I may be posting way late and this may have been covered already, but if you're dead set on using something go with the osta. I have to imo and experience osta can be used as a substance similar to test, and I believe it attached to the same or similar receptors but you won't get the HPTA down regulation depending on dose
That being said, the two compounds you have listed are not in the same ballpark let alone the same planet, and osta is great I find it to be a good addition, I great to use as part of a post cycle or a standalone, and it will provide some decent muscle gain and it's not to hard on the body at all
I've personally ran it at 25mg a day up to 50mg a day which there is no reason you would need to go that high, and I had a lot of it when it was becoming popular so I wanted to see what it could do and let's just say I was impressed.
Now for SD, AND and again sorry if this is repeat info but I didn't have time to read the entire thread just the initial post. I have to SD is not a PH, it is and always has been an anabolic steroid, and somehow when the rest of the PED'S were added to the list of banned substances, and SD was overlooked and some very brilliant marketing put it on shelves as a PH, and but it's a steroid in every sense, but it's actually the oral formula of the well know masteron, except mast is know to be a very mild steroid, and where SD is what I would even consider hardcore and my opinion on AAS is that they aren't drugs and shouldn't be labeled as such, I of course long term abuse and/or high dosing can cause high BP, and you can count on all of them ruining your lipid profile, even TRT, but with SD it's something used 2 weeks on and 2 off due to its high toxicity, and and generally the only time guys are using it is pre comp, and it will provide very dry gains, and no estro conversion, and strength, I rank it close to halo, real halo, and but mainly because of the toxicity, and but it can and does provide some comparable lean gains,
That said, I stay far away from it, this is a HORMONE, IMO, for elite athletes, and and pre comp only, and other than that it's not worth the negative impact it can have when you can simply run other compounds for a longer duration, and more importantly eat and train properly and achieve the same gains that are more likely to last without destroying your body.
I'm not trying to use scare tactics and act like a cycle of it is going to leave a person messed up, and but if trying to decide between ostarine and sdrol, and Id tend to say stick to protein and amino acids, and along with food and training
Ostarine imo is not very harsh and I think is a good starting point, I I've even used it to replace an oral and like I said I love e to use it in pct with torem, aromisin, and igf
The only other thing I can think of that may be of some benefit and safe is mk, and which if I'm remembering right is an oral SARM that increases natural gh production and I personally think an increase in gh is a great thing, but while on the topic of sarms, gw has been shown to help increase metabolism and endurance while increasing hdl, and but it also seems to raise body temp which can be rough in the summer months, but you only need a very small dose of it, and but it depends on your goals and your experience, most guys are looking for an edge and I get that, I there are so many products out there and the majority of the guys with any muscle in the gym are chemically enhanced, but the worst looking guys in my gym are always on all kinds of gear, I guess they think more is better, but and that mentality has got them in a position that they don't maintain any size without being on something and it seems to be coming more and more common with the younger kids, and nothing against that group, and it's just the dumb ones always make a bad name for any group
I would honestly suggest really doing some research, and I know there is a large group of guys here with a ton of experience and probably have forgotten more than most will ever know so take advantage of that, I really don't see a problem with osta as a starting point, I or the only thing you ever use,it is good, but definitely don't just jump into things and be very very careful taking the advice of guys in the gym. I have to have a buddy who looks great, but has been training about 17 years now and he is in very poor health, and cardiac issues, and failing kidneys, and looks no better on gear but stays on something all the time and says his health isn't a result of the gear which may be true but it's not making it any better and ppl take his advice like it's the gospel because of his outward appearance but he's ignorant and suggest the use of AAS such as tren and sdrol to high school kids, and every person I've seen follow what he recommends looks like ****, but the ppl who follows the free diets he will write up for them any time because he loves doing that end up looking great without gear just rather right foods at the right times and lots of hard work
So just be careful in your choices, and I don't think osta is a bad starting point but I also know nothing about you and I personally don't see a point in a person touching anything besides some protein and amino until they get at least 4 years under their belt of consistent training and finding out what makes their body grow, if you don't have that figured out all the PED'S in the world aren't going to make you look how you really want, and yea you may add some size but us it going to be the kind you want and sorry but if your hormones are so unbalanced that you have body acne, outside of genetic conditions what's the point, I I'm not in a contest to see who can look the best on the beach but just saying bacne isn't attractive and that's what your asking for if your hormones are out of control leading to a overload of sebaceous production, which some of it then becomes hygiene since needs change, but figure out how to get your body to bulk, and cut for a lack of better terms before adding hormones to do the same thing, but you don't want to be trying to figure it out once you are on them
Best of luck and I hope u don't think I'm bashing you, at least you are man enough to ask the question, even though it wouldn't be on my top 10 of best questions to ask or comparisons to make lol but we all learn somehow
Forget the sdrol idea though but if you are ready and do go with osta, and makes some post on how things are going for you and ask any questions you have outside of the intense research you are going to fist do, but and take advantage of the ppl here who will have the advice you need, and and sorry if you can't read half of this my auto correct makes me appear special most all the time and I type to much to feel like reading the post myself
