Thanks for all the good words and encouragement. Again, I can't say enough about this stuff.
I'll try to answer a few of the questions you guys have been asking me.
I have gained about 8 pounds of muscle in the four weeks I've been on Ox. Now, take into consideration that I've been taking in a lot of protein to push it, and that NONE of the weight gain is bloat or fat. It's ALL solid as hell, and I've never looked better, more ripped, more defined, than I do now. Eight pounds may not seem like much to someone using more of a water retention AS, but with Ox, those eight pounds of solid rock, added to the definition lines I've been developing, make me look mean as hell. And let me tell you, not trying to sound like a prick, but the girls freaking love it.
About taking it with grapefruit juice to help absorption, that was advice from HUCK, who has been an amazing authority on Ox here at Elite, and he really helped me out with advice on my cycle. I don't want to claim I know all the reasons for it, but I assume it must have something to do with the acids helping to break down the Ox, and the sugars to help transport it into the bloodstream, much like you do with creatine. Again, do your research, and ask the Mods. Huck, Conan, Stewmeat(not a mod, but a wealth of info!), and so many others here are the best friends and help you could get with AS. They really helped me, and they'll really stress to you to be informed and know what you're doing, and you'll ge the best results.
What did I pay for the tTokkyo? About $350 for 200 tabs, Domestic. Yeah, it's expensive, but do it right and the benefits are awesome! Sometimes you really do get what you pay for. Hey, you can blow a lot of money buying crap at the health store that will never give you any results at all. In fact many of us have spent a ton of cash doing that, and got nothing for it. So, save and spend wisely, and you'll thank yourself later when you use the real stuff. AND REMEMBER, do your source checks!!! The mods are life-savers for that.
Sides? Nothing really. Just look awesome, feel like I could lift cars, and have that pumped feeling almost all the time. Maybe a little insomnia, but I blame myself for sometimes taking my second daily dose a little later than planned some days, so it keeps me up a bit. But that's avoidable. I also take it with a few crackers to avoid any stomache discomfort. Hasn't been an issue, because like I keep saying, if you plan it out well, and not wreckless, you'll be fine, and really get results.
I'll post what happens to me after my cycle is over and let you know what gains stay, and what goes. All I've read so far says that they stay, but I'm sure some of the jacked feeling 24/7 will go. That's why I want to get right back on it as soon as I can. I want to do more research to see if I can extend the length of my cycle a little while longer, and the minimum time I have to be off before going back safely. Of course, I'd appreciate any info on that.
Honestly, the key to success with any of this stuff is knowledge and planning. Don't go into it wrecklessly without a clue, because you'll waste a lot of money, and possibly risk your health. Know what you're doing, and you'll love what you get from all your hard work and money well spent. Create a goal of a body type that you want, and research the various steps, cycles, and timetable you'll need to make it happen. Plan it out and you'll be safe, jacked, and loving every minute of it.
