    Default SARMS - What they Can Do.

    theguerillachemist

    There is a lot of information on SARMs on the Internet, some is decent but most is grossly inaccurate. This is my opinion on them as muscle builders and their purpose in bodybuilding. First off, these were all developed by pharmaceutical companies, which means a ton of time and MONEY($millions easily) went into developing these compounds. This begs the obvious question: why were they looking into to begin with? SARMs were first investigated with the purpose of attempting to separate the anabolic activities from the androgenic effects of AAS. Steroids are prescribed for a bunch of reasons, including anemia, burn victim healing, cachexia, as well as hormone replacement.

    If you have a female burn victim or cancer patient, you want the anabolic effects of muscle building and preventing muscle loss, but you don't want to go bald, get severe acne and experience virilization. SARMs are safe for women in the doses used in the literature. They have to be or they would lose 50% of the target demographic. However, when I see people using 50mg of Ostarine stacked with 20mg of LDG, these doses are not only very high, but they don't really bring out the benefits of why these compounds were made- to have a safe oral anabolic. At high doses, the androgenic and cardiovascular effects start to manifest and this completely defeats the purpose. From my research and experience with them(I worked on SARMs in grad school) I find that using them in a low dose manner is the safest way to increase lean muscle. SARMs are a slow and steady type of drug.

    Most studies show them to be virtually side effect free(at low doses) for at least 3 months. I posted before about the negative impact LGD and Ostarine can have on your cholesterol at the low doses used, imagine if you are taking 10-15x the dose(clinical dose for LGD was <1mg). I think SARMs have their place for women and men, however you need to educate yourself. Small doses over time will lead to increases in LBM and possible decreases in body fat. Some people "bridge" with SARMs. I don't believe in bridging bc you're never really "off" and you're still activating the AR, but low dose SARM can be used to bridge safely in place of TRT.

    At the low doses for a slow and steady cycle do they shut you down? I have read that they don't or at least aren't supposed to but than I have read from users that they do shut you down.

    I have been considering SARMS recently, I have done one 16 week test only cycle and I am nearing the end of a 12 week test and mast cycle. I really didn't get out of it what I was expecting, I mean I definitely put on some visible muscle, but I was hoping for more of a sense of well being or maybe even euphoria especially with the masteron. In my opinion having to mess with needles and injections every few days wasn't worth the outcome. A lot of things I have read about SARMS say that the sides are worse than steroids and you are better off just injecting real gear. Would you consider this true or do you get positive results with less sides from SARMS?

    No, the entire point of sarms are that theyre no where near as bad as steroids when it comes to side effects. For the most part theyre side effect free. Abusing them as with anything can cause side effects, and the only sides im familiar with are the yellow tinting night vision effect from dosages exceeding the norm or recommended

    This is a legit question and outhere are hundreds of labs selling pills and nobody is checking whats inside... I think only traditional roids... Also not same as 20-30 years ago but at least, you know what to expect...

    Good read, thanks for this nice thread. With the same positive effects as prohormones, but with a safer approach, SARMs could attain that perfect balance between safety and effectiveness. SARMs are unique because, unlike steroids and other prohormones, they have the ability to target specific parts of the body such as muscle tissue. Given the minimal side effects so far, SARMs are quickly gaining popularity.Not only do SARMs help with muscle mass, but they also help with overall workout performance. Unlike steroids, prohormones, and other androgen-charged drugs, SARMs offer a gentler approach with similar results. With a better anabolic-to-androgenic ratio than other supplements, they’re able to more effectively assist the body in building and retaining muscle.
