How Long Should a SARM Cycle Be? Beginner SARM Cycles • Length: 6–8 weeks • Popular SARMs: Ostarine (MK-2866), LGD-4033 (Ligandrol), RAD-140 (Testolone) • Why: Easier recovery, lower suppression risk early on. Intermediate Cycles • Length: 8–10 weeks • Stacking: Usually involves 2 SARMs (e.g., RAD + S4, or LGD + MK-677) • Note: Suppression risk increases; bloodwork and post-cycle therapy (PCT) are crucial. Advanced Cycles • Length: 10–12 weeks (rarely more, unless bridging to TRT) • SARMs: Heavily suppressive ones like YK-11 or S23 might be added here. • PCT: Non-negotiable. Key Takeaways • Bloodwork: Always check your liver, lipids, and hormones before and after. • Cycle Length: The more suppressive the SARM, the shorter and more cautious the cycle should be. • PCT: Usually recommended after anything longer than 4 weeks, even for “mild” SARMs. Example from Logs • RAD-140 at 10 mg/day for 8 weeks: ◦ Mid-cycle test: Total T tanked. ◦ User ran Nolva 20/20/10/10 post-cycle and recovered baseline in ~4 weeks. Bottom Line 6–8 weeks is standard for most SARMs. Push to 10–12 only if you know how to manage suppression and recovery. Always do bloodwork.
