First Cycle Advice - Full info provided (blood work, training age, etc)

[ku2u]

Hello All, I'm looking for first cycle advice and here's my stats below. Dylan's videos have been very helpful in learning more about SARMS so big props!

Age - 26
Training age - Started serious strength training at 11 years old (athlete for many years)
Height - 5'10
Weight - 175lbs
BF% - 9% (7 site skinfold recently)
Former Olympic lifter and have been able to squat 2.4x BW in the past (190kg), Front squat 172kg, bench - 130kg, Hang clean 137kg, etc...

Blood Work - I live in Asia and have VERY cheap access to blood work, I get my Testosterone and Cortisol measured every 2 weeks for anabolic status.

AM Testosterone - 674 (recent, but has fallen as low as 483 in the morning)
AM Cortisol - 13.1 (recent but has been as high as 25 in the morning)
Estradiol E2 - 34pg/ml
GH - .020ng/ml (low)
Free T4 - .88ng/DL
FSH - 14.16 mIU/ml
LH - 5.97 mIU/ml
Prolactin - 10.83ng/ml
Albumin - 4.6g/dl
ACTH - 33pg/ml
Vitamin D - 62ng/ml

I believe that my natural Testosterone isn't optimal for my age. I've seen the largest increases naturally by finding ways to lower my cortisol levels. Every other part of my blood seems quite normal. I also have lost about 10% of the strength that I used to have on my lifts that I posted above.

My goal is to gain 10lbs of lean body mass/bring back strength to where it was before and I believe the SARM LGD 4033 may be the best way to do this. Here is my plan

LGD 4033
Week 1 - 3mg
Week 2 - 5mg
Week 3 - 10mg
Week 4 - 10mg

Cycle OFF and use PCT afterwards.

I have full access to blood testing (I work with a lab) so any advice would be appreciated on what to monitor and make this 10lb lean muscle gain possible. Any thoughts?

Hey bro, you do not want to only run 4 weeks. That is a waste of a cycle. You need a full 12 weeks. Also you don't want to run those doses starting out. LGD should be ran 10mg per day.

You also want to make sure you have the right quality of sarms and the only sarms we recommend is from www.sarmsx.com

There is a ton of changes selling bunk or underdosed stuff out there.

For your goals you would be better off with a sarms stack, and there is none better for you than the power stack. Here is the layout along with links to get everything you need

https://www.sarmsx.com/stacks/power-stack-12-weeks-2

1-12 lgd-4033 10 mg day dosed once a day in the a.m.
1-12 S4 50 mg day... split doses... 25 mg in the a.m. and 25 mg 4-6 hours later
1-12 RAD-140 20mg day dosed once a day in the a.m.




PCT

Clomid 50/25/25/25
GW 20mg per day

Hey guys thanks for the info and sorry for my ignorance! I'm just looking to put on 5-10lbs of lean tissue and thought that just running LGD 4033 as a standalone for the first cycle would be best. Is everything else REALLY necessary to achieve my goal? Thanks again guys.

One more q, how much strength gain is expected usually on SARMS? Like how many lbs added to lifts?

LOL bro, seriously, you need to watch this video about asking impossible questions.. there's not a human alive that could answer that... im not trying to be mean or anything but i have to teach you... thats an absurd question to ask for specific pounds... if you eat like shit, it makes no difference what you take etc... just an example but noone can factor in what you do man.. you can get HUGE strength with just the combo i gave you of the two.. i gave you the perfect stack to run... you can run it by itself but your going to surpass your goals with the cycle i gave you ... please watch this video so you dont ask questions like this in the future... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BBttYHL27Zw&t=249s

Hey guys, apologies for the ignorant questions. I totally understand that you guys get nonsense questions all day and it needs to be kept to a minimum!

Dylan, you recommended using LGD and S4 in the earlier post. Is it possible that I could use LGD and Ostarine instead and perhaps achieve my goal of adding 10lbs ? The reason why I'd like to use Ostarine is because I'm interested in the tissue regeneration benefits it may have. I have some minor injuries that I train around, and am hoping that ostarine could help them heal. Thanks again for your help, I'm loving the content on this forum!

yes, absolutely... you will likely gain more than 10 lbs. if you eat to accommodate it but keeping it as is and then adding mk2866 to lgd and s4 would be even better... either way, its a great stack...

Dylan and RickRock, thanks for your advice. As I've done more research, I'm going to lean towards S4 and LGD 4033 for 12 weeks and PCT. My goal is to continue to increase strength/mass and get around 8% bodyfat for a photo shoot in April. I will get blood work done as often as needed during this cycle.

LGD Weeks 1-12 @10mg/day
S4 Weeks 1-12 @25mg 2x per day

4 Week Mini PCT
GW50516 - 20mg/day
LquiClo - 50/25/25/25

Last question - Where should I record a log at? Should I just continue it on here or is there a better forum to log it at? I want to be as informative as possible just like you guys have done.
