Quoted from my final review in my log.
Okay Ladies and Gents, the time has come to wrap this bad boy up in style! I want to thank Olympus Labs for the opportunity to run this. It has given the me the exact jump start I really needed to get comfortable in my own skin again! The product stack was a big win in my book.
Let's talk a bit about the experience first and then I will zero in on a few traits of each product.
Week 1 8mg a day Rad, and 20mg GHAR1NE- Initial kicking was a holy shyt experience! I immediately gained 5 lbs in the first 3 days and was up almost 6 by the end of the week. This was while eating in a deficit!!!!! The GDA capabilities of the RADAR1NE are just incredible!!!!! I also started sleeping better from the first dose of GHAR1NE! Noticed Yellowing of urine, not like liver issues but more like peeing out vitamins type brighter yellow.
Weeks 2-3 I stayed roughly the same weight just recomping at that point. I was looking surprisingly good and the fullness of my muscles was insane. I attribute this to both the GHAR1NE & RADAR1NE since GHAR1NE is well known for increasing IGF-1 levels. I thought I began to feel a little malaise and that lethargy was kicking in but it never got bad like others experienced I think this was due to me doubling up my vitamins incase this was leeching vitamin B from my body. I also bumped my RADAR1NE dose to 12 here so I could be off earlier to avoid the lethargy.
Weeks 4-5 I got sick twice over this 2 week period. For the most part I had some type of stomach sensitivity throughout the run. However these two weeks I actually got sick to the point of vomiting and diarrhea twice. I can not be sure it was related to the products and kind of doubt it was caused by it. However, I can definitely say there was some mild stomach distress from the onset of the cycle. Seems others taking GHAR1NE said they had acid reflux and indigestion from the GHAR1NE upon starting. Most people this passed quickly but I actually have acid refux so I think I never fully got over the irritation. It was not a massive deal but I think the added sensitivity probably made it easier for me to get the 2 bouts of yuck the last two weeks. Not a show stopper by any means!!!!! Anyway I dropped my weight back down a good bit and have been depleted the last few days because I missed my workouts until Thursday so I wasn't eating many carbs. More protein and fats.
Noteworthy Attributes:
RADAR1NE -
PROS - What appears to be massive GDA / Nutrient partitioning properties, extremely fast gains during the first week. Amazing for recomping while in a deficit!!!!! Strength definitely improved but pretty much in line with the new muscle size.
CONS - Yellowing of urine possibly vitamin leeching or affecting liver. (More likely the vitamins.) Others got severe lethargy, I did not but it started to kick in a little before I added extra vitamins daily.
GHAR1NE -
PROS - Better sleep, some vivid dreams, helped with leaning, appetite increase (great if bulking), health benefits, joint benefits over longer period of time.
CONS - Seems to cause various levels of acid reflux in many individuals. I controlled mine with Nexium and it was fine after that.
Unidentified Source Cons - not sure which, Prostate definitely increased in size n this cycle. Also had a few recurring issues with mild constipation and had to use Magnesium and Triphala daily to stay regular. That did the trick so this is manageable but noteworthy.
All in all I really enjoyed this cycle and more so than when taking a stronger methylated DS because I got amazing results in my opinionand didn't feel like crap most of the time.
Now for what you have been waiting for. Some stats and of course before and after pictures.
Beginning 8/23/15 > Final 10/3/15
Weight - 210.3 lbs > 210.3 lbs
Waist at belly button 41 1/2 > 36 7/8 - almost 4 inches down.
Conventional Dead Lift - 435 > 510 - Awesome, some of this was muscle memory too, but the most I ever pulled before this was 475 when doing them regularly.
Floor Press - 315 > 325 - I think I have 335 in me.
Bench Press I will update later today after I lift.
I injured the back of my knee at some point so sprinting and running got put on hold and effected my level of cardio as well so I can not update on increased speed or stamina.
Now for the pics. The first set are OBVIOUSLY before pictures. Keep in mind I am exactly the same weight right now. Probably be 213-214 and fuller if I had more carbs in me though.
So what do you guys think of the final result? No games played, or doing anything trying to look good for the pics. Got up emptied the bladder, brushed my teeth weighed myself and took the pictures. You can tell I was still half asleep by how my eyes look in the pics.
