I know it's been a minute that I've posted anything. Not to mention I'm up a pound since February. I wanted to give it a few weeks before I reported "why", because without a dexa scan there's no way to be sure and right now that's not possible or recommended by the CDC. BUT, the verdict is in - and it looks like this girl broke her hypertrophy plateau and put on some muscle. How do I know this? I'm up a pound and waist is still 28 and the hips are still 33. I suspected a couple of weeks ago, because I actually felt stronger and to be honest even looked a little thicker all around (specifically my butt, quads, arms and abs), but it wasn't fat. But, ya know us gals increase muscle mass so incrementally....it's hard to know. I wanted to give it a few more weeks. I have been using the Wim Hof breathing technique lately to help increase oxygen saturation, ESPECIALLY when I'm working out and there are some articles stating that O2 saturation can be integral to pushing through Hypertrophy plateaus in strength training. I have to say in stamina alone - the technique is amazing and has really upped my game with weights as I find I don't have to split the sets when I use it. But, a month later I'm a pound up, the inches, are the same, and mama says I look leaner. 3 cheers to body recomp!!! I hope everyone is finding some happiness and joy in these crazy times - stay strong and healthy out there and have a good week! I'll try to write a little bit more later.

Thank you, Tom - There's definitely a lot of incentive these days to show up and do the work! Thank you, dp - I know things are tough right now, but hang in there gal. This to will pass. Thank you, blondie - you're looking perty darn good yourself! And, Ireland - I have to say in the month I've been doing Wim Hof's breathing techniques including the cold water emersion (i.e. cold showers), I've noted many benefits and the nice thing is, they're pretty immediate. Thank you HCB! And, thank you Moopie - you look beautiful and strong, as always :-) Thank you, D - increasing the muscle mass is definitely a labor of love but so worth the results and benefits on so many levels. I'm glad I've stuck with it! And, thank you Wholefoodnut- I'm still in shock I have these arms! LOL. Thank you Chris - I've been wanting a Dexa Scan for months now. I even know where it's located and I'm kicking myself I didn't take advantage sooner. My insurance probably would have covered it. But, we'll have to wait until this passes to truly see the gains. I will definitely post the results when that day comes for sure :-)

The hard work is definitely paying dividends. Good for you! Nothing like feeling like a strong, lean and high functioning machine! Machine sounds so utilitarian but I mean it as your body 'using power to apply forces and control movement to perform intended actions.' You have increased your body's power and are reaping the rewards.
