ostarine /s-4 stack log

Just because you aren't experiencing sides doesn't mean it isn't working.

Oh I know I was just making a note of it. I can definitely tell the S4 has been working just by the intensity of my workouts and the pumps I get while I'm in the gym.

I have chest tonight so I've been loading up on the brown rice for some extra carbs. I'm ready to tear it up once I get off work!
 
Had a good couple days off, got some good workouts in and a nice cheat meal. Monday night I had chest, tuesday morning was boxing, wed. morning was cardio/abs, wed. night was boxing again.

I amped it up for chest on Monday, did a lot more sets than usual:


Bench Press- 5x5 @ 135, 205, 225, 235, 245
Smith Machine Incline 6 x 8-10
Incline DB- 6x8-10 > superset BB pullovers 6 x 10-15
Pulley flyes- pyramid 15, 20, 25, 30, 35, 40, 35, 30, 25, 20, 15

abs

I accidentally jumped to 245 without hitting 235, so I ended up doing two sets with 245 and wasn't able to complet my last heavy set on bench. I reached failure and powered through it with a spotter so its ok.

I noticed last night despite being much leaner from my diet and increases in training intensity, I don't look like I've lost any muscle mass. My arms and chest are about the same, my shoulders actually look bigger, yet my stomach hasn't been this skinny in a couple years since I left college. Usually if I were this skinny I would feel like crap and have to lose a lot of mass and strength, but my weight is pretty stable still (217-220)

It is tough for me to maintain mass without having a little layer on me, so it will be nice to see how this pans out as long as it continues as it has. So far this is exactly what I was going for. I still haven't lost all the fat I'm aiming to lose, but I do feel myself getting closer to my goal each day.
 
Here are a coupld of updated pics. Nothing too crazy but I am looking much leaner from the front view:
 
Had arms last night. Wasn't able to go to the gym so I kinda missed out on a really good arm workout, but I worked with what I have at home:

BB curls: 3 sets of 7 x narrow grip, 7x wide grip, 7x reverse grip @ 45 lbs
- superset with BB overhead tricep 3 sets of 30

DB French presses 3 x 6 @ 40 lbs

BB curls 3 x 5 @ 95 lbs

kick backs w/ 10 lbs 3 x 20 side grip
kick backs w/ 10 lbs 3 x 20 reverse grip
kick backs w/ 10 lbs 3 x 20 backwards grip
- superset w/ bb curls 3 x 10 normal grip and 3 x 10 reverse grip

I suprisingly got a pretty good workout despite not having heavier weight to work with, and I'm relatively sore today. Still, more of a maintenance workout than anything else.
 
You would surprised at what lowering the weight and increasing time under tension does for hypertrophy

Ya it definitely worked my arms in a way they aren't accustomed to so I suppose thats always a good thing.

I have shoulders tonight. Last week's shoulder session was pretty good so I'm excited to see what tonight holds.
 
Ok last night I had shoulders, I noticed on military press I was able to crank out a few extra reps each set without much difficulty. I did notice a little pinch in my bad shoulder toward the end of the workout, but nothing that lasted so I think it's good. Anyway here it was:

Military Press: 6 x10-12
Arnolds: 6 x 10-15 >superset w/ 2 sets of shrugs to failure
Clean and press: 6 x10
Lateral flyes: 6 x12-15 > superset burns following each set
Front raises: 6 x 12-15
seated Bent over rear delts: 4x12 > superset standing rear delts: 4x12
Heavy Shrugs: 4 x failure

I have to go easy on shoulders becuase I have a bad rotator cuff so I usually go higher reps and moderate to low weight. I can't really safely shoulder press 135 without a spotter and a rack.

This morning I weighed 214. I have been eating just as much but I've dropped 6 lbs in two days. It looks like its all from my belly though. I'm not dehydrated and I'm not looking smaller muscle-wise, so I guess it's ok. Part of me is worried that I dropped that much in two days, but my gut looks smaller so I guess I shouldn't complain.

It makes sense too... two days ago was week 2 of ostarine. They say it takes about two weeks for osta to kick in, and sure enough I've shed a few lbs of fat in just a couple days since I hit that two week mark. I may increase my calories a bit to avoid losing too much mass, still not sure how I feel about it...
