For new users, the world of SARMs can be overwhelming. I want to create a clear, simple **beginner's guide** to starting your first SARM cycle. What is the best SARM to start with, and what is a good first protocol? Let's walk through the steps: choosing a SARM, dosage, cycle length, and the all-important PCT. Keep it simple and focused on safety.
Ostarine (MK-2866) is the undisputed best SARM for a beginner. It's mild, the side effects are minimal, and it offers great recomp benefits. A good first cycle would be 8 weeks at 10-15mg/day. I would recommend having a SERM like Nolvadex on hand just in case, but many people don't need a full PCT with Ostarine. Keep your diet and training in check, and you will see good results.
I agree with Ostarine. The protocol from CycleCoach is solid. I would also add the importance of buying from a reputable, third-party tested source. That's probably the single most important piece of advice. A bad product can ruin your experience and your health. And remember, SARMs are not a magic pill. You still have to put in the work.
And to add to that: get blood work. Before and after the cycle. It's the only way to know how your body is responding and if you need a PCT. Don't rely on how you 'feel.' The blood work will tell you the truth. It's an investment in your health and safety.
Don't forget about diet and sleep. These are the foundations of any good protocol. A SARM can't fix a bad diet or a lack of sleep. Focus on getting enough protein, a moderate amount of carbs, and plenty of rest. Your gains and recovery will thank you.
And don't jump into a stack right away. Run a single SARM for your first cycle to see how your body reacts to it. If you stack multiple compounds, you won't know which one is causing what side effect. Keep it simple for your first run.
Awesome, this is a perfect summary. Ostarine, a good source, blood work, diet/sleep, and no stacking for the first cycle. This is the kind of info that will save new users a lot of headaches. Thanks, everyone!
For beginners Ostarine is the go-to because it's mild, effective and has a solid safety profile. You’d usually start with a dosage of 10-20mg per day split into 1-2 doses. A typical cycle length is around 8 weeks as it’s enough to see solid gains without pushing it too hard. Don’t forget after the cycle you’ll need PCT to get your natural test levels back up. A good PCT for Ostarine would be something like Nolvadex (20mg/day) for about 4 weeks. Stay consistent, eat right and train hard the results will come just be patient. Always listen to your body and if something feels off don’t hesitate to back off. Safety first gains second.
SARMs aren’t a shortcut keep your diet clean, hit the gym hard and get your recovery in. Stay hydrated stay on top of your health and you’ll see solid results.

Just a heads up brothers if you’re not running ostarine the right way you’re gonna run into some issues
If you skip PCT or mess around with dosages you’ll feel that drop in natural test fatigue, low libido and mood swings will hit you hard.
Even though it’s mild overdoing it or running it too long without proper care can leave your joints feeling like crap.
Running too many cycles back-to-back or going too high on the dose is just gonna suppress your natural test more than you want balance is key don’t go too hard too fast.
*REMEMBER* just because it’s beginner friendly doesn’t mean you can slack on the basics. Be cautious stay smart with your dosages and always listen to your body. Don’t rush the process and make sure you're taking care of your body the right way safety first gains second
