Naps at work = the most anabolic naps.
 
Awesome work Kat and glad the Osta did you good. I really like it and will run in again later this year!

Yeah but that's usually on work time not lunch time that adds anabolism...

Lol I think my patients might get mad if I sleep on the job!
Let me tell you though, my nap at lunch was amazing! I could've slept through the afternoon!

Thank you so much Chris!! :D
 
Good morning! Today's workout started great but I lost my umph about halfway through. I've been having some tightness in my forearms and running up into my bicep. Using my biceps made it worse so I went lighter and ended up skipping some of my curls. Had a hard time pushing through the rest of the workout but I made it through!

I will go back at lunch for cardio and abs. :) I hope you all have a great day!!
 
Forearm pain begins in the shoulder. Some light stretching and lacrosse smashing On the bicep, anterior delt, brachloradalis and rear delt should help

*edit- unless they're stress fractures then you can't do anything for it besides rest
 
Nice work Kat and hate to hear about the forearm pain. Hope it heals up quickly for you.
 
Thanks guys! I did like you suggested Tyga and used a ball to smash into my bicep! Holy smoke! That hit the spot! I'm gonna keep doing it but it already feels better!

Here's my lunch session...

15 min HIIT on stair climber
10 min bike
5 min fast walk/run

Ok, so I know I said I would do abs but I really felt slack on this mornings session so I did a little pulling instead...plus my abs need a solid 20-30mins of work!

2 sets wide pull ups

Stretchers
100x8x3

Meadow rows
50x8
60x8
70x6
70x6, 60x6, 50x8, 35x10
 
Keep doing what Tyga suggested, and also consider using a false/thumbless grip if it's safe to do so if it let's you get the work in.

Personally I'm inspired by your workouts and dedication! Don't ever stop.

About the Advil use, I'm not saying your dosages are high but take a look at this (summary: ibuprofen inhibits muscle protein synthesis):

Thank you so much Mark!
Thanks for the article! My doses aren't very high luckily. Definitely good info!!!
 
Started an ECA stack today! I will be starting a new log soon- just can't figure out what I want to call it and where I want to place it! Chest and legs are nice and sore from yesterday! Brought up the whole idea of me doing a PL meet towards the end of the year or next year....that didn't quite go as I planned but he just doesn't understand my passion behind it all! I love lifting and think it will be fun do work towards some type of competing. Maybe start with PL and then a BB show........

good choice with the ECA stack!
 
Perfect dose right there!!
 
love2liftkat said:
Hahahaha Good one!! I am taking 1/2 a bronkaid to start so 12.5 ephedrine, 200mg of caffeine, and 81mg aspirin... Twice a day
Click to expand...

This is my typical starting dose also, minus the Advil.
 
love2liftkat said:
Advil?...I take asprin with it.
Click to expand...

As you should :)

The way you wrote that, are you also taking the aspirin twice a day?
It should only be with the first dose, unless your doctor wants you on blood thinners

Hmm good to know...yes I was taking the low dose am/pm with the others. Thanks!

I meant aspirin... I don't take it at all. Still is just as effective without.

Oh ok...yes it is. It just helps keep your body temp down to keep the ephedrine working longer..

There is a LOT if bro science on the ECA stack around the net. So much that i think the majority if ECA users don't understand the stack effects.

"The aspirin is added to prevent blood clotting (which may be a side effect of ephedrine) and to aid in the signal transduction of ephedrine via prostaglandin inhibition."

A good overview, with references:

No problem!

I only jumped in to let you know about the lack of need for extra aspirin doses.

Sadly one of the most commonly fatal and damage causing OTC meds is overuse of ASA/Aspirin

I figure I give my liver enough to deal with and aspirin isn't great for it either. With the bajillion possible side effects of Ephedrine, I feel pretty safe from having blood clots with my meager use.
 
Final review: roughly 11 week Run of Olympus Labs Ostar1ne

I really enjoyed using the Osta and very happy with my results! It definitely helped me in my bulk to gain 11 lbs all while loosing fat. The only negative side I had was headaches in the very beginning which I found lack of water was the culprit. With the increase of body temperature, getting adequate water was even more important!

Dosing started at 15mg and about halfway upped to 20mg. Usually all taken in the am.

Mood was great! From the start it increased libido! I didn't notice it quite as much towards the end but it wasn't a loss.

Definitely felt much warmer throughout the entire run. Found myself sleeping outside the covers with the house in the 60's or not wearing jackets when I normally would.

Slight increase in strength and improved recovery.

Biggest thing I enjoyed was the fact it helped me get leaner while putting on muscle. I will definitely be putting this in my book of favorites and likely be running it again at some point!

Thank you all for you awesome support!!! You really do keep me motivated and pushing!!

Here are some before/afters. I need to remember to do the same poses for better comparison! Lol

Thank you! I'm a gullible chick who jumps feet first into almost everything without doing much research. (Stupid) Oooooh it worked for him, her, and him?! Ok, I'll try it. :/
 
You look amazing, Kat!
 
Pure success .... I have a few bottles stashed away, that after seeing your progress will definitely be using!
