http://www.ironmaglabs.com/product-list/osta-rx/


I will be taking 3 pills a day, spread throughout the course of my day.

I have just finished PCT after doing a cycle of 500mg Test E for 12 weeks kickstarted w/ 30mg Dbol for the first 5 weeks. I am currently on nothing but food.

My diet is as follows:
6 Eggs
1 Green Apple
1.5 Cups Oatmeal
1 Cup Broccoli

8oz Chicken
1.2 Cups Rice
1 Cup Spinach
Half Avocado

40g Protein Shake w/ 30g Carbs

8oz Turkey
1.2 Cups Rice
1 Cup Spinach
4 Tablespoons Mayonnaise

2-3 Fish Fillets
1.2 Cups Rice

I am 22 years old. 5'7", 213lbs.

Right on brother! Thank you for the log!

Absolutely! Thank you for the opportunity.

Subbed, good luck man.
How did the cycle you just finished go?

I started at 193lbs, about 15% bodyfat. I ended at 213lbs, 12%bf (or higher, you tell me). My strength went through the roof and I don't fit into most of my clothes anymore. So, overall, I would say it went pretty well.

Diggin' the diet, man...following!

It should be fun!

I think I did so well because it was my very first cycle, so don't be too impressed.

I decided to put off Sushi for one more day. So today I am going to go in and Deadlift and probably hit a few sets for Chest, too. Then I'll be taking the next two days off.

Back & Chest: 4/8/2014

This is my third day taking OstaRx.

I typically do not do Chest and Back together - in fact, I don't think I ever have before today. I had an extra day to throw in whatever bodypart I wanted to, so I decided to do this. It was an awesome workout.

Deadlift:
135lbs x Warmup
225lbs x 10
315lbs x 5
385lbs x 5
315lbs x 10

225lbs x 8
*Drop Set* 135lbs x Burnout

Single Arm Seated Row:
3 sets + 1 Drop Set

Cable Cross-Overs:
3 sets + 3 Drop Sets

Assisted Pull-Ups Supersetted w/ Side Cable Lat Pull-Downs:
4 sets of each x 8-12

Flat Chest Cable Flies Supersetted w/ Machine Decline Chest Press:
4 sets of each x 8-15

And that was it. After which I stretched out for about 10-15 minutes and foam rolled a bunch. I drank a 40g Protein Shake w/ 30g Carbs (Oats) afterwards. Well, I almost drank it. I spilled 1/4 of it all over myself in the car. Good workout, though.

I'll be taking the next two days off for sure.

Good to have you.


Alright, so these past two days have been taken completely off, diet included. It has been awesome. I've been adhering to a diet very strictly these past couple of months, so it's nice taking some time off. I had a few beers, some doughnuts, more sushi than any person should be able to consume, lots of coconut shrimp, Pringles, candy, and a pint of dairy free ice cream. I've also had a chicken sandwich from Mcdonalds and some Turkey and Rice from home. I think that's about it. I'm weighing at about 213lbs right now.

I am on day 4 of the OstaRx, so I shouldn't be really feeling or seeing anything different at this point. One thing I have noticed - and this could just be because I am a few days fully off of my PCT so maybe my are stabilizing - is that my sex drive seems to be up. Not quite what it was while on cycle, but definitely up from where it was during PCT.

At any rate, I am getting back on track tomorrow and will be hitting Legs.

I swear I always feel and see Osta kicking in in the first week. It usually shows with vascularity and libido, after that I can see the shoulders begin to fill.

Fun Day: 4/15/2014

I don't know if Osta typically does this to people, but my strength is noticeably increasing. I did not expect any strength gains from the Osta, but I am certainly seeing some. I have lost 2lbs since starting, but I'm looking drier in the mornings than I have looked in a long time.
