how long to you usually wait before cycling again???

[imjosiah]

I have heard both 8 weeks, and 4 weeks.

what is the soonest you can run, after your PCT is finished????

say you cycled 6 weeks, PCT for 4 weeks.......wait two day then go again!!?!?! (Just kidding. )

As per your example given, if you're not getting blood work done, then you should wait at the very MINIMUM 10wks.

Time On Cycle + Time in PCT = Minimum Time taken OFF from ALL Hormonals

 

[spinyvegeta]

Time on plus pct equals time off. So you ran a 4 week cycle with a 4 week pct then you should wait 8 weeks to cycle again.

 

[imjosiah]

thats from when you stop your PCT right???

also what if i run Osta with Novla for a pct?? should i wait longer??

 

[spinyvegeta]

Right. Osta will shut you down

 

[imjosiah]

or is nolva the same as osta since they are both serms??

 

[spinyvegeta]

Osta isn't a serm

 

[imjosiah]

oops sorry. I mean its a Sarm (Selective Androgen Receptor Modulator). so if i run it with my (serm) nolva as PCT, at the end of that time. I need to wait 8 weeks before. doing it all again

Ostarine is a SARM (Selective Androgen Receptor Modulator).
Nolvadex is a SERM (Selective Estrogen Receptor Modulator).

Similar in name, but completely different in effect.

Anabolic steroids work by stimulating a receptor within the body called the Androgen Receptor. Most of the effects athletes experience on steroids has to do with this steroid/receptor interaction. A SARM (such as Osta aka Ostarine) has the ability to stimulate the androgen receptor and yet isn’t a steroid.

SARM's were investigated to help achieve the benefits of testosterone, without it's side effects. The first anabolic steroid to be synthesized was testosterone. It is both highly anabolic (muscle building) and androgenic (causing male sexual traits). Testosterone remains the gold standard of steroids, i.e. all steroids are measured on an anabolic:androgenic rating against testosterone (which itself is scored at a perfect 100:100). But it’s far from ideal. It converts to estrogen and Dihydrotestosterone. Estrogen causes water retention and the development of breast tissue (gynecomastia). Dihydrotestosterone causes acne, prostate enlargement, and hair loss.

SARMs create selective anabolic activity at certain androgen receptors and not others, hence their name. A major benefit of SARMs over other Anabolic Steroids and prohormones is that they do not have androgenic activity in non-skeletal-muscle tissues. SARMs bind to the androgen receptor and demonstrate osteo (bone) and myo (muscular) anabolic activity. Binding and activation of the Androgen receptor alters the expression of genes and increases protein synthesis, hence builds muscle. So in essence, SARMs such as Ostarine causes muscle growth in the same manner as steroids, however unlike testosterone and other anabolic steroids and prohormones, SARMs (as nonsteroidal agents) don’t produce the growth effect on prostate and other secondary sexual organs.

Well first off, I recommend Osta for cycles of 6 - 12 wks. It's still not quite at peak effect nearing week 4...

While it's not steroidal, it still is hormonal and causes you body to leave it's hormonal homeostasis and begins to shut your hpta down.. so yes, the same applies to an Osta cycle.

If you got blood work and could see how everything is effecting you inside and out, you would better know when it's safe to begin a new cycle, and possibly be able to begin sooner than you would without the blood work, provided everything on your panel checks out and says it's safe for your body to handle another cycle.

thanks Adrenolin lots of excellent info.

so from what i have read and the reason i got it, Osta works well for a pct with an E blocker, I have nolva so i thought i would just use that.

However, if it shuts you down, would it not be good to use, following a 6 week cycle???
