12-Week OTR-AC + LGD-4033 Cycle Log (Personal Experience)​

Disclaimer: This is my personal experience and is being shared strictly for informational and research purposes. I'm not recommending that anyone use these compounds. Everyone responds differently, and blood work should always be considered.

• Male, 37 years old
• Height: 5'9"
• Starting Weight: 159 lbs
• Estimated Body Fat: 20-24%

Cycle Dates​

Start: March 17
End: June 17 (12 Weeks)

Compounds Used​

• OTR-AC (Ostarine Esterified): 25 mg every other day
• S-4: 50 mg every day, but stopped after 2 weeks of yellow tint side effect
• LGD-4033 (Ligandrol): 10 mg every day

Training & Diet​

I trained consistently throughout the entire 12 weeks and stayed committed to my workouts. My primary goal was to improve my body composition by adding lean muscle while reducing body fat. I trained 5 days a week 2 days off with my sessions only being 45min - 1hr long not going for PR's little to no cardio or runs.

As far as diet goes, this is honestly the area where I could have done much better. Nutrition and meal consistency are probably my biggest weaknesses, and it's something I need to dial in and become more disciplined with. I wasn't eating poorly, and I was mindful of getting enough protein and making better choices overall, but I know my results could have been even better had I been more consistent with my nutrition. I choose to do an High Protein/Carb Intermittent fasting.

Even with that being said, I was very pleased with the results I achieved.

Results After 12 Weeks​

• Ending Weight: 170 lbs
• Estimated Body Fat: 15%

Changes I Noticed​

• Gained approximately 11 lbs while dropping an estimated 5% body fat.
• Noticeable increase in muscle definition, particularly in my shoulders, chest, arms, and legs.
• Midsection became leaner and abs became more visible.
• Strength increased steadily throughout the cycle.
• Recovery between workouts seemed improved.
• Motivation and gym performance remained high.
• Mood and libido stayed relatively consistent throughout the cycle.

Side Effects​

Personally, I did not experience any major side effects that stood out during the cycle. However, I did not get blood work done before, during, or after the cycle, so I can't comment on testosterone suppression, liver values, cholesterol, or other health markers.

Post Cycle Therapy (PCT)​

Weeks 1-2​

• Nolvadex: 20 mg daily
• Tadalafil: 5 mg daily

Weeks 3-4​

• Nolvadex: 10 mg daily
• Tadalafil: 5 mg daily

Overall Thoughts​

Overall, this was a positive experience for me from both a physique and performance standpoint. Going from 159 lbs at roughly 20% body fat to 170 lbs at around 15% body fat exceeded my expectations, especially considering my diet wasn't as dialed in as it could have been.

If there's one thing I learned from this cycle, it's that training can only take you so far—nutrition really does matter. I believe I left some results on the table by not being stricter with my diet, and that's something I plan to improve moving forward.

I'm sharing this log simply to contribute another real-world experience for those doing their own research. Everyone's experience will be different, but hopefully this information helps someone else.

Future Cycle Opinions​

Id be interested in others opinion for my next cycle, here's what i had in mind. I am trying to stay around the 170-180lbs with functional strength and an aesthetic look/build.

1) OTR-AC 25mg every other day
2) S-4 25-50mg a day (depending on vision side effect)
3) Cardarine - 10mg a day.
4) Maybe ACP-105 10mg a day????

Same PCT as before w/ BPC-157

great job on this writeup

My advice on diet is very simple: Food Prep, Food Prep, Food Prep. I do it myself twice a week and it makes life so easy.

one thing that you can do is increase the GW to 20 mg a day. It's far more effective and that is the most popular dosage. Also look at SLU.

thanks for taking the time to put this ride up together. I would also consider in PCT a natural testosterone booster like hcgenerate.
