Haven't posted any results yet, but just got some soid numbers I am pretty happy about. Have 17 days left in this cycle, so will update then. Cycle wil be about 9.5 weeks long. Started it 6/3.
Started my cycle with SPA Ox - ran it for 4 weeks.
Days 1-13 - 5mg
Days 14-20 - 7.5mg
Days 21-31 - 10mg
Changed to Denkall Ox - will run it the duration of this cycle.
Days 32-46 - 12.5mg
Days 47-67 - 15mg
Stats: (I'm 5'4.5")
5/30 (precycle)
Weight 136 (28.6 lbs fat, 107.4 lbs lean)
BF 21%
6/24
Weight 136 (27.9 lbs fat, 108.1 lean)
BF 20.5%
7/22
Weight 143 (28.2 lbs fat, 114.8 lean)
BF 19.7%
Fat losses haven't been what I wanted, but my diet hasn't been very good. I really wanted to get down to 16-17%. I think my calories were too high to lose BF, and I never *really* got my carbs down as low as I've wanted on a consistent basis. Protein was always high, but I had a hard time with the carbs which made my total calories go too high. My BF% was measured with calipers, by the same person every time (someone I trust).
The muscle gain seems quite good to me - what do you guys think? Decent? I'm excited about the 7.5 lbs of additional muscle (even though I am trying hard not to get upset about being over 140lbs...I know it's silly....). I love muscles.
BUT - my upper body is much more muscular, I have good definition (for me) in my shoulders and chest (striations, separations, and veins!). My stomach has gotten much leaner - it is where I have lost most the BF. I actually have a line down my entire rectus (even in the lower abs)and my obliques look like they want to come out and play soon....
And my stength has increased SOOOOOOO much. I love it.
And there are still 17 days left.... how can I maximize those days? Diet?
