SARM Cycle 101: Building Muscle & Shredding Fat Like a Pro
The optimal cycle length and the number of cycles of SARMs (Selective Androgen Receptor Modulators) that someone can do in a year depend on several factors, including the specific SARM, the user’s experience level, and their health and goals. Here’s a general guideline, but it’s essential to approach SARMs with caution, as they can have side effects and require a post-cycle therapy (PCT) in many cases.
Typical SARM Cycle Length
- Beginner Cycle Length: 6-8 weeks.
- Intermediate to Advanced Cycle Length: 8-12 weeks.
Generally, users start with shorter cycles to assess their tolerance and response before moving to longer ones.
Frequency of Cycles Per Year
A common practice is to take a break equal to or greater than the length of the cycle to allow the body to recover. For example, if someone does an 8-week cycle, they might take at least an 8-week break afterward. This recovery period helps prevent hormonal imbalances and supports natural testosterone levels.
- Cycle Frequency: 2-3 cycles per year, depending on the cycle length and recovery periods.
- Extended Breaks: Many recommend taking a longer break after a couple of cycles to reset and assess overall health.
Post-Cycle Therapy (PCT)
Since SARMs can suppress natural testosterone levels, especially with longer or more intense cycles, a PCT is often recommended. A PCT typically lasts 4-6 weeks and involves supplements or medications to restore hormonal balance.
Key Considerations
- Health Monitoring: Regular blood work is essential to monitor liver enzymes, hormone levels, and lipid profiles.
- Goals and Adjustments: Each cycle may vary slightly based on goals, like bulking or cutting, and any side effects experienced.
It’s always a good idea to consult with a healthcare professional before starting any cycle.
