I’ve been doing small arm exercises with my curl bar like curls, skull crushers, bent over rows, military press, etc. just to kinda keep myself in the groove so to speak but only for about 15 minutes or less.
Some have said that Nolva can reduce IGF-1 levels in the body so it’s counterproductive to use it the last week of your cycle but others tell me it takes a week to kick in so I should take it that last week so it’s built up and in full swing when I stop my Ostarine so I figured I’d get some input on it. I was just going to take it on my last day of my cycle and keep it moving from there for 4 weeks. I’ve had really awesome results from the Ostarine and much more dramatic than what I thought it would be. I started a rather hard bulk at 165lbs at 12.5% bf and am now at 183lbs 13.5% bf. All my lifts went up rather dramatically.
Bench 165 max to 235lbs max
Deadlift was 275, now 315lbs
Squat was 135, now 200lbs
Yes, Nolva has been known to lower IGF-1 levels but a week either way is not going to make or break anything. You can start it whenever you like but the compound will not kick-in quicker by starting it while still on cycle. The Nolva will work just fine when you start it the day after your cycle. Personally, I'd prefer to have 4 weeks of Test boosting after a cycle, as opposed to only 3.
I'm not sure of your dosing or your cycle duration but SARMs are
usually easier to recover from than stronger anabolics. Your LH/FSH may very well still be "in range" and that
should hopefully make for a faster return to baseline T levels.
While it doesn't take a week for Nolva to begin having an effect, it can take a few days to a week for it's effects to start being
noticed, depending on dosing and what you are trying to "treat". Stable blood-plasma levels will be reached very quickly.
How long was the cycle and what was your dosing?
