Olympus Labs Str3ngth Unleashed 1 week update

Strength Gains

Week 1 on Str3ngth Unleashed and hit a PR on day 3. Hit 100’s x 12 on DB Incline Bench and had one in the tank too. I had no spot so no help with a bump or grinding out another rep if need be. Feel very good on this so far. I have to note I found in my back workouts (2x a week) it was easier to hold each movement and squeeze the muscle. I felt a greater mind muscle connection during the first week really trying to push myself. Workouts were kept brief as usual (45-60 minutes). Leg day may hit around 75 minutes since I am only training them 1x a week in this meso cycle.
Dosing

2 Caps per day (1 cap Upon Waking 1 Cap 6-8 Hours Later)

Fuller Muscles

Hard to say. I am pretty over weight for competing at 154. Sitting around 180 right now its hard to gauge fullness. This may be easily noticed in a dieting phase. Point being if you get flat real easy when dieting, the fullness could be seen in the mirror and during training. I stay vascular in my arms, back, and legs year round, so this has not changed.

Cortisol, Glucose, and Thyroid Control

No real report on any of these. The only way to control Cortisol and Thyroid would be getting bloodwork done. I am schedule in March for more bloodwork but this log will be way over by then. No real change in glucose control my diet is pretty similar every week. I just rotate food sources to help hit calories, and enjoy some moderation and ice cream.

Joint Repair

I have to say this is shining through at the given moment. I do have a little flare up in my left elbow from time to time. Maybe from heavy pressing or maybe from heavy squatting it is hard to dictate. I have noticed less pain on the first week while on Str3ngth Unleashed. Time will tell if it continues to get better, or its placebo. I will keep everyone in the loop regarding this.

​
 
Not like I'm trying to implant ideas into your head, but the cortisol control involved could also help with sleep. I've slept better on cortisol controlling products, and in the past, I happened to sleep better on MPS (ecdysterone product, similar to laxogenin) and I feel like I'm getting deeper sleep on an ecdy/laxo combo product I'm using right now. This may be something you should keep track of (or not, I don't know, haha)

considering this
my sleep sucked this week, so that is definitely not happening hahah
 
Wow, you cut from 180 to 154 for comp? What BF% are you at when competing at that weight vs an estimate of what you're at now? Wondering what I would need to drop to if I ever got the nerve up to step on stage. I sit at ~155 and slightly under 15%.

Yes Sir, it took me about 25 weeks. First contest I wanted to give myself enough time. in the end i started too big, and it caused me to really thin out the last few weeks (lesson learned). Contest prep for Nationals was much less harsh. I started around 170 and cut to 154. Less aggressive calorie cuts, and was able to stay fuller throughout prep.

Hell for my first show when i had to drop the extra 10 pounds. I was eating 1700 kcals on Thursday/Friday to carb load before the show and I lost 2 pounds. I was just that damn depleted. Ate about 1,000g on the day of the show too and still was not filled out. Peak weak for nationals was about half of that, but on the day of the show similar and still was a bit flat.

My avatar = my show date for nationals, so you can use that as an estimate. I don't go by BF, its too hard to judge everyone stores fat in different areas it means nothing in bodybuilding. its about how you look on a stage, not if you are 5.5 or 5.6%. Its how you show the illusion and pose on a stage.

If you are 155 and around 15% you would compete as a bantam weight.

Olympus Labs Str3ngth Unleashed 2 week update

Strength Gains

Week 2 on Str3ngth Unleashed. Hit 3 Plates/Side x 22 Reps on Hammer Strength Chest Press .I had no spot so no help with a liftoff or grinding out another rep if need be. Feel very good on this so far. I am starting to feel a bit more mind muscle connection as the workouts go on. My back has been fried after using slower eccentrics and holds on most of my movements. The weight on some of my accessory movements is staying the same, but the muscle actually working or feeling the exercise has increased. I took it a bit easier towards the end of the week. I had a small injury flare up that I wanted to not make worse.

Dosing

2 Caps per day (1 cap Upon Waking 1 Cap 6-8 Hours Later)

Fuller Muscles

Weight is up to 182-183. Heaviest I have been in nearly 7-8 years. While its hard to gauge muscle fullness at some of the heaviest I have been in a while, I am still holding some good vascularity. My legs/back/arms stay damn lean year round, midsection is just soft where I store all my fat.

Cortisol, Glucose, and Thyroid Control

No real report on any of these. The only way to control Cortisol and Thyroid would be getting bloodwork done. I am schedule in March for more bloodwork but this log will be way over by then. No real change in glucose control my diet is pretty similar every week. I just rotate food sources to help hit calories, and enjoy some moderation and ice cream.

Joint Repair

Week 2 was similar to week 1. I do have a little flare up in my left elbow from time to time. Maybe from heavy pressing or maybe from heavy squatting it is hard to dictate. I have noticed less pain on the second week while on Str3ngth Unleashed. Time will tell if it continues to get better, or its placebo. I will keep everyone in the loop regarding this.

Olympus Labs Str3ngth Unleashed 3 week update

Strength Gains

Week 3 on Str3ngth Unleashed. Hit 3 Plates/Side x 23 Reps on Hammer Strength Chest Press .I had no spot so no help with a liftoff or grinding out another rep if need be. Feel very good on this so far. I am starting to feel a bit more mind muscle connection as the workouts go on. My back has been fried after using slower eccentrics and holds on most of my movements. The weight on some of my accessory movements is staying the same, but the muscle actually working or feeling the exercise has increased. Pushed 315 x 12 on Squat another PR as well for me at around 180 pounds. Very pleased with strength.

Dosing

2 Caps per day (1 cap Upon Waking 1 Cap 6-8 Hours Later)

Fuller Muscles

Weight is up to 182-183. Heaviest I have been in nearly 7-8 years. While it is hard to gauge muscle fullness at some of the heaviest I have been in a while, I am still holding some good vascularity. My legs/back/arms stay damn lean year round, midsection is just soft where I store all my fat.

Cortisol, Glucose, and Thyroid Control

No real report on any of these. The only way to control Cortisol and Thyroid would be getting bloodwork done. I am schedule in March for more bloodwork but this log will be way over by then. No real change in glucose control my diet is pretty similar every week. I just rotate food sources to help hit calories, and enjoy some moderation and ice cream.

Joint Repair

Week 3 was similar to week 1/2. I do have a little flare up in my left elbow from time to time. Maybe from heavy pressing or maybe from heavy squatting it is hard to dictate. I have noticed less pain on the thirds week while on Str3ngth Unleashed. My elbow continues to not have any problems and feeling pain slowly fade, so this is a huge positive. But nothing major like a normal joint supplement may compose.
