A nice log with good information. Congrats on the progress. Keep up the great work.
thank you!
Based on this pic, and based on your current progress, you should do awesome at the next one. Your first show pics look better than some people's second and third time!
Aw thanks shortz! I hope I'll be coming in looking like I belong as a figure competitor, and not some skinny newb lol
My first show was a big show. It does make the next one easier.
I'm gonna start with small shows this season, and then end it with a big show at the end of the season. I hope I'll have enough in me to go 4 shows this year haha

4 days post cycle update
I've dropped a lot of the water that Osta was making me hold and I look a lot leaner in my abdomen area. Currently I'm having gastro-intestinal issues but I'm not sure if it's related to the osta? I doubt it though.
Weight was 148.2 this morning, and I ended my cycle at 149.2. I had a big feast friday night so I'm pretty sure my weight jumped up more than that, probably to about 151. I've already started dropping weight with the end of the cycle and cutting diet.
I look a lot less full right now, which sucks because on osta I looked really pumped most of the time.
So a general summary of the whole cycle:
Positives
-Gained 6 lbs in 8 weeks while looking leaner
-Noticeable strength gains
-Increased endurance for all workouts, could be at the gym for 3 hours doing lifting and cardio all in one session
-Fullness of muscles
-Overall feeling of well being
Negatives
-a lot of water retention
-increased aggression towards last few weeks of cycle. Positive for the gym, but I got a little bitchy at random times and impatient when I'm generally a very even, nice person
-increased discharge/odor down there
-decreased libido
-crazy increase in appetite time to time. Not a constant thing.
-no signs of menstrual cycle
-Never really got rid of mild cold symptoms which began since before the osta cycle. Had a phlegmy cough for almost 6 weeks straight, and breathing through the nose has not been 100%.
And just things in general, I noticed my clit was slightly enlarged. I had acne pop up during the beginning of the cycle but not bad at all.
I went from eating 2-2.1 kcal in the beginning, to eating 2400 calories in the end.
Overall, really great research chemical and I enjoyed it a lot. The changes were nice to see. I hope this log was informative for everyone! Let me know if there are any questions
I will be starting a new log for my contest prep with clen & var come mid March so keep an eye out!
