Feel free to discuss anything SARM related.
To avoid the obvious questions and comments:
>are SARMs steroids?
Short answer, no. They're not nearly as effective, generally don't give nearly as many sides, are much less tested (though ostarine is in phase 3 testing), and are perfectly legal. Many will consider you non-natty for taking them and are considered doping by most if not all sports organizations.
>are there risks
There's risks for everything. Anecdotal and what clinical evidence there is suggests there's no major lasting side effects for many SARMs. However, SARMs have not been thoroughly tested in humans.
>Do I need to PCT
Depends who you ask. Some will say yes. Some will say no. It's better to stay on the safe side.
Ostarine is fucking amazing
Never heard of this before but sounds interesting.
I'll try reading about ostarine since you mentioned that. Any material, sites, booklets, infographs, etc you would recommend in general on the subject?

who the fuck was in charge of drawing this structure, a biochemist? the portrayal of the stereochemistry looks fugly
>>39922496
/fraud/ usually has 2-3 good discussions on SARMs a thread.
There's not a wealth of information on them yet but I'd strongly recommend looking up ostarine logs. Also, anything by Dylan M. isn't necessarily wrong but he's a blatant shill who isn't to be trusted.

Er dylan g.
What's the best sarm/stack for recomp?
If I'm looking to increase muscle mass/bone density, and possibly increasing cardio endurance or at least not sacrificing it. Fat loss too, obviously.
Also best SARM source? So many sites are shady as shit. And PCT recommendations?
>>39922681
Ostarine with S-4 is pretty good for a recomp.
You don't need much for sarm PCTs, maybe a couple weeks on 20mg nolva
>>39922681
x2 on the source. i know not to use Sarms1 though.
What do people mean when they say Ostarine's "very suppressive"?

The main difference between SARMs such as ostarine, LGD, RAD140, S4, and taking steroids, such as testosterone, dianabol, tren, anavar (at high doses), etc, is that sarms will/should not completely shut down your hypothalamuses production of Leutenising Hormone and Follicle Stimulating hormone.
That being said, at high doses and for long periods, these drugs *will* cause a significant drop in total testosterone production.
RAD140 is especially harsh, with some peoples bloodwork showing their test levels dropping 75% in as little as 2 weeks. However, you are intaking a synthetic androgen that is fulfilling most of the roles of test in the body, and at a higher dose than your body would produce test (not to mention RAD and LGD bind more strongly to the androgen receptor than test, and are more anabolic mg:mg).
After a few/several weeks of low test, you may begin to feel generally sluggish, even if your gains have increased and are continuing to gain muscle and strength.
