We are all looking to make progress and achieve the goals we set. Being able to obtain our goals in the most effective, yet safest manner, is imperative to ensure heath and longevity. Many of us find that time after time, plateaus are reached due to genetic limits we are born with. At this point, we look for an edge to exceed these plateaus. Anabolic-Androgenic Steroids (AAS) are often the first thing that comes to mind, but they are easy to misuse, abuse and are mostly misunderstood. Many will use them incorrectly and often abuse them with ludicrous dosages. Now, there are other, safer and just as effective options. I am going to provide information about one of these alternatives below.

Adding multiple compounds to a cycle needs to be done with precision and care. The general protocol with steroid use is to add methylated oral steroids to kick-start a cycle. Oral steroids can be extremely effective, but they come with serious side effects. Depending upon which oral steroid you opt to use, some side effects can be harsher than others. However, one underlying factor remains, regardless of your selection, side effects will be present and always shadowing your gains. The more oral steroids that are used, the greater the damage done. Having other options that provide steroid-like results without the side effects is highly desirable. In the past, these options were extremely limited; however, there is now an option for everyone to implement to accommodate this need. SARMS have presented themselves as the alternative to steroids without having the serious side effects of AAS. In particular, MK-2866 (Ostarine) has shown to be the most versatile SARM, with the best steroid-like results.


Benefits


MK-2866 has grown to be a key component in many post cycle therapy (PCT) protocols, but it is often overlooked on being added as part of a cycle. There are a multitude of benefits it can provide when ran in conjunction with anabolic steroids because MK-2866 is known for its versatility. It has shown several different beneficial properties that make it extremely desirable for users.


MK-2866 provides large increases in lean muscle, strength, healing, endurance and an overall sense of well being that allows a user to utilize maximum output on a daily basis in the gym. A property that is imperative to users is the healing benefits that it can provide. In comparison, many users utilize the steroid deca durabolin in a futile attempt to lubricate joints during a cycle. The problem with this usage is 1) the extensive amount of side effects present with deca durabolin and 2) the fact that deca merely acts a “band aid” to a wound as opposed to providing real healing benefits. Deca durabolin acts like a cortisone shot would, providing initial relief but ultimately leaving the user far worse off when deca is discontinued. This is due to the fact that a wound was simply masked while damage was still being done. With MK-2866, you are getting real healing benefits. Whether it is a new injury, a nagging injury, joint issues or bone issues, ostarine will help to enhance healing at a rapid pace. Recovery is crucial for any bodybuilder and MK-2866 provides this and much more. One can expect to see significant strength and lean muscle gains, up to 7-10 pounds, while dropping body fat in the process. As a result, MK is a no brainer for every cycle.


How to use


I have indicated several times how versatile MK-2866 can be. This characteristic makes use in any scenario beneficial, but there are two (2) circumstances that I would recommend the most for MK use.


CYCLE NOTE: A general 12 week cycle will be used as an example for these scenarios; however, numbers would adjust accordingly based on time.


(1) The first method would be as a kick-start to a cycle. The best way to kick-start a cycle would be to use MK-2866 for 10 weeks. By stopping at ten weeks, you are allowing yourself a 4 weeks rest period until you begin post cycle therapy (PCT), and you could implement MK-2866 into your PCT. Dosing would stay at 25 mg per day throughout.

(2) The second way to utilize MK-2866 would be to begin use at week 7 and continue use all the way through PCT. You would then be using MK-2866 for 12 weeks consecutively at 25 mg per day. These two methods would be the most ideal on a standard 12 week cycle.

As a general rule, MK-2866 (ostarine) should be ran consecutively for 8-12 week increments with a 4 week rest period.

Side Effects


I will briefly touch on the side effects associated with MK-2866 as they are quite minimal. Trace amounts of suppression can be seen with extended use of 6-8 weeks; however it is extremely minimal and some report none whatsoever. It would not be noticeable in any way on a testosterone based cycle. The only other concern, which is extremely rare, is slight gyno irritation. This is rarely reported and generally of no concern.


Conclusion


It is clear to see the multitude of benefits of incorporating MK-2866 into your cycle. From the strength and lean muscle increase, to the healing and recovery benefits, MK-2866 is quickly becoming a staple ingredient for everyone. Implementing it into your cycle will enhance your gains to an even higher extent. In addition, it will provide benefits that will allow you to make gains that you would not have been able to achieve without adding it.
