SARMs (Selective Androgen Receptor Modulators) are designed to be more selective in targeting skeletal muscle, whereas steroids, though effective, are less selective and can cause a broader range of side effects, especially when used in high doses or for prolonged periods. While SARMs are a newer and less researched class of compounds, they are marketed as having fewer side effects while still promoting muscle growth.
Personal Experience with SARMs:
I ran a cycle of Ostarine, Cardarine, and MK-677 for 3 months. (Note: Cardarine and MK-677 are not technically SARMs, but they are often included in SARMs stacks.) Here’s what I used:
- Ostarine (50mg)
- Cardarine (10mg)
- MK-677 (25mg)
Results & Side Effects:
- Muscle Growth: Ostarine helped me gain muscle mass and strength. It was comparable to using 200mg of testosterone cypionate, and in some ways, I felt it might even be stronger in terms of muscle hardness and leanness, even while in a caloric surplus.
- Cardio & Stamina: Cardarine significantly improved my stamina and endurance during cardio sessions.
- Hunger & Water Retention: MK-677 caused extreme hunger and some water retention, but these were manageable and not debilitating.
- Side Effects: I didn’t experience any severe side effects. Minor issues included slight lethargy and mild test suppression, but no hair loss or liver damage symptoms. I didn’t use a testosterone base, only DHEA as an estrogen support.
- Conclusion on SARMs: Overall, I found SARMs to be highly effective with minimal side effects. The major downside is that SARMs and steroids cannot be used together, as SARMs can potentially displace steroids from the androgen receptor due to their selectivity.
