Osta cycle

[ydahsmils2001]

I thought I would post a little on my experience with osta rx.

I'm 30, been training for 3+ years solid. Currently 185lbs 6ft, about 9% bf

I'm currently in week 8 if a 12 week cutting cycle. I decided to start Osta last week to help maintain as much lean mass as I can while cutting.

Day one: I decided to start with 3 caps and run the cycle for 30days. Since the half life is 24hrs I decided to take all three at the same time.

Workout was bench day, went as usual. No real effects noted as it was day 1. I felt drained and tired but I have been since cutting. Workouts have been tough to complete.

Day 2: didn't feel much different, took 3 caps again about mid-morning.

Workout was in the afternoon. Today was squat/leg day.

Back squat: 135x10, 225x10, 295x5, 345x5, 395x6, 395x5, 395x7, 400x6

Leg press: 630x10, 600x13, 600x11, 600x9

Leg extension: 220x8, 220x8, 220x9, 220x10

Lying leg curl: 110x8, 110x8, 110x8, 90x12

Standing calf raise superset with donkey calf raises: 345x20 and 28reps, 345x18 and 26reps, 345x15 and 18 reps.

Workout felt ok, still tough to complete but I felt like a had some stamina back. Could be mental though

Day 3:

Felt so worn down from the week all together! My back was killing me and I felt run over!

Took 3 caps again and just took a complete rest day!

 

[ydahsmils2001]

Day 4:

Felt 1000% better! Had a good nights sleep, 10hours!!

Back felt great. Everything felt good!

Took 3 caps.

Workout was chin-ups and row, with a little bi and tri to finish.

Workout felt amazing! I felt like I could have worked out for another 2 hours. I struggled with the weight, but the recovery and stamina were amazing!

I'm going to chalk this one up to osta. I haven't felt this good in weeks! I didn't change my diet. The only thing I'm taking is the osta, with a multivitamin, fish oil, creatine.

I'll keep you up to date!

 

[Mystere3]

Nice, glad you're getting nice results from it!

 

[kenpoengineer]

Subbed. I'm currently going into week 5 on IML Osta RX. So far it's been great for recomping with some strength gains. Only side so far is high BP.

 

[kenpoengineer]

Nice, glad you're getting nice results from it!

Mystere3, I noticed you are in most SARMS threads. Are you a rep or involved with selling SARMS? Just curious as you are very knowledgeable on these fairly new compounds.

 

[abformulations]

I'm in. Always wanted to try osta.

Nope, I'm just very interested in them as I think it's where the future of anabolics is going. I'm not involved with any supplement companies. I've done quite a lot of research on them though and have a scientific background.

Day 5: got up later today because I work nightshift.

Took 3 caps again.

I was a little tired, but overall felt pretty good. I was actually up one pound since I started this cycle. I noticed some more of my abs as well! So all positive.

I haven't had any adverse effects yet. No headaches, back pumps, etc.

Workout today was shoulders.

Again it was a great workout! The weight felt the same. No real increase in strength, but definitely an increase in recovery and stamina. I still felt I could bust out more sets. I also notice an increase in vascularity during my workout. Not really all the time yet, but during my workout for sure.

 

[ydahsmils2001]

Day 6:

Got little sleep today. Took another 3 tabs.

Weight was the same.

Workout today was focused on posterior chain. Main lift being Deadlift.

I switched it up a little during my warm-up and tried a few pseudo-sumo style deadlifts. I went back to conventional though as I approached my working weight. Felt a little more drained today, due to lack of sleep and working out later than usual. Stamina felt good though like before.

My strength was about the same no noticeable difference.

Here's to the next day!

 

[ydahsmils2001]

Day 7:

Rest day, took 3 caps.


Day 8:
Took another 3 caps.

Chest/bench press day.

Felt a little drained today weight is back down 1lb to 184. Still leaning out in the mirror. Strength in my work out felt pretty good, nothing extra ordinary. Stamina felt a little less though, mostly due to irregular sleep schedule from work.

Still no adverse effects noted.

Libido feels increased today though.

 

[ydahsmils2001]

Technically a rest day but I did get a massive arm and forearm workout install long tube headers on a dodge challenger!

I have noticed a pump in all my muscles though, just more like a fullness than anything. Didn't weigh myself these two days.

 

[Mystere3]

How's recomp going?

 

[ChefJoey]

Sorry if I missed it, but what brand are you running?

 

[ydahsmils2001]

How's recomp going?

Going excellent! I just have about a week left, I think Osta has really helped keep my lean mass. I didn't expect to gain anything because my diet is so low on carbs, under 100g/day.

It has definitely helped in my cut though! I am around 8-9% bf now!

 

[ydahsmils2001]

Sorry if I missed it, but what brand are you running?

Osta Rx by IML

 

[ydahsmils2001]

I even had some energy for some late night HIIT cardio.

Still no sides.

I will definitely be using this to cut again, I might even try low dose for maintaining gains during pct.

Day 29:

Rest day.

Still took 3 caps, will finish up tomorrow. Love this stuff.

 

[kenpoengineer]

Nice run. I agree with you on liking this compound for recomp and help keeping gains in PCT.

Day 30:

Final day!

Finished up with Deadlift day! Felt amazing! Strength felt up to par to before I started my cut.

Ended up at 181, according to my calculations, I ended up adding about 1 lb if LBM despite cutting, which is definitely amazing to me!

Great product! Will be using it again!

 

[Mystere3]

So you gained 1 lb LBM and lost 5 lb fat? Nice!

 

[ydahsmils2001]

So you gained 1 lb LBM and lost 5 lb fat? Nice!
