Im going to take 10mg of LGD for 8 weeks, what kind of PCT is reccomended? Someone reccomended PCT V which contains 38mg of Arimistane and natural testo boosters.
Also, what kind of bloodwork do i need before my cycle? Planning on bloodwork before, 5 weeks in and after
Make hormone panel for the blood work. Pct would be the same as a regular cycle. Nolva 40/40/20/20.
Wouldn’t that be a bit overkill?
You think taking Nolva as he suggested would be overkill for a just a sarm cycle? But yet you are ready to buy some from Blackstone Labs that looks like gimmick in a bottle?
PJ Braun claims tribulus tetris boosts natural test but that isnt true. He is bodybuilding used car salemen. He is recommending you take this PCT V which contains arimistane which is going to block the conversion to E2. LGD is only mildly suppressive. Chances of any gyno forming are very low due to the coming off “cycle” and transitioning period.
Why would you want to take something such a PCT V, when your really dont even know what is in it? Whereas, just taking Nolva for 4 weeks is tried, trusted and true. As long as the source is clean, the Nolva should be just that. Cant say the same about PCT V.
Contradictory results of aforementioned studies suggest that marketing opinions about TT as a testosterone enhancer are unsubstantiated. Therefore, there are athletes who use it in order to improve their performance. It is caused by intensive advertising encouraging TT usage, which may only result in a temporary placebo effect. For that reason, further clinical trials should be carried out in the future.
Post cycle therapy should be pretty simple, irrespective of the cycle. And make no mistake, eight weeks of LGD is a cycle. It’s pretty straightforward. A lot of times guys assume that because suppression is materially different than shutdown they can run a more lax pct. No reason to risk that when you know that Nolva works.
I’ve read (but haven’t been able to confirm) that natural testosterone begins to suppress after 15-21 days.
If this is true, do you avoid suppression by taking a SARM for one or two weeks then take a one to a few weeks off and repeating?
Obviously this would take longer but surely you would get the same gains taking 1 week on, 1 week off for 8 weeks as you would taking 4 weeks on.
You’re still having 4 weeks on but you’re just splitting them up.
Could you get the same gains over a longer period of time and avoid suppression at the same time?
If you could avoid suppression you could avoid the need for PCT altogether.
Suppression starts almost immediately for pretty much all compounds. It’s a matter of degree from there. We have very little actual data on SARMS outside of the few clinical trials that exist, some of which had patient groups that simply do not give useful data for a healthy male athlete. The wheel is an amazing innovation and has served us well. Don’t try to reinvent it unless you think you’ve found something better.
