Starting my first cycle i'm going to be cutting for 12 weeks 300-400 calorie deficit on 5mg Ostarine daily. I have enclo but with this dose and length do I need to take it from the start or 2-3 weeks in or only as pct?
Hey y’all, I know you guys are going to say not to take anything, but I’m going to post anyway. I’m 18 years old and have been lifting for 3 years (118 lbs → 160 lbs at 5'5"). I went from a 95lb bench at 118 lbs to a 275lb bench at 158 lbs from August 2023 to August 2025, but I haven’t progressed at all on my bench over the past year. I’ve done a couple of bulking and cutting phases, but I can only match or be slightly under the strength I had previously. My shoulders also haven’t progressed since I focused on them a ton early. My biceps and triceps have been extremely slow to make gains while my back/traps are the only areas where I feel like I’m consistently getting bigger. I’ve never taken anything before and I want to take something that makes the gym feel rewarding again and helps me keep my progress more consistent. I don’t want anything terribly strong or suppressive just a mild boost that could help me retain muscle or potentially gain some while cutting. I was considering MK-677 but my hunger is already extremely annoying. Currently i’m mainly considering Andarine at 25–50 mg daily for 8 weeks on a cut and using enclomiphene as PCT or alongside it if my test gets suppressed. I need advice from experienced users since I am new to this and if there is any better options I should be looking into or anything you would specifically avoid. Thanks
