Okaaaaaayy! Been a while since I added to this log. I had a very bad cold for 3 weeks and basically my cardio sucked the entire time. The Osta takes a few weeks to kick in anyways, so with nothing to report about GW, there wasn't much I could add.
I have gained around 3 pounds since beginning my cycle. It appears to be lean mass, as my clothes are fitting fine still. They are even feeling a tiny bit looser so I am thinking there was some fat loss as well. I am not restricting calories at all right now. I am a chronic undereater and am currently trying to get my calories up. I barely eat 2000 calories as it is, and I should probably be somewhere in the 2300 range (41yr female, 5'7" and 143lbs).
My strength is going up quite nicely and I am noticing more muscle hardness. I have graduated from the 20" box jump to the 24" box jump. I did a 3 week bench press "protocol" that had me pressing 4 times a week. My chest is seriously weak...and I got my bench press up to 80lbs (10 sets of 3) from about 70lbs and I am thinking I didn't go aggressively enough. I can do more. Last night I did a close grip bench press with 90lbs as my 1RM.
My deadlift is stalled at 175lbs but my back squat is up to 155lbs (no belt). I hate writing the numbers...I am sure they seem so small to most people here. I've only been at this a few years, so keep it in mind ;-)
I have been phasing in some cardio - other than my hockey. I did some hill sprints over the weekend and some rowing last night. A good start, not too much congestion dragging me down.
