Female Osta & GW log

So I finally decided to try the SARMS stack. I had been kicking around the idea of an Anavar cycle for quite some time but the sides and potential sourcing issues kept me from taking the plunge. I am a bit of a hypochondriac when it comes to these things and I am my own worst enemy because of it!!! In my defense, when I was 18 I went to the hospital with what I thought was a nasty case of bronchitis and ended up being diagnosed with cancer (Hodgkins lymphoma). All cured now but it left me with "issues".

So, let's start with some stats:

Female, 41yrs
Height: 5'7"
Weight: 138lbs
Body fat: ~20% bioimpedance analysis (no access to a bodpod)

Training:
Crossfit 3-4 x week. Class is typically divided into 1/2 powerlifting and/or strength training and the other half METCON
Weight Training 1-2 x week. Generally to concentrate on things not covered in Crossfit and improve weak body parts
Hockey 1-2 x week. Ball hockey...provides moderate cardio workout

Diet:
At maintenance with IIFYM (with clean food sources). Little or no refined sugars. Carbs are mainly derived from sweet potato, oatmeal, Ezekiel bread or homemade breads, some fruits. I workout in the evenings and backload all of my carbs.

Supplements: Fish oil, vitamin D, probiotic, N2Slin, multi

SARMS1 Service:
Top notch service. Shipping is about average to eastern Canada, which is fine by me. Only so much you can do with customs in the way! Tracking is provided and that's all that's necessary. Pretty much anytime you send an email with a question, you'll get an answer back quickly. Here on the board Dylan will help you out any way he can...even if it's just to provide some encouragement or support. That is really above and beyond and the key to repeat business. You feel more like a part of a community than just a customer. The rest of the sarms1 guys are extremely helpful as well. They obviously believe in their product very much.

Cycle:
GW x 10 weeks @ 20mg ED, split into 2 doses every 12 hours
Osta x 10 weeks @ 12.5mg ED

I am not going to change diet for this cycle. I want to see how I do running at maintenance for now.

Apparently GW kicks in pretty quickly and Osta takes a few weeks to start seeing effects. I'll post as I notice changes
 
My lady uses GW on and off. She kinda depends/leans on it when cuz she's determined to fit into old clothes.

She likes it, calls it distgusting juice lol

But she's always buggin me to get her another bottle when it runs out soooo

Great start to your log, miss lady. I love your sources of food and your training split I will be following this for sure. And yes it took until the third week for my osta to kick in but once it did the remaining 5 weeks were insane! Let us know if you have any questions and good choice going with sarms1 for your sarms they really are a step above the other companies.

That's sweet! my girl lost 15lbs. by just doing cardarine (GW-501516), no diet changes.

I am liking this idea a little more. The only reason I am running this "high" in BF% is a little mishap I had while reverse dieting. I competed in May and stayed low-carb, high activity for too long. When I added carbs back in I went a little too fast at one point and packed on pure body fat. I scaled back a little, started backloading and then added those carbs back in when my metabolism adjusted. I never dieted it off because I have some strength goals I am working on but I did start to recomposition. I should even scale up my carbs a little but I will work on that as I see what happens with the GW!
 
This is going to be a great stack for you. Females have been having awesome results using sarms1
 
Today was day2 and obviously I don't notice a huge change in my routine but there was something that bothered me yesterday and I am noticing again today. About 2 hours after my GW dose I feel a change in blood pressure or low blood sugar. The first time I dismissed it as my mind playing tricks on me. I have it again this evening.

I was pretty sure I had read something like this so I went back to the EF boards and found the log that was in the back of my mind...

Sure enough - WolfpackAlpha reports:
- At first (first few days) a bit of a fast heart beat

I think this is all I am experiencing. Anyone else notice similar reactions?

I had the same issue, as did a few of my clients. The energy burst is so amazing, people aren't used to it (including me when I started). I mitigated the situation by adding caseinate/egg/whey protein mix with glutamine and walnuts around 3-4 times/day, especially when I had that fast heart rate feeling. The Cardarine (GW-501516) literally helps you melt the fat off, so your body is over-utilizing energy reserves (fat stores) - burning them off.
 
In for your log.. youre going to love your results

I have experienced this too and I'm 3 days in. Just your body acclimating to a new substance. Eating something light like an apple or some carbs should help. I like to train in a fasted state but one of the byproducts of this is that your body will be super-efficient and absorbing stuff. This makes sense because fasting will actually increase protein synthesis and insulin sensitivity. Nothing to be worried about, ma'am! Keep up the good work.

You know I am here to help in any way I can... I want to make sure you have the absolute best experience AND get the most out of your cycle... Good luck with everything... I will be following along...
 
as your vo2max increases and your body acclimates you will actually notice the reverse effect as your resting heart rate will continue to decrease... the healthier and more in shape you are, the lower your resting heart rate will become... The key here is to give it a few days, let your body adjust and DO NOT ever panic because all you will do is cause yourself a panic attack and that attribute it to something its not... Stay relaxed, work hard and enjoy the results!

Ahhh - see, Dylan knows a hypochondriac when he meets one lol. Knowing this is a very normal reaction for some people will definitely help me relax a little. Dylan is right, not only do I feel the reaction, my own "panic" makes it worse. :o I am self aware enough to know that I am amplifying the effect, at least!

Thanks for all the input!
 
Today was the first METCON I have done in Crossfit since beginning my cycle:

AMRAP for time 20min:
400m row
40 wallball shots

I did 4 rounds. I suck at rowing and this has not changed. The only thing I noticed this evening was slightly lightheaded while doing the WOD. I had this when I quit smoking years ago and recognize it for what it is: more oxygen.

That's a lot of rowing and wall balls. 20 min AMRAPs are not my cup of tea haha. Keep up the good work!

I like it.. thats what I like about crossfit training. It really shocks your central nervous system with those routines and gives you different type of athleticism. Good work

Just a little update...

I started getting a cold on Monday so I am not my best. I really haven't noticed a huge difference at the gym/hockey/crossfit yet and the scales have gone up a pound. I kind of expected a little drop in weight??? Is it too soon for that?

How do you look in the mirror? It's entirely possible that you have recomped a bit adding a little lean muscle while dropping fat

With Osta taking a few weeks to kick in, I figured I wouldn't have too much in the way of gains in the first week. Most people feel GW kick in right away, which is why I thought maybe I would see a loss in weight at first, at least until the Osta kicks in.

I think I'll go back on my N2Slin...I was taking a little break from it.
 
This is definitely the time to take n2slin

^^This could be very possible. GW is anti-catabolic so you're preserving muscle while losing fat and perhaps gaining some muscle already. Especially if you've been strength training.
 
Update:

I am at the 2 week mark into my 10 week cycle. It's hard to know if I have any improvements in my cardio due to the GW because I have been sick with the flu for most of these past 2 weeks. I am still very congested so cardio basically sucks.

I have been concentrating mainly on lifting because it is easier to handle with this much congestion. I am working a 4 week, 4 day a week bench press program on top of my regular workouts. Next will be a shoulder program because as my trainer snarks: "how can shoulders that big be that weak?"

Awesome caligirl...I'd love to hear your results too! I read your post on your fat loss competition but can't find it...are you doing Osta and GW, or just GW?

I haven't added much because I was so sick the past few weeks. I would say that I am having generally "good" workouts, which isn't bad considering I am fighting a flu. I haven't hit any PRs but I have been fairly strong, which again, is pretty good considering how unwell I am! The flu does skew my results and this irritates me to no end!

I haven't decided for sure. I wonder if I should just do the GW? Start with one and see how it goes....decisions, decisions!
 
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.
 
i think your doing pretty good. I know you dont think everything is good, but given the circumstances not bad at all.

You know what you need to work on and once you get better work towards those goals. its good to see the sarms are working and will help you along your way.

Keep it up.


on another note, i played hockey for 14yrs. good sport

Thanks gymrat! I was built for endurance, not strength. I can do the metcon WODs all day long but still have a hard time strict pressing 60lbs 3 times. Oh well - we do what we can.
 
I wouldn't sweat the numbers at all. I think you're doing great and I'm impressed with your workouts. The only one you really have to compete with is yourself and I think you're kicking butt! :)

Keep squatting and your deadlift will go up I promise...just make sure you always deadlift before you squat in your routine there is a lot of carryover between the two since both require strong hip extension. Your workouts are looking good...just wait 'til the ostarine kicks in :)
 
So last night was a lower body workout at crossfit.

Backsquat = 5x3 @ 155lbs

4 sets of 10 hipthrusts (95lbs) & romanian split squats (50lbs)

WOD: EMOM for 10 minutes:

10 kettlebell swings (35lbs)
5 burpees

It was a quiet class too - only 2 of us. The other woman was 19 and in fantastic shape. I kept up with her in the WOD no problem!

I have also booked a vacation in March so now I am wondering if I should cut a little. What diet do people recommend with GW/MK? I see a lot of Evolutionary diet people on the board but was wondering if there was a suggested strategy?!?! I haven't decided if I want to cut just yet though...just pondering...!
 
Great night at hockey last night! I was so tired heading out there but ended up full of energy.

We play 4 on 4 ball hockey - so all running. We only had 1 spare so there was a lot of "ice" time. We ended up winning despite being short benched. I could have played all night lol!

Back to crossfit tonight. I believe it's upper body work. Pullups etc...

I'm still debating cutting a little!
 
I'm going to sub this. I'm looking forward to seeing all of your results... especially considering you're doing crossfit. Considering the joint stress that comes with x-fit, I think the Ostarine will keep your body in optimal training mode. This is a perfect recomp stack for me to recommend to some of my female friends and clients. Thanks for logging.

playing 4 on 4 keeps things very open. im sure you end up doing a shit ton of running......which is only going to help your cause. mostly because its bursts of running, than keeping in somewhat a position, than running again.


very similar to HIIT

Yup I would agree. Keep up the good work, aztec, I like your workouts! And CrossFit can be made fun of...but it works and is not easy by any means.
 
I know some guys that are super strong that do CrossFit... its really comes down to perfecting your own craft, whatever that may be. Keep tearing it up girl.

Crossfit works for me as a motivator - at least the Crossfit that I go to is. It may not be the same for everyone/everyplace...but I think this particular "box" is suited for women. It is brand new and has a lot of women going there. They come in wanting to "tone", of course...but the coaches really focus on getting them stronger and lifting more. It has worked for me a lot. I know we aren't supposed to "compare" ourselves, but there is a little urge to try out what the woman next to me is doing.

Last night I got my bench press up to 100lbs for my 1RM. Huzzah!

Then the workout:

- Pullups: 6 sets. 5-5-3-3-1-1. I still can't do a pullup...every time I get close I add a few more pounds and lose it. Eventually I'll get them. We use bands to help. I am at the smallest band right now...so I am back to close.

- Barbell rows: 10 x 3 @ 75lbs
- Close grip Bench Press: 10 x 3 @ 85lbs

WOD - for time:

Pushups: 100
Ring Rows: 50

Finished in 9minutes...I did do some pushups on my knees, but over 1/2 were regular.

Then I did some bicep curls on my own before calling it a night

I did it for 2 months before basic training and my early benchmarks were way better than my later benchmarks. I went in shredded and lean and actually came out fat.

That's interesting.....I've never done Crossfit but curious what you figure caused it?? The fatness I mean. lol
 
I do crossfit once a week. I do it for the full body burn and cardio benefits. I just started a few weeks ago. Before that I did a Speed Agility Quickness class once a week. I'm not trying to make gainz in crossfit so I get some funny looks when I'm over head pressing less than some of the females. I just tell them, this is my "rest" day from lifting. I get really funny looks then. LOL.

I went from eating paleo and doing x-fit and swimming 50 laps every morning, not to mention all of my HES classes were kinesthetic the semester leading up to basic. Then I went to basic and we ha a weak training regiment. We PT'd but it wasn't what I was used to. I think they may have went easy on us because our brother flight had a person successfully commit suicide in the 1st few days. Also, we had a week where we were in desert conditions but we were black flagged or it was pouring all week so we didn't really do anything except eat MREs which are 3000 kcals a piece... Not to mention DFAC food was just a bit different than what I prepped at home ;)

Damn sure could have used that 10% code for AG yesterday. Live and learn.....

You prob put on more muscle during basic...it's just a different kind of workout. Luckily when I went through my initial military training it was still based on Olympic type events. Hell I had to do the long jump. LOL.....shit i'm old.

Yep. The funny thing is, I went to a basic training when I was 15 and turned 16 whilst in. It was a juvenile program for kids who screwed around and it was actually a game-changer for me as it propelled me in the right direction and got me involved with law enforcement on a positive note. It was ran by state troopers and was pretty badass. I can honestly say that it was way more difficult than air force basic... By a mile. And not just because I was a kid. We ran 10-15 miles at one shot as a norm. All the cops in charge of me ended up becoming best friends and 15 years later, I still work out with some of them.

Good stuff man.

Just like this training we are all addicted to, hard work and discipline does wonders.

I did 7 years in the AF. Got commissioned via ROTC. So our training was even more of a joke than your basic. LOL. I used to go workout AFTER our PT sessions.
 
I am just starting week 5 now. I've put on about 6lbs of mass. I am still somewhat conditioned to want the scales to go down, rather than up so sometimes I have to remind myself that this is a good thing lol. It can't be fat...I have made almost no changes to my caloric intake and continue to improve performance. It can only be lean mass that I am adding. Body fat measurement will be in a few weeks.

Tonight's workout was all leg...

- Cleans. 5x5 at 65lbs, last 2 sets at 70lbs. Pure technique rather than performance.
- Front squat. sets of 5-5-3-3-1-1. Hit my new PR of 130lbs. Had to toss 135lbs. Bummer...was so close

WOD:
5 sets of:
16 walking lunges
25m sled push

I finished it up with 7 sets of 100 jump ropes.
 
Wow! That`s pretty sweet! It's hard to get your mind around that scale conditioning but it sounds like things it going in the right direction. Great work!!

I am just starting week 5 now. I've put on about 6lbs of mass. I am still somewhat conditioned to want the scales to go down, rather than up so sometimes I have to remind myself that this is a good thing lol.

i know at times it can be quite difficult to get your head past the scale, but you also have to remember that muscle weighs a lot and your body fat is what determines what is truly going on... you can tell in the mirror if your making progress and from the sounds of it, your making excellent progress... keep up the good work!

Yes! I totally agree with this.

I think your wife would be happy with the results, bloodgamezi! I am really liking this cycle and will definitely try the triple stack next. I've already bought it, as a matter of fact.

I think the one thing I have a hard time gauging is the effects of GW on me. Endurance has always been my thing so it's a bit hard to see how much more I can do. There's just not enough time in the day to workout until I am tired!!! Strength is where I really lag behind.

If your strength goes up there will be some carryover in terms of endurance and vice versa. Endurance is a pain in the butt because it takes 6-8 weeks before you peak regarding cardiovascular conditioning so just stay consistent! You're doing an amazing job.
 
Set another PR last night. Got my back squat up to 165lbs for 1 rep. I also think I could have gone higher. I am fussy about perfect form and at 165 my knees were coming in a little too much.

Here was the workout...it was a killer:

Started with some shoulder work - they are lagging a little because of a rotator cuff problem.

- Strict press 6x6 @ 50lbs

Then I started the workout:

- Backsquat: 2 warmup sets then 2 set of 5 reps, 2 sets of 3 reps and 2 set of 1 building to my max of 165lbs

- Hip thusts: 4x10 @ 95lbs
- Romanian split squats: 4x 10 @ 40lbs

Then the WOD AMRAP for 12 minutes:

- 25m sled push @25lbs
- 15 GHD (glute/ham developer)
- 250m row

I got 3 full rounds in, plus the sled and GHD on round 4...
 
Yeah... you worked your ass off. That's what I personally love about logs, it really keeps your head in the game and performance high amongst your peers. Great work!

The beauty of running the products offered at www.sarms1.com is that they're extremely versatile. They are not some one-trick pony. GW and osta's scale "problems" aren't surprising at all. Essentially, you are talking about to key components to a PCT and/or recomp stack. You are essentially recomping right now. You are not going to waste/catabolize your muscle for energy. Both of the these products are extremely effective at preventing muscle-wasting. Unless you are unbelievably obese, drastic scale changes aren't a biproduct. I can personally attest to this.
 
I am really trying to concentrate on performance based goals rather than aesthetic ones. I hate to bring this up on a board full of men, but there is so much emphasis on women being "lean" in the fitness community (I know - guys too...).

Just yesterday I was talking to a woman who had dieted down to a meager 7%bf. She was ripped!! And sick as fuck! Her hair was falling out. She was fainting on a regular basis. She couldn't lift anything. Her hormones were completely out of whack. She was a total mess. But she was ripped. She ended up unable to compete so now she's back to eating normally and a nice %15bf. She feels fat and puffy. She misses being 7%bf, even though she was sick as hell and couldn't lift her own head let alone the 280lb deadlift I saw her do the other day. She is getting caught up in looking a certain way rather than performing a certain way.

She's 18.
