Last dose of Ostarine was Friday, S4 was Thursday(Ran out), and igf Friday as well.
Woke up at a fasted weight of 182! That's 9 lbs in 6 weeks. Exactly what I was looking for on this cut.
I don't look as hard today as I was in the previous week and I think that's due to no longer being on S4.
So overall review
Relaxed waist measurement (Aka letting it dissent)
Jan 17 - 33.5"
Feb 28 - 32"
Flexed Arm measurement (Not pumped)
Jan 17 - 16"
Feb 28 - 16"
Weight
Jan 17 - ~191lbs (It varied from 190-193 day to day)
Feb 28 - 182.0
Strength
While I was trying to cut and wasn't focusing on strength really I can't say whether or not my absolute strength has gone up or down. However my strength endurance has def increased. Weights I could normally only work up to 1-2 sets of say 12 reps before failing I can now do 3-4 sets of 12 with and with shorter rest periods needed between sets to recover.
Size
This is the 3rd time ever I've actually tried to drop weight/fat/whatever. The first time my strength was zapped fairly quick, and this run I did not experience that. The second was during a contest prep and pretty much all my size I felt was lost from my arms and shoulders so that's why I did the constant measuring of them this time to judge is I was "getting smaller" while doing this. I didn't. I pretty much look the same size wise from the beginning just leaner. Although my wife swears my arms have gotten bigger.
Side effects
After the first week I def felt my libido drop off and it is still down. I tried to mitigate it with Unleashed and that has help some but it's still down. I've also noted slightly weaker erections but I think that may be e2 related with the Ostarine because I am rather sensitive it e2. I get the same problem on test is I don't have a low dose AI running. There is some lethargy noted too. The first week I had some mild tension headaches that went away completely after about 10 days. I did not have any of the vision issues with S4 and I ended up running it everyday vs the 5 on 2 off protocol. Although most vision issues are noted above 50mgs and I was only taking 35mg.
So start to finish
Weeks 1-6 20mg PP Ostarine
Weeks 2-6 35mg PP Anadrine (S4)
Weeks 3-6 60mcg MC IGF-1
I will be starting MC Aqua-Clo at 25mg a day for about 3 weeks for PCT and 60mg of Raloxifine for about 2 because I have some laying around left over from my last cycle pct.
All and all I have pretty pleased with this small cut and the use of my lottery winnings. Thanks Presser for making this possible! :gold:
Tomorrow morning is my bodpod reading to see my body composition changes. My last one was early November towards the end of my last cycle at 193.5lbs and 13.5% BF with a RMR of 2,016 kCals. So I'm interested to see my results. I'll post those when I have them.
Now to decide what to do next. Maintain or get leaner...
