Muscle Addictions S-4 & MK-2866 SARMs Cycle

[muscleaddiction]

Whaz up EF family!

So this will be my very first experience with SARMs, and I am excited to say the least. I have done much research, and with assistance of some very knowledgeable brothers on this forum I have a nice SARMs cycle laid out with some additional support supplements to go along with it. I know this isn't your typical exciting AAS cycle like most here, but this really is a bridge between cycles, and to give SARMs a try. For this cycle I am looking for a recomposition, drop body fat while maintaining or even gaining lean muscle. The SARMs I am going to go with are S-4 and MK-2866 from Uniquemicals. I am currently finishing off a PCT from an Epi-Strong cycle, and had this planned as a bridge between cycles, and to just continue to keep moving towards my goal is to get on stage again and compete hopefully this year.

I really was debating whether or not I was going to create a log for this as I am infamous for starting a log out strong and detailed, and falling into procrastinating behavior, work, family, life taking my time and I think you know where I am going with this. But there are a couple of brothers here who are motivating me to do so, Dylan and FL3X have offered to keep me honest, help me follow through on my log, and give support so we will see if this helps lol!!! It actually is giving me more motivation to follow through completely time, so as they say “let’s kill this sh*t!!!”

Cycle:

1-10 Uniquemicals S-4 (50 mg ED, 25 mg morning/ 25 mg evening) may adjust depending on sides
1-10 Uniquemicals MK-2866 (25 mg ED morning) this should be fine
1-10 Bridge (3 caps ED)
1-10 Need2Slin (4 caps ED, spread out 30 min prior to carb meals, pre-fasted cardio)
1-10 Anabeta (4 Caps ED)
1-10 Forged Steel (RD)
1-4 Forged Burner (RD)

I will also be using these staple supplements:

Gear (10 caps ED pre/post workout, in-between meals)
Ruthless 3D Multi Vitamin (3 caps ED spread w/meals)
EFA’s (6 softgels ED w/meals)
Whey to Build Muscle and Muscle Replenisher proteins for shakes
Creatine & BCAA’s Powerchews (15 grams Creatine ED, BCAA’s for sweet tooth attacks!!!)
N2KTS or PWO Zero Loss or PWO Powerchews (obviously pre-workout)
HCGenerate (will have on hand, but just finishing off 2 consecutive bottles so take a break from it)

Diet/Nutrition:

My maintenance calories are around 3400 ED, so to start I will target my calories around 2900 cals on training days, and 2400 cals on non-training days and see how that works and adjust as needed. I want to be able to have some room to tweak, plus I end up looking flat when I diet down, and I don’t like it! I will carb cycle, and schedule my moderate carb days on leg/chest days for more fuel obviously. My carbohydrate sources will mainly be yams/sweet potatoes, Ezekiel bread, Quinoa, Black Beans, Oats, and Brown Rice. As you see all of my carbohydrates are high in fiber, and of course I will be eating a ton of Broccoli, Zucchini, Asparagus (when not so pricey), salads, and green beans, I am big on organic veggies, and I can’t get enough of them! Healthy fats will be peanut butter, olive oil, Avocado, Almonds, stuff like that. Proteins will be chicken, turkey, lean steak or ground round (always grass fed), eggs, fish, and shakes. I make these really good homemade Rocky Road Protein Bars, and will check the macros on those because they are great for those times at work when you are going from meeting to meeting, or in a classroom training so I will have those ready anyway, because my 6 year old little girls likes them too

.

Cardio:

I am at 5 days a week @ 45 minutes treadmill, and will continue with that and increase/modify as needed. I am going to learn how to jump rope too, my little girl is going to teach me she says

, so that will be some good addition to the other cardio. I will not do cardio on leg days and I will give myself off Sundays for family and chore day we will see if I can stay out of the gym lol!!!

Weights:

HEAVY!!! 5x5, 15-20 rep sets, 8-10 rep sets, 100’s, I will mix it up all the time and my energy levels at times will determine what I do but it is all about keeping the muscle guessing!

Stats:

228 lbs.
6’1” (lost an inch or two over the years from heavy squats and dead’s lol!!)
41 years young!!!
BF% (unknown at this time, but will post progress photos, keep my wife’s involvement and interest)
Been lifting for 18+ years, competed in 2005 & 2007 (1st place and (3) 2nd place finishes, and want to place overall my next time on stage.

I hope you will follow along on this one, as I will put 1000% into this goal of mine. I am going to play it safe and say realistically I will be updating this log every 3 days, but will do it more frequently as necessary. Although, this is my first dabble at SARMs, and am really excitied to see how they work for me, so my ambition and desire is there...and now that I have brothers in my corner, lets do this!

Thanks for reading my biography lol!!! Hopefully you will follow along.

Day #1:

Alright, this is the first day of the cycle and this morning at 4:15 am I took my first dose of S-4 and MK-2866. I will say...the taste is much to be desired

...no like the taste!! Although, not as bad as some of the research chems I have had in the past.

I hit back this morning and cardio for 45 minutes on the treadmill. I still have some supplements left from PCT (like 2 more days worth of Post Cycle/Unleashed, N2 Burn, quite a bit left of N2 Flame and N2 Stim) so I am going to just continue to finish those off while starting the cycle. I dropped my Bridge dose from double to single, and will keep it at 3 caps ED (morning/afternoon/evening meals) for rest of cycle. I will just lay out my back routine from this morning:

Lat Pulldowns: 6 sets (15/12/10/10/8/8), 120/150/180/210/240/255
Close Grip Seated Rows: 4 sets (15/12/12/12), 200/225/250/250
Close Grip High Rows: 4 sets (12/12/12/12), 250 (I add two 25 lb weights to the stack due to it only goes to 200) reason for high reps
Bent Over DB Rows: 4 sets (12/10/8/8), 75/85/95/100
Deadz: 4 sets (10/8/6/6), 225, 315, 355, 405 (my lower back has been bothering me a bit, so just concentrated on strict form and did static holds after each set for 30-60 seconds)

So that was the workout for today, I may hit biceps later in my garage gym, but at home with my daughter today (Spring Break) so if weather is nice we will go out and play!

Gotta go eat...enjoy your day!!!

Day #2:

I just got back from the gym, today was supposed to be just cardio, but did some biceps as well...I took my doses of s-4 and MK-2866, need2slin, Anabeta, 6 caps of N2 Amp, gear, and 1 scoop PWO Zero Loss and sweated like a mofo! Did 45 minutes fasted cardio first , then hit a lot of negatives and forced reps on biceps and the pumps were outrageous! They were like little lobsters popping out of the tail shell, just painfully engorged with blood...love it! Everything just feels really tight, full muscles, nice vascularity, I am really enjoying this. I know this isn't a cycle of Test or anything...that is coming later...but really a great sense of wellbeing, and feeling strong.

This was my bicep workout:

DB Curls (rotating wrists so palms are facing floor on negatives): 4 sets (12/10/8/8), 30/35/40/45 lbs
Standing EZ Bar Curls: 4 sets (10/8/8/6), 95/115/125/130 lbs...slow negatives
Preacher BB Curls: 4 sets (8/8/8/8), 125 lbs...slow negatives
Low Cable Curls: 3 sets (10 reps), 100 lbs...negatives all the way

Just sitting here updating and drinking a Rocky Road WTBM shake w/10 grams creatine...no carbs, low carb/calorie day today, and waiting for my little girl to wake up...some nice quiet time for me.

Later!!

Day #4:

So, I took my doses of S-4 (25 mg) and MK-2866 (25 mg), need2slin, Anabeta, 6 caps of N2 Amp, Gear, and 1 scoop N2KTS (Green Apple, mixed with EAA-BCAA...had some left that I sip on during workout). I did 45 minutes fasted cardio first , and then it was time to hit shoulders. I decided to do cardio first for fasted utilizing need2slin, plus it was cold and I like to have the body warmed up prior to hitting the weights. I hit shoulders pretty good...

Shoulder/Trap workout:

Low Cable Crossing Side Lateral Raises: 5 sets/1 warm up, (20/15/12/10/10 reps), 20/25/30/35/40 lbs...nice and pumped
Military Press: 4 sets (10/8/8/6 reps), 135/185/205/225 lbs...last set performed drop set back to 135 for slow negatives
DB Alternating Front Raises: 4 sets (10 reps), 35/40/45/50
DB Side Lateral Raises (thumbs up): 4 sets (12/10/10/8 reps), (25/30/35/35)...controlled, slow negatives...good burn!
(Superset w/)Trap bar Shrugs: 4 sets (12 reps...2 second hold at top), 225 lbs...I can shrug more, but will do HEAVY when I go to Powerhouse on weekend when I have access to a powerack.

My shoulders were feeling really pumped up today...to the point they were painful. I think the combination of N2 Amp, N2KTS, and SARMs (specifically S-4) really got the blood flowing to the body part I was training. I had a very nice round cantelope look to them in the mirror...nice and full!

Once I got home from the gym, prior to the shower, I had a Muscle Replenisher shake, my dose of Bridge, Anabeta, Gear, and at this time I also took my first dose of Forged Burner to keep my metabolism ramped up after my workout...and damn that stuff is good! I took it with 1 N2 Stim as well...nice smooth energy all morning!!!

There is one thing that I notice when taking my 2nd dose of S-4 in the afternoon...kind of a rush of aggression, it is hard to describe, I don't feel it in the morning most likely due to I'm jacked up on my pre-workouts, and I just woke up at 4 a.m. Like yesterday, when I got home from work it was a bit late, but I try and space out S-4 every 12 hours. I took my 25 mg dose and proceeded to make dinner...chicken tenderloins, asparagus, and the wife and daughter also had rice...I had a Greek Yogurt for desert. Anyway, I have been feeling this rush of aggression while I was cooking dinner...to the point where I get cocky, as I said hard to explain. When I get home I will take my dose and see how I can better explain it.

I weighed myself yesterday (OFF day from gym...had to get some rest) at 226.5 which is already down from 228-230, so moving in the right direction, but the initial weight loss is more dramatic than it will continue to be I'm sure.


Later!!

Day #5:

Good morning folks! So yesterday I did my morning supplement ritual (not going to keep posting the same information every time...you know what I am supplementing with lol!!) and was able to go to Powerhouse Gym for my leg day. I was disappointed to say the least due to I hit a freaking wall during my workout! I didn't eat any carbs the night before, or prior to my workout (my fault), just had one of my protein bars. So this is what I was able to accomplish thought...

Legs (mostly quads):

Warm up: Exercise Bike for 15 minutes (level 10 to warm up the knees)

Leg Extensions: 5 sets/1 warm up, (20/15/12/10/10 reps), 100/130/160/190/220 lbs...got their attention!!!
Leg Press: 8 sets (15/12/10/10/8/8/8/6 reps), 485/665/845/935/1025/1115/1115/1115 lbs...this is where I hit the wall!!!
Squats: 4 sets (10 reps), 135/225/225/225...made sure form was on par, ass to the ground, and I was winded big time!
Hammer Strength Extensions (with static holds at top): 4 sets (10 reps), (50/90/90/90)...controlled, hold at top of each rep for 2 count, slow negatives...I was done !

I really do hate having a sub-par workout to start my day, but my legs and glutes are pretty sore today so I got something done. I am about to head to the gym for hams/calves/cardio and then enjoy the rest of the day dying Easter eggs with my little girl .

I ate an additional serving of oatmeal yesterday after my workout, and had a ton of protein and veggies for lunch and dinner, Greek Yogurt w/Rocky Road protein mixed in for snack in the afternoon (taste just like pudding...so freaking good!), a few shakes (Muscle Replenisher after training, WTBM the rest of them), and homemade protein bars for snacks when hunger hit...but not to over do it...just wanted to make sure I fueled today's workout.

I hear the strength comes on gradually with SARMs, so am just waiting for that to happen...but I honestly feel that nutrition had a big play in yesterday's workout...or lack there of.

Well, wish me luck, heading to gym now to get it done!

 

[chesty]

I have used both s4 and mk2866. I mainly hate the taste! I couldn't tell if they were helping or not since I was on gear as well. Keep up the work and let us know how the stuff works/doesn't work for you.
