Truthornothin's Ursobolic Log The Whole Truth and Nothing But the Truth!

[truthornothin]

I started Ursobolic this morning.

I am a 46 year old maleI've been working out for approximately 20+ years

6'1" 204 lbs
Measurements:

Bi's: 18" Right 17.75" Left

Chest 49'

stomach 34

Thighs 26.5

BF 8%




My diet is on the low carb side but not totally carb deficient

Macros: 50%protein 25%carbs 25% fat, I vary my diet according to my look. If I am looking flat I bump up the carbs and reduce the fats, if I feel that I am gaining fat I drop the carbs,



I just came off ostarine. I am using this in PCT in hopes of maintaining my gains and becoming perhaps leaner or at the very least able to eat a reasonable amount without losing my definition. I just came off a cut and unfortunately a bad personal situation wreck my last week, so I am not as lean as I was the week prior. Need 50 post to post pics? I've already posted pics some time ago I am puzzled on this one, guess I had better start posting

I am going to run this for 8 weeks at the 9 cap a day dosage.
I intend to try to recomp perhaps gaining a few pounds of muscle while losing a little more fat. I think for this compound the camera will be the best judge of results. I will post weekly pics after week 2. That is going to be the difficult part of this log getting through two weeks of no expected results.


Observations:
Today just started taking Ursobolic and appetite is definitely reduced. Could be placebo effect as I was expecting that. I also noticed I was hot as hell at work and sweating like a pig, have the ac on now and still sweating. It appears this stuff has an immediate effect on core temp. That, I wasn't expecting.

Will not log diet today as basically I didn't eat, still stressed over my personal issue drank 5 protein shakes 50 grams each whey only

Took my Ursobolic doses with 2 tbsp of natty peanut butter each.

Workout:

Back and bi's
very heavy, No cardio Truthornothin' does not do cardio. Tomorrow will post pics and will be back on track nutritionally will post detailed nutrition intake as I weigh my food so this'll be pretty precise. Hope some of you sign on for the ride.

First one INNNN

Subbed!! Everything looks good so far. Let's see how good this product really is!!!!

In for The Whole Truth and Nothing But the Truth

[truthornothin]

Day Two:

Took 3 caps 3 times over the course of the day

Nutrition:

Breakfast:

4 whole eggs
25 grams of oatmeal
8 oz V-8 juice

Mid Morning:

50 Grams Whey Protein
30 grams of almonds

Afternoon:
50 grams of Whey Protein
30 grams almonds

Pre Workout:

2 servings White Flood
1 serving Purple Wraath

Post Work Out:

50 Grams of protein
30 grams oat starch

Workout:

Today was chest, delts and tris

I did my standard workout nothing new to report its only day two. I was able to work chest hard for the first time in a while as I've been nursing an injured shoulder and elbow was able to push for the first time in a month on chest and it felt good. Shoulders and tris good too.

Observations:

Appetite suppression, but not extreme just not always hungry like I usually am. I love to eat stay this lean is hard.

Heat, noticed that I still feel warmer and am sweating more profusely That is all, I am not going to say I feel all these effects from it at this point . This is my log but its for your benefit. Tell me what information you are looking for and I'll share it. If you want more detailed work out info let me know. Here are the before pics

[ConcreteConny]

Nice update. And glad to see you will be posting before and after pictures (no homo)
I hope you are sticking to your regular diet... That way we could gauge the effects solely from Ursobolic

Or are you going to change it up much?

Interested to hear your reply and props on the pics. When I get back on the computer I'll sen you some reps.

Pics are important, without them you can say anything you want, pics are the proof. My diet I actually intend to increase calories after week 2 to intentionally test the effects of this compound I can cut on my own with out a supp if I just have to cut my calories. I am hoping I can be looser with my diet and still keep my abs, that would be worth the price Ya' know?

Thanks man, I can use the reps. I intend to make this a good test. Again anything you guys want me to keep track of or that you want to know that I am not posting let me know. I am open to input.

Will do and good luck with the run. I'll check in as often as I can.

That sounds like a great plan

I want this log to be informative too check out this article, at my age I am just as interested in Ursobolic's many health benefits as I am its muscle building fat burning effects

Abstract
Ursolic acid (UA) is pentacyclic triterpenoic acid that naturally occurs in many medicinal herbs and plants. In this study, we examined the possible suppressive effect of UA extracted from Oldenlandia diffusa on zymosan-induced acute inflammation in mice and complete Freund's adjuvant (CFA)-induced arthritis in rats. UA treatment (per oral) dose-dependently (25-200 mg kg(-1)) suppressed zymosan-induced leucocyte migration and prostaglandin E2 (PGE(2)) production in the air pouch exudates. Since the maximal effective dose of UA was 50 mg kg(-1) in the zymosan experiment, we used this dose of UA in a subsequent study using an adjuvant-induced rheumatoid arthritis model. UA treatment (50 mg kg(-1), per oral, once a day for 10 days) was started from day 12 after adjuvant injection. UA dramatically inhibited paw swelling, plasma PGE(2) production and radiological changes in the joint caused by CFA injection. Moreover, UA significantly suppressed the arthritis-induced mechanical and thermal hyperalgesia as well as the spinal Fos expression, as determined by immunohistochemistry, which was increased by CFA injection. In addition, overall anti-arthritic potency of UA was comparable with ibuprofen (100 mg kg(-1), oral) while UA did not induce significant gastric lesions as compared with the ibuprofen treatment group. These findings strongly suggest that UA is a useful suppressive compound for rheumatoid arthritis treatment with low risk of gastric problems.

Abstract
Ursolic acid is a triterpenoid that exists in nature and is the major component of some traditional medicinal herbs. In this study, ursolic acid has been evaluated for its hepatoprotective effect against chronic ethanol-mediated toxicity in rats. Ethanol administration (7.9 g/kg/day) for 60 days resulted in increased oxidative stress, decreased antioxidant defense and liver injury. It also negatively affected the serum total protein, albumin and A/G ratio. Subsequent to the experimental induction of toxicity (i.e. after the initial period of 30 days) ursolic acid treatment performed by co-administering ursolic acid (10, 20 and 40 mg/kg body weight) for 30 days along with the daily dose of ethanol. While this treatment causing a significant improvement in body weight, food intake and serum protein levels, it decreases serum aminotransferase activities (aspartate aminotransferase and alanine aminotransferase) and total bilirubin levels. Ursolic acid improved the antioxidant status of alcoholic rats, which is evaluated by the decreased levels of lipid peroxidation markers in plasma (thiobarbituric acid reactive substances and lipid hydroperoxides) and increased levels of circulatory antioxidants such as reduced glutathione, ascorbic acid and alpha-tocopherol. Histopathological observations were also in correlation with the biochemical parameters. The activity of ursolic acid (20 mg/kg) compares well with silymarin, a known hepatoprotective drug, and seems to be better in certain parameters. The protective effect of ursolic acid is probably related to its antioxidant activities.

Hmmm! May be more protective than Milk Thistle, Seems like an excellent PCT choice

Interestingly this makes me want to take more methylated phs. Haha

Man if I had known that I would have ordered it @14.99 and just run two bottles for on month...
Sub it out for my ala/nac purchase this month. Lol

[dollar662]

In very intrested as I have 8 bottles coming
