Here it is boys, my first Cycle. [Osta log]
- Thread starter AlphaDawg
- Start date
Bet you guys thought I forgot, huh? Pretty much nobody reads this so it's just the same. But I have some prety big news that I feel compelled to write about. I got my shipment of helladrol, NAC, and DAA in the mail. Cost me 25 extra bucks thanks to Custom. Fucking pricks.
I'm in week 8 of my Osta run. This stuff has been fantastic. I've gained about 10 pounds and very little fat. My upper body is looking very good. Side effects at this point include breaking out despite using Benzacline. So that kinda sucks. I'm about to finish week 8 and I might have a few days of Osta left over after that. Once this week is over I'll begin to use my helladrol. I'm still trying to figure out the logistics like what time I'll use it and same with the NAC and DAA.
Here's what it will look like:
Helladrol: 75/75/100/100/100/100
NAC: 0/1/2/2/2/2
D-AA: 1 scoop per day starting this week until the end of the cycle and maybe into PCT
I've got clomid and nolva on hand for PCT. The on-cycle will have been about 14 weeks.

You're definitely gonna want to go at least 10mg a day for the GW. 5mg would be a waste, IMO. I think you'll like the addition of that to Hella. I've got a new bottle of GW on the way from sarmssearch and I'm STOKED to give it a go (been running it with Epi and tren from another company and very excited to be able to compare basically side by side).
As for the long run, considering guys are running osta as a bridge directly into a cycle, you should be okay for a 14 week run total but make sure that PCT is lined up solid.

Nice job on the run man, those are definitely solid results. Hella has a long half life, so you could either just dose once in am and once in PM (for the 75 weeks, take 2 pills AM and 1 PM) or you could split to 3 doses if it's easy enough for you to fit in your day.

It's got a shorter shelf life than osta so split doses are optimal.
Is there any point to taking it in the evening when you won't be exercising? What about once in the morning and once in the afternoon?
Alpha,
I am very new here but have run many cycles in the past and just now starting back in the gym and trying SARMS. I think you have done good work here and made some progress. BUT I must ask, how many years of lifting did you have under your belt before you started this? In your log you hurt yourself (strained a muscle, tendon, ligament) at least three times that I can remember reading and was sick once. Are you more concerned with lbs in your hand or proper development of your muscles? and are you getting enough nutrition and SLEEP as to not crash you white blood cells and immune system, are you more alkaline in your diet to offset the wreck Anabolic's has on your lymphatic system? All in all though, this was a good read, and thank you for the log.

I've been working on and off for years. I've never been in the shape i am now though. Did I get hurt three times? I remember having to miss workouts for two reasons: because I was sick and because I pulled my lat. Other than that everything has been okay.

Depends what "evening" means... For me it's not really something that I take and feel right away like say a PWO, the split dosages are more just to keep blood levels as steady as possible

But yes, afternoon would be fine (depends on what you mean by afternoon, but 2 dosing times will be "better" than one)
Got it, thanks.
Alpha,
Roger that, but no need to injure yourself ya know, massive loss can come of that, glad you ok.
Alright, peoples, I know you've been impatiently waiting for me to begin the next phase of my cycle. Today is the first day of my helladrol cycle. This morning I took:
1 NAC pill
2 25mg helladrol pills
1 scoop of DAA mixed with water
5 mgs of GW (it smells even worse than the ostarine, in that it smells exactly like rubbing alcohol or something you might find under a sink. Surprisingly, it was tasteless. I will take 5 mgs more this afternoon)
25mgs of ostarine (my bottle is nearly empty, figured I might as well finish it than throw it out. About 1 or 2 days of it left)
Yeah it was a pain in the ass remembering all these thing. It's going to be like this for about 6 more weeks (except for osta). I also have to get some taurine.

All that together can be a pain in the ass, but for me personally I just get used to it and it becomes "reflex"... "oops, it's 3 o clock... dosing time!"
Day 1 summary
I picked up some taurine powder today. Took it before my workout. I felt nicely focused and also my cardio went way up but that's probably from the GW. I ran 1.66 miles in about 20 minutes which is nothing to brag about but my breathing was just fine. My lungs felt great and I could have ran more but decided to stop for now. The only problem is my leg muscles haven't caught up to my lungs so I'm feeling very sore right now. I'm going to experiment with the GW and take 5mg before a workout rather than 2 split doses of 5.
As for the helladrol, my first day so I'm not really expecting anything at the moment.
