LOL great! I was worried. This log is a bible of great info.

Quick question, was there any study on UA and Blood pressure?

I must be goign through some mean stress atm because my blood pressure, which usually is REALLY low, is REALLY high the past couple days... Like I normally test around 100/55, at times it was so low I couldnt give blood... But yesterday it was 156/89... Thats higher than it has EVER been even while on Hdrol.... @100mgs...

hey truthornothin

What's the rundown so far? How much weight have you lost?
Click to expand...
hello, wasn't using it to lose weight and Ursobolic is not a weight loss supplement it is a fat loss supplement. If you will review the studies the mice gained muscle while losing fat which is what most of the users are reporting. My intent of this log was to see if it could keep me lean while eating an excess of calories. The last month have been an extreme test if you look through my log. I was injured off a week and ate like a pig through thanksgiving still maintained my muscle and leaness while eating a ton over maintenance

unless you are using T-3 or T-4 your thyroid is most likely fine. Even if you had still thyroid recovers despite bro' knowledge to the contrary. Stimulant abuse, however may down regulate your adrenal gland though

I've used otcs with t3, not actual cytomel tho..

Ive also used two (stacking) fat burners daily year round for the past 2-3 years sometimes including ephedra. I'm going to go non stim for two months (feb-march) n use revamp.. It's going to suck! Also been on n off t boosters, ai's etc since 16! N dabbled w anavar, dbol, winstrol, n nolva.. Lots could be going on within! Hope to find out soon

You should be ok, most damage comes with extended "on" periods. Better safe than sorry though. Good Luck

Observations:"State of the Ursobolic Nation"

Taking the next two days off from the gym need to do some healing. Joints have been taking a pounding, going to Jointforce the hell out of my knees and elbows the next couple days and not do anything strenuous. Ursobolic....its been good to me. I have never eaten with such free reign, I am not quite as ripped as I was my last set of photos ...but not far off, next week I'll be back to shredded, I plan on posting pics next weekend. I usually take months to get back to fighting trim after such binging, especially with a week of no working out. My blood pressure is lower, I've not been working out to my potential but I've maintained my muscle mass and my thighs are even better than ever. Very happy thus far two more bottles on the way:cool2:
 
Man you kill it in the gym, you deserve a two day break! haha

Good to know about the BP etc. Im having my bottles sent up to me now. Nutra is being hard, and they are not letting me modify my order....

1 serving Clearshot
1 Serving Xtend

Post Work out:
50 grams whey
30 grams oat starch
1/4 cup peanut butter

Dinner:
1 Turkey Drumstick baked
1 low Josephs oat bran flax low carb pita
2tbsp Famous Dave's Devil's Spit BBQ sauce 10 grams total carbs
150 Grams green beans with olive oil and tomato sauce


Snack:
1 cup Fiber One
1 cup milk
1/2 cup peanut butter

Work Out:

Back and Bi's

Chins: Body Weight
15x1
12x3
10x3
8x3
6x3
5x1
3x1


Nautilus Plate loaded unilateral Pull Down:

135 per side x 12x 3

160 per side x 12 x 3

185 per side x 8 x 2

135 per side x 12 x 1

90 x 10 x 3
100 x 6 x 3
90 x 10 x 1

Cable concentration curls:

Abs and Done!

Observations: The above workout was foolish considering my weird tricep injury. It didn't hurt at first....if fact I go thru my whole back workout without any pain to speak of. When I was doing the cable curls I should not have done so many. It started to hurt but I had such a pump going that I did not want to stop. About midway through that exercise it started to hurt. I proceeded anyway and added weight. It hurts but still not as badly as initially. I'm leaning out again fast. I am eating a little above maintenance calories right now I am eating a high fat high protein diet I always forget to put the half and half I put in my coffee in my nutrition section.I go through over a half a gallon of half and half a week if that tells you anything That's an extra 2500 calories a week and I also for get to add in all the peanut butter I eat by the spoon full so add another 1000 cals a week and we should be about right. . Outside my injury I felt strong as a Ox. I hate how my endurance has fallen off on my chins as I was doing well over twenty the first couple of sets a few months ago....I will get it back . It fel soooooo good to push and push hard today, even if I was foolish on the curls. I miss working out like that.

GF will be here in less than 2 weeks now. I haven't seen her pretty self in person(thank God for Skype) since September. I want to be good'n lean when she gets here, since last time I saw her I was the leanest I'd ever been in my life.....don't wanna disapoint:)

Day 64

Ursobolic
Took 3 caps 3 times over the course of the day

Nutrition:

Breakfast: CHEAT AND HOW

Invalid Link Removed

3 eggs

2 monster pancakes(dinner plate size)

2 Cat Head biscuits (wrapped in the paper in the photo, no they are not made of cat in the South we call a big biscuit a cat head biscuit as they are the size of a cats noggin)

4 strips of bacon

gravy

Fried apples

Oh God Did I need a nap after that!!!


Mid Morning:

50 Grams Whey Protein
43 grams almonds


Afternoon:
50 grams whey protein
43 grams of peanuts

Dinner:Cheat

500 grams of Brunswick stew( meat rich stew so thick you its hard to call it stew
750 grams of rice (carb load)
300 grams of rice pudding

Snack:
1/2 cup peanut butter
1 cup fiber one
30 grams of chocolate

Observations: Workout day off, leg day tomorrow, should really be able to go hard as my glycogen stores should be fully stocked. Its nice to really be able to gorge on cheat day and not worry so much about the damage. Ursobolic really seams to shine In that regard, the suggish feeling is very short lived, and the damage to waist line is minimal. Also I recently noticed I am not having nearly so many depressed days as I usually do when the light starts getting low. I feel pretty upbeat and my mood is good despite my injured state which usually makes me really depressed. Now...not so much.... haven't heard about Ursolic acid elevating mood, anyone else out there have a similar experience?
 
Hey truth , stupid question.. Hoping u can just help me quick..

Difference between Aminos like recover pro and straight whey.. Like in the bodies response..

Aminos are immediately absorbed not digestion needed protein but be broken down into its subsequent amino acids. BCAA's are not a whole protein, they are supposed to activate certain metabolic pathways, I use them like I use vitamins as a hedge and to insure that my muscles aren't being broken down during a workout

This was a heavy leg day.

Observations:

315 felt the best and easiest it ever had, the first set of 8 seemed easy, the subsequent sets not so much. I was unable to get my 20 reps of 225 that I like to finish with but my legs were fried from the extra 2 sets of 315. I was tired and almost didn't go to the gym and wound up having a great leg work out....go figure. I have 6 days to lean out you will see calories drop to maintenance levels
 
My god.... those squats... CRAZY!

How many sets in total? 2 warm ups, and 10 sets in the 225+ range for like 12-20 reps? Goddamn!!

Good work, 6 days eh? Maintenance levels...haha. Well think of it as 6 day carb cycling lol.

thanks the calorie load fueled that workout for sure. Carb cycling? Yep that's how I look at it, normally I'd be all excited about the feasting we usually do, but we are both a little banged up. She has strained her bicep and is running at half speed, that funky injury is definitely slowing me down. Right now we both just hope we are gym capable when she gets here, as working out together is one of the things we look forward to, and the passion we both share in that regard is part of what makes our relationship so remarkable

Thats a very good relationship dynamic there. I have gotten my wife a little more interested in working out and being healthy. She definitely is more interested as now it's not "I don't care", to "Why do you do this? What can I eat/do?"

And she has been experimenting with cooking foods that are more "Physique Friendly" haha.
 
Insane workouts in here :D Glad to see everything is going well bruther :thumbsup:
I dropped down to 9 caps per day about a week ago. Not feeling the same effects but hopefully it will prove itself in the long run since I got 6 weeks left :)

My gf if probably more into working out than I am. And definitely more concerned about her eating. I have been been with girls that did not understand it and one that forbade me to work out. Definitely better when both people are on the same page. Its nice to have a gf that works out its killer to have one that works out hard. I respect that.

You found a good one!

Yea my wife was always down with me lifting though. When we were dating i'd always just bring her out to the gym with me.

Now though, she is more concerned because she wants to look good and be healthy.

My legs usually grow like weeds when I focus my energy on them ;)
I'm thinking of bumping the dose back up to 18caps per day. I really liked it at that dose :)

The big day is 11th of February 2012 :D

Food For Thought

Just throwing this out there, I've had excellent results with Ursobolic to this point as have others, but there have been a few reported non responders. I have always done a fair amount of volume on squats about the same time as starting urso, I really increased my squat volume, actually volume overall. I know I have seen studies that state that High volume squats trigger a huge hgh release and subsequently raise IGF levels. Since Ursobolic acts through IGF expression I think it would it be reasonable to extrapolate that these high volume workouts would increase the effectiveness and results of Ursobolic? And perhaps some that are not responding as well are not working out in such a way as to get the HGH pulse that high volume squats produces? Just thinking out loud. Just curious if Concrete is a fan of the high volume, trying to find a common denominator

Very interesting take. I know in my thread he suggested 12-20 reps on cycle then to drop them down to 8-10 in PCT so he MIGHT use higher rep ranges during his time off. It is very interesting about this. I have a friend on UA, and he also does high rep squats. He ran UA with slim FX so he noticed an enhanced appetite suppression and a leaning out effect. This month he is dropping the SlimFX so we will see how UA works solo. Said he really feels less bloated though with UA.
