Hi. I'm a newbie here. I'm back to bb after years of rest due to surgeries, health issues, and family issues, so when I saw SARMS information I decided this was it.
So, I'm interested in this opportunity, and I can log my work and results. I would like to try a stack of LGD, yk11, and s4. I already purchased the LGD and YK11 and they are on their way, I'm waiting for the PCT that should arrive in a couple weeks, due to slow delivery from india. if you are interested in seeing a log, I'd like to get a free bottle of s4 for this cycle to run a stack and see how it works out. will be doing 3500 cal/day using whey protein and natural food where possible. I'm 46, 5'9", 190, under 20% bf, I have been out of practice for several years due to health and family issues, and being scared off test due to a little gyno that was not eradicated using nolva and clomid about 13 years ago when I was running a test E cycle. I have done EQ, Tren, Test E. I respond well to aas, but have tried to stay natural for several years due to wanting to have a kid. I finally have one, so now it's time to go back to the things that actually work.
With this in mind, Sarms seemed to be the ideal way to restart my bodybuilding life and I would like to try them out. I will run initially a 30 day cycle that may turn into 60 if money allows. with possible repeats in the future if this works out. My goal is to gain at least 6 lbs (at least 8 - 12 if I run this for 60 days) of lean mass, recomp, cut as much as possible, gain bigger arms, pecs, improve my abs and lats, tris, and shoulders.
Do you guys think this stack would work well? should I change something? what? why? what dosage do you feel would be best? I have cutting goals AND bulking at the same time. I understand you can do that with S4 stacked. This is what intrigues me and see how that works.
my test levels: last time about 300+ or so of natty levels. which sucks, but at least I don't have to do TRT. I'm considering TRT, which my doc doesn't want to give me since i'm above 199, so I may have to get it somewhere else. SHOULD I run a test cycle during this cycle? can I run it without test? I really don't want to develop more gyno than what I already got (enough to shame the **** out of me with the girls, not enough to go under the knife). thoughts appreciated.
PCT: Any thoughts regarding PCT to be followed during a 30 or a 60 day run? should I even go for the 60 day or take a 30 day break running PCT after cycle?; what do you suggest? I'm familiar with the usual clomid/nolva doses from day 1, not into frontloading. suggestions, given this particular cycle (at least LGD/Yk11) are appreciated since I"m no chemist and no pro bodybuilder.
Diet: can anybody post any helpful links that can help me figure out an effective diet? I suck at nutrition, so maybe anyone could point me in the right direction? I'm trying to fix this. I have stacked on whey powder for this cycle, and will get whatever food I can during it. Trying to eat healthy veggies and steaks lately. I bloat easily, and that bothers me quite a lot.
Exercises to maximize results: I'm still in that area where I'm stil a newb and I'm not fully developed so I know I can make a lot of progress with proper guidance, nutrition and hard work.
I am subscribed to any imaginable bb magazines out there; and yet I still feel a newb when it comes to what might be the best exercises to develop these areas. for a cycle, what do you guys recommend I should be doing based on my goals above? I have a small home gym with equipment. any ideas, suggestions, or links would help me a lot. I'm not being lazy, I have spent a lot of time collecting data and researching the last 15 years. But obviously, pro bodybuilders would know much better than I what works for a cycle where I got to work hard. my knees are somewhat messed up from carrying heavy equipment for years, and got two hernia surgeries, so I must be careful in that area.
Any help, guidance, etc. is appreciated. if I get a bottle of s4, I will log my workouts and diet plus results the best I can for 30 days.
Thank you for your attention.
best,
Zeus
