Increased anaerobic endurance today, everything felt light. Also I noticed much less DOMS, than usual.

Great bench numbers. I'm interested to see what an Osta cycle does for a powerlifter. Subbed.

Cardio:
15min Rowing approx. 3000 meters

Felt pretty good today, just wanted to play around a bit in the gym. I hit up some plyo jumping to help me get my leg strength back on point, everything went well and my knees are still intact. A good day overall. Definitely felt good on the jumping, even the single leg stuff which I have never done before.

Osta is making my joints feel great, I usually get a nagging shoulder or bicept tendon here or there and I can honestly say my whole body feels strong and recovered, defititely a big positive to the heavy lifter.

Pulling didnt go the best today, but strangely that seems to be a bad spot in my deadlift at 4" or so, but its only training. Pause squats are getting better, definitely getting my legs to respond. Explosive power is up, box jumps and plyos are going great.

Muscles seem to be fuller, despite being 7 days carb depleted. No delayed onset soarness from saturdays training, Im feeling healthy in the joints, that alone makes the Osta worth it to me.
