Starting OSTAR1NE cycle

Day 21
20mg Ostarine
25 Nov 2014

This is the first day I have done deadlifts in about a month and a half. It destroyed my lower back so I wasn't able to do my usual back workout with T-Bar rows and bent rows. The workout actually turned out great even though I really wanted to do T-bars and bent rows.

Deadlifts 225x10 275x8 274x7 after this my lower back just locked up
Weighted Pullups 45x10 45x10 45x10-0xburnout
T-bar machine with chest support 100x10 100x10 100x10
Lat pulldown 110x10 110x10 110x10
Low Cable 180x12 200x10 180x12
 
Day 23
20mg Ostarine
27 Nov 2014

Lower back still not 100% but just pushed through
Legs+Shoulders

Squats 135x30 225x8 225x10-4-4-2 15 second rests between sets 135x8pause squats
Light Leg Press 290x10pause 290x15 290x10 high foot placement/10 low
Calf Raises burnout burnout burnout
Dbell Military 70x12 80x12 80x10
Side Raises 35x10 30x10 30x10
Front Raises 15x20 25x12 30x10

I think my lower back actually felt worse than to begin with. Foam rolled it after the workout and it actually helped a little. Legs did feel like they had a great workout despite the lower weight. Looking to switch to higher reps on legs. Seems everything I have been reading has been saying high reps for hypertrophy for legs. Open to any opinions/advice on this as well.

Still not liking the fact that I have to wonder if the Ostar1ne is working. Everything I have taken in the past I always know exactly what it is doing to my body but I do understand that this is not like anything I have taken before. Everything I do feel from the Ostarine is a "maybe its the Ostarine" feeling. I feel like I am slightly more vascular, weight is hovering around 185 as oppose to 180 when I started, strength is going up on a few different lifts. It is the middle of week three and I still have 3-5 more weeks so I am still hopeful that it is just too early to tell.

Another option I am thinking about is upping to 25mg for weeks 5-7 and bringing it back down for week 8. On the other hand I don't want to run it too long or too high and risk unnecessary side effects with no extra gains. This would be if I decided to go 8 weeks instead of 6. For now I will just be patient and wait it out.

Day 27
20mg Ostarine
1 December 2014

Arms
Trying a new workout today, full of supersets and drop sets.

Barbell Curls 105x12 105x10 115x8 115x6
Dropset 105x10-95x7-75x7-45x10

Superset
Skull Crushers 85x12 95x12 105x8 115x6
Close Grip Bench 185x11 185x7 185x8 205x6
Superset
Seated Hammer Curls 40x12 45x8 45x8 45x7
Concentration Curls 30x10 30x7 30x8 30x6
Superset
Tricep Rope 60x12 60x12 75x10
Straight Bar Reverse Grip Pulldown 40lbsx30 40x30 40x20
Preacher Dbell 35x12 40x10 50x8 55x6
Dips 45x12 65x10 100x12

There is a little bit more to this workout if anyone is interested in it. It was a great workout but I workout with 4 other dudes so it took us over 2 hours just to do this. We skipped over 21's, more dips, and overhead tricep extensions, all placed differently throughout the workout . Great pump from this workout which usually isn't my main goal but I really liked the high volume today. Felt like my arms were going to explode if I forced any more blood into them, almost painful at times.

Finishing up a 8 week run on Ostar1ne and love it!

What was your mg and pct?

I will be in a country without Internet for a few weeks. Going to write everything down and post it on here when I get back to where I'm stationed. There will be a gym where I am going so not much should change. Diet will probably end up being a little different. This is probably going to be the deciding factor for the 8 weeks instead of 6.
 
Overall it helped strength gains. Size didn't change much. It helped retain muscle a bit and seemed to increase strength. No crazy results but overall a success and I would recommend it.
