Hey guys, so I just finished up an Ostarine cycle of 8 weeks and am staring PCT now, will update in about a month on that. But for now I wanted to share my experience. I unfortunately got a horrible throat infection which caused me to cough/choke myself silly causing a sports hernia (second one) and I got surgery for the first. This has rubbed me wrong but I cannot give up on achieving my dream body.

I had previously cut to 13% from 15.4% in the first 4 weeks. I was the thinnest I had been, I loved it. My lifts all went up by about 5lb weekly, in every category. Shoulder press was very obvious. Strength was also noticed, since starting PCT in a sharp decline. Shoulders also feel like garbage, particularly the non dominant arm, geez this is painful lol. So, the JOING RELIEF from this stuff is just damn amazing. It'S REAL and worth running. The 4 weeks I was sick, I worked out maybe twice a week and kept all the strength, no lifts went down. I found that incredible.

My question was regarding DECA actually and just my next cycle in general. I heard DECA can easily provide similar relief benefits and I need this, I just love it so much, but Ostarine itself I never wanted to use long term in the aspect of years of life. Since Deca is technically a tested compound. But the question being would you run DECA over ostarine, and the gains are just plain better right? Deca Dick is a myth?

I just want to know what to do my next cycle anyway in January (about). I was thinking about 250mg of Test C, I want to blow up. I actually could use the added benefit of high test mentally also, I have a fairly strong bias towards "NOT" getting out of my comfort zone. I'm ambitious mentally but action gets me scared. But at 25 going on 26, I NEED to be doing more anyway. So any PM or shout out on your mental state while "on" is appreciated. I'm usually always taking something myself anyway, KB by OL for the win there. Thanks guys, cheers!

EDIT: This is my second cycle

If you're looking for therapeutic healing of your joints and ligaments, I would definitely recommend Mk677

Would also help you keep/maintain as much gains as possible in between runs

Already on it on 12.5mg a day ;) Probably won't quit it either until the next cycle. I already notice a huge change in complexion in a week. Wondering if I need to bump it to 25mg though. The HGH output is stagnant/minor improvement over 10mg.

how much have your lifts gone down in PCT? that's kinda rare for a compound as mild in gains as Ostarine....

"deca dick" is not a myth. some guys have issues with ED for months after deca, but most of them did also not run a dopamine agonist on cycle (which controls prolactin), and it;s also important to use HCG and have a well planned PCT.

The strength was mainly with pushups where I noticed it. I'm getting in about half the pushups I was getting while on. The weight is still the same in all lifts, but instead of a 12-15 rep range, I'm hitting about 6-7. I respond very good to that compound, and the joint support from it is night and day. I feel mild gains is subjective. I didn't put on 25LB but I did lose BF while gaining about 3LB. In 6 (good weeks) That's pretty cool! Libido never took a hit, but suppression does hit after the 4th week for sure.

Sex drive I never want to lose lol. BUT It seems to be the second compound recommended to me besides a 250mg test starting point.

for a first cycle, I would never recommend Deca. deca's great for a lot of things, but you need to manage the sides quite a bit, while testosterone is relatively simply to manage.

also, get bloodwork ahead of time to get your baseline.

most of us recommend a first cycle as test E/cyp for 500 mg.wk for 8-12 weeks. simple, basic but effective.

I feel most comfortable with this. Although was considering 250mg? And then perhaps bumping it up mid cycle or 4 weeks in. Ill be going with Cyp, Aromasin isn't an issue as well as access to SERMS. Rich piana does say you'll go into superman mode lol, I'd imagine with that much test, it's true. My guy also said you may want to stay "on" forever as a result. Although I'm not sure how overhyped this is?

well, 250 mg will put you over the normal range, but it might not be much higher. depends on the person... you can certainly run that dose, but the size gains will not be anywhere near as significant as with 500 mg. strength and endurance gains will be solid, though.

I read the study mate, but couldn't find the info on the recovery period, if anything was taken at all? The results look promising then. I think 500mg is looking better, as not to waste my time lol.

A proper cycle support (looking at you K1ngs Guard) would mitigate acne I am assuming.

controlling E2 on cycle is actually very important for acne issues...

As far as that study, I don't think they documented the recovery. Here's some further reading for that:

I like that I'm getting real information here. Really the only think keeping me from clomid is all the reports of ocular side effects. I wouldn't cope very well if I was an unlucky one. Although iv'e also been advised that 12.5mg of clomid will suffice as well. So Aromasin is effective at increasing test, but wouldn't you effectively be crashing your e2?

well, if you take too much.

in those studies, those would be the maximum recommendations.... most guys use much lower doses of AIs, at least to start the cycle. easier to start low and taper up then crash E2, tried to let it recover and then avoid a rebound...

Well, with that said, Figured I'd ask about the ocular side effects of clomid, and wether or not anybody has experienced any of the floaters that you can read about? I have Nolva on hand, but clomid seems to just work better.

I've never had those issues, but I have heard of other guys having that problem. Not sure if it's dose related or not, again...

If you use clomid at 25 mg/day and you start having those sides, then I'd just switch to Nolva at 20 mg/day and finish PCT out with that.
