Crown's OSTA Rx Log.

Well today was first day back to heavy training, and it was quite disappointing. However, could have been worse! I had a significant drop from last week. But, my diet was SHIT for the past 3 days and I am sure that negatively impacted me.

All in all I can't really complain. Haven't touched heavy weight for 4+ weeks, been doing all volume. So a new max of 385 isn't too shy from my 405 marker, and like I said I really think today was just an off day

I Just started IRON MAG's Osta RX
IronMagLabs Bodybuilding Supplements & Prohormones: Osta Rx

I encourage you to check it out!

Now that I have Osta in the regime I should definitely be seeing some nice benefits. I have no doubt that once it takes hold, and my diet gets back on track I will be making solid gains once again. That being said I gotta make my tuna salad tomorrow!

Flat Bench:
135lbs - 8 reps
225lbs - 15 reps
315ls - 5 reps
365lbs - 3 reps
385lbs - 1 rep --- this is my new max. ( a bit shy of my 425...but I shall work back up. I also feel like today was an off day and my diet past few days hurt as well, I am optimistic to break 385 easily within 2-3 weeks)
335lbs - 5 reps
335lbs - 5 + 1 rep
335lbs - 4 + 3 reps

Incline Smith hellcentric (Got this from 'hellcentric' by Animal [i think]. Basically someone pushes down on the bar and you resist, downward motion lasts about 5 secs and then you explode upward).
225lbs 5 sets of 5 reps

Pushups: 2 sets of 50 reps.

Going to be a good day.
Hitting some cardio here soon. Then back tonight

Will post yesterday's workout today. It is locked in my buddy's car.

Today am feeling pretty good. But, might be a rest day or a deadlift day.

Get it done! I'll be following along:)

Thanks, am gonna need some cheering!
A rough ride ahead of me.

I wanted to give back something to the SR community, so I'm going to log my PCT. I've just recieved
anabolic steroids

Did a very short workout today. My buddy's leg was hurting. But, its all good. Next week is another week. Going to kick it up a notch.

Squat:
135lbs - 5
225lbs -5
275lbs - 3 reps
245lbs - 7
245lbs - 7
I perform my squats well below 90 degrees, pause at the bottom, and then explode upwards. So, they are a bit harder than it appears on paper.

Hamstrings (cybex, with free weight plates) 90lbs
3 sets of 5 reps.

2 mile walk

Today I get plenty of rest, then back hard tomorrow.
Can't wait!!!

Did a bunch of stomach exercises yesterday, weighted and not.
Sunday = rest
Monday = Chest.

Had some bad ass porkchops for dinner. Good stuff.

For sure, less rebound off of those tissues and tendons with that dreadful pause.
I'm not really a huge fan of the idea IML had to put in that prop blend of stuff. I think I've started to feel some of the effects of it (or what I think are it) and it's going to be hard, if not impossible to differentiate feelings of well-being or increased libido from actual osta or the prop blend. How have you been feeling?

Well I am feeling good. I am using the Osta as part of my PCT. At this point I am getting pretty good workouts, haven't lost much, and am waking up every morning with a nice hard on (which I would hope is a positive sign!).

I think by next week the Osta will be in full effect. I wouldn't doubt if my logs start reflecting an increase in strength by then. Time will tell :winkfinger:

Bench Day !!!


Alright, today wen't AWESOME. My lifts all went up from last week, a significant improvement. Getting some strength back.


1st set 365

27.5lbs - 20
27.5lbs - 20


Free weight flyes 25lbs - 2 sets of 20 reps. Being that I couldn't go heavy I just concentrated on getting a good stretch.

5 reps
~3 reps + 2 with spot

Back Day

Just weighed myself in my boxers...

Not too shabby, considering at my peak (more than a few weeks ago I was at 204). Gonna have to say I have kept some of my gains fairly well.

Great log, looking solid.
