SARMS Question-Ostarine(MK2866) ONLY

[Vikram]

Hi

I am on a clean bulk/recomp(Maintenance + heavy lifting). I am on a 10 month bulking
cycle, and I am looking for lean gains, with minimal sides. I have some questions

1) Can I start the Ostarine now MK2866 or should I wait toward the end of the 10
month

2) What kind of PCT do I need ? 

3) I am shit scared of Gyno, so should I take Xtane(12.5 mg every three days)

4) Should I run 25 per day or 12.5 per day ?

I've seen it recommended end of cycle as part of PCT, but only starting at 25mg, tapering off over 4 weeks.. (no more as it can be suppressive of HPTA)..!!

 

What compounds does your cycle consist of..?

Hi Mate,

 

I think I didn't explain correctly. I am not cycling any compounds right now, and want to start with a Ostarine only   cycle for lean gains

Dont know if youve already gone ahead with this cycle OP, but if you havent...

 

Ostarine is generally most beneficial during a kcal deficit for preserving strength and muscle mass.

 

Id get pre-cycle and post-cycle bloods done so you know for sure where you are at in terms of suppression. Either way, I think its best to err on the side of caution and run a standard 4 week clomi PCT (50-50-25-25). Dont really need anything more than this; natty test boosters and the like wont do much if youre running legit clomi.

 

Gyno issues can be very user-dependant. For most users a low dose of arimi will suffice, but for others they may require something gruntier like exem. Majority of users experience absolutely no gyno-estro issues at all.

 

Dosing ostar...really depends on goals. Cutting, could get away with 5-10mg/d; a really aggressive cut maybe 20-25 mg/d. Some guys space dose too, to avoid headaches....but they are relatively rare.

PCT after Ostarine cycle.....oh lawdy now I've heard it all!

[HarryB]

And make sure and take adequate time off between cycles... like a weekend maybe?

Why would PCT be considered unnecessary after an Ostarine cycle? Ive seen all kinds of blood panels by those who have run it, across all ranges of suppression, and some with ugly liver readings.  I run PCT (and on-cycle support) even after 1,4 andro cycles.

Why even bother with ostarine then 

[OlympusNZ]

It used to be dirt cheap, like you could buy enough to run for a year for less than a hundy NZD.

 

The liver toxicity is typically negiligible, its not a 'common' side like you get with some other orals. I made that comment just to point out that SARMs are sometimes not as mild as sales hype might make us suppose.

 

Again generally speaking, lipid impact with Ostar is also typically negligible. Ive also never noted a significant BP or HR increase whilst using it.

 

I think a big draw to it for alot of guys is that its 'better' than any natty option when cutting or recomping, and they may be reluctant for whatever reason to jump straight into something potentially harsher (with more stigma attached to it).
