ostarine(mk2866) cycle

**brobraham lincoln** · 12-19-2012, 12:37 PM

Hey guys, I try to find answers for myself and not post a ton, but info on an ostarine cycles seems kind of all over the place. Iam interested in running a 4-8 week cycle? at dosages starting around 12.5mg and progressing up to 25 mg ED. What im confused about is whether or not I need an AI or SERM. I would like to run arimidex but how much? Also would like to run a PCT but not sure what to use and at what dosage?
Any help is much appreciated thanks.

You might want to read my 4 week ostarine bulking cycle post. You don't need arimidex since Ostaine does not aromatize. No need for a PCT either in my experience. My advice would be to run it like I did at first:
Week 1: 10mg ED
Week 2: 15mg ED
Week 3: 20mg ED
Week 4: 25mg ED
I would just go for 4 weeks and see how it works for you. I've found that 15-20mg is enough for me. Why waste money? Also, if you look it my cycle, gains died by week 4 anyway. With 4 weeks you are not most likely going to need a PCT. If you really want to be safe you can do what I do and just run some DAA at 3-6G ED. It's not going to hurt anything.
So save your money on the adex and have fun!

What did you manage to gain and keep on that cycle?

I'm thinking of doing 25mg ED for 4 weeks as a recomp before next summer, thanks.

Gained 10# and have kept it. Also gained 1# just using for a week and kept it too.
No need for pct.

DAA = D-Aspartic Acid. It's just an amino acid and it's pretty cheap stuff. I actually tested the stuff with blood work and it raised my total test level from 703 - 794 so I know it works. Basically, it stimulates the production of LH so it's helping your body do what it does naturally. I've even used it instead of HCG after a test cycle and it worked fine.
It takes about 2 weeks to load up and start working. I've ready to load for 2 weeks with 5-6g and then maintain with 3g. Seems like everybody has a theory. The recommended 3g ED did nothing for me. Generally, it's so cheap I just run 5g all the time. Last year I just ran it all year with no sides. For us who are on Androgel or other such TRT, it's a good way to keep the boys plump. I run it right through cycles just like creatine.
DAA is cheap enough if you shop around to just run all the time. Not going to hurt you I wouldn't think. The only thing is it's kind of gritty and tastes a bit sour. Just mix it with a shake and it's fine. I say give it a try and see what you think!

D-Asp is a great compound to run in between cycles as it have been known to increase LH and Test production, both in animal model and humans.

But running it DURING a cycle is a waste of money. There is no way an increase in the concentration of D-Asp is going to stimulate any production of test when an enormous amount of endogenous test is injected.

If it works like hcg , then yes, it should stimulate the testes when on.

hCG directly inhibit testicular atrophy, and is therfore benificial on cycle. But DAA raises test levels by accelerating a limiting step in the process. It does not prevent testicular atrophy in any way, and will do nothing if the testosterone production is already almost none.
