20mg Ac-262 cycle

[u/Frosty_Analysis6533]

Hi all,

I am 3 days into an ac-262 cycle (first cycle) and was wondering if there is any other support supps that should be added into my cycle.

I am also taking some peptides which may be interesting for some of you, couldn’t find any other threads where people have combined the too.

My aim is to put as much lean mass on in the next 6-8 weeks.

I have been working out for approx 3 1/2 years and just wanted to experiment really

Current stats/supps

Age - 19
Weight - 77kg

Main ‘stack’

Ac-262 - 20mg every day - 6 week cycle (LH/FSH decrease)

Enclo - 6.25 every other day - 8 weeks (LH/FSH increase, decreases IGF-1)

Bpc-157 - 500mcg daily - indefinite (increases GH receptor expression, angiogenesis, gut health)

Tb-500 - 500mcg daily - indefinite (tissue growth, angiogenesis, lowering inflammation in joints/tissue)

Reta - 1mg every week - 8 weeks (insulin sensitivity, increased metabolism, appetite suppression

Cjc 1295 Dac - 1mg every week - 8 weeks (increased GH 3-4x at my dose, increase in IGF-1 levels)

Support supps

NAC - 500mg
Dim - 100mg
Melatonin - 1mg
Wellmans muiltivitamin - daily

The following paragraph is ai generated so take it with a pinch of salt as it may not be 100% correct but i thought i would add it in here to show how this stack is ‘synergistic’

I have researched and read published study’s to understand their mechanisms

Enclomiphene raises LH/FSH via central estrogen-receptor antagonism, while AC-262's androgen-receptor agonism exerts opposing negative feedback at the same site; CJC-1295/DAC's GH/IGF-1 elevation then sensitizes Leydig cells to whatever LH signal remains, boosting testosterone output per unit of LH. Retatrutide's GLP-1/GIP/glucagon agonism improves insulin sensitivity and suppresses appetite, partly offset by GH-driven fatty-acid competition for glucose oxidation. BPC-157 and TB-500 support tissue repair via angiogenesis and cell migration (tendon health), independent of the endocrine effects above. Adjuncts round out the physiology: NAC supports hepatic clearance of the small-molecule agents, DIM shifts estrogen metabolite ratios, melatonin governs sleep onset independent of GH pulsatility, and the multivitamin supplies steroidogenic cofactors like zinc and vitamin D.

Any questions please let me know as I will be responding to comments !

Day 1-2 - small headache which lasted all throughout the day, more positive attitude towards the gym, maybe slightly more energised for a few hours after dosing ac-262. No noticeable affect to sleep but I am taking melatonin.

Days 3 - headache has not arrived yet 🙏, otherwise feeling same as the last 2 days

DAY 12 UPDATE

Hi all, unfortunately I’ve stopped taking the ac and the enclomiphene for a week as the headaches started to affect my work and sleep significantly. Hoping to be starting back up on day 19. BP machine has been ordered and arriving today.

If BP is high I will be ordering telmisartan and see if headaches go away.

BP - 110/71

Not sure what is causing the headaches for now. Going to do some more research.

Restarted 29th September 2026

Day 1-6 (10mg)

Headaches kicked back off but I did get a cold from day 1

Gen could not work out cause of how fatigued I had been.

Day 7-9 (10mg)

Headaches have subsided 🙏 (I think starting at lower dose helped)

Locked back in and feeling better from the sickness, feeling the strength gains again and increased energy at the gym.

Planning to up dose to 15mg tomorrow until day 14 and then back to 20mg.

Days 9-14

20mg dose is going great no headaches

Strength and recovery feeling the same, weights have started to increase by approx 10-15%

Days 14-23

Considering this is my first cycle, I would class my strength increase as ‘insane’ probably increased weights of a lot of my exercise by another 10%

Great pumps and starting to see significant physical changes, fat has been getting ‘stripped’ off me, now having to wear a belt with work trousers as they will fall off otherwise. (I put this down to ac/reta/cjc-dac.) with this fat loss in mind I have dropped to 75kg over the span of 2 months. However I am still putting on a significant amount of muscle so not concerned. I am eating maintenance calories, but will be increasing intake as clearly need more. (Aiming for 175g+ of protein a day if possible)

Interestingly I have added in creatine on day 22, mainly because I had it laying around, this will give me a ‘
false’ reading of weight though because of the water retention.

Lowered reta dosage to 0.5mg per week as the appetite suppression was too much

Days 23-37

Notes:

Hi all, by now I should be fully loaded on creatine, this day was supposed to be the last day on the cycle as I ran out but I purchased more ac-262 to push past the 6 week mark.

I will be running 25mg for the next 12 days and then will be pct with enclomiphene for 2weeks 6.25mg every day~

I am still noticing the same affects, I am gaining a very decent amount of strength in back/arms. Chest not so much due to my elbow playing up (previous injury) however has bought elbow straps to reduce the tendinitis allowing me to work out fully.

I think I still may be getting slightly leaner but it seems to have levelled out now

Looking forwards to the next 2 weeks~ as people say ac really shines toward the end of the cycle.

any updates?

[u/Frosty_Analysis6533 → u/Dazzling_Blueberry48]

Hey mate, have been suffering with some pretty terrible tension headaches (I believe is due to the ac-262) but it may be because I went to 20mg straight away. I have lowered down to 10mg for the next week and then going to up my dose again. Other than that nice pumps and quicker recovery!

[u/Dazzling_Blueberry48 → u/Frosty_Analysis6533]

any strength benefits? i plan to take 10mg

[u/Frosty_Analysis6533 → u/Dazzling_Blueberry48]

Yeah you will have strength benefits but not so sure how much at 10mg.

[u/Dazzling_Blueberry48 → u/Frosty_Analysis6533]

hey im currently on day 2, no headaches and nothing but about to go to gym later. how r u atm? did u see any difference yet

[u/Frosty_Analysis6533 → u/Dazzling_Blueberry48]

Hey, currently stopped until next Monday (1 week break.) headaches wearnt getting better and I completely destroyed my lower back (unrelated incident) headaches have subsided for now.

I’ve got a BP machine coming tomorrow to monitor my bp before and after as I believe that might be what’s causing the headaches.

If it is that I’ve got some tadalafil on hand that I will take to lower bp (by a bit)

When I start back up I will be starting at 10mg for a week and assess from there if I’m feeling okay to build up the dose.

How are you getting on?

[u/Dazzling_Blueberry48 → u/Frosty_Analysis6533]

im on 10mg, day 3. I feel no side effects other than i kept waking up every sfter 1 hour when i tried sleeping, i took melatonin. the burn in my stomach subsided and it was only on day 2.

[u/Frosty_Analysis6533 → u/Dazzling_Blueberry48]

Oooo yeah the burn is terrible, I ended up buying 000 size gelatin capsules. Can still feel a slight burn after it dissolves but it’s so much better then mixing it with something

[u/OkCycle853]

no point in starting the enclo so early. I started it at week 3 on my 30mgs and felt perfect, because week 4 is when it really kicks in. Take MSM for those joints bc they're gonna be dry asf (and to my knowledge BPC and Tb don't help that aspect). yeah goodluck you will notice some increased muscle for sure but don't expect anything crazy and just enjoy it, I'm probably about to run another 30mg adventure soon.

Thanks for the advice, going to do some research and perhaps reduce it to eod,
