First cycle advice Ostarine + Enclomiphene during a cut | Looking for feedback
Looking for feedback on my planned first cycle. I've done a lot of research and want to make sure I'm approaching this correctly before I start.
**Stats:**
- Age: 26
- Weight: 81kg
- Training: 4x per week, no skips
- Diet: clean rice, chicken, fish, lean beef, lots of water
- Currently: on a cut, down 9kg in 4 months
- Goal: lean body composition (fat loss while preserving/building muscle)
**Planned protocol:**
- Ostarine (MK-2866): 10mg/day for weeks 1–2, then 20mg/day for weeks 3–8
- Enclomiphene: 12.5mg/day throughout the full 8 weeks (to keep natural testosterone stable and avoid needing PCT)
- NAC (N-Acetyl Cysteine): 600mg/day throughout for liver support
**Why this stack:**
I chose Ostarine because it's the mildest SARM with the most human research behind it. I'm adding Enclomiphene to keep my HPTA intact during the cycle so I don't need PCT afterwards. NAC for liver protection as a precaution.
**My questions:**
Does this protocol make sense for a first cycle on a cut?
Is 12.5mg Enclomiphene enough to keep testosterone stable, or should I go higher?
Should I still do a mini PCT after, even with Enclomiphene throughout?
Any other additions or adjustments you'd recommend?
I'm not looking to get huge just want to preserve muscle and accelerate fat loss during my cut. I understand the risks and I'm going in with realistic expectations.
Any feedback appreciated.
