End weight: 64,9kg (143lbs), 26,7% Bodyfat*

*Measured by a ****ty scale without handhelds. Surely not accurate, but shows the tendency

Starting working sets for squats: 100kg (220lbs) * 5 reps / 3 sets @70kg (154lbs) BW

Outlook

Previously mentioned Diet History:

maintaining 73kg BW at pretty high BF

daily average @2700kcal, I'd say 70% "clean"

5 days of workout/week

approx 250-300km biking/week, usually split to 5-6 units

Self-body-image was okay, because strong AF and that was my only focus at this part of time

Diet start with "kickstart week" (inspired by gym mates who had incredible success doing PSMF) which lasted much longer than originally intended due to lack of success with it

daily average @1400kcal with <40gr KH

training volume unchanged, also no strength loss

overall weightloss during the complete phase (12 weeks): 3kg (and no, I was NOT cheating)

the worst thing was probably that I was really feeling like I am dieting incredibly hard and I had cravings all the time but was very disciplined and did not "cheat" on my very restrictive diet. Within these 3 months, I maybe had 3 days >2500kcal.

Basically, I started hating myself everyday a bit more because nothing happened, although I was torturing me so much. So my "very smart consequence" was...

daily average 1200 kcal with <30gr KH

kcal with <30gr KH training volume unchanged

overall weightloss during the complete phase (12 weeks): 1kg (!!)

I can't believe I actually did that 12 weeks... Again no cheating, self-hate increasing, therefore "old habits" starting again (I have a vivid past with eating disorders (Anorexia) and self harm plus severe problems to eat whenever other people are present)

immediately upped kcal to daily average of 1550kcal and started adding KH again

reverse dieting (especially for KH) up to a daily average of 2100kcal (@150gr KH, 1gr fat/kg BW, [email protected]) at the end of my cycle

training volume unchanged

overall weightloss in those 8 weeks: 5kg

I actually planned for severe weightgain (because that is what physics and law of energy conservation implicates, right?). I can't really explain what is happening here but - and now you are allowed to call me officially stupid - it happened to me exactly the same way several times before but I never learn from that mistake -.- E.g. when I had to go to hospital due to anorexia. At this point, I had not eaten more than 200kcal for more than 6 weeks, in the last two weeks, I had exactly 68kcal a day, had lost 43kg in 6 months (starting as a “healthy diet”) and weighted 42kg. When they told me that I have to eat 2000kcal right away without any slow increase, otherwise they would force feed me by a feeding tube, I did exactly that (and under supervision) but actually started losing weight, until they increased me up to 2800kcal – plus not being allowed to even walk or stand for longer times. My doctors even thought about putting me under special 24h-observation because they thought I’d use high dosages of laxatives. They had no explanation for this, but after many spontaneous blood tests, spontaneous weighing in the middle of the night etc pp and when I finally started putting on weight, they started trusting me thankfully.

Back to the now: I could imagine that my body during anorectic phases learned to switch superfast to an energy saving mode. However, also 1200 kcal, I never felt cold and did not lose strength (but also surely made no gains).

So this is it - 8 weeks of Osta have passed so quickly! Time for a final update and comparison pictures. Sorry - this might be a long one.Oh and I am not going to put this at the end of the Post: Special thanks toandAlthough I did not use Ostarine during an intended cut, I lost over the course of 8 weeks 5kg. Bodyfat also dropped, however, I can't say for sure how much.Since I think the story behind that all is something many girls can relate to and actually explains why Ostarine did so much for me - mentally and physically - find a "diet history" below this main post since it might be somewhat longer.Since I am changing most of my exercises frequently and squats are at the moment the best one to compare, I'll only talk about my squat performance strengthwise.During the first weeks of Ostarine, I was somehow unable to squat properly. Please don't ask me why - it just didn't feel right. Once I was able to get the right feeling back, performance was good, but not through the roof. If you take my weightloss into consideration, relative strengthgain was probably insane, though:: 100kg (220lbs) * 5 reps / 3 sets @70kg (154lbs) BW: 107,5kg (237lbs) * 5 reps / 3 sets @65kg (143lbs) BWAs previously mentioned, increased performance/endurance/stamina with my bike rides was the first thing I noticed @ approx week 2. After week 3-4, it did not increase any further.The pumps I had on Osta were INSANE! Vascularity was clearly increased (although this might be also a bit due to weightloss). Both of it was starting at week 3-4 and pretty much increased until the end of the cycle.Obviously, I added some definition by weightloss itself and it is hard to say what would have been without Osta. I believe that it still did a lot to me, especially my delts made great progress finally.Other physical and mental side-effectsNothing bad (for me personally) really. No, no, no(that I did not have before) and no worsening of already present skin issues.My firstwas 2 days very light instead of 4days strong + 2days medium/light. The second one did not happen at all (should have gotten it around 21st of July).In terms of, things were going normal until week 7-ish: Normally I start putting on/retaining over night a lot of water approx 1 week before my period is starting and it all comes off with the start of my period then. This happened this time exactly as scheduled again, but since I did not get my period, I am still holding a lot of water at the moment – it simply did not come off which is somewhat annoying.Starting @ week 6, I felt like my smell changed slightly. Not sure about that though! It was not from a special body area, more like my "normal me-smell" that seemed changed... weird to describewas not increased, during the first weeks even decreased. Cravings shifted to protein-rich foods (especially whey, cheese and quark so dairy in specific I guess), although my protein intake was mostly approx 160gr daily.... erm... let's put it this way: If I would have been in a relationship, my boyfriend would have been quite busy during the cycle^^ This started especially from week 4 on.Influence on myonly in a positive way since I was getting along with myself better.No influence onSome comments on the pictures: Yes, this is my picture-underwearI am always wearing exactly the same underwear on my comparison-picturesLighting is very "honest" (katabolic^^) but I simply hate taking pics in the gym... So you just have to believe me about the vascularity and delts popping out, when pumped.The first picture shows me before cycle and me after cycle (direct comparison). The second picture shows my development during the last year - I found a picture from 1 year ago, when I had approx the same weight. Please note that this was my first cycle onand I am already in 4th year of workout.I also know it is hard to say what on those pictures is due to Osta and what is due to weightloss.I would definitely do it again and I will after an 8 weeks break. Actually I can barely waitProbably I will stack with RAD-140 then and run an more frequently updated log here.Unfortunately I mostly really can't find the information from females that I am looking for about SARMs (which is also the reason why I kept updating this thread).Apart from that, I am thrilled (and a little bit afraid^^) to see how my body reacts now coming off osta. At the moment I am planning to keep my calories like they are or keep on reverse dieting (but slower now, escpecially playing around with increasing carbs).I also thought about taking Cardarine in the meantime, but reading about it, the risk does not seem to be worth it to me personally. Although everything I was reading about it from an experience perspective sounded amazing, the fact that it didn't even make it to the stage of studies in humans? No thank you, unfortunately.
