    Received a blood pressure monitor and tried.
    14/9. A bit too high!

    However I don't have headaches since monday. Better!

    Week 2/8

    Data this morning
    Weight : 205lbs (-2.5lbs from start, +1.1lbs from last monday)
    Waist : 35.1' (-0.6' from start, -0'2 from last monday)
    Estimated BF% : 15.1% (-0.9% from start)

    Effects
    Negative sides : slight headaches but less that the previous week.
    Positive effects : best recup and cardio more efficient.

    Comments
    Few effects for the moment. I feel that I'm better during cardio than previous weeks. I will see in the next weeks.
    No more strength but I keep all perfs I reached during cycle.
    Big good point : my waist has shrunk and my weight upped ! A very good recomp. That's what I exepct from Osta and this is what Osta gives me today :-) I hope it will go on with this direction

    Just a comment about my blood pressure. I bought a blood pressure monitor (thanks for the idea markam ) and my first data was 14/10 (too high according to the doc). I immediately stopped cafeine (I was taking 200mg on the morning, 200mg at lunch and 200 to 400mg pre-workout). Now, my blood pressure is about 13/8 (it's better but I'm usually with 12/8).
    It may comes (maybe) from animal fats (carb back loading diet). I will see in the next weeks

    Diet
    Carb Back Loading : 50%/50% prots/fats on non workout days, 50/50 prots/fats until the end of workout, and then slam the carbs after

    On workout days (monday, wednesday, friday and sunday)

    Proteins : 182g / 0.9g/lbs
    Carbs : 212g / 1g/lbs
    Fats : 93g / 0.5g/lbs
    Total kCal : 2410kCal (~ maintenance)

    On non workout days (tuesday, thursday and saturday)

    Proteins : 180/ 0.9g/lbs
    Carbs : 8g / 0g/lbs
    Fats : 180g / 0.9g/lbs
    Total kCal : 2410kCal (~ maintenance)

    What's planned for the next week
    No changes planned. I always keep carbs after workout

    You do need to be consistant with a blood pressure monitor, i.e. use it at the same time of day, probably best not straight after exercising or eating.

    Someone here mentioned hibicus tea is very good at lowering blood pressure. Perhaps you could try it and see if it makes a difference. Hibicus tea is one of the very few herbal teas that actually tastes good, (well to me, anyway).

    Is that the best time? Isn't the blood a little thick first thing in the morning? May not matter much if you are consistent with the timing, as long as you are within "normal" parameters, but might give you a higher than daily average reading? I take mine everyday 15 minutes before retiring, after having spent at least 30 minutes in quiet time - no tv or other noisy distractions, low light, etc. Usually works pretty good, unless she who must be obeyed has signaled that I'm getting lucky later.

    Week 3/8

    Data this morning
    Weight : 204.4lbs (-3.1lbs from start, -0.6lbs from last monday)
    Waist : 34.9' (-0.8' from start, -0'2 from last monday)
    Estimated BF% : 14.7% (-1.3% from start)

    Effects
    Negative sides : very slight headaches. just on few days
    Positive effects : best recup and cardio more efficient.

    Comments
    I keep my last feelings. Very good recomp effects.
    I don't know if it comes from Osta or diet. I would say that it comes from the two together !

    I think I could increase fat loss if I didn't eat few garbage foods but for the moment it's too good to eat that.
    Carbs come from bread in majority, it remains 50-80g of carbs from turnovers, doughnuts or bun.

    Too hard to do legs workout on sunday. Karate is killing my legs and I don't want to add more stress on legs! If osta gives me more effect, I will do this workout. For the moment I don't want.

    No more strength as usual in workouts.

    The only effect I see with Osta is body recomp (but it's a real good thing for me

    Diet
    Carb Back Loading : 50%/50% prots/fats on non workout days, 50/50 prots/fats until the end of workout, and then slam the carbs after

    On workout days (monday, wednesday, friday and sunday)

    Proteins : 182g / 0.9g/lbs
    Carbs : 212g / 1g/lbs (up to 250g)
    Fats : 93g / 0.5g/lbs
    Total kCal : 2410kCal (~ maintenance)

    On non workout days (tuesday, thursday and saturday)

    Osta kick is not still here.... Strength is always increasing but just normally, as usual without any gears.
    Good point : waist is decreasing, but body weight downed this week.
