Ladies and gentlemen, the time has come to put together a log. As you know, SARMs have been all over the Elitefitness forum as of late, which sparked my interest in these particular compounds. After a few months of research I decided to give them a shot……….for my rats.
The plan is to use them to aid in a cut/recomp cycle. I am hoping to lose fat and get fairly dry/vascular while maintaining, or even gaining, lean muscle mass. Most importantly, I will be monitoring my strength. Numbers are important to me, as are details. I’m going to try to keep everything as detailed as possible, while mainly focusing on how it helps (or does not help) my strength as I cut.
Rat stats:
21 years old
5’6” - 184lbs.
12-13% body fat (give or take)
1RM (as of 2/22/14):
Squat- 425lbs
Bench- 345lbs
Deadlift- 475lbs
Rat trains 5 days per week and will be doing cardio 4 times per week ranging from 15-40 minutes, varying intensities.
Training focuses on squat/ bench/ deadlift for power. Usually with high weight- low rep, then followed by training for hypertrophy.
Split looks like:
1- Squat/ accessory/ cardio
2- Presses i.e. bench/shoulder and accessory/cardio
3- Off day
4- Squat or deadlift/ accessory/ cardio
5- Presses i.e. bench/shoulder and accessory/cardio
6- Back and bicep isolation
7- Off day
^^ Somewhat unorthodox program I put together, but strength has gone through the roof the past few months, so I stand by it 100%. I’ll log some of my workouts from time to time, with exact set/rep and weight numbers.
Squat and deadlift have been increasing steadily so the real test will be breaking my bench plateau- although I’m not expecting my bench to be able to increase much more than 350 with my goal body weight after cut being +/-165.
Diet is also in check. My body responds best to a carb-restricted diet (as do my rats), with one or two high carb/low fat “re-feed” days per week. Will be cutting calories back and re-adjusting macro breakdown as I lose weight.
Eating between 2500-2700 cals
300g+ protein
130g fats
<50g carbs
NOW FOR THE CYCLE:
1-8wk Mk-2866 (Ostarine) @25mg/day
1-8wk S4 @50mg/day split into 2 doses (will split 5on/2off if vision sides occur- then potentially up dosing if I split to 5/2)
1-8wk Formastanzol @adjusting dosing as weeks progress
9-12wk Post Cycle/Unleashed combo @recommended dosing
Also will be using fish oil, multi vitamins, pre-workout supps, and creatine mono @5g/day throughout.
Might add GW @20mg/day and Need2Slin once PCT begins. Haven’t decided yet, nor have I purchased these two specifically…. yet.
Everything else is in my possession and Day 1 starts tomorrow 2/23/14!
This is my rat’s first run at anything “not-natty”, so I’m looking forward to it.
Also, I’ll be keeping the SARM’s lab a secret for now. I want to see what kind of results the rats get before people jump to any conclusions and share biased opinions about quality. I will release this information at the end of the cycle/log.
If anyone has any questions about this specific cycle or myself, please feel free to ask. I’ll provide a nice detailed response.
