First cycle Osta

Hi guys,

I'm 36 yo 6'2 - 210 pounds at 13%BF at the moment. With about 10 years of active strength and conditioning training in various sports such as recreational bodybuilding, crossfit, olympic lifting and since recently got into power lifting as a result of a limiting injury.
I work out at a Crossfit gym where i join in 2 WODS a week which I pick and choose to fit and not interfere with my powerlifting routine. I would like to keep this type of conditioning activity as part of my routine because it generally makes me feel good and healthy.

To progress more in strength I decided I want to run a small cycle to brake some plateaus and build a few pounds of extra clean muscle. The focus is on strength rather than size.

I was thinking of trying out a 8-12 week Ostarine cycle at 15-20mg a day. Alternative could be LGD at 8mg a day.
For PCT I am planning to run Rebirth as I have read some studies on the ingredients and experiences from users it seems to be on par with Nolva without the sides.

Would I need an additional product for PCT to kickstart Test production in case of shut down or will the rebirth alone do the job?

Other then that I’m a bit worried about Test shutdown issues during cycle so I was planning on using a natty Test booster throughout.

Does my plan make any sense? Would there be a need to add an AI product somewhere? Any input is appreciated, thanks!
 
If strength is your main focus, Id say LGD is more a sure thing than ostarine.

It would be advisable you run a SERM for PCT, and get an AI such as exemestane.

This ^^^

And ditch the Test Booster while on cycle. Save it for pct or after. LGD definitely better suited for your goals.
 
I agree, if you're looking for strength, LGD is the way to go. I've gone as high as 15mg/day. Ostarine is solid for cutting/ReComp because it will spare muscle at 20mg per day. Nice on the joints, and mood enhancer. If I had to take them both, I'd run LGD at 5mg and Ostarine at 20mg. Since you're a Crossfitter, GW will be a nice addition. Don't run Sarms past 8 weeks. Androgen receptors need time to rest/reset so it will loose its affect. I've NEVER ran a PCT after Sarm use. Blood work never shows suppression/shutdown. When I did a 1Andro/4Andro cycle, suppressed me so bad. Had to run a Clomid/Nolva cycle which kinda sucked the first 2 weeks.
 
UncleSarm had high suppression on Osta, so I'd prepare for it by having the items on hand...but big boy rules and all that...

**And Rip_T-Bone had Liver markers off the chart, so On Cycle Liver Support may be warranted too. Others say let it ride and the markers will come back down - your choice.
 
Thanks for all the feedback guys. I appreciate the help.

It looks like I will be running LGD then at 8mg a day for 8-12 weeks then PCT Clomid for four weeks at 25mg + herbal test booster.


An actual SERM for PCT seems to be the most sure thing thats proven to work however I'm reading more and more positive experiences from people using Rebirth only with very similar results in PCT.

The addition of exemestane would be just in case of estrogen related sides right?

What do you guys recommend when experiencing test shutdown sides on-cycle? Just ride it out untill PCT or add something else in?

Just want to make sure to make the most of my first run!
 
You would only need a Clomid and Nolva cycle for 4 weeks if you get suppression. Dude, there will be no shut down. I myself got really suppressed and came back in 2 weeks to normal with Clomid and Nolva. I had to get blood work. Scared me a little. That was from an Andro cycle I experimented with.
 
Also! Nolva is the perfect Serm unless you get gyno flair up from something NOT Sarm in your cycle (some companies put in their old batches of methylated Prohormones). If you get suppressed, first 2 weeks of Clomid keep it high for rebound. I was up to 100. Yup, got super moody. I used Blue Ox test booster which was herbs ONLY because I had a little extra money.
