so i decided to try Osta Sarm

[UnrealMachine]

so i decided to try Ostarine MK-2866

Thought I'd share my experience

I am currently 7 weeks post-cycle so I have been cutting naturally and decided to add a SARM in to aid in my natty cut. I plan to continue the sarm for at least 6 weeks (and then I will immediately start my next cycle in January).

decided to frontload because of 24h half life
day 1: 50mg, noticed nothing
day 2: 25mg, noticed nothing
day 3: 12.5mg, pumps felt a little different
day 4: 12.5mg, pumps felt slightly better than usual, increased sweating?
day 5: 12.5mg, pumps, muscular hardness, increased sweating all apparent

Don't exactly look more full yet but muscles feel harder/full/pumped moreso now than a few days ago.

Plan on cutting to 6% bodyfat. I'll keep you guys updated.

interesting so far.

 

[2k1s]

you might be the first person on here to use this that knows what they doing... interesting.

 

[MidwestBeast]

Definitely in to see how this treats you, Unreal.

 

[BrockR]

Got my eye on this one.

I've been thinking about running Osta at some point down the road.

 

[ZamaMan]

Awesome will follow! And man your trying to get ripped huh. That's gonna look sick.

 

[UnrealMachine]

Yes trying to get ripped. 209 pounds and bodyfat is... 8% and dropping i'd guess.

My buddy started this the same day as me and he's cutting with me (he's my gym partner). He is similar to me but a bit lighter, 6'1 193 right now maybe 11% but pretty strong, he keeps up with me on many lifts and even pushes me on a few. I want to get him to start posting but I'll try to include his updates as well.
He is a hyper-responder to every supplement he's tried and also halodrol (his only cycle was 1 bottle of halodrol which worked well for him) so he started noticing the SARM before me even though I frontloaded it harder and he is noticing the pumps, hardness, sweating and thirst.

The sweating was no joke, I was dropping a sweat droplet every couple seconds at the end of my cardio.

 

[OnTheRoadTo]

Very nice man, osta seems like it could be the ****. I'll be watchin!

 

[tommygunzz]

Are you using ostarine? What's osta sarm?

 

[UnrealMachine]

Osta, ostarine, SARM S-1, MK2866, whatever you want to call it

I call is Osta Sarm because people generally figure out that it's a sarm and it's the osta one and not S4

Got this one because the consensus seems to be that it's better than S4. And no vision problems.

Day 6 today I'll update later.

 

[tommygunzz]

Great to know. I've done sarms s4 (andarine) and was pleased with the results.

 

[biggfly]

I was going to ask why you chose Osta over S4, but i read you heard it worked better. I think I read where Russian said he used both, and found the Osta to be a bit more anabolic, it put on a little more mass than the S4, he said the S4 had a sort of Anavar effect, really shed the body fat and shredded him up a little more. I imagine a stack of the 2 would work, but then again it may be seeing the world in a yellow tint with them both combined. Plus, price wise, thats a lot of cabbage to run the 2 together. I am torn between the Osta and the S4 personally, so I will be following along here.

 

[xFRACTION]

Sick brother! you gonna show us the progress when you finish?

 

[tommygunzz]

I believe ostarine to be the better of the two sarms.

 

[biggfly]

^^ based on what?? what you have heard, experienced first hand?? It may simply depend on what you are personally looking for...S4=androgenic Osta=anabolic....S4 shreds, leans, and hardens like androgens do...Osta is a bit more anabolic, little more lean mass, some lethargy weeks in...I believe preference may be more or less what decides which is better.

 

[carpee]

in!

Ostarine is not toxic(so far) it isnt suppressive(as you stated) AND it does shred you AND build mass


its superior to s4 in that department


Unreal im following I used ostarine and it recomped me wonderfully I loved it looks like it is kicking in for you

 

[Movin_weight]

I'll be following as well, lookin to possibly add this to PCT or shortly there after and shred for spring

 

[thegodfather]

Going to use it in my PCT in January. In for the log.

I too will be following this

 

[UnrealMachine]

I scoured the internet reading as much info as I could dig up and of the people that have tried both S4 and S1, S1 is almost always preferred. Plus there isn't the vision sides. And it's more powerful... S4 you have guys doing 75-100mg a day, 50mg is like the MINIMUM. Ostarine there's people making the same kind of gains on 8-15mg a day. I think 12.5 is plenty.

Day 6: 12.5mg, just like day 5, noticing muscular hardness and more of a pumped feeling, although it's still pretty mild right now, it's definitely the feeling I get from all steroids. Haven't noticed a big change in my workout endurance or my strength but I continue to sweat profusely.

Probably pictures towards the end

 

[BrockR]

I was planning on running my first PH (epi or halovar) this Spring, but now I'm starting to consider osta instead.

 

[Dr.Lang]

I think you will be pleased with the results.

Thanks for running a log with your results.

 

[panther77]

Subbed for this, liked s4 and this looks like a very interesting compound

 

[Whacked]

I have read (brotellignce only from another board) that S1 causes double vision while S4 causes the yellow tinting of vision and night blindness.

 

[biggfly]

I may be mistaken, but I thought I read Osta(mk-2866) is NOT the same as S1...I believe S1 is the oldest of the sarms, and not very effective for a bodybuilder type, and that the newest of the sarms is Osta(mk-2866), which happens to be very effective. Anyone?? I will try to find where I read it and cite it..

 

[BrockR]

^^^ I think I read that before as well, but I can't seem to find that article anymore

 

[panther77]

he is correct, osta is not the same as s-1

 

[UnrealMachine]

There's some confusion on the name... But yes I'm using Ostarine MK2866

day 6: 12.5mg, same as day 5 really. Level of muscular hardness has not increased, still mild but noticable. Probably shouldn't expect too much because i'm cutting HARD right now and not getting very many carbs in. Probably about 130g of carbs a day, almost entirely pre and post-WO. My morning workout is immense so i have quite a few carbs pre and post but next 4 meals my only carbs are from veggies.

my friend reports that the increased sweating is really noticable. He also told me that he's dosing more like 15mg a day.

**BTW totally unrelated but my position as a rep for NTBM has enabled me to host a contest where the winner gets 50$ in free supps. I made a contest for the best leg picture. So if you got good legs and want to win some free supps, take a look

[Whacked]

Thank you for the much needed clarification!!!

UnrealMachine: Even though the results arent necessarily mind-blowing, they still seem to be providing a boost/hardness virtually side-free (certainly liver friendly. Couple this with the fact that this can be used as a bridge/OFF time with little to zero impact on HPTA makes this an appealing substance.

Please keep us posted

Ya Unreal I knew what you were running and meant, and you see Osta called S1 all the time, just wanted to clarify for peeps that may be confused upon their research(if they do any before running).

 

[UnrealMachine]

Whoa whoa, no injecting here lol, it is orally bioavailable yes.

No source discussion allowed here! FWIW I haven't heard of any "bunk" sources yet.

And I kinda got confused on which day I am on, turns out i am on day 9 today
day 9: 12.5mg, same as the last few days, mostly notice muscular hardness but still mild. I am getting very lean from my training and my vascularity is consequently improving so it's hard to say how much vascularity might be attributed to the ostarine.
IDK how much the sarm is helping but regardless, I am looking solid as hell. I saw myself with some overhead lighting... Think i'm getting under 8% bodyfat now.

Thats sick man. Its crazy how seeing yourself in different lighting really changes things. unfortunately bar lighting seems to also skew perspective...

 

[Dr.Lang]

I am interested in running Ostarine as well. Is it orally bioavailable or would I be having to inject?

Also, which dealer did you use? I am alittle lost as to who is reputable and what may be bunk.

Good luck with your cycle

Use the board sponsor Sarms Search. They really have a great product.

 

[BarbellBeast]

Good stuff Unreal.

Gonna hit 6% soon enough!

Hit up msn foo!

 

[MrBigPR]

Use the board sponsor Sarms Search. They really have a great product.

lulz...they are not a board sponsor

plus 149.99....eh pass

 

[UnrealMachine]

lulz...they are not a board sponsor

They are often visible at the bottom of the forum layout

So whats the general consensous regarding sides with SARMs in general and ostarine in specific?

My understanding is that while endocrine shut down has not been observed thus far, the other androgenic sides have are still a threat, like acne and male pattern baldness..but hey zits go away and who needs hair anyway?

Any testicular shrinkage? What about mental effects? Do you feel charged/amped up/tuned in/turned on? Aggression and such?

I only get acne from test not from any other steroid I've used. Not prone to MPB... I do not get mental effects from any steroids either. Oh i have felt aggressive from time to time but it correlates more to killing **** in the gym than whichever steroids I'm running and even training natty I'm still killing **** and loving it.

Anyway since you're looking for side effects i've noticed from Osta I'll tell you that increased sweating is the only thing I noticed. I felt like I had a little more thirst at first but don't notice it so much anymore.
0 other side effects.

Day 10: 12.5mg, another good pump in the gym today, arms looked very full, workout went very well. Was able to push the same weight as last week even though I focused on strict form and slow controlled reps.

 

[Dr.Lang]

They are a board sponsor in fact. Good company, I have ordered on several occasions.

 

[cpekz]

Just ordered some of this stuff to use to kick off my cut before starting my Epi/Katana cycle in a few months. I'm really excited to try this out! I'll be sure to post results. Sounds like this stuff is great to use between cycles which is awesome.

 

[Rodja]

They're not a board sponsor. Those are Google ads and not sponsor ads. It wouldn't make sense to not allow sourcing of SERMS/research chems, but have a sponsor selling them.

 

[tommygunzz]

Sarms search is a board sponsor just like cem products. They are not google ads. Google ads do not have customized banners.

 

[Rodja]

Really? Then where is their sub-section in the board sponsor area?

 

[UnrealMachine]

lol all this talk of Sarm Search and i didn't even use them
Anyway,

day 10: 12.5mg, weight somehow went up a pound today despite the calorie deficit, probably just some random fluctuation, but the same thing happened to my buddy. We are trying to cut but it looks more like we are recomping. IDK, I will see what's up in the next few days. Still feeling solid but nothing new to report.

 

[BarbellBeast]

Nice.

Keepin' it Unreal

 

[junkyarddogzz]

Sarms Search is a board sponsor and where the first company to offer osta and s4 and to have a COA.

 

[hardknock]

Sarms Search is a board sponsor and where the first company to offer osta and s4 and to have a COA.

Where are you seeing this sarm search, not talking about that at the bottom of the page correct? If so, that is Google driven. I have not seen anything else, but I have yet to look either...


I am watching this log closely and gathering info on these Sarms. Inquiring minds want to know more.

 

[2k1s]

I've never gotten the sarm search banner. So is GNC nox edge a board sponsor too now? please.

mk 2866 looks like some good stuff :thumbsup:

 

[Dragon13]

Late but subbed, thanks for the link Unreal. Watching.

 

[2k1s]

btw what does your diet look like? Just a standard cut?

 

[UnrealMachine]

diet is pretty standard cutting for me.
Meal 1 (high carbs, low fat, moderate protein)
meal 2 (snack with carbs & protein)
workout
meal 3 (high protein, low fat, moderate carbs)
meal 4/5 often the same, high protein, low-moderate fat, only carbs from veggies
meal 6 high protein, very low carbs, low-moderate fat

my diet changes around a lot. Meal 1 has usually been oatmeal with a scoop of protein and some berries. 1 hr pre-WO i have a protein bar. 30 minutes pre-WO i have pre-WO drink. Lift high intensity for approximately 70 minutes. Then 20 minutes of cardio while I sip glutamine. Get home and have protein shake with something on the side for some extra protein and carbs. Next two meals are usually meat/veggies but sometimes one of them is just more protein powder with PB. Then i do 40 minutes evening cardio. My last meal is cottage cheese with 1 scoop of protein powder.
