All,

I've been on UA for 48 days now - I've been to the doctor twice during that time, the last visit yesterday. Never have I had high BP, but both of the last visits to the doctor and my BP has been high - yesterday was very high. Anyone else noticed elevated BP while on UA? I'm taking 6x3.

Best,

DevotedDad

Yea, not to pry but what else could u possibly be taking to increase it?? Urso has helped normalize my bp after it rose slightly due to stress and a certain ai I took... The ai is done, the stress is not lol

I was thinking that but didn't want to ask that. Any ph use is apt to send bp through the roof. Also increased stimulant use etc definitely not accusing nor prying just throwing it out there
 
Hey truth. Way off topic but have you seen the new c20 product.. It seems to promise similar effects as urso.. I'm trying to figure out what the hell it is exactly, it's by usp
 
I'm thinking it's highly concentrated chocolate and ursobolic.
The study they mentioned about t- something is the same used for data on the ursobolic.
But usplabs doesn't need research... They just need a good beta test ...

Well I agree n disagree.. Inner circle and initial release shipments of pink magic were insanely effective.. Used it about a year later n felt nothing! I think the best thong to do is use new release of usp bc it's actualy manufactured o be effective.. Then on e u see it work u buy again, to no avail!. Still really interested in logs/info
 
Day 49

Day 49

Took 3 caps 3 times over the course of the day

Nutrition:

Breakfast:

4 whole eggs
8 oz V-8 juice

Mid Morning:

50 Grams Whey Protein
30 grams of walnuts

Afternoon:
50 grams of Whey Protein
30 grams almonds


Dinner:

200 grams 97% lean ground beef
1 cup broccoli

Pre Bed:

1 cup Fibre one and 1 cup 2% milk


Work out:

Day Off

Observations:

My legs are fried from yesterday's workout. I didn't realize how much volume I did until you guys made mention of it. My legs and glutes are killing me especially the glutes. I feel like I have a knife stuck in each cheek lol. The lunges are a recent addition and the are frying my outer quads and my glutes.

I am trying to get more sleep, I have to be up at 5:30am. Its 11:15 here now. I do not think my injury is going to heal with me getting the 5 hours of sleep that I've been getting. I can already see the fat I acquired melting away over the last two days. I can already see the muddiness clearing up. Makes the Truth happy. I have extra impetus to get lean. My gf is coming to visit middle of next month. Haven't seen her since the first of September, and I was totally shredded then, need to be totally shredded when she gets here. Backing my calories down to around maintenance and lets see how Ursobolic can cut! Tomorrow Back and bi's going to give the injured side a little test, just a little test.

Haha your volume day made me recaclulate my workload lol. Thinking I should do more haha.

Sleep is important for insulin sensitivity and leptin sensitivity. Get that sleep!

Good to know though that you are leaning out quick. Shows how fast dedication can shine through. I think urso probably made it easier though.. I just have a feeling. Ursobolic acid and chocolate protein powder maybe the key to 20 ;)

Could be .....could be .
 
Truth, have u ever posted your full routine? Just curious.. Im finally realize that less is more in terms of volume n training frequency.. I'm realizing enough recover n time between body parts Is imperative for growth. Problem is I feel the need to run before I lift or else I just can't get warm or move! I also don't like going to the gym on weekends unless I absolutely have to bc o work late fri n sat nights so I like my weekends to sleep in..

I just moved away from full body's (no legs) 3x a week plus a leg day .. M, w, th, f

Cardio was done all days. Now I am lean bulking working on building a nice v taper focusing on shoulders n back as well as adding size to my bi's..

Training is:

Mon-Cardio Back thickness, chest, tris, abs

Tuesday- just bis no cardio. Hittin hard in and out**

Wed- cardio shoulders abs

Thurs- cardio, legs, chest, tris abs

Fri- cardio back width, shoulders, bis

Sat abs before work real quick

Cardio is hiit for 25-30
except thurs, which is low intensity for 45

I still feel like it could be broken down less and be more effective.. Just not sure how, curious about your training split!

I use pof myself I've had to limit it though due to injuries. Just got home and doing chores Have to run a few errands,Walmart and what not and then I'll post tonight's work out and try to post my routine. I train on the instinctive side so it'll be hard to be exact but I can give you a good Idea.

I only swam in the shallows but there were no issues, I have only slight twinge back there and nothing I did made it any worse. I did not do chins, I love chins, Maybe next time. I didn't get a great back work out but I was alble to work both sides. Its been over 2 weeks so I'll be happy with that. Bi's? I blew bi's UP! More later gotta take care of some house keeping items.

Nice. I'll be waiting lol.. Going to the midnight showing of twilight with the woman haha so please give me something to read and ponder!!
 
Hey Fellas, I haven't forgotten about you I was busy defending my honor and having a little fun at someone else's expense and thanks Matt for jumping in, that was good of you. How the F**k could that dude not see the Gigantic red E-PHARM REP signature is beyond me. If you look through thread you'll see that we have had several exchanges. I even pm'd that MF'er after Pat's last bashing of him to try and give him advice to get the most out of the product. Ingrate....anyhoo...that put me behind, working on my log entry now and will post my workout after...I'll warn you its pretty simple. I like basic multi joint exercises but there is method to my madness and I'll explain it to you. just give me a bit

Day 50


Ursobolic 3 x 3

Breakfast:

4 Whole eggs scrambled
8 ozV-8


Mid Morning:

50 Grams Whey Protein
43 grams peanuts


Afternoon:
50 grams whey protein
43 grams peanuts

Intra Work out
1 Serving Xtend

Post Work out:
50 grams whey

Dinner:
200 grams 97% lean ground beef
1 cup broccoli


Snack:
1/2 cup Natty Peanut Butter(over did it but hey its leg day
30 grams Dark Chocolate

Pre Bed:
1 cup fiber one and 1 cup whole milk

Back and Bi's:Testing out my shoulder used FreeMotion Unilateral Cable pull down machine, I worked up to 120 for 5 sets of 15, no issues

Then I moved to the seated pull down machine and got four sets starting at 120 and working up to 150. Next was the Nautilus plate loaded pull down machine loaded 2 45's on both sides and got a set of 20 added a quarter and got 15 stayed there that was slightly uncomfortable on the bad shoulder so was smart and stayed there.

T bar rows went to 3 45's again was only minorly uncomfortable so just stuck with that weight for 4 sets of 10-12

Dumbell rows, went to 90 on both sides 4 sets of eight could have done more but again didn't want to push it just getting back into it

Biceps:
Biceps: Still annot do free weight curls as that is what aggravates my injury the most so started with the seated plate loaded preacher machine. 2 45's and a 10 3 sets of twelve. 2 45's and 2 10's 3 sets of 8, then back down to 2 45's only for 3 sets of 10Did the Atlantis seated curl machine for 5 sets of 10 with 80 on the stack and the seated Freemotion curl machine for 5 sets of 10 at 90lbs on the stack. biceps were pumped up, Then I tried the Hoist bicep curl machine, when I first injured my shoulder I could not do this exercise, I took it to 70 on the stack and I was able to do it with no discomfort, tried 80 and it hurt the shoulder so I backed it off. My bi's were so tight I could barely move my arms, that's what I like :)

Observations: Good first workout, makes me think my injury was not as bad as I had feared. Still going to take it easy don't want to re injure it. Was really strong on bi's and am starting to lean back out. Hope the trend continues I look big and my pump seems to have stuck as I still feel and look pumped from hours earlier and this with very little carb intake the last few days. Ordered two more bottle and just for the records out of my own pocket. I truly do like this stuff and intend to run it until there is a reason not to.
 
Killer workout man!! 4 sets of 90lbs of "testing the waters" is pretty damn beast bro! NICE!!

Looks like a very good, basic workout. that's what I like to follow.

Good on the Ursobolic acid and ordering more. If I could swing it I'd be on it year round ;) Cheap though I must say.
 
Truth's Split Routine Part Science Part Instinct

2 Day on 2 Day off Split

Day 1

Back and Bi's (my pre injury work out)

Chins: I like to start when I am fresh, never warmed up before but from here on in will do two sets light pull downs prior.

I have no set rep and set regimen for chins...I like to do them, I was doing 26 the first set before my shoulder got hurt not sure what I could crank out now, I will do set after set until I can only do 5 that is my signal to quit. I am rethinking that currently as I feel I am over training. I just do them until I have a good lat pump. That's the instinct part. Cheda, this counts as both a stretch and midrange movement in the POF method.

Then I move to the Nautilus Unilateral pull down machine, this counts as a stretch and a contracted movement it allows an excellent stretch at the top and a full contraction at the bottom. If I did not have access to this machine I'd do 1 handed cable pulldowns
I am already warm so I do one light set to get the feel of the movement and then I move up to my working weight for 5 sets of 6-10

Next I usually do T bar Rows, I do two warm up sets, again to get the feel of the exercise with 2 45's, I add a third and try for 12, then add a fourth and try to get five of 6-8. Prior to my injury I was doing 5 plates, I am almost certain that is how the injury occurred, once I am healed I will cease at four and just try to get more reps before I add more weight. This counts as a stretch as I let it hang at the bottom, and a mid range movement.

Next I do low rows, Our machine has two separate handles. This allows for a good contraction, I also let it stretch at the bottom so it is both a stretch and contracted movement. I do 5 working sets of 10 - 12

I do hyper extensions until my lower back is fried and that it that.

Biceps:

Ez Curl 5 sets of a weight that I can handle for 6-8 reps, for me that is 45's and a fiver, a tenner on a good day. It sucks that I cannot do free weight curls right now. It is my favorite exercise of all. This is a mid range exercise

Next Preacher curls, 5 sets of 8-10 again, a mid range exercise.

The the Hoist bicep machine, this is a close approximation of a concentration curl and counts as a fully contracted movement. I used to do incline dumb bell curls for my stretch movement but after I tore my bicep tenon completely off the bone, I am hesitant to put it at that kind of a stretch.

Day Two:

Chest Shoulders and Triceps:

Dumb Bell Flat Bench:

I warm up with a weight that I can get 15-20 reps. I move up in ten pound increments until I reach my target weight and try for 5 sets of 6-8 with my target weight depending on how I feel, sometimes if I'm feeling strong I move up to a weight I can only get 4-5 but never two chest work outs in a row. This is a mid range exercise though I used to stretch at the bottom too. Shoulder issues now prevent that.

Incline Machine press, I do these slow and squeeze at the top to really work my inner pecs 5 sets of 10 to 12 is what I shoot for not always what I do sometimes I do more which is too much but hey sometimes you just feel it. This is a mid range movement.

Cable flies next, I do these with the pulleys set slightly low so I can work both upper and lower pecs by changing hand position. I stretch at the bottom and cross at the top so this counts as both a stretch and a contracted movement. That's all for chest

Shoulders:

Overhead Dumb bell presses, warm up with a weight I can get 10 - 12, then I move up to a weight I can get 6-8 and do 4 sets.
Cable side laterals: I choose a weight that I can get 12 reps with per side and do around five sets. That's all for shoulders. Shoulders get a lot of work from chest so I try not to over work them especially since mine have been injured a time or two both of these are mid range movements the side laterals the way I do them are also a contracted movement

Triceps: Used to do heavy nose breakers, shoulders are wrecked cannot do those any more.

Machine dips, I start at 210,for 15 reps, my approximate weight, then strap myself down and take it to 300 for 5 sets of 8, this is a mid range and a contracted movement as I squeeze at the bottom.Then I use a machine that simulates nose breakers and allows me to get a good stretch on my tri's and do 4 sets of a weight that I can get 8-10 reps this is my stretch motion. I finish with push downs, I start with 70 and take it down to the stack which is 100lbs and try for eight to ten. Depending on how my elbows feel sometims I'll stack as many as 4 auxiliary plates on the stack and try for sets of eight, every other week I do drop sets. This is a mid range and a contracted movement and that's all of that.

Day Three: Off

Day Four: Legs:

Squats: Love'em, Hate' em gotta do'em

135 to warm up. 185 to further warm up, 225 x 20 x 3 , 275 x 15 x 2 and 315 x 8 x 2. I then usually drop back down to 275 for as many as I can do and the and 225 for as many as I can do. On all the sets except for the 315 I do ass to grass, this makes for a stretch movement as well as a mid range. Next I do either lunges or leg presses, usually alternating one on one work out then the other the next. Sometimes a piece of equipment being in use determines which one I do. occasionally I'll substitute hacks but our hack machine sucks and hurts my back. the lunges are a stretch motion and the leg press is a mid range though I take the sled to my ass so it does stretch me some. I shot for 5 sets of 15 on the lunges, on the leg press I take it up to 14 plated for sets of eight and then take it back down.to 4 plates for as many as I can do

Next is leg extensions, I shoot for 4 to five sets of 8-12 and work up to 200 lbs this is a contracted movement

Standing leg curls- 4-5 sets at 90 -100 lbs at around 12 reps

Calf raises standing and seated 4-5 sets of as many as I can do and that's all for legs.

Abs you already know How I do abs.

I follow a modified Positions of flexion workout, I cannot do stretch on bi's but try to incorporate a mid, contracted and stretch exercise in all my routines to activate maximum muscle fibers. Any questions I'm glad to answer be easy on me I was basically asleep typing this lol
 
that is a great program :D

I consider it very basic but done right. Plus I love higher set lower reps. (Though you operate in my mod/high rep ranges 6-8 i consider mod to high reps, anything over 15 on legs I consider cardio or active recovery UNLESS it's the last leg of my drop set. I've been known to do drop sets in the 40s of the last weight... Anyone ever pass out doing bench? lol I did.)

Thanks for posting! Do you try to increase weight/reps ever?

Nice. So u go day 1, day 2, off, legs, day 1, day2 off etc? Or what frequency do u do it
Click to expand...
Not exactly its a 2 day split, I guess I shouldn't have listed it as day one two etc I work out 2 days and take a day off then work out another two days and one off, the workouts just fall how they fall. I cold do back and bis then chest and tris day off, the n legs, back and bi's day off does that make sense? Sometimes pre summer I'll go three on 1 off, but never more than a couple of months. There are a lot of subtleties I did not put in there like hand position and how changing it a little can make a world of difference, but only on muscles with multiple heads and insertions. For example on he preachers I alternate hand position with each set, when you go wide it really targets the inner head which doesn't get as much work normally. just as an example

Work Out:

Felt really good today. Good Positive mood feeling really strong. Shoulder feels great probably pushed a little harder than I should have. The danger of feeling better after you are injured

Chest:
FreMotion chest press, See Above, It allows for great contraction as you have free range of motion and you can bring your hands together at the top.
Did my work up sets and then progressed to working sets, the following numbers are per side. 80 x 20, 90 x 15, 100x15 x 3 120x12 x 140 x 8 x 2 Really pushed hard pecs were pumped

Plate loaded incline bench press machine took momentum into this exercise 2 wheels and a quarter per side 4 sets x 12 jumped up to three wheels per side shoulder started grumbling a little but chest pump was righteous!! Kept pushing and got three sets of 8 Yeah!!

I did cable flies 5 x a challenging weight Chest was totally swole up!

Shoulders:
Did DB overhead presses but light as still testing this injury out worked up to 55 pounders for 12. Could have definitely got the 60's or more but have gotten smarter stopped there

Did hammer strength shoulder press 2 sets of 80 2 sets of 90 2 sets of 100 went up to 120 per side 3 sets x 8

Machine side laterals: 3 x 85 x12
Stopped it there felt good no twinges or anything the Truth is on the mend

Triceps:
Nose breaker simulator- was feeling good stayed with the 10 lbs increase from last time and got 8 reps x3 dropped back down and got 3 more sets for twelve.

Moved to seated dip machine took it to 270 for 5x10, my shoulder and elbow are A OK. Then on to cable pushdowns, went to the bottom of the stack for eight x 4, then added 10 lbs as my elbows are feeling so much better and got did drop sets down to 70 triceps pumped, and swollen. My arms looked like hams hanging off my shoulders

I worked my abs really hard and slow they are sore as well and left the gym sore and happy

Observations:
Was able to push hard today for the first time in a while. I am going to add dumb bell bench in nest time. I may be able to start making gains again. God please let it really be healed. I need to go all out it is my only stress relief. I am already undoing the damage I did on my week of unrestrained eating, Ursobolic rocks!
 
Hey truth, how often do u suggest switching routines/exercises.. I currently try to
Change things every 4-6 weeks.. I just started an awesome routine focusing on shoulders and back width.. I don't think I'll want to stop it after 4 weeks!! Lol

I am like Arnold in that I seldom change my routine. I might alter in a minor fashion add and exercise here switch the order in which I perform them. I probably need to change it up more. I read that you should stay on a given program 4 weeks at least to give your body time to adapt to the stimulus before you change it up. The people that believe muscle confusion means doing something different every work out never give their muscles a chance to adapt before they change the stimulus.

I look at it this way, if its working why change it?

Observations: Still feeling good, still feel myself leaning back out. Strange hows the body works first place fat lands is the last place it leaves. For me its love handles and a little pooch in the very front of my abs. I have to be in the single digits before the love handles depart. Have cleaned up the diet a good bit. Will do so until Thanksgiving where I will partake in the mother of all refeed. Desert table here I come. After that cleand diet until my gf arrive and then a week long food fest, but we will be working out. So hopefully I can convert those calories into lean mass.

Did the above at a blistering pace, quads were swollen like they have not been in recent memory.

Observations:

Leaning back out, am down to 206 from the 208 I'd gained up to while my daughter was here. Injury to my shoulder is now just a twinge. Back tomorrow, Dare I do chins? My elbows go from hurting to not hurting, but a little Jointforce and I think that they will be good. Chins, my FAVORITE!!! God I hope I can do 'em and real curls tho' I think it would be wise to wait one more week on that as that is the exercise that hurt the worst. You guys are quiet the last couple of days every one must be having a kicking weekend. At least it's a short work week coming up
 
A little humor to kick off your week....

Getting back to leansville. I just cant seem to lean out fast enough. The cold isn't helping me either lol.

I'm freaking freezing!!

Vids I posted I put on a friends log here I'll link it when I'm not so cold sitting under my kotatsu. The computer is far.
 
Loving that leg workout, man. So intense looking. I want to try something similar when I switch from Full Body training to splits over my winter break.

Work Out:

Back and bi's

I went into this workout with great hope. There had been no rotator pain and not tricep pain for a couple of days. I was hopeful that my injury had healed. I looked forward to chins and curls.....

Chins: Started with assisted chins with 35 pounds of assistance. 3 sets of 15 with no pain so I thought I'd try some real chins

3 x 12, 3 x 10 and 3x8 My endurance has definitely dropped but I stopped so as to be cautious not because I had to.

no arm or back pain at this point....Truth is a happy camper

Nautilus Unilateral Pull Downs: Kept the weight light again being cautious stopped at three plates on a side and got 3x12 with this weight, every thing still ok. Decide to forgo T=bar rows as I am pretty sure that is how the injury occurred. Instead used this contraption that mimics the motion loaded on two 45's, a weight that I've done easily on it before got 2 sets and was really trying to get a good squeeze and felt something tweak in my tricep(wtf??? how does a pulling movement affect my tricep???) Any way it was down hill from there was able to do some moderate free weight curls, 35 on each side of the curl bar, but at the top of every curl the pain was bad.

Plate loaded preacher machine 2 45's and a 10 3 sets of twelve. 2 45's and 2 10's 3 sets of 8, then back down to 2 45's only for 3 sets of 10Did the Atlantis seated curl machine for 5 sets of 10 with 80 on the stack and the seated Freemotion curl machine for 5 sets of 10 at 90lbs on the stack. biceps were pumped up my attitude was not. Did abs and left head down.


Observations: major one, Injuries suck ass!! I thought I was all healed, I was pain free and now it feels almost as bad as before. Imageing string of profanities because that is what I am thinking right now :rant2:Yeah I am not all that happy. I am hoping that it is not quite as bad as before. Dammit!!! oh well tomorrow is my day off, hopefully I'll heal up soon, I can't take this much more
 
Looks like Ursobolic is good for the brain too

[h=3]Abstract[/h]Ursolic acid (UA), a pentracyclic triterpene, is reported to have an antioxidant activity. Here we assessed the protective effect of UA against the d-galactose (d-gal)-induced neurotoxicity. We found that UA markedly reversed the d-gal induced learning and memory impairment by behavioral tests. The following antioxidant defense enzymes were measured: superoxide dismutases (SOD), catalase (CAT), glutathione peroxidase (GPx) and glutathione reductase (GR). The content of the lipid peroxidation product malondialdehyde (MDA) was also analyzed. Our results indicated that the neuroprotective effect of UA against d-gal induced neurotoxicity might be caused, at least in part, by the increase in the activity of antioxidant enzymes with a reduction in lipid peroxidation. And UA also inhibited the activation of caspase-3 induced by d-gal. Furthermore, we found that UA significantly increased the level of growth-associated protein GAP43 in the brain of d-gal-treated mice. These results suggest that the pharmacological action of UA may offer a novel therapeutic strategy for the treatment of age-related conditions.

Observations:

Weighed and down to 205, 1 pound over where I was when my daughter came up to visit. I do not feel too bad about that. I am doing moderate low carbs until Turkey day and then "It on Like a Pot of Grits" lol Or Donkey Kong if you prefer, here in the South its grits. I am alresy dreaming about sweet potato, pecan and pumpkin pie. Oh Yeah!!! Not working out either, gonna load those muscles full of glycogen. Legs on Friday, I'll be fully charged and ready. For those that don't check in tomorrow and Thursday, I'll got ahead and wish you a Happy Thanksgiving now. Don't eat too much....F' that eat all you want you've earned it, especially you Cheda' pig out and no regrets nor worries, you're lean as hell. Mattrag, you too my man pig out. Truth's log will be open for the Holidays and I'll be checking in as usual as my Peeps live 30 miles from here..

Regarding Ursobolic I am very pleased at how I am maintaining my muscle despite limited workouts due to injury. I haven't lost much and its bee three weeks since I could work out full tilt. I ordered another months worth so the log will continue a bit longer. I am going to really try to lean out between Thanksgiving and 12/13 when my gf is coming for a week long visit. Wanna look good for my chica, since her conditioning blows mine away, I'd post her double back bi pose but she'd hurt some of your feelings lol
 
Woo turkey day 1 day away.. Will be training shoulders n back thurs and chest/arms fri .. My back better grow like a turtle shell :) then Its recomp til the cruise! Urso will be there every step of the way.

Decided to stick to my morals n principles n not drink tomorrow night (thanksgiving eve) Gonna go out w all my friends n gf for the first time in a while (I hate bars now) n hopefully some drunkard doesnt piss me off (my temper has been non existent lately) lol I even cursed out a chef at work for putting eggs on the same plate as pancakes. No one wants that sht on the same plate! Then I'll get up nice n early n hit the gym on Turk day.

I drink very little lately. I've had a grand total of four beers in the last 4 months and all of them the week my daughter was here. Lately I like my head clear.....that being said my tolerance for drunks is zero, when you are not drinking people that are make you angry....the world should switch to Kava, no calories not hangover and just nice warm fuzzies for everybody....if only it didn't taste like spicy dirt. Oh and I usually take my pancakes, put my over easy egg between the along with my sausage and or bacon, smother the whole thing with copious amounts of syrup and MMMM! I like that Sh!t lol

You are doing great... don't kid yourself. Thanks for the compliment, as a former fat guy I never thought I'd be anyone's inspiration, at least not in a positve way....maybe in a like "hey I never wanna look like that guy" kind of way. I am looking forward to your pics. Enjoy your feasting . :thumbsup:

Lol well fine! But it was actually banana choc Chip pancakes! Not good with eggs!

Kava???

yeah banana chocolate chip would be a no go with the eggs, I'll bet matt knows what Kava is. Its the official intoxicating beverage of the Polynesian Islands, I get the good stuff from New Guinea and Hawaii. Tangan is good too.
