first SARM cycle, few questions

[mdizzle109]

Hey all, new to the forum so here's my stats:

Age: 34
Height: 5'7"
Weight: 195
Body fat %: ~15%
Years of training: 10+
Complete cycle history: an assortment of PHs over the years (Hdrol, Epi, etc), recently
did a few cycles of Trestoderm solo
PCT for each cycle: Nolva + OTC PCT support
Goals: build strength/lean muscle, minimize fat gain
Supplements: Creatine, Glutamine, BCAAs
High protein/low carb diet, no significant injuries

So for my first SARM cycle I was planning on doing a 12-week run of Ostarine 25mg/day

Just a few quick questions/clarifications:

1. Do I need a cycle cupport during cycle? Assuming no due to the minimal suppression
but wanted to check

2. For PCT I see from reading on here the suggestion is clomid and cardarine, would I
be OK with Nolva and OTC PCT support? just asking as I already have some on hand

3. What is the protocol for time between cycle, I know general rule of thumb is time
taken off = time on cycle+PCT, is it the same for SARMS? I saw somewhere someone saying
they did 4 weeks on 1 week off continously, is something like that possible?

Thanks

if you are running sarms only, you only need 3-4 weeks off in between cycles...

1-12 mk2866 25 mg per day, dosed once a day in the a.m.
9-12 POST CT https://www.dganutrition.com/pct/post-ct


Mini pct 13-16




clomid 50/25/25/25

Thanks, am I OK subbing Nolva for Clomid?

You can run nolva instead if you prefer, but Clomid is usually a better choice for recovery

and make sure you get your sarms from a legit place.

Yes bro. Cycle supports are fine to use anytime for general health, but not required with sarms

hey all, so i've been on my ostarine cycle about two weeks and i've been on 25mg/day. the first 4-5 days i definitely felt "on" and felt like superman in the gym. the last week or so that feeling kinda went away and my workouts kinda feel normal. i've been doing kind of recomp and eating at or near maintenance and i've actually lost about 4lbs. strength has remained relatively the same and still getting pretty good pumps in the gym.

curious if it would benefit me to increase the dosage at all?

my goal is to build lean muscle/lose fat. i'd like to also increase my strength but for now just increasing lean mass is the #1 goal. i'm thinking next time i probably need to do a stack but figured for my first SARM cycle i would just do the ostarine solo to see how it goes

looking for thoughts on how i should proceed here, increase dosage? add another SARM to the mix?
