I was planning to run test and primo, but pussied out of the pinning and decided to do a Ostarine cycle.
Starting stats 90.2kg , 181cm, around 15% bodyfat. I was recovering for 4months after a shoulder surgery, so some rebound gains were to be expected. When i started training after the surgery my weight was 83kg, then filled back out in a few weeks to ~87kg, then christmas came and i gained some more mass, and creatine bloat and pushed my weight up to a bloated 90.2. so very watery at that point. Thats for the backstory.
I wanted to recomp and thought i was not ready for gear yet, i have done 3 cycles before. So i decided to go for Ostarine.
So i got 200pcs of 10mg pills.
Plan was to take 20mg a day for the first 50days, then bump it up to 30mg a day, to see if would yield more results.
So 83 days, around 11 weeks.
Starting strength indicators: (weak, i know)
Squats: 100kg for 10
Legpress: 250 for 10
Incline DB press: 30kg for 10
Smith bench press*: 80kg for 10
Barbell row: 80kg for 10
Smith shoulder press: 50kg for 10k
Im not going to list all the exercises i did for writings ease sake. Also the training was bodybuilding styled, staying in the 8-12 red range most of the time, implementing some heavier lifts and dropsets too. Only noting the top sets.
*Doing smith bench press to avoid risk of imbalance after the shoulder injury.
Week 1:
started experiencing faster recovery and better pumps, maybe a bit of aggression, but very mild.
week: 3 was when the gains started coming and solidifying. weight dropped down to 88.5 after cleaning the diet. strength was up.
Squats: 115kg for 10
Legpress: 300 for 10
Incline DB press: 35 for 10
Smith bench press*: 100kg for 7
Barbell row: 100kg for 10
Seated shoulder press: 65 kg for 10reps
around week 5 the aggression feeling stopped, maybe some lethargy, might be due to slight suppression, lifts keep going up at a steady pace. Pumps feel fucking nice, fat seems to be burning, diet is clean, weight is staying the same at 88,5 but i seem to be getting leaner. not getting any water retention, a few symmetrical zits have appeared on my both hamstrings.
Around week 7 when i bumped up the dose to 30mg, i started feeling it way more. Muscles were getting harder and getting stronger
Squats: 130kg for 10
Legpress: 350 for 10
Incline DB press: 37,5 for 8
Smith bench press*: 100kg for 10
Barbell row: 120kg for 10
Seated smith shoulder press: 75kg for 10
around week 10 the gains started were still coming in, strength was up.
Squats: 140kg for 7
Legpress: 400kg for 12
Incline DB press: 40kg for 8
Smith bench press*: 110kg for 7
Barbell row: 120kg for 10
Seated shoulder press: 80kg for 9
weight was around 89kg, way leaner to when i started… Really happy with the results, got stronger, leaner and built some muscle while staying around the same weight.
