Another LGD Newbie Requesting Some Info

Hello Everybody,
I've been doing a bunch of research regarding SARMS specifically LGD and I'm still a little bit confused and was hoping somebody could answer a few questions I had and possibly give me some recommendations.

First off ill start by saying that I'm 24, 5'10, and weigh 173 and ~15% body fat. My goal is to do a 12 week cycle to end my bulk with an end goal weight of 185 followed by a recomp/cut. I've used a few prohormones in the past and have experience with PCT, Blood Levels, etc. However this will be my first SARM cycle

1st question is wether LGD is the correct SARM for me, I've seen that osta is aimed more for recomp/cutting while LGD is more for bulking.

2nd. If I do choose to do LGD, I've seen that the recommended dosage is up to 10mg, but would a dosage of 5mg a day be sufficient for a bulk?

3rd. I was planning on running a 12 week cycle followed by a PCT. My question is after a 12 week cycle of LGD, would I still run osta/gw during my PCT? And if so, how long? Or should I completely stop taking sarms during my PCT and only take my SERM/OTC PCT/DAA.

4th. I'm prone to gyno unfortunately, and had a minor flare up during my last prohormone cycle (earlier in sept). I've read that both osta/LGD can cause gyno. I'm planning on having an AI on hand in case. My question would be, should I run an AI eod as a safety precaution and a prophylactic measure? Or just keep it on hand and only use if I have a flare up.

I know it's alot of information I'm requesting, and there may be some of my answers missed in the forums so I apologize but thank you in advance!

Yes. LGD (LGD-4033) is more of a bulking SARM but you will see little to no fat gains from it. GW-50156 is more of a fat burning/recomping SARM. Osta (MK-2866) is right in the middle of those two.

I'm assuming you are not on TRT because you didn't mention that. LGD is suppressive to natural testosterone production. So is Osta but LGD is more so. So I wouldn't run OSTA during your PCT. You might consider a hgh secretagogue like MK 677 with your SERM and PCT.

Generally I recommend that you run LGD up to 8 weeks max and most likely this will shut you down. Since this is your first SARM cycle maybe you should consider a shorter run and see how it works for you. Just a thought.

LGD is strong but I would recommend 10 mg a day. That's the sweet spot. 5mg just may not get you what you are trying to achieve. If you want to start on 5mg and see how that feels maybe but I have a feeling that you will end up bumping it up to 10mg. Are you thinking 5mg so you can extend your supply to 12 weeks? I would go with 10mg for 8 weeks.

If you're prone to gyno I would take an AI throughout your cycle just to be safe. That's my 2 cents.
