Stats:
  • Age: 22
  • Gender: Male
  • Height: 174 cm
  • Weight: 89 kg
  • Body Fat: ~23–25%
Goal:
Lose fat while building muscle (body recomp).
I want to reach around 10–15% body fat in 3–4 months and improve my overall physique.

Background:
I trained combat sports for 5 years (wrestling, MMA), so I’m not completely new to strength or conditioning.
I’ve been going to the gym for 6 months now, with proper discipline, tracking, structured programming and nutrition for the last 2 months.

Planned 8-Week Cycle

  • Andarine (S4): 25 mg/day
  • Cardarine: 10 mg/day
  • SR9009: 20 mg/day
  • Calories at maintenance or a slight deficit.

My reasoning behind this stack:
  • Andarine (S4): lean muscle gain, strength, improved definition
  • Cardarine: better endurance & increased fat loss → harder training sessions
  • SR9009: higher metabolic rate, increased calorie expenditure
I chose S4 because it’s generally considered milder and less suppressive than LGD or RAD, and Ostarine seemed too mild for what I want.
From what I’ve read, S4 also works well for cutting or recomp at higher body fat levels.

PCT?

I originally planned not to run a PCT afterwards, since the cycle is relatively short and the dose isn’t that high.
But I’m open to advice here — do you think a PCT is needed at this dose/duration?

Any better suggestions, changes, or things I might be overlooking?
