True Self Research.. My Ostarine log
Hello everyone, I am logging a bottle of Ostarine for the fine people over at www.trueselfresearch.com I will be using 2 caps per day. I train 6 days a week, I am using Keto to lean out so i feel i will really benefit from this prodct. I will post workout info and possibly videos. I will post what i eat as often as I can. Keto is kinda boring lol
About me:
I am 49 years old
I've been in and out of the gym since 1989 but got serious in 2012 and have competed several times winning approx 10 overall titles in the NPC, NAPA and ME vs ME.
I have also competed in a few open bench meets and have won several of those as well.
But thats old news. Now i'm just an old man trying to stay fit and look good. I want all the ladies in the retirement home to get moist when i walk in the room ;)

Re: True Self Research.. My Ostarine log
Ostarine is fantastic during a cut. It maintains muscle mass with very few (if any) sides, and minimal endocrine suppression if you're running it solo. Have fun, bro.

As far as Ostarine goes Im not sure exactly what i should be "feeling" but i am able to recover a bit faster now and i noticed i feel "tighter" all over. like i feel when im lean for a show.
Re: True Self Research.. My Ostarine log
With Ostarine on a cut, general reports of how it "feels" tend to be related to an easier time losing body fat and increased strength even while in a caloric deficit. That "tighter" feeling should continue. Real Ostarine does not cause water retention.

Definitely feeling tighter, NO water at all, strength is climbing but i dont go as heavy as i use to, i focus now more on time under tension, slower more controlled reps etc..

Still feeling leaner and tighter and im noticing the weight is a bit easier (getting stronger)
Re: True Self Research.. My Ostarine log
Leg day ws basic but intense. Hamstring focus for me.
I am seeing a little more results with Ostarine. The feeling of fullness, tighter skin and even a slight "pump" all day. Overall i feel great and getting stronger, less winded between sets and seeing slow but steady drop in body fat.

Seated Leg Curl 4 x 12-15 with 120lbs
Lying Leg Curl: 4 x 10-12 with 50lbs nice and slow
"superman style" lying leg curls 4 x 8-10 .. mu god the pump was INSANE

*im still trying to keep protein under 120g
Re: True Self Research.. My Ostarine log
Leg day quad focus. I wasnt feeling much energy at all but hit it any way.

I just didnt have the drive for this workout but squeezed of a decent one, the slower rep tempo is brutal. I can lift more weight but when i go slower with the rep speed it makes the pump more insane.
So far so AWESOME with Ostarine. Still feeling lean and tight, getting stronger and seeing abs a bit more. Overall im feeling amazing.
