+ 3 11 Week Ostarine Cut - Losing Fat, Gaining Muscle
I'm half way through my 12 week cut with Ostarine. I'm taking in between 1500-1700 net calories a day. I'm running a cyclical keto diet and my macros are around 5c/45p/50f. I indiscriminately carb up Friday afternoon through Saturday.
I've been dosing my Ostarine at 12-13mg/day (.4ml). I'm lifting heavy for low reps 3 days a week and my strength is slowly increasing. I do 30 mins of low intensity cardio twice a week.
I started at 16.8% bodyfat with 30lbs fat mass
6 weeks later I'm at 12.9% bodyfat with 22.7lbs (-7.3lbs) fat mass and lean mass has increased by 4.2lbs.
Goal at week 12 is <10% bodyfat (somewhere I've never been near in the past) and keep my weight at or above 170lbs.
I've never tried to cut before, so I don't know if the Ostarine is aiding in the recomp but I've always been under the impression that gaining muscle in a calorie deficit wasn't possible.
I'll update this again with my 11 week results.

Ostarine is definitely shutting me down. I've added my baseline and 12week Ostarine bloods to the pictures. I'm sitting at 167lbs now and really don't want to go much lower. Due to a work trip coming up, I'm going to end this cut a week early on 9/5. Will update then with another body composition analysis.
Being shut down, I am going to run a 4 weeks of Nolvadex @ 20/20/10/10 starting 9/13/14.
Good work. Do you feel any shut down on the ostarine?
Thanks! Not at all, last blood test I had done was 2 weeks into my Osta suppmentation and my testosterone was about 80 ng/dL lower on the Osta than my baseline (846 baseline, 764 2 weeks on Osta). I'll get bloods done again before I come off to see what 12 weeks on Osta does to my test.
+1 for bloods. I haven't used this off cycle in fear of possible shut down, thanks brother.
Does that shit mess with eye sight? Good job on the results!
I believe that's a side effect of S4. Osta is reportedly very mild as far as side effects and I've noticed none personally.
Yes your Right s4.
wow that is interesting so you dropped 4 % BF in 6 weeks. i know you are taking in very lil calories but i like what you are acheiving +2 sent you a FR
Hey thanks. I'm sure BIA isn't the most accurate but at least I'm going in the right direction. I've never tried to cut before but this isn't too bad. I'm sure getting into the single digits will not be as fun but we'll see where I end up in 6 more weeks!
i have been looking at Ostarine for a while now. i finally pulled the trigger. i like everything i read about it. do you have any before and after pics or will you be posting some?
I'll get some up this weekend if not before. How are you going to use your Osta?
i haven't decided on a dose yet. I will be running it solo to get a real good feel from it. i was thinking anywhere between 15-25mg daily
