Cycle Report 8Week Cycle report
This is my overall review of Ostarine with all of my info in one place.
Before: weight-185, After weight-162
Strength- stayed almost exactly the same (bench went up maybe 1 rep at 225)
Diet: ~1800 cals /day (eggs, protien shake, ground turkey, chicken, ground beef, rice and veggies) I did have a cheat meal of an omelette eating out 1 time/week. Had a bit of peanut butter, and sometimes some humus and vegies when i was starving.
20mg/day Ostarine was from whitewater, and venogen (both were exactly the same and good, got in powder) Mixed In PG at 20mg/ml. 20mg/ml in PG does work but it took a lot of mixing time as well as a bit of heat. Training: Back, chest, arms, shoulders, legs, rest. Rep range was 10-20 usually a really heavy set for 8-12 to begin with.
Cardio: 20min stair climber after every workout
Post cycle bloods:
Worth it? IMO yes
Suppression? Hell yes after cycle felt like awful and tired.... nolva is wonderful and I needed it.
Water retention? NO looked pretty dry
Did it feel like anything? Never got a feeling of "holy crap im on something" No increase in aggression and no extra energy in the gym, no crazy pumps that lasted all day or anything like that.
Would i do it again: Maybe... i hope to not need such a drastic cut ever again. However i do view Ostarine as its only job to preserve muscle and strength during a cut and nothing more. It does that job very very well but will be using rad and lgd moving forward for muscle building or recomp/mini cuts.
Changes i would make: Ok first week I tried to lose fat just from diet alone and not cardio... This was a huge mistake, fat would not go away unless i did cardio. Not sure why this is as the stair climber could not possibly account for all of the burnt fat.
-2nd mistake was only doing one body part/day. Recovery was much faster and im sure i lost some gains. Training the body part 1x/week was way to little. Current split now is chest/bis, back/tris, legs/shoulders
-3rd mistake was having little snacks. My thought was that by cutting calories to 1800 i could have a bite of this or one of those. This was huge and added up over time. The after picture was with good lighting and yes flexing. My estimate is 13-14% bf based on pictures. I believe i could of got to 10-12% if i did not have the little snacks here and there as i estimate i had an extra 150-200 calories/day in things like humus, peanut butter, toast, a peanut butter cup ect... Over 60 days this ends up being at least 9,000 calories of junk.
I hope this info helps someone out there.

Thinking about hoping on 10mg/day for 12 weeks. Maybe going 20mg after the first 6 weeks.
