exciting for me to sit back and not experience. I want to thank the OlympusLabs team for sponsoring this run.
I will give you all a little but about each product to help set up expectations.
RADAR1NE - A highly anabolic SARM, touting what looks to be the most anabolic ratio of the SARMS that I have seen before. Characteristics thus far seem to lean toward extreme glycogen retention creating quick size gains, and all day pumps.
GHAR1NE - A non peptide based GH secretagogue - it increases GH, and IGF-1 levels greatly. Aids in lbm gains, fat loss, healing, and a plethora of other body functions. I am using it for the healing and fat loss aspects the most.
Dosing Plans -
RADAR1NE - Weeks 1-2 = 4mg, Weeks 3-4 = 8mg, and Weeks 5-6 = 12mg - I will stick with this unless I end up getting a second bottle.
GHAR1NE - Weeks 1-2 10mg, Weeks 3-5 20mg and 30mg for the remaining caps.
So let's get into this a bit. Those of you who know me know I was an Olympus Labs rep for a while before life got to hectic and I had to take a break. However I assure you that my having been a rep will not have any bearing on my opinion of the product.
Well I ended up taking a break from lifting and dieting as well. I got out of shape in a bad way. Gained about 20lbs of fat and lost some muscle in the process. By February I was bouncing between 225 & 230 and looking sloppy! Since then I started lifting again and gradually got some muscle back and lost a little fat. About 5-6 weeks ago I was in better shape but still about 227 and quite soft and jiggly for my taste. I started training with more athletic performance based training, working on speed, explosiveness, strength and stamina at that time and concentrated a little more on nutrition. Since then I have dropped to 210.3 and strength is coming up. I think I have already been through the initial bounce back regarding gaining lean mass from muscle memory since it has been several months of training now.
Specific Goals - Fat Loss, Increased Stamina, Increased Performance, Improved Composition and Recovery. I will not complain with a few added LBM however fat loss, composition & performance will be the main goals.
Current Training - 3 main training days each week. Each day is a whole body workout focusing on different aspects for each group of each workout. Very athletic based, including sled drags, medicine ball work, sprints, time tested mile runs, time tested complexes. A minimum of 2 days a week is spent on conditioning work. Again that will be sled drags, sprints, weighted carries, car pushes, battle ropes, medicine balls and occasionally LISS. My "off days" tend to rotate around my 3 main training days. Sometimes they are mid week on Tuesday or Thursday and sometimes they are on the weekend. I tend to do things with my daughter on the weekend to help her train for gymnastics so often my rest days end up during the week. I also change the days of my lifts depending on what is going on around me. So basically My normal workout may be set for Mon-Wed-Frim but I may end up doing Tuesday-Thurs-Sat, or any combination there of. So long as each week I get my 3 main training sessions in.
Nutrition - I am working on dialing in my nutrition. I have tons of knowledge in that regard but have never really trained for athleticism and thus I have to find my optimal macro ratio for performance gains while leaning up. So far I have been able to increase carbohydrates a bit. I will continue adjusting in order to keep both performance and fat loss as efficient as possible. I have a challenge I am participating in that I need to have my top 4 abs visible by Halloween so being lean is the biggest focus.
Pictures and Updates - I will take some pictures tonight or tomorrow for my beginning pics and will post up progress photos at least every two weeks. As I get leaner pictures will become more frequent as my confidence increases. I will also more than likely start videoing some of my training. When I put my beginning pics up I will post them here as well.
Current Stats as of 8/23/15 -
210.3lbs
Lifts I have tested recently -
Max Floor Press - 315
Max Box Squat - 465
Max Conventional Dead Lift 435
Max Sumo DL - 435
Max Weighted Chin Up - +90lbs
100m sprint 15.7 seconds
Broad Jump 8'10"
These are just for reference points of lifts I have tested in the last few weeks since starting the Garage Gym Gladiator coaching by Zach Even-esh! Since I am working on cutting up I want to track some lifts to make sure I am not losing strength. I am hoping with the assistance of the RADAR1NE and GHAR1NE I will see some strength gains. I am also very tempted to add in CARDAR1NE, and may go ahead and get a second bottle of RAD if I do.
I will take my first dose of both products tonight.
