Performance & Training

Optimal Window: Strength & Power

Intensity Strategy

Focus on high-intensity intervals and heavy lifting. Your body is primed for glycogen utilization and muscle protein synthesis.

Recovery Load

Moderate recovery needed. Estrogen is rising, supporting muscle tissue repair between sessions.

Endurance Baseline78%
Injury Risk ProfileLow

Nutrition & Metabolic Fueling

Macronutrient Focus

Higher carbohydrate tolerance. Prioritize complex grains pre-workout. Protein target: 1.6–2.0 g/kg.

Hydration Status

Increase electrolyte intake. Plasma volume is shifting as phase progresses. Target 3L+ daily.

Metabolic Rate

Lower baseline temperature. Caloric expenditure is currently moderate — ideal for progressive overload.

Recommended meal

Recommended: Quinoa & Roasted Root Bowl

Physiological Roadmap

Days 1–5

Menstrual

Low hormone levels. High inflammation potential. Focus on mobility and active recovery.

Days 6–13Current

Follicular

Rising estrogen levels. Increased muscle building potential and insulin sensitivity.

Day 14

Ovulatory

Peak estrogen. Maximum strength window but higher risk of ligament laxity.

Days 15–28

Luteal

Progesterone rises. Metabolic rate increases. Focus on steady-state endurance.
