Cycle

The four phases. Train smarter. Stay safer.

YOUR CYCLE IS ONE SIGNAL.

Your status considers the whole athlete — sleep, energy, soreness, hydration, and training. Cycle is one part of the picture, not the whole story.

Menstrual Phase

Day 1–5

Low intensity. Walk, light yoga, gentle mobility. Honor the rest signal — this is not weakness, it's biology.

Follicular Phase

Day 6–13

BUILD PHASE. Estrogen rising = best gains. Crush strength sessions, increase loads, try new PRs.

Ovulation Phase

Day 14–16

PEAK STRENGTH. Estrogen + testosterone peaks. Highest power output of the month. BIG game week.

Luteal Phase

Day 17–28

MAINTAIN MODE. Progesterone rises, energy drops in second half. Train consistent, not harder.
