Hey guys. Long time lurker, first time poster. Thanks in advance for all of the information you all have posted on here and for the help you all may be able to give me.
First and foremost, let me give you a little background on myself. I'm 29 years old, a full time student and a waiter to pay the bills. In a less than two years, I should be in law school (yeah, unfortunately one of those guys) as I excel in my studies. As far as my body is concerned, I'm 6'2", 238 lbs (as of this past Tuesday) and, 16.2% BF. Yeah, I know the BF is a little high. I have been lifting and working out faithfully for about a year and a half, with some time off here and there due to injury (dislocated shoulder, patellar tendonitis) and finals during some semesters. I had always *kinda* worked out here and there in my past, for decent stretches of time, but never as dedicated and faithfully as I am now. So in the grand scheme of things, I am probably a new(er) lifter.
As far as diet is concerned, I prep a lot of meals and do my absolute best to eat every 3 hours and eat clean. Diet absolutely isn't flawless, could be better, but none the less, I'm fairly happy with it.
As far as OTC supplements are concerned, this is what I use: BPI ISOHD Whey, ON Gold Standard Casein, Muscle Milk for meal replacement on the go, BPI Best BCAA, ON Glutamine, MusclePharm Assault Black, a little extra NutraKey Beta Alanine when I feel like a need it (i.e., leg day), MusclePharm Creatine and Animal Paks (original).
So what is it that I want? I want the same thing all of us bros want: Build muscle, lose fat. Summer is coming up and I'd love to pack on some serious muscle and cut down BF a bit (again, nothing unique here). So I've been considering making a jump into the non-natty world.
I've been considering getting on a SARM cycle. However, I see SOOOOOOO much conflicting information, suggestions, "studies" all around. On this board, other boards, YouTube, articles, you get the idea. I've watched Gemelli's videos on YouTube, as well anyone else's. Also, some of the jargon seems to throw me off as well. So here I am asking for your help and explanation!
This is what I was considering doing: I was considering running LGD-4033 as a standalone for 8 weeks. Keeping it simple. Trying to get a quick, 8 week bulk in. Perhaps eating a *slight* caloric surplus (certainly no reckless dirty bulking). Then running a PCT. Then immediately going into the SARMS triple stack protocol (Ostarine, S4, GW) for another 8 weeks for a recomp/cut, doing a PCT and being done. Generally speaking, does this sound good to go for my first rodeo? Or would you all suggest something different?
I think where I get confused is here: dosing, on-cycle therapy and PCT. I've seen people suggest 3 mg per day of LGD. I've seen Gemelli recommending 10 mg per day. I've seen people say they ran LGD, didn't get shut down, didn't use a PCT and were fine. I've also heard of total shutdown. I have also read the sticky at the top of this forum regarding PCT and suggesting Ostarine as a PCT. But if I'm eventually trying to come OFF a SARM like LGD and my plan is to take Osta as part of my next stack, should I really be taking it?
So, for the plan I've mapped out, what do you suggest for PCT for these two cycles? I was absolutely going to run HCGenerate while on the LGD (and probably the triple stack) but I've also seen suggestions to run it as a PCT as well (should I really run HCGenerate through two 8 week cycles and PCT)?
Also, I have a *slight* proclivity towards gyno I think. I do carry fat in my chest, its a family thing. My dad did the same, but I never have felt any glandular issue or anything like that, so I absolutely don't want to exacerbate that in anyway. So should I be running an AI (if so, which?) on cycle too? If so, can I run an AI during both cycles and PCT?
Alright, I feel like I just threw a million questions at all of you, so I appreciate your patience and bearing with me here. I'm naturally a really curious person and I ask a lot of questions (hence the law degree). So if anyone could just lay it out what I should be doing here exactly, I'd really appreciate it.
Thanks bros.
