Yes, another log! This time, though it is one sponsored by SarmsSearch. For those who do not know, SarmsSearch is a forum sponsor (which means the forum vetted them and they are a safe company to use) and all they make are SARMs (and some agonists, but we lump them into SARMs for ease of talking about them). A search shows the website has been around for about 7 years. 7 years in the SARMs industry is forever, so that is a good thing.

I received the following items:

I will be taking 50mg of S4 a day and 20mg of GW50 a day. The S4 will be split into morning and afternoon doses and I will take the GW50 in the morning. I took my GW50 dose and first dose of S4 already. They taste just like every other SarmsSearch SARM - nasty and oily. I do appreciate the oil over using alcohol - the oil holds the drug in solution so you do not have to shake the bottle like you do with so many other sellers. This means the first dose and the last dose will consistently have the same amount of drug in it. The downside is the oil tends to coat your mouth so you taste it longer. I usually drink some Crystal Lite afterwards and it takes it all away.

I am going to be doing my normal workout routine, which I have modified due to my neck surgery. I have been doing 40 mins of cardio and half of a whole body workout (sans legs) on one day, followed by the same 40 mins cardio and the rest of the body (sans legs again) on the next day. I have one day a week dedicated for legs where I do not do cardio. I am going to continue to do this routine and will log it here. I will also add updates in my 3J Diet thread on occasion. If you have not read about what 3J has done for me, take a gander here: http://www.steroidology.com/forum/diet-forum/673659-my-year-3j-journey-into-fitness.html.

I am currently in a holding pattern to allow myself to fully heal. The surgeon has yet to release me for full weights, so the wait continues. While in this holding pattern, I figured a recomp is in order and the stack of S4 with GW50 should help with that nicely. I am also taking 500mg of test-cyp a week (two 250mg shots), along with a very low dose of Deca for the joints. Nothing else but the expected suppliments and ancillaries needed for this lifestyle.

I am going to give it a few days to kick in and post then. Of course, if I feel or notice anything sooner I will post it right away. I will also pay close attention to vision sides from the S4, but at 50mg a day there should not be any.
 
We def look forward to hearing from you when you're ready bro! Don't overdue anything if you aren't 100%!
 
I would say everything has had time to kick in by now. Yesterday, I went to my Uncle's kettlebell class (yes, at 66 he teaches kettlebell classes at the Y - he does every routine before he makes his students do them!). It was a core workout...an hour of torture and pain. Still, I kept up with the 25 and 30 year olds in the class and felt good about myself. My right tricep is working fine, did not let me down once! I had plenty of energy to keep up even though I was coated in sweat (as was everyone else).

The only thing I purposefully reduced the weights on was the farmer's walk - I am limited to 40 pounds by my surgeon still and am NOT going to violate that.


Afterwards, I felt good - drained, but good. The GW50 certainly did its job. S4 also has some endurance enhancing effects, so some of that credit must go to it as well. I am in a cut, so the use of S4 with my TRT is to help ward off the loss of muscle while losing fat. I hope to actually GAIN some muscle while losing fat, we shall see...the scale combined with the tape measure will tell us all we need to know.

I will start my measurements today, but then shift to a Sunday measurement day. We will see what happens to my fat and muscles over the next month. :) I still have yet to hit the gym tonight, I will go shortly, time to repeat the kettlebell routine!

Nothing wrong with some kettle bells! We're just glad you are feeling the GW and can feel the S4 creeping in!
 
Did my measurements on Monday:

Weight: 199
Stomach: 35.5
Waist: 35.5


I will repeat these every Sunday to see if I am losing body fat AND weight at the same time...or if I am maintaining weight but losing body fat, or whatever. :)


I did the same kettlebell routine again last night, here it is:

Kettlebell Workout Core

Warmup: 25 mins cardio at approx. 140bpm heart rate

Workout
3 sets of each, 30 sec on 30 sec off

Figure 8 full upright
Goblet plank
Elbow to knee (each side) (racked)
High Chop (each Side)
Plank Side Swings (each Side)
Situp Thruster
Fast Hot Potato
Farmer Carry (each side)
Fast Russian Twist (in/out)
Half Getup (each side)
 
Still going strong with the cardio warm up and the core kettlebell workout. I can feel the GW50 helping me recover quickly between sets. Not sure if S4 is supposed to give me any type of feeling, but it is not so I will say it is not supposed to.

I blew my diet yesterday, though. A friend of mine makes homemade donuts and they are divine. Yeah, he makes the dough by hand, deep fries them to perfection, even makes filled ones at home too. Well, he stopped by for a visit and brought a dozen donuts with him. I ate several...most likely my entire day's worth of calories in donuts alone. I regret nothing...

LOL...I would have done the same my friend! One cheat day per week is permitted: signed by TRUEGRIT
 
Ran into a problem on Friday - I pulled something in my neck while doing cardio. Not sure what, but it still hurts slightly this morning. I have been taking it easy because of that. It is not on the same side as the pain was prior to the surgery, so most likely I just am having an "old man" issue - I should stretch more before working out, even before doing cardio on the elliptical.

Here are my stats from Sunday:

Did my measurements on Monday:

Weight: 196
Stomach: 35.25
Waist: 35.25

A 3 pound drop, even WITH eating the donuts! Saying I am shocked is a gross understatement. Here is to hoping I can work the kinks out of my neck and get a good, solid, week in and see where that puts me. :)

Dang bro...hope it was just a strain?? How are you feeling?

Saw my chiropractor this morning (he is also a sports injury specialist) and he looked me over good. He said I pulled some muscles in my neck and the inflammation of it was pressing on the nerve bundles in the area. Of course, my nerve bundles are still recovering from the damage done to them by the bone spurs on my spine, so that just caused a double down on the issue. He did a deep tissue massage on my neck and made it a LOT better. Told me to take a bunch of ibuprofen to help keep down the inflammation and to take it easy for a few days. I am happy that is all it was!

I stopped all weight pushing for the week due to his advice, but am still doing cardio every other day. Tonight I am going in for another 40 minute session.

I expect my weight to go up this week because of the neck issue and will be VERY surprised if it does not. If it does not, it is all because of the SARMs, there really is no other way it could not go up.
 
OK, so I only was able to do one day of cardio - 25 minutes of moderate to heavy. My measurements this morning were:

drum roll please

Weight: 197
Stomach: 35
Waist: 35

I gained one pound but lost a 1/4 inch off my stomach and my waist. I really expected to GAIN in all three! I am really liking this combo and will see what this next week brings me. I leave for GenCon Tuesday evening, but my hotel has a really nice gym so I am going to keep up my workouts while there.
 
I am at GenCon right now, but using the gym to try to leave the Con weighing less than when I arrived. :)
 
Back from GenCon and did weight and measurements. I ate what I wanted to eat and simply enjoyed myself. I only managed to hit the gym once, but also hit the pool that day too. Did a total body workout and then cardio in the pool. GenCon was a VERY fun time!

Weight: 196
Stomach: 35
Waist: 35

Lost a pound while at GenCon, even though I did not eat on diet. I did not do anything stupid either. I consider that a win and it really shows what S4 and GW50 can do together to help you when you cannot (or choose not to) keep your diet on point. Now imagine what is yet to come as I pull my diet back in shape and restart my workout program!

I am going to see about getting more S4 to continue this run while on a good diet and proper workout regimen.
 
Still going strong. I run out of things soon, so I suspect this weekend will be my last update. Take note that much of this time was spent with me being either sick or away from home and therefor there was very little gym time.
 
Last entry, as my stuff has run out:

Weight: 194
Stomach: 34.75
Waist: 34.75

Total difference is a loss of 5 pounds and a 3/4inch drop in both waste and stomach size. All this was with very little actual exercise due to a VERY hectic life the last few weeks. I did a little here and there, but nothing anyone would consider regularly. I am pleased by this loss, especially since I ate whatever the heck I wanted to eat while at GenCon (vacations should be enjoyed, the weight can be lost later).
