About to enter the anabolic world for the first time

Hey guys,

I'm 25 years old, 5'8" 175 pounds and have been lifting for over 5 years now. I reached a plateau and have been thinking about dipping my toes in trying Ostarine by Olympus Labs.


My current plan was to take 15mg a day for weeks, but if you experienced veterans recommend different dosage then feel free to let me know! I plan on doing this for 6 weeks (Once again, if the duration/dosage is not optimal then let me know).

For PCT, I plan on running DAA, I3C (Currently taking this supplement), and Erase Pro. If you want to add, remove, or change my PCT then post away!
 
"For weeks"

How long?

Osta will likely underwhelm you
 
If you mean 15mg for 4 weeks not worth the suppression IMO.

I meant for four weeks. What would you recommend?

From what I've seen here that would yield full suppression and little results.

ARA 50 days might even beat it.

Either higher dose 6 weeks, or something different
 
yes arachidonic acid, and ostarine just won't really blow you away, if you hit a plateau go with some ara, or (-)epi or both, no need to mess with stuff that will completely shut you down yet, especially if you haven't explored these options yet.

Awesome! I did try ARA in the past (Animal Test) and I felt it did work, although I'm not sure if it was Yohimbe Bark Extract stimulating me to be amped up. I have also been looking at (-)epi Olympus Labs Ep1c supplments also. I'll def try and stack these two together instead of going osta. Thanks for your help!
 
No problem, try to grab some xgels from our sponsor Nutraplanet great ara supplement
 
There is no need to run Osta higher than 20 mg. I noticed no difference whatsoever between 20 and 25mg. A cycle of 6-8 weeks is a nice start. There are some things to consider though when taking ostarine...

Libido - It can hurt your libido and quite noticably too. This is user dependent though. Have something like Dermacrine or Endosurge turbo on hand just incase.

Estrogen - It does raise estrogen and for some people it will cause itchy burning nipples and possibly gyno. This isn't usually a big concern but you should still be prepared nonetheless. I'd have an AI like exemestane on hand. Or, atleast formestane (if you can still find some).

Cycle support - Plenty of people don't bother with this while running Ostarine; I believe it is cheap insurance and a worthwhile investment. Products like LGI Damage Control and OL Ar1macare Pro work great with Osta. They also have Arimistane in it which acts as a mild AI (for some people). At the very least you should take something to support positive blood pressure and lipid values.

PCT - If you are going to supress you natural hormones for a couple of months, you should seriously consider the light use of a SERM to quickly bring your LH and Test levels back u to speed. Some people choose to go without it for Ostarine cycles.


As you can see, there are many things to consider once you start ingesting hormone-altering chemical substances into your body. There are also cost considerations when you start to add all of the proper supports. If you are not prepared to take on all of this, go with the suggestions from the other members and run some natural boosters like ARA / Laxogenin / Epicat / etc.
 
Wow. I didn't see any of the last few reponses when I started typing!

Seems you've made up your mind and I type too slow when I have other pages open and am typing at my leisure...

Carry on

=)

I agree with all the above advice in here. Experiment with the natty stuff a little before using suppressive chemicals. That being said, when the time comes, Ostarine is a decent compound if used at the proper dosages with the right goals. It is not a giant strength boosting compound. It is best suited for recompositioning effects not bulking or strength.
 
I ran osta at 20 mgs for 4 weeks and got suppressed deff wasn't worth it imo , have me some good strength increases but at the time We were all under the impression 4 week cycles didn't need a pct or needed maybe an Otc pct. If you wanna run something good do osta or Lgd for 8 weeks atleast and get a serm . Sarms shine in the fact that they are site specific and don't effect prostate and liver but still should be treated like prohormones imo because they will supress you , LGD is strong and will shut you down but LGD will yield more results when it comes to strength and lbm gains . Do your research and then make a decision , I even researched osta for several months awhile ago and still think I could of studied more .

Thank you for the information guys, it really opened my eyes. I will def experiment with the natty stuff for now.
 
Check out OL epic unleashed, newest most effective epicatechin product out. OL epic and xgels would make a mean stack!

A lot of good info has already been thrown around in here, so I'll keep this short. But agreed that most will run osta at 20-25 mgs for at least 6 weeks, if you go that route.

There are some good Q&A threads hanging around in our subforum if you wish to ask questions.

Ep1c Unleashed is a great natty option good on either a bulk or cut, and will not require any of the considerations that osta comes with.
 
I've run multiple PH and AAS cycles and my Ostar1ne / Ep1c cycle to this date is in my top 2 cycles ever. In terms of feeling when on and results. You maximize your cycle, not the pill. Osta at 20-25 for 7-8 weeks is great.

Want to see a succesful Osta cycle, look at my before and afters:

I might be a special duck lol ran osta several times and never got shutdown, not even the slightest that effected me.
 
I still don't "feel" osta, if you told me I've just been on point with my training and Nutrition, I'd believe you. Low sides, low gains. Unfortunately that tends to be how it goes with anabolics. That goes for the natty products too, in a sense, I'm going to be a heathen though and say I've never used ARA, epi, or laxo. I do like PA though, not mind blowing but I am noticeably hungrier. I feel laxo, like ecdy, is mostly just placebo, I hear it compared to var and it immediately sounds like the next gimmick sterol.
