Thread: Crown's OSTA Rx Log.

Nice to see a Osta journal. I'll be on it soon bridging it between my Halo4Her cycle.

Great job so far. Looking strong!

Thanks girl!
I am definitely strong, and getting stronger. Now I just need to get ripped up.

I sometimes wonder if I Under-Train...
Like perhaps I could start doing two-a-days 3x a week or start doing more cardio (well I KNOW i can start doing more cardio). but, am i pushing it enough with the weights? what are your thoughts?

LOL Well, you can do both! I leaned down for shows and can pretty much keep strength pretty decent.

Best of luck to you!

Saturday morning... time to hit some legs!

How did it go?

Well to reply to everyone:

The Osta Rx is treating me very nicely. I am going on my last week of it. My experience thus far:

Osta at 20mg / day has been nothing short of amazing when it comes to maintaining my strength gains. As I said before I expected the weights I lift to continually going down, but instead they are going up. I got the 345lbs on smith shoulder press (a new PR for me) and my bench / dip strength has not degraded. This has been very surprising and I am pretty pumped.

My appetite has definitely been up lately, not sure if this is related to the osta or not. However, I have felt the urge to eat a lot more lately.

I haven't experienced any negative sides, nothing jumps out at me at least.

Sex life has been good, so I don't think 20mg has given me any suppression either

Short chest routine today. Definitly slacked on the food intake on the weekend, might have negatively impacted my lifts a little. After last weeks bench session I was definitly expecting to get back into the 400lbs... However, I feel great and the week after next I will aim a bit higher!
Also, decided to start throwing in 2-3 sets of Decline bench after flat. What are some of your thoughts on this? I traditionally don't do decline.

The Workout!

CHEST

Flat:
135lbs - 10
135lbs - 10

40 reps - rest few secs + 10 reps

Diamond pushups

What we didn't do: Flyes...

How I plan to work chest later in the week: Dips -- probably do them Thursday.

Thanks for the great review on Osta thus far. Sounds like a great product for sure. Curious to try it for myself and see what I get out of it.

Very interesting that you are gaining in PCT. That shoulder press PR is crazy. Osta is working for you that's for sure.

Solid lifting in today. No PR's but I didn't shoot for any either. Hell did free weight shoulder press (seated) for the first time in months today (usually use smith) and I wasn't too dissapointed with the weight I put up--we all know smith Vs Free are two diff ball games. However, I have no doubt that a month or two of free weight shoulder press and I would be putting up impressive numbers (just don't do them, so not used to it).

DeadLift:
135lbs -8
225lbs - 5
245lbs - 5
315lbs - 1 (50% lift, using the bars so the weight is up some)
315lbs - 3 ^^ Same

Free weight Seated Shoulder--if I can do these again next week, I expect the numbers to progress rapidly e.g. next week 265 for 5-6 easy
135lbs - 12
185lbs - 10
225lbs - 6
245lbs - 5

DB Front raise 40lbs - 3 sets of 5 reps
DB rear delt 25lbs - 3 sets of 15 reps

Shoulder Shrug (225lbs) + DB Shoulder press (80lbs) super set
10 --- 8 reps
10 --- 10 reps
10 --- 16 reps -- push it to the limit

Vertical Pushups

Well, my journey with Osta is coming to a close and am starting up my next sweep of IML products.

My thoughts on Osta:

Osta is a great PCT product, definitely excellent for solidifying gains, giving one a strong mental edge, maintaining appetite, and aids in pumps while at the gym. Personally I would save it for PCT and not utilize it while on cycle...however I did not go above 20mg, so i can't say what magic that girl can work at the higher dosage. I can only say at 20mg it is an excellent addition to the PCT regime and is very effective at helping maintain gains. Definitely would recommend it to any of my peers without hesitation.
Again, if you haven't checked it out I encourage you to do so:

Nice bench brother!

Thanks for the log!

Any weight gain to speak of from Osta RX?

will weigh myself and post today. my starting weight is somewhere in this log.

Note: I would expect a better weight gain if my diet were tuned in better, I have been slacking hardcore. However, I am pretty sure there has been some weight gain... again I will post around 3pm today.

Weight 202.5lbs.

Slight increase.
