Ya a lot to think about almost a waist of a post by its self..
Before? How long before? 5 years 5 months - many years. Not since he was in college
Age? - 48
Duration of time between blood work? - pre and post osta run
How many cycles ran in between? - one cycle of ostarine - 35 days
What else was he taking? - nothing
Was he taking ostarine or s4? - Ostarine
Why should we trust this newbie including yourself? - Because I have nothing to gain by posting this. I am not selling anything, providing links to other sites or anything else. I am simply sharing information that was taken from another site. No, I haven't taken Osta yet, but my order is on it's way. Also, I never said this guy was 100% reliable, I simply said that this is what he had to say about it. He had no plans to run any BW when he started the cycle, he only only ran it because we asked him to.
Any past trauma in his live? I don't know, I never asked.
Is he taking medication? Nothing was changed from pre to post cycle
Is he taking any new medication? same as above
Do you know how much it cost just to have labs ran? $90
I promise you his insurance didn't cover it 3 months apart..
and he had it ran twice just to find out if ostarine is suppressive, sorry i call BS
I love how you can have clinical studies proving it doesn't affect Hormone levels
and all these children that know nothing can just post whatever they want...
The funniest thing is people believe them..
The last person that told me it suppressed them just happen to forget he ran a pro hormone 1 month prier.. That was pretty stupid of them and just not very honest.
I'm not trying to be an ass but don't take the shit you read seriously especially if they have less then 800 post and never ran a real cycle... I'm on my first cycle now Test E + Dbol. Not a ton of experience, but I have been on that other board reading and researching since 2005. not that that makes me an expert by any means, nor am I calling out anybodies knowledge. Also, i am not saying that a single person saying something on a forum is better than a solid pubmed search and article review, but at how high of a dose was ostarine being run in that study you are referring to?
I bet he just happen to forget he ran winny...lol Possible, but i doubt it.
Did you know that deca could be found in your system after 8 months of not using it... Yes, i did.
Bolds.
Osta, I am not trying to argue with you by any means. You are a great board sponsor and i can't wait to receive my Osta, I am just trying to share something that was posted elsewhere to assist with the ever growing knowledge base in this great forum. I hope that doesn't offend you.
Max - I apologize for the hijacking of your thread. Please, keep me up to date in the future. I hope that osta doesn't prove to be suppressive.
Every one is going to have a different experience with it.. I think you just got me on a bad day, I'm sorry for that dragged out post... good luck with your research.
I have a friend who is VERY WELL versed in sports supps, medicine, competition drugs, etc... who has been off for about 4 months... he plans on having full metabolic panel done soon, will start OSTA-GAIN, and have new panels done 4-6 wks after initial dose...this will be some of the most clear cut strong evidence on this compound... I am looking at restarting pct while still on the OSTA-GAIN...
Interested in seeing this for sure...I will certainly use this when I get off for a few months later this year.
What are thoughts on using this when on HRT? Say, adding 25 mg a day to 200mg test cyp, 12.5mg exemestane and 2iu gh daily?
Figured I would conclude this log, finished up a little over a wk ago, overall, very impressed... to be honest, for my goals now, almost like this more than a small low dosed cycle... overall, just felt better... one side effect I had was acid reflux, could or could not have been related, but some cissus helped that out, no big deal.
Very lean gains, and most importantly, one of best recomp agents I have ever taken , period! I wish I could have gotten better blood results both before and after, but tough with it being in my pct the whole time and not having starting point...
Max - Any further research with this compound? Maybe while on low dose? Considering adding this while tapering off prior to getting off maybe...OR would it be better used while off? On test/mast/gh/primo/hcg now...soon to drop off primo then mast then hcg...just test/gh while tapering and thought to either add this in at that point...or after off for a couple weeks and doing PCT add this in...? Thoughts?
Oh and did he trust his source?
On this subject, I'd just like to point out something I've noticed on your website **broken link removed** gain.com/sarms/osta-gain . I'm looking at buying ostarine, but not andarine, and here you list the molar mass of your 'ostarine' as 441g/mol - the precise molar mass of Andarine, S-4 (ostarine, MK-2866 has a molar mass of 389). This referenced picture from wikipedia explains the difference
http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/5/51/2010-04-23_Ostarine_vs_Andarine.TIF (the molecular weight can of course be calculated from the periodic table). Please enlighten me on this.
Also Max, I was surprised to read that this substance was supressive, and gave you acne. GTx says on their website specifically that ostarine does not affect the skin. I'm not making any accusations, but there has been some suggestion of 'fake' products, e.g. a weak dose of a dbol/other steroid in suspension, being sold as ostarine - does anybody have any knowledge on this issue? Any thoughts or experiences would be appreciated
what you are referring to is the "molecular weight"...

back in town last night from work trip... got a summary of blood panel back...
Everything was in normal ranges...other than Test.
Test was lowest it ever has been with me (95), to be honest though, this could simply be that my pct was not long enough...a 5 wk pct regimen might not be cutting it as long as I have been competing, etc... funny part though was with my sex drive fine, absolutely zero ED issues, "volume", great workouts, etc... I thought I would be well within normal ranges... I will keep an eye on it and restart pct...
also, my cholesterol was a little off compared to my normal low cholesterol... LDL - 100, HDL - 34 total 150
I will get full write up asap...
Any postmortem thoughts on your higher then normal cholesterol?
