What are SARMs: What Kind of Results Can You Expect?
SARMs, short for selective androgen receptor modulators, are a new form of research chemical that thousands of bodybuilders across the world are using.
They have a number of benefits
including:
- Promote Lean Muscle Growth
- Enhance Athletic Performance
- Increase Strength Gains
- Encourage Fat Loss
Many athletes have been using them as of late, and they’ve been a recent topic of much discussion. Just what are these selective androgen receptor modulators, how do they work, and what results can you expect from them, though?
What are SARMs?
As we published previously here on Guidelines Health, SARMs are supplements that engance the levels of androgens, or male hormones, in the user’s body.
They do this by binding to androgen receptors, which then signals your body to start building more muscle, while also signaling it to start shredding fat.
SARMs were originally developed in the 1900’s as a way to help cancer patients suffering from muscle loss cope. They were quickly shelved however, until research resumed in the 1990’s.
After ample testing and clinical research, Ligand Pharmaceuticals, launched one of the first versions of SARMS that we now know as LGD-4033, or Ligandrol for short.
Since then, users have gotten incredible results from SARMs like Ligandrol, Ostarine, Testolone, and more. Now, let’s take a moment to look at the results you can expect to get, too.
SARMs Results to Expect
When using SARMs, many users can expect to gain up to 30 pounds of muscle in just several months. This amount will change however, depending on how experienced you are.
If you’ve been lifting weights and studying nutrition for a long time, the results you’ll get from your cycle will be quite astounding and probably similar to the picture above.
In fact, the Ostarine before and after article that Jon Anthony posted on his blog, Masculine Development, are probably some of the best results that you can expect from a cycle.
He says that he gained 21 pounds of muscle and lost 12 pounds of fat, by following a simple beginner’s SARMs cycle of Ostarine, LGD 4033 and Cardarine.
Not everyone will get these results, but the more that you learn about health and fitness, the better the results you’ll get from your cycle.
Best SARMS for you will vary depending on your individual needs. Each one of these research chemicals has different effects, strengths, and weaknesses.
RAD 140, or Testolone, for example, is easily the SARM for building muscle and increasing overall strength. Ostarine or MK-2866 comes in at a close second.
For shredding fat, Ligandrol and Cardarine are supreme. They selectively target certain androgen receptors that will help you burn fat, while avoiding common side effects.
If you’re looking for a SARMs stack, many users experience great results while stacking a moderate dosage of RAD 140 and Ostarine together, for 90 days.
