RickRock's recomp ride with SARMSSEARCH S4 and Ostarine!!

[RickRock13]

The last couple days I've been busier than sh1t, and haven't had time to update everything. Now that I have time I wanted to bring everyone up to speed on what's been going on...

My planned pics on Sunday didn't happen for a couple reasons. I didn't have time because I was so busy, and i also ended up going to a nephews birthday party and ate cake, ice cream, and other things that I shouldn't have for a burn day. The result was a lot of bloat and water retention.....not good for pics. So...I will just plan to do pics this weekend after I get this current bloat cleaned up...more on that in a minute.

Yesterday and today's workout was absolutely incredible. I matched or nested PRs in many chest and back exercises, and my pumps have been absolutely insane! I had quite a Carb up yesterday, and you add that to the bloat I carried over from the weekend, and I ballooned up to 168 this morning. That is the heaviest I've been in weeks. So even though today is technically a build day, I'm keeping the carbs low, and the Cal's will be down from a typical build day and probably be under 2400 to clean up some.

The good news is that because of all the glycogen and water I was carrying, I was very full. I can honestly say I have NEVER looked as huge as I did this morning. It was nice! the result was pumps that were almost painful! I think the extra glycogen really added to my performance, and the reason I had such good workouts

This will more than likely be my last week from the looks of how much S4 I have left, so this weekends pics will probably be my final pics. The vision sides went away back to nothing this weekend from not dosing it, so I think I'm going back to the 90mg or so dose until the end...

I went pretty much Carb free yesterday with the exception of one medium sweet potato and it helped clean up some of the water retention, but not all of it. I was at 166 this morning so I dropped a couple lbs of it anyways. Tomorrow is a burn day which should clean up even more.

I definitely want to make sure I'm full, yet lean and very dry for the final pics this weekend. My plan is to Carb up pretty good on Friday and get pretty full, then I will be low to no Carb until Sunday night. Hopefully between that and cardio, I can be pretty dry by Sunday afternoon when I plan to take pics. I'm even considering getting some Epson salt to take a bath in Saturday night to be even more dry...

I'm not sure how much of a difference there will be in my last pics, but I have dropped a little bodyfat, even though it hasn't been much at all. I added Cal's to workout days which slowed things down considerably, but I still dropped a tad and I know I'm under 6%, but I will get an accurate measurement along with the pics this weekend

Today's workout was pretty good. Nothing earth shattering as far as performance, but I think from getting a little depleted yesterday it may have affected performance a tad. It was still a good workout nonetheless....

I've probably been closer to 100mg per day of S4 and so far the sides are not bad. Though I do suspect that later in the week the vision sides will start to get bad again towards the last 3 days or so

Cardio and burn today.....

Started off with 30 minutes treadmill this morning running 8 MPH for a 400+ cal burn. I will be hitting another 30-45 minutes this afternoon on the elliptical for 400-500 Cal's more burned.

I'm still trying to clean up some of this bloat and its coming along pretty good. I was 166 after yesterdays build day which is better, so tomorrow I should be 165ish. I can tell since some of this water has dropped that I've leaned a little more. I seen a more prominent vein on my abdominals that was more faint the last time I noticed it. I will be able to tell more changes tomorrow as I dry out I'm sure. Today's diet is going to be low cal, low Carb, and super clean. Probably end up under 2k with less than 40-50g carbs

Incredible workout today! Hit more PRs on both biceps and triceps. I didn't get to push quads as hard as I wanted because my lower back had gaslight pain in it that the higher the weights was, the more it was aggravating it. I still couldn't believe some of my lifts. Went up 10 lbs over my previous PR on weighted dips and did the same amount of reps. It felt damn good repping out ten with (3) 45lb plates hanging off my belt. Got a lot of stares on those!

Dried out quite a bit and looked damn ripped more than ever this morning at 165. Vascularity was off the chain and pumps were HUGE despite a depleted state. Veins are coming in everywhere. Can't wait to get an accurate measure of bodyfat this weekend.

I had my last dose of S4 this morning and the bottle is dry, so this log will be wrapping up soon. Final pics/measurements this weekend!!

Burn/cardio day....

Did 60 minutes of cardio. First 30 minutes was running at 8.3 MPH. My endurance has increased so much in the last couple months that I've been able to add speed to my running every week. 7 MPH most feels like nothing anymore...lol. The last 30 minutes I did incline treadmill walking 3.5 MPH @ 10% incline. Total burn was 975 Cal's

I'm looking pretty lean today. My diet today has been pretty much carb free except trace amounts for my fast breaker. It was pretty much 100% protein with 2 scoops of whey, 14 oz chicken breast, 5 oz Greek yogurt (plain), and one slice of LN cheesecake. Tonight I may have some carbs and the diet probably won't be as clean. Hopefully this will let me fill up just a little bit for pics, but still allow me to dry out by tomorrow afternoon.

Tomorrow I will have the bodyfat measurements and pics and will be the last day of my log. Its been fun, but all good things must come to an end
