I'd have to go back and check some of my older posts but I believe I started to see the first effects in the middle to end of the 2nd week. By this time muscle fullness and vascularity had increased and it was beginning to be apparent that I would have some good results from LGD. By the end of the 3rd week, things were mostly in full swing. The fourth and 5th weeks were awesome. I honestly wish I had just stayed on LGD for a few weeks after that, instead of bridging into other stuff. It's all a part of the experience though.
You read it right! I seem to respond very well to SARMs for whatever reason. I also lifted like a madman on a mission and I don't acccpet not making gains when I put my mind to it.
Just for the record, I was also on 10mg of MK-677 so there might have been an added bit of synergism between the anabolism of LGD and the increased GH output from the MK.
I don't usually suffer much lethargy if any at all when cycling so I don't expect that I would have seen any lethargy, even if I had continued on LGD for a few more weeks. I didn't think I even need the Dermacrine but I had it so I used it anyway (as planned). I'm sure it helped though. Feeling lethary on cycle is incredibly individualistic and I don't think for a second that LGD will be a lethargy-free cycle for most people. I felt great on it though.
My PCT was actually 2 months long but you have to realize that after the LGD/Dermacrine, I bridged into Trest/Pmag for 6 weeks. I actually dropped the Trest after 4 weeks because my hair was taking a beating. At that time I added in some Ostarine to hopefully make up for some of what I lost when dropping Trest. After a week or two I added in some Rad140 and finished the cycle with Rad/Osta. It was a long and interesting cycle. For my PCT I used a combination of Clomid, Nolva, Aromasin and Formestane (at low doses), and DermaStrength. If I were to do a simple 6-8 week cycle of LGD, I would probably do a simple 4-5 week Nolva PCT.
I will test out a longer run of LGD starting around Sept 1st. It willl be 9 weeks of LGD, which will be kicked with Rad140 for 4 weeks and finished with 11-KT for 5 weeks. I will also use 4-Andro and Dermacrine as base products. Although......I am considering scrapping the last 2 products and running a higher TRT dose of Test. We'll see.
