Sup guys, I'm going to apologize right off the bat for this book. But anyway quick background I started lifting around 10 years ago probably a hundred and thirty pounds and I've been full natty all the way up to around 6 weeks ago. I've been training for about 10 years, five of which were pretty solid, very on and off since. I've basically lost all my muscle and started at a little less than 145 lb pretty lean. Which I guess isnt too bad as a new base point and I was certainly more muscular than the average person.
I've been back at it as hard as ever the last six or so months and I'm trying to get back up to the 170 at 10ish % where I was at my peak. I started an osta only cycle and I really love it. I'm running 25mg thru 12, as instructed from here. So here's my issue... I started the cycle fluctuating between around 152 to 155lbs, and I'm currently fluctuating between 156 and 160. I'm still the same about 15% body fat. But here I am 6 weeks later, still fluctuating between 156 and 160. The only problem is, I'm certainly gaining muscle. The fullness the roundness the size it's all coming pretty quick I'm seeing striations even at 15% in my shoulders my chest and so on. And I'm putting on weight on all my lifts... But the scale isn't moving.I'm sort of attributing this to the recomp aspect of the compound, but the problem is is my body fat hasn't really changed. I've had multiple people tell me how big I've gotten even my girlfriend who sees me everyday who really shouldn't be noticing small changes like that is like holy f*** dude what's going on. So basically I'm just a little confused here, I'm wondering if I should keep plugging away, if I should tweak my diet maybe a little bit, if I should add in another supplement not necessarily a drug but a supplement... I want to sort of run the full 12 all the big three by themselves before I start mixing things together. The absolute last choice I want to make would be upping the dosage 5 maybe 10 mg. I definitely rather attack my diet or maybe my training or something to that effect rather than just take more drugs. This is just my first time doing anything like this wondering exactly how to attack this kind of issue, if it is an issue at all.I know I'm not going to put on like 10 lb or anyting but I'm just wondering you know maybe what I should expect going forward and not really moving the dosage. I don't feel as though I hit a plateau but all my lifts went up real quick the first few weeks, a little bit more the last two weeks I definitely feel like things are slowing down a little bit in strength, but I seem to be growing pretty damn good still or recomping I guess I should say since I'm not really gaining any weight. I'm just looking maybe for like an explanation of what's going on, maybe if I did something wrong and you know what I can do about it pretty much. Thanks for any and all help everybody, stay swole y'all
