ANDRIOL (Testosterone Undecanoate)

Andriol History and Overview

Andriol, which is the brand name and trade name for Testosterone Undecanoate, is an oral Testosterone product. It is oil-based and manufactured in the form of gel capsules. It is vastly different from other oral anabolic steroids in a few different ways. First and foremost, other oral anabolic steroid products are almost always C-17 alpha alkylated (also known as methylation). This is a process whereby a methyl group is affixed to the 17^th carbon on the Testosterone (or other anabolic steroid) compound, which allows the hormone to survive the first pass through the liver, thereby allowing it to be orally bioavailable so that the user can use it orally. The downside to this modification is that C-17 alpha alkylation almost always presents a degree of liver toxicity (hepatotoxicity) and strain, thereby limiting the length of use and/or maximum dosage. Andriol does not possess C-17 alpha alkylation despite it being an orally active form of Testosterone.

Instead, Andriol is an esterified form of Testosterone (Testosterone Undecanoate), whereby it is affixed to an extremely long fatty acid chain ester. Research has demonstrated that when Andriol is consumed (especially in the presence of dietary fats), the high lipophilic nature of it allows at least partial absorption via the body’s lymphatic system through the gastrointestinal tract. Although Andriol is not liver toxic at all, there are some disadvantages to its nature. Because it relies on fat solubility to be absorbed in the body, research has shown that Androl’s oral bioavailability is around 7%.

Andriol was originally developed and pioneered by the pharmaceutical manufacturer Organon in the early 1980s. In addition to its brand name Andriol, it was also branded under the names Virigen, Undestor, Restandol, Panteston, and Androxon in various regions and countries throughout the world. Its intended use was that of a Testosterone replacement therapy (TRT) drug for men that manufacture inadequate levels of natural Testosterone. Despite this fact, Andriol is still not approved on the prescription drug market in the United States, but it is available in Canada and Mexico. Andriol is intended to be a TRT alternative to Testosterone injections (such as Testosterone Enanthate or Testosterone Cypionate), and thereby act as a much more convenient form of administration for some that may not prefer injections.

Originally, Andriol had to be kept under refrigeration when in storage. Thankfully, in the early 2000s, Organon formulated a new Androl product, known as Andriol Testocaps, which allowed the drug to be maintained at room temperature without any degradation of product. Individuals should keep in mind, however, that at room temperature, Andriol Testocaps hold a shelf-life of about 3 years (as opposed to the old Andriol shelf-life of 3 months). Andriol gel capsules are concentrated at a dosage of 40mg per gel cap.

Andriol’s availability is pretty widespread, but its use among athletes and bodybuilders is very far and few in between. This is due to the fact that Andriol’s disadvantage is that of very poor and very low oral bioavailability combined with a relatively high cost for this compound. Bodybuilders and athletes have therefore always opted for the more dependable, cheaper, and easily-accessible injectable Testosterone products and formulations that provide far higher (near-100%) bioavailability.

Andriol is designed to exhibit a peak Testosterone level in the body only a few hours after ingestion, and after repeated dosing over the first couple of weeks, steady and stable peak blood plasma concentrations should be maintained for 24 hours after each administration.

Andriol Chemical Characteristics

As previously mentioned, Andriol is merely an esterified variant of Testosterone, whereby Testosterone has been affixed with the Undecanoate ester at the 17-beta hydroxyl group. It is vastly different from all other oral anabolic steroids because it does not contain methylation (C-17 alpha alkylation) on the 17^th carbon, and therefore does not exhibit any of the negative effects on the liver that C-17 alpha alkylated compounds do. It also does not exhibit the same method of absorption and avoidance of the first pass of the liver that C-17 alpha alkylated oral compounds do. Instead, because of Andriol’s very long-chain fatty acid ester, it is extremely lipophilic and enters the body via the lymphatic system through the GI tract.

Andriol Side Effects

Being that Andriol is a Testosterone product, it does carry with it all of the major side effects of Testosterone in general.

Estrogenic side effects are the first in particular to usually affect the user. Testosterone undergoes a moderate rate of aromatization (conversion) into Estrogen in the body via interaction with the aromatase enzyme. This means that blood plasma levels of Estrogen can and do build up with the use of Andriol, and Estrogenic side effects can result. Estrogenic side effects include: retention and/or gain of body fat, bloating and water retention, heightened blood pressure (as a result of water retention), and the potential for developing gynecomastia (breast tissue). It is recommended that individuals using Andriol look into the possibility of using some form of anti-estrogen during a cycle, or at the very least have anti-estrogens on hand in the event that Estrogenic side effects become prominent.

The next major Andriol side effects include androgenic side effects. These are masculinizing and male secondary sex characteristic related side effects. Being that Andriol is Testosterone, and Testosterone is the primary male androgen, it has direct influence on androgenic side effects. Furthermore, the high androgenicity of Testosterone products is more attributable to its reduction (or conversion) into Dihydrotestosterone (DHT), which is a far more potent androgen than Testosterone itself. In this case, the use of a 5-alpha reductase inhibitor can mitigate androgenic side effects by way of preventing or reducing the conversion of Testosterone into DHT. Androgenic side effects include: increases in aggression, increased body hair growth, increased oily skin secretions, deepening of the voice, and possible male pattern baldness (MPB) in those men that are genetically predisposed to it.

Testosterone, like any and all other anabolic steroids, can and will suppress natural endogenous Testosterone production. Testosterone suppression is a very real fact of anabolic steroid use, which is why it is important to limit cycle lengths and engage in proper Post Cycle Therapy (PCT) protocol following the termination of an anabolic steroid cycle. Failure to do so can potentially result in permanent Testosterone suppression for life.

Negative cardiovascular effects are also a concern. Research has shown that while Testosterone used in therapeutic dosages for the treatment of TRT in men are unlikely to increase the risk of cardiovascular problems (and might even possibly improve cholesterol profiles), the use of Testosterone at performance enhancing dosages does result in a decrease of HDL (the ‘good’ cholesterol). Furthermore, when combined with aromatase inhibitors, research and studies have shown that the negative effects on the cardiovascular system increase by a dramatic degree.

Andriol, due to its vastly different mechanism of action compared to C-17 alpha alkylated oral anabolic steroids, presents absolutely no hepatotoxic effects. For example, one study analyzed Andriol’s potential for liver toxicity by attempting high dosages on test subjects (400mg daily) for 20 days, and Andriol generated no notable changes in liver enzyme readings during the study. This also includes patients who have been administered the drug in the long-term (a decade or longer).

Dosing and Administration of Andriol

Medically, Andriol dosages are prescribed in the range of 120 – 160 mg per day for the first 2 to 3 weeks. Following this initial period, prescription guidelines call for a reduction of Andriol dosage to a maintenance schedule of 40 – 120mg per day.

For performance and physique enhancement, the Andriol dosage must understandably be far greater. A minimum of 250mg per day is required (5 capsules) to see any measurable effect, and many individuals claim that the results at this range are on the low end. Commonly, Andriol is used at a dosage of 400 – 500 (10 – 14 capsules) per day. Advanced or experienced users may require even higher dosages than that. When stacked with other anabolics, the lower range is observed to be effective.

Due to the lipophilic nature of Andriol’s pharmacology, it is recommended that Andriol dosages be administered with the consumption of food / meals, ideally with a higher fat content in order to maximize its absorption in the body through the lymphatic system. When taken on an empty stomach, studies have demonstrated extremely low absorption and bioavailability of Andriol. Andriol dosages should also be split into two evenly spaced dosages (e.g. morning and evening) in order to maintain steady and stable blood serum levels of Testosterone.

Andriol Cycles and Uses

Andriol cycles should generally follow the same guidelines as cycles of any other Testosterone products, though Andriol may have to be dosed higher due to its poor bioavailability. It can be used on its own in a solitary cycle, or used as a base Testosterone compound while other anabolic steroids are used. Cycle lengths of Andriol can range from 8 weeks to 12 weeks or more. As stated earlier, it is not a very popular Testosterone product for the purpose of performance or physique enhancement among bodybuilders and athletes, and it is very rare to come across much information in regards to Andriol cycles.

Beginners may be tempted to opt for Andriol due to its convenience as an oral Testosterone product, but even this is a rare occurrence. Beginner Andriol cycles would usually involve Andriol dosed at 300mg per day for 8 – 12 weeks.

If any experienced athletes do elect to use Andriol, they usually run Andriol cycles that involve a low TRT dosage of Andriol in the background for mere support of essential bodily function, while other stronger anabolic steroids are utilized as the workhorse compounds of the cycle. These can include compounds such as Winstrol (Stanozolol), Nandrolone (Deca-Durabolin), Trenbolone, or Anavar (Oxandrolone).

And while we do not encourage or discourage the use of anabolic substances or PED’s… we know many want to use them and are always looking for a safe, legitimate vendor for these products. With that in mind, we can tell you that most of the professional bodybuilders and other competition athletes we know of use one trusted supplier, and you can email them here to request their product / price list if you seek a trusted source for high quality products.

With that said, we wish you luck in your fitness endeavors. If you find you need help with any bodybuilding or fitness issues you may feel free to contact us and we will help you if we can!

MASTERON (Drostanolone)

What Is Masteron?

Masteron is an oil-based steroid that is administered via injection.

The company Syntex developed this steroid back in the late 1950s, but it didn’t hit the commercial markets until the 70s.

Yes, that’s right, Masteron was once a legal steroid like many before it and some after it.

It was actually available for around two decades.

It wasn’t however, used primarily by athletes or bodybuilders, nor was it designed to promote muscle growth and increased athletic ability.

No.

In reality, Masteron was used as part of breast cancer treatment.

This steroid is considered to be a ‘designer steroid’ that is seen as exotic, rare, and powerful.

Primarily it was created to serve as an anti-Estrogen that was used alongside SERMs to help treat breast cancer.

For women undergoing treatment, Estrogen levels did, in fact, drop very sharply.

Soon, however, users began to notice increases in weight, muscle mass, and strength.

As this is an anti-estrogen steroid, you can probably guess already that it does not aromatize and convert to estrogen.

Despite this, however, it still possesses many androgenic and anabolic properties, though some see it as being not a very strong androgen.

This is an incorrect assumption as…

Masteron is actually very strong!

And even though the anabolic/androgenic ratio of Masteron is only 62:25; while testosterone is the baseline at 100:100. Do not let these numbers fool you into thinking Masteron is weak. There isn’t a better hardener out there, but it is true that if ran alone, Masteron will be woefully inadequate for gains. It works best when stacked with aromatizing steroids.

Masteron is extremely popular in bodybuilding; in fact, it’s used in cutting, hardening, and even as an aromatase inhibitor (AI). This makes it a great choice as a finisher during a cycle; though, it should always be stacked with other steroids to get the most benefits out of it. It is an especially good choice when stacked with aromatizing compounds like testosterone and dianabol because it works in synergy to counteract estrogen based water weight.

Masteron does shut natural testosterone production down so PCT is always required, no matter what.

Masteron Benefits:

Masteron Cycle – Benefits, Side Effects, and Dosage

Up next we’re going to take a look at a few common benefits associated with running a cycle.

These include:

1. Increased Muscle Mass

Okay, if you compare this steroid to something more potent and powerful such as testosterone suspension, Trenbolone, or Winstrol, for example, it perhaps isn’t as impressive for somebody looking to bulk up and pack on the muscle mass.

However, not everybody is looking to transform themselves into a mass monster and if the genetic freak look isn’t for you, Masteron is ideal.

This steroid will help you to build lean muscle mass in a relatively short amount of time.

The exact amounts, of course, vary from user to user, but generally speaking, those using Masteron can expect to gain anything from 10 pounds to 20 pounds during a cycle.

2. Aesthetics

The world of bodybuilding is slowly changing.

It seems as if people are no longer as obsessed with the enormous mass monsters dominating the stages with their HGH growth guts or what called Palumboism, and people are instead more interested in lean, muscular, aesthetically-pleasing physiques.

For most, an aesthetically-pleasing physique is ripped, muscular, defined, and very lean with a small and tight waist.

Most aesthetically-pleasing bodybuilders are closer to 200 pounds than 300 pounds.

This is where Masteron proves especially useful.

You see, Masteron is a steroid that promotes fat loss, lean muscle growth, and lean, dry physiques.

It does not aromatize so there are no common Estrogenic side effects like water retention.

This is very important for a bodybuilder looking to bring his best look to the stage.

3. Great For Cutting

If you’re looking to bulk up, Masteron probably isn’t for you.

If however, you’re looking to cut and get ripped and defined before stepping on stage or taking part in a photoshoot, Masteron is perfect.

Many bodybuilders will utilize Masteron as part of their cutting cycle in a bid to look as lean, ripped, and muscular as they possibly can when they step on stage to compete.

If your cutting cycle is lacking something, Masteron could be it.

4. Improved Energy And Endurance

When you cut down and diet for a contest, your caloric intake will be naturally lower than you are used to.

This will result in you experiencing low energy levels.

When your energy levels are low, you’ll feel tired, lethargic, and unmotivated.

For people looking to hit the gym and train, this is a very big problem.

So, what can be done?

Well, other than relying on copious amounts of coffee and pre-workout supplements, an effective way of countering these lapses in energy is to use Masteron.

Masteron is a steroid which has been found to help ramp up the metabolism and promote steady increases in energy and endurance.

From an athletic perspective, this is obviously very beneficial indeed.

Masteron Cycle:

Now it’s time for us to take a look at a sample cycle of Masteron.

Before you even consider using Masteron or any other steroids for that matter, it’s absolutely essential that you know how to use Masteron correctly.

Here’s a look at a sample Masteron or two for you to consider:

1. Beginner Cycle

If you wish to begin with a low dosage of Masteron, it is recommended that you follow the upcoming cycle.

Typically, injections should be performed every other day.

Per week, you should aim for very low dosages, so 200mg – 300mg per week is about right.

Results will not be dramatic, but they will be noticeable.

2. Intermediate Cycle

If you feel that you’re ready to step it up a gear, you could consider running the following intermediate cycle instead.

This cycle is still very tolerable and will provide much more noticeable results.

Again, injections should be performed every other day.

With this cycle, you should aim for between 300mg and 500mg per week.

3. Masteron Enanthate Cycle

This next cycle is for those of you using Masteron Enanthate.

With this cycle, you should inject yourself twice each week.

Dosages here should be between 400mg and 600mg per week.

So, to make it easy for you, your first injection of the week should be 200mg or 300mg, and your second injection should also be 200mg or 300mg.

Masteron Side Effects:

Like all steroid-related articles, we know it wouldn’t be complete without us taking a detailed look at some of the side effects associated with this steroid.

Though this steroid is fairly well tolerated when compared with others, it is still a steroid and it still poses numerous risks.

Here’s a look at some common side effects associated with Masteron.

1. Hair Loss

If you are genetically predisposed to hair loss, I.E, if baldness or hair loss runs in your family, taking this steroid, could speed up the rate in which your hair falls out.

It won’t make regular individuals bald, but it can speed up the rate at which you lose your precious locks.

2. Suppressed Hair Growth

Another possible side effect of this steroid is suppressed hair growth.

Basically, if you are growing your hair you may want to give this steroid a miss as it will likely cause your hair to grow at a much slower rate.

If however, you wish to save money on haircuts, as your hair will be growing at a much slower rate, you’ll likely save yourself a decent amount.

3. Mood Swings

Okay, we’ve all heard about ‘roid rage’ but is there any truth to it?

If the TV shows are to be believed, using steroids will cause mild-mannered and polite young boys to transform into angry psychopaths.

That is not the case at all.

Steroids can enhance certain moods and emotions, so if you normally feel slightly irritated at little things, steroids could cause you to feel more irritated than usual.

Using this steroid could cause you to feel slightly more emotional than usual, and you may experience mood swings, so just bear that in mind.

4. Testosterone Suppression

One of the worse side effects of this steroid is the fact that it has been found to suppress the natural production of testosterone within the body.

In fact, some steroid cycles including this drug can even result in a complete shut down of the testosterone-producing system.

When this occurs, medical attention must be sought out and it may result in the individual being forced to receive testosterone replacement therapy for the rest of their days.

This is why PCT is so important.

5. Increased Risk Of Infection

Other than the pain of injecting of any kind of injectable steroids, the other major downside to injecting steroids as opposed to consuming them orally is the fact that injections are more susceptible to infection.

All it takes is one wrong injection, or one slightly dirty needle or injection site, and you run the risk of suffering from an infected injection site.

This can be very painful, it may result in surgery being required, and in extreme cases, it could result in the loss of limbs.

Masteron Dosage:

Yes, we know we’ve already looked at a few sample Masteron cycle, but now just to refresh your memory we’ll very quickly go over the required dosages for this drug.

Per week, you should aim for between 200mg and 600mg.

The exact amount you consume will depend on which cycle you are following and what you’re looking to get from your cycle.

Is PCT Required?

First off, when it comes to steroids and post cycle therapy, PCT is always required.

As Masteron does not aromatize, estrogenic side effects are less likely.

Therefore, Nolvadex should be sufficient enough when it comes to your PCT.

In terms of dosages, you should run Nolva at 40mgs per day for 4 weeks, so:

Nolva – 40/40/40/40

With that said, we wish you luck in your fitness endeavors. If you find you need help with any bodybuilding or fitness issues you may feel free to contact us and we will help you if we can!

EQUIPOISE (Boldenone Undecylenate)

Description

Equipoise is the most commonly recognized trade name for boldenone undecylenate, an injectable veterinary steroid that exhibits strong anabolic and moderately androgenic properties. The undecylenate ester extends the activity of the drug greatly (the undecylenate ester is only one carbon atom longer than decanoate), so that injections need to be repeated only once every three or four weeks. The well-balanced anabolic and androgenic properties of this drug are greatly appreciated by athletes, who generally consider it to be a stronger, slightly more androgenic, alternative to Deca-Durabolin^®. It is generally cheaper, and could replace Deca in most cycles without greatly changing the end result. Boldenone undecylenate is also commonly known as a drug capable of increasing red blood cell production, although there should be no confusion that this is an effect characteristic of nearly all anabolic-androgenic steroids (AAS).

How Supplied

Boldenone undecylenate is an injectable medication. It is usually prepared as 25 mg/mL, 50 mg/mL or 200 mg/mL of steroid dissolved in oil.

Effective Dosages

Although it stays active for a much longer time, boldenone undecylenate is injected at least weekly for physique- or performance-enhancing purposes. It is most commonly used at a dosage of 200-400 milligrams per week (men). The dosage schedule can be further divided to reduce the volume of each injection if necessary, perhaps administering the drug two to three times per week. One should also take caution to rotate injection sites regularly, so as to avoid irritation or infection.

Not a rapid mass builder, boldenone undecylenate instead provides a slow but steady gain of strength and quality muscle mass. The positive effects of this drug become most apparent when it is used for longer cycles, usually lasting eight weeks or more in duration. The muscle gained should also not be the smooth bulk associated with testosterone, but more defined and solid. Since water bloat is not contributing greatly to the diameter of the muscle, more of the visible size gained on a cycle of boldenone undecylenate should be retained after the drug has been discontinued.

When used for physique- or performance-enhancing purposes, women take much lower doses of boldenone undecylenate than men, typically 50-75 milligrams per week. Women should take caution with the slow-acting characteristics of this preparation, which make blood levels difficult to control and slow to decline should virilization symptoms become present.

Side Effects

Estrogenic: Boldenone is aromatized in the body to estradiol (estrogen). Elevated estrogen levels can cause side effects such as increased water retention, body fat gain and gynecomastia. Boldenone is considered a mildly estrogenic steroid. Aromatization studies suggest that its rate of conversion to estradiol is roughly half that of testosterone. The tendency to develop noticeable estrogenic side effects with boldenone should be slightly higher than nandrolone, but much lower than with testosterone. Estrogenic side effects are usually not pronounced unless this drug is taken in doses above 200-400 milligrams per week. An anti-estrogen such as clomiphene citrate or tamoxifen citrate might be used to help mitigate these side effects, should they become present. One may alternately use an aromatase inhibitor like Arimidex^® (anastrozole), although it is considerably more expensive, and may negatively affect blood lipids.

Androgenic: Although classified as an anabolic steroid, androgenic side effects are still common with this substance, especially with higher doses. This may include bouts of oily skin, acne and body/facial hair growth. Anabolic-androgenic steroids may also aggravate male pattern hair loss. Women are also warned of the potential virilizing effects of anabolic-androgenic steroids. These may include a deepening of the voice, menstrual irregularities, changes in skin texture, facial hair growth and clitoral enlargement.

Liver Toxicity: Boldenone is not c-17 alpha alkylated, and not known to have hepatotoxic effects. Liver toxicity is unlikely.

Cardiovascular: Anabolic-androgenic steroids can have deleterious effects on serum cholesterol. This includes a tendency to reduce HDL (good) cholesterol values and increase LDL (bad) cholesterol values, which may shift the HDL to LDL balance in a direction that favors greater risk of arteriosclerosis. The relative impact of an anabolic-androgenic steroid on serum lipids is dependant on the dose, route of administration (oral versus injectable), type of steroid (aromatizable or non-aromatizable) and level of resistance to hepatic metabolism. Anabolic-androgenic steroids may also adversely affect blood pressure and triglycerides, reduce endothelial relaxation and support left ventricular hypertrophy— all potentially increasing the risk of cardiovascular disease and myocardial infarction. Boldenone is likely to have a less dramatic impact on cardiovascular risk factors than synthetic oral anabolic steroids. This is due in part to its openness to metabolism by the liver, which allows it to have less effect on the hepatic management of cholesterol. The aromatization of boldenone to estradiol may also help to mitigate the negative effects of androgens on serum lipids.

To help reduce cardiovascular strain, it is advised to maintain an active cardiovascular exercise program and minimize the intake of saturated fats, cholesterol and simple carbohydrates at all times during active AAS administration.

Testosterone Suppression: All anabolic-androgenic steroids, when taken in doses sufficient to promote muscle gain, are expected to suppress endogenous testosterone production. Without the intervention of testosterone-stimulating substances, testosterone levels should return to normal within one to four months of drug cessation. Note that prolonged hypogonadotrophic hypogonadism can develop secondary to steroid abuse, necessitating medical intervention.

The above side effects are not inclusive.

With that said, we wish you luck in your fitness endeavors. If you find you need help with any bodybuilding or fitness issues you may feel free to contact us and we will help you if we can!

DIANABOL (Methandrostenolone)

WHAT ARE THE BENEFITS OF DIANABOL

There’s a reason why Dianabol is one of the most commonly used oral anabolic androgenic steroids. That’s because it has several benefits that can help athletes significantly improve their performance.

Once dbol is taken, it starts kicking in extremely fast, and the first thing the user will notice is the increase in strength. You’ll be able to push heavier weights and get in more repetitions on your exercises.

After about a week, the user will start to see the increase in size. Each week you’ll notice a massive change in your physique, and the scale will go up. It will be a mix of muscle mass and water retention because dbol causes enormous bloat.

During the entire cycle, your muscles will recover a lot faster. That means you’ll be to handle more volume during your training sessions. Faster recovery plays a crucial role in growing muscle, so that’s another excellent benefit.

As you can see, there’s a lot of reasons why an athlete would take Dianabol. But it’s important to know that it’s not all benefits and there’s a lot more to learn. Make sure to keep reading.

DIANABOL DOSAGE INFORMATION

Using the right dosage of Dianabol is crucial because it affects the results and side effects you might experience.

It’s a powerful compound that is said to show results at low dosages. Generally speaking, Dianabol is used at 25 to 50mg per day. New users are advised to start with 25mg to experience the effects.

From there on, most people will gradually build their way up to the desired dosage, which doesn’t necessarily have to be 50mg.

Of course, you’ll find more experienced users that run it at higher dosages, but that also puts you at risk of adverse effects.

DIANABOL CYCLE MUST-KNOWS

You’ve made it this far into this article to know that Dianabol is an extremely potent and effective compound. You can easily gain anywhere from 10 to 20lbs with a simple and short cycle.

Therefore, if you’re thinking about running a Dianabol cycle, you need to know what to do.

The first thing you should know is that Dianabol suppresses your natural testosterone production. That means running it by itself isn’t a very good idea, which is why most stack it with Testosterone.

If you don’t have a testosterone base, you’re going to feel horrible and won’t be able to maintain the gains you’ve made.

Moving on, we are going to discuss the cycle length. Since Dianabol is hepatoxic, you shouldn’t run it for longer than 6-8 weeks max.

During those 4-6 weeks, you will absolutely need to use an on-cycle support supplement. We recommend Liver Shield by Anabolica as it contains all the essential ingredients.

Most bodybuilders use Dbol to kickstart a cycle, which helps them transition much more effectively. Allow me to show you the two most popular cycle options with this compound.

1. DIANABOL AND TESTOSTERONE CYCLE

By far, the most popular option is the Dianabol and Testosterone cycle. This type of cycle generally lasts for about 12 weeks.

It’s a good idea to combine the two because, with a Dbol only cycle, you won’t have any testosterone flowing through your body.

During the first 4-6 weeks of that 12-week cycle, you take Dbol at 25-50mg per day to kick off your cycle.

After those four weeks, the Testosterone Enanthate starts to kick in, giving you a smooth transition of compounds. So pretty much while the Testosterone is waiting to kick in, your already making good progress because of the DBol.

2. DIANABOL ONLY CYCLE

Some users choose to run a Dianabol only cycle for 6 to 8 weeks. During this period, you only use that compound and nothing else.

It’s mainly done by those that want to gain muscle quickly without having to do any injections. We don’t recommend running this product by itself, but it’s still possible to do so.

With such a cycle, you can definitely gain a significant amount of size in those 6 to 8 weeks. Don’t forget to use liver support such as Liver Shield during this period.

WHAT RESULTS CAN YOU EXPECT FROM DBOL?

If there’s one thing that this compound is effective at, it’s helping its user put on muscle mass. The results I’ve seen people get from using Dianabol are impressive.

When we look at the average amount people gain from a cycle, it’s between 10 to 20lbs. Of course, it’s not all muscle mass as you’ll also experience water retention, but still very impressive.

Please note that you will need to do a post cycle therapy after your cycle to keep the gains you have made.

DOES DIANABOL HAVE SIDE EFFECTS?

Even though Dianabol is excellent for packing on size, it also has many side effects. And let me tell you, the side effects it can cause are no joke, which is why you should think twice about using this anabolic compound.

Some of the side effects caused by dbol include:

Gyno (Man boobs)
Liver damage
Decreased libido and sexual performance
Acne
Water retention
Testosterone suppression
Mood swings
Increased blood pressure
Hair loss

As you can see from the above-listed side effects, Dianabol can be extremely dangerous if you don’t know what you’re doing. The longer you take it, the more dangerous it can get.

Dosage also plays a massive role in how bad the side effects can get, so make sure to stay within the guidelines

The biggest mistake people make when taking this compound is that they don’t use an on-cycle support supplement. Those supplements are designed to protect and support your liver and other organs during a cycle. And since Dianabol can be hepatoxic, it’s a must to take.

The estrogen-related side effects can be fought with Arimidex and / or Novaldex.

You will also require a post cycle therapy after a cycle with this anabolic steroid. It’s needed to help you restore your natural hormone production.

CONCLUSION

Dianabol is one of the most prevalent oral steroids; many athletes use it to help them reach the next level in their physique or performance.

It has several key benefits but also comes with possible negatives that can put your health at risk. This is why we recommend PCT is planned our prior to embarking on your cycle.

If you plan to go ahead with your cycle, feel free to contact us to help guide you in building your cycle, and for what to use to combat any ill side effects from your cycle.

With that said, we wish you luck in your fitness endeavors. If you find you need help with any bodybuilding or fitness issues you may feel free to contact us and we will help you if we can!

DECA DURABOLIN (Nandrolone)

What Is Deca and Where Did It Come From?

Deca durabolin was first described in 1960 with pharmaceutical giant, Organon, bringing it to market 2 years later.

Deca durabolin was Organon’s second formulated nandrolone ester, following Nandrolone phenylpropionate (NPP).

Deca durabolin was initially synthesized to treat patients suffering from cachexia (muscle wasting).

It is one of the only anabolic steroids still prescribed today, effectively treating HIV/AIDS and anemia patients, thanks to its anabolic and erythrocytosis properties.

By the 1970’s deca durabolin had become one of the most popular anabolic steroids in the world (which remains the case today). It was known to be cycled by top bodybuilders during the golden era (such as Arnold Schwarzenegger), commonly being stacked alongside dianabol during bulking cycles.

Deca Durabolin Benefits

Muscular Size and Strength

Deca durabolin promotes muscular hypertrophy (size) and strength, causing significant changes in body composition after several weeks of use.

Deca durabolin promotes lean mass, due to it stimulating protein synthesis and creating a positive nitrogen balance inside the muscle cells.

It is not as potent as other bulking AAS (anabolic-androgenic steroids), such as: anadrol, dianabol, superdrol or trenbolone.

However, some bodybuilders prefer deca durabolin over such steroids, due to its safety profile.

Well Tolerated

It is an FDA approved medicine, which is indicative of its low risk level. It has been successfully prescribed to women for breast cancer treatment and children suffering from dwarfism; without notable adverse effects.

Deca Durabolin also increases collagen synthesis, improving the health of ligaments and tendons. This is particularly beneficial to bodybuilders and powerlifters regularly lifting heavy weights and thus being more prone to injury.

Joint Anti-Inflammotry

Deca durabolin also promotes fluid retention, that aids in lubricating the joints. This can help to minimize, alleviate or prevent join pain in bodybuilders who have lifted weights for many years.

In one study, deca durabolin was given to 18 men experiencing joint pain. Following treatment, 72% reported a reduction in pain and 28% required less painkiller medication, demonstrating potent anti-inflammotry effects of the steroid.

No Hepatotoxic Effects

Many steroids, particularly orals, can exhibit toxic effects to the liver.

If abused, such AAS can cause peliosis hepatis (blood filled cysts) or cirrhosis (failure) of the liver.

However, deca durabolin is an injectable steroid that bypasses the liver, causing little to no hepatic strain.

Long Esters

Deca durabolin is a slow-acting steroid, containing long esters, hence why cycles typically last up to 12 weeks.

This can be disadvantageous to some bodybuilders looking for rapid results, but for others who want serum testosterone levels to remain steady in the blood stream (to minimize side effects); this is largely beneficial.

Furthermore, when deca durabolin is stacked with other steroids, it enables users to continue experiencing results in the latter stages of a cycle. In comparison, other AAS can peak early or cause more side effects than benefits towards the end of a cycle, due to high levels of toxicity.

Deca Durabolin Side Effects

Cholesterol

Deca durabolin will cause mild alterations in LDL/HDL cholesterol scores, provoking elevations in blood pressure. However, the risks of developing heart disease are relatively low on deca durabolin, with such cardiac effects being mild.

All anabolic steroids will have a negative effect on blood lipids, as they are all essentially forms of exogenous testosterone. However, deca durabolin is among the most cardiovascular-friendly steroids available (alongside testosterone).

Deca Dick

Deca durabolin is infamous for its sexual side effects, inducing a decrease for sexual desire and performance; often leading to erectile dysfunction (deca dick).

The reason why men may struggle to get an erection on deca durabolin is due to its deficiency in androgenicity. Androgenic steroids facilitate nitric oxide production, which is crucial in the role of supplying blood flow to the penis. Thus, deca durabolin may compromise circulation in this regard.

Also deca durabolin raises prolactin levels, a lactating hormone, that can decrease arousal or sexual interest.

This combination of low nitric oxide levels and high prolactin is often a recipe for disaster in the bedroom.

However, bodybuilders often combat this by stacking deca durabolin with an androgenic steroid, ensuring that N.O levels stay high. Examples of such androgenic compounds are: testosterone, anadrol and trenbolone.

Bodybuilders may also supplement with cabergoline (when taking deca), due to its prolactin-lowering effects, caused by it strongly binding to dopamine receptors.

Low Testosterone

Low testosterone levels will occur on deca durabolin, with it being a highly suppressive anabolic steroid.

Thus, a PCT involving tamoxifen (nolvadex) or clomiphene (clomid) may be administered to help stimulate endogenous testosterone production, following discontinuation of the drug.

Estrogen and Progesterone

Deca durabolin has low estrogenic properties, with just a 20% aromatization rate of testosterone. However, deca durabolin users can often experience estrogen-like side effects; due it significantly increasing progesterone.

Progesterone is a female sex hormone (like estrogen) that has a stimulating effect on breast tissue in the mammary glands, potentially causing gynecomastia.

Interestingly, anti-estrogens (such as anastrozole) are effective inhibitors of progesterone receptor expression and thus reduce the risk of gynecomastia in men.

Deca Durabolin Cycles

Deca Durabolin-Only Cycle

Deca durabolin is predominantly used for bulking purposes, however due to it only building moderate amounts of lean muscle (by bodybuilding standards), it is often cycled with other, more potent AAS.

Generally stacking steroids together leads to an increase in side effects, such as further elevations in cholesterol. However, in deca durabolin’s case, stacking may help to prevent some of its negative effects regarding sexual health.

Thus, deca durabolin-only cycles are seldom among bodybuilders, in a bid to keep androgen levels high, mitigating the risk of erectile dysfunction on-cycle.

However, if a bodybuilder were to utilize a deca durabolin-only cycle, these are the typical dosages they would use (below):

Deca Durabolin and Dianabol Cycle

Dianabol (methandrostenolone) is one of the most popular steroids available, due to its exceptional mass-building effects.

Dianabol сompliments deca durabolin during a bulking cycle, with deca durabolin amplifying the anabolic nature of dianabol, enhancing muscle hypertrophy (size) and strength.

Dianabol’s two main adverse effects are hypertension and liver toxicity. Thus, by stacking dianabol with deca durabolin, users will not be aggravating these two symptoms; with deca being an injectable and only having mild effects on blood lipids.

This steroid cycle is taken by experienced steroid-users, who already have a testosterone cycle under their belt and have built up some tolerance to anabolic steroids.

This stack has the power to add 30-40lbs of weight gain to a user, accompanied by 50-70lbs of increased strength on compound lifts.

Some of the weight gained will be in the form of water, thus bloating and water retention is likely; with dianabol having the aromatase enzyme active.

This cycle has the potential to cause gynecomastia from high levels of progesterone (deca durabolin) and estrogen (dianabol). Thus, an AI (anti aromatase inhibitor) can be utilized to combat the conversion of testosterone to estrogen, albeit at the expense of exacerbating blood pressure.

This cycle was perhaps the most common duo used in the golden era by the great, classic bodybuilders. Such a cycle produced exceptional levels of mass, without androgenic effects; enabling users to keep their hair intact and prevent male pattern baldness (androgenetic alopecia).

Deca Durabolin and Anadrol Cycle

Anadrol (oxymetholone) is a similar compound to dianabol, being an oral steroid that possesses immense muscle-building and strength enhancing effects.

The main benefit of stacking anadrol with deca durabolin, is due to its androgenicity.

Anadrol can help to alleviate impotence associated with deca durabolin, due to higher nitric oxide production; improving blood flow to the penis.

The above cycle is suitable for advanced steroid-users only, due to anadrol’s harsh effects on the body; particularly cardiovascular and hepatic strain.

Anadrol ran by itself has the power to cause hypertension, due to its high mg dosage of 50-100mg per day. It also negatively affects hepatic lipase, an enzyme that can significantly reduce HDL cholesterol levels.

Increased risks of gynecomastia are of concern when taking the above cycle, due to deca durabolin increasing progesterone and anadrol increasing estrogen levels.

An AI (aromatase inhibitor) will be ineffective for treating anadrol’s estrogenic effects, as it does not aromatize, but instead directly stimulates the estrogen receptors.

SERMs such as Clomid or Nolvadex can inhibit estrogen activity from a receptor level, thus preventing gynecomastia from anadrol. However, these SERMs can also increase progesterone, thus increasing nandrolone-induced gynecomastia.

Some steroid-users may try and prevent gynecomastia when running this cycle, by administering an aromatase inhibitor (AI) to lower progesterone (not estrogen), however this can exacerbate cardiovascular strain due to lower levels of estrogen. Furthermore, anadrol-induced gynecomastia remains a concern even when running an AI.

Testosterone suppression will be extreme post-cycle with this stack, requiring an aggressive PCT.

Dr. Michael Scally, an expert in hormone replacement therapy, has experienced extensive success implementing a trio of medications; accelerating the recovery of anabolic androgenic steroid-induced hypogonadism (ASIH).

These are:

Human chorionic gonadotropin (hCG)
Clomiphene (clomid)
Tamoxifen (nolvadex)

When these three medications were given to 19 men with shut down endogenous testosterone levels; after 45 days, 100% of them had normal serum testoerone readings.

Deca Durabolin and Testosterone Cycle

Testosterone is another potent anabolic steroid, typically taken to add large amounts of muscular hypertrophy (size) and strength in the off-season

However, testosterone can also be utilized as a cutting steroid, due to its strong androgenic properties having a stimulatory effect on lipolysis; resulting in decreased adipose tissue (enhanced fat loss).

Testosterone is regarded as one of the safest anabolic steroids, being FDA approved and prescribed to many men worldwide for the treatment of TRT (testosterone replacement therapy).

Testosterone and deca durabolin can be regarded as one of the mildest stacks a bodybuilder can utilize, in regards to side effects.

However, it remains a potent duo for enhancing body composition, with users experiencing 30 plus pounds of muscle gain and amazing improvements in strength.

This bulking cycle does not present a massive risk for hypertension, however cholesterol changes are to be expected; causing mild increases in blood pressure. Deca durabolin and testosterone are two of the most cardiovascular-friendly steroids available.

Testosterone compliments deca durabolin exceptionally well, due to testosterone’s androgenic nature reducing the sexual side effects of deca durabolin. However, unlike anadrol, testosterone does this without compromising health in other aspects (such as the liver).

This cycle is also better suited to someone trying to prevent gynecomastia, as an aromatase inhibitor (AI) can be taken, synergistically lowering estrogen and progesterone levels.

Anastrozole and letrozole are two popular AI medications taken by bodybuilders today.

Endogenous testosterone levels will decrease dramatically, requiring a PCT and some users experiencing: hair thinning, recession, or loss on the scalp due to testosterone raising DHT (dihydrotestosterone). This cycle is less hair friendly compared to the deca durabolin/dianabol stack.

Deca Durabolin Results (Before and After Pictures)

This user displays amazing improvements in muscle hypertrophy and thickness after completing a deca durabolin/anadrol cycle.

In the before picture he had previously taken SARMs (selective androgen receptor modulators), therefore this wasn’t his first PED cycle.

This before and after transformation is typical of someone stacking deca durabolin with another powerful bulking steroid. Stretch marks can be seen on his right deltoid in the after photo, indicating the rapid anabolic effects of anadrol/deca.

Note: Deca-only cycles are unlikely to add this level of mass, with 20lbs of muscle being the more likely outcome (rather than 30-40lbs).

Deca Durabolin For Women

Deca durabolin is sometimes taken by women, when trying to bulk up and gain lean muscle tissue.

Although deca durabolin may not be the most optimal steroid for women (with anavar being a more popular compound), research suggests deca durabolin is relatively safe from a virilization perspective.

Studies indicate that deca durabolin is generally well-tolerated by women, when taken in dosages of 100mg, administered every other week for 12 weeks (thus translating as 50mg/week).

However, studies also suggest that deca durabolin is capable of causing masculinization in women, even in very small dosages, when taken long-term.

Such adverse effects occurred on a dose of 50mg, administered every 2-3 weeks. This translates as a dose of 13-25mg per week (7). Thus, if women were to take deca durabolin it would be wise to keep cycles short (preferably 8 weeks or less).

Deca Durabolin Cycle for Women

Note: Anadrol would be a more suitable bulking steroid for women, in terms of preventing virilization; with mega doses failing to produce virilization, even when taken for excessive periods of time.

Anadrol also is a fast-acting compound that clears out of the body quickly, whereas deca durabolin is slow-acting with a half-life of 6 days; thus making it more risky for women who begin to experience masculinization symptoms. This is because even if they stop taking deca durabolin, it will remain in their system for up to 12 days.

FAQs

Deca Durabolin vs EQ (Equipoise)

Equipoise (boldenone undecylenate) is an injectable veterinary steroid, commonly given to horses to increase lean bodyweight.

EQ is a modified form of testosterone, like deca durabolin, with a double bond being introduced between carbons 1 and 2.

Bodybuilders often take equipoise as an alternative to deca durabolin, being a slightly more powerful and androgenic compound.

Equipoise is believed to be more estrogenic than deca durabolin, with EQ displaying 50% (half) of the estrogenic effects of testosterone and deca durabolin just 20%.

The general consensus is: if EQ replaced deca durabolin in various steroid cycles, the end result would be very similar.

Trenbolone vs Deca Durabolin

Trenbolone and deca durabolin are both injectable bulking steroids, yet are very different in their pharmacology and effects.

Trenbolone is more anabolic than deca durabolin, reflected in its anabolic rating of 500 vs deca durabolin’s 125.

Thus, trenbolone will add more lean muscle than deca durabolin, however weight gain at the end of a cycle may be similar; due to deca causing fluid retention and trenbolone enhancing fat loss.

Trenbolone is considered one of the most potent and harshest AAS, whereas deca durabolin is mild and FDA approved (in medicine).

Trenbolone will cause considerably more cardiac hypertrophy (enlargement of the heart) and increase the risk of atherosclerotic plaque.

Trenbolone also is very androgenic and deca durabolin is not, thus hair recession/loss on the scalp, acne vulgaris and prostate enlargement are common with trenbolone (but rare with deca durabolin).

Thus, trenbolone will have a more dramatic effect on body composition, however it will also come with more severe side effects (specifically hypertension).

Summary: Deca Durabolin Pros and Cons

Pros:

Mild side effects
Effective mass-builder
High-tolerance among women (during short-term use)
Promotes joint health

Cons:

Impotence
Delivery via injection (inconvenient for some users)
Suppressive to endogenous testosterone

YK-11

YK-11 is quite possibly one of the most powerful SARMs on the market today, due to its unique nature as both a SARM and a myostatin inhibitor.

Not only is YK-11 a SARM, which will help promote lean muscle growth, but it also inhibits myostatin, which unlocks your natural bodybuilding potential.

Is YK-11 safe, however? What’s the best dosage for bodybuilding? What results can you expect to get? How long is a typical cycle going to be?

In this article, the Anabolica Team will examine the research and anecdotal evidence, to give you the facts about YK11, so you can make an educated decision.

What is YK-11?

YK11 belongs to a class of research chemicals known as SARMS, which were initially developed to help treat muscle wasting in cancer patients.

Selective androgen receptor modulators, or SARMs for short, have potent muscle building effects, and are generally well tolerated in studies.

While they were initially created to help cancer patients combat muscle wasting, bodybuilders quickly caught on, and realized that healthy individuals who took SARMs could experience steroid-like effects.

While there isn’t much clinical evidence regarding YK-11, anecdotal evidence suggests it’s an incredibly potent muscle building agent.

In fact, as we’ll explore soon, lab rats which were given YK-11 as treatment experienced absolutely mind-boggling muscle growth and results

Overview of Benefits & Effects

Before we take a deeper look at the clinical studies regarding YK-11, first we’d like to offer a brief overview of the benefits and negative sides of this fascinating new research chemical.

Benefits:

Extremely Powerful
Rapidly Build Muscle
Drastically Increase Strength
Great Bulking Compound

Drawbacks:

More Research Should Be Done
Potential Side Effects for Some People
Does Require A PCT (Post Cycle Therapy)

While there are no clinical human trials at the moment, both anecdotal evidence, and the existing research conducted on cells suggests that YK-11 exerts an extremely powerful anabolic effect on muscle growth.

Is It Legal?

YK-11, in addition to other SARMs, have been classified as an anabolic substance by the World Anti-Doping Agency (WADA), and are thus outlawed from being used in athletic competitions, such as the Olympics.

The United States Anti-Doping Agency, or USADA for short, has also banned SARMs from being used in athletic competitions, which is a testament to their strength. If you’re an athlete, you may be tested for these drugs, however if you’re not, there’s no legal consequences for you to worry about.

YK-11 is completely legal to buy and sell online, however we advise you to go through a reputable vendor.

Where to Get It

Thankfully, even though YK-11 is an incredibly strong SARM that could easily be compared to a milder steroid like Winstrol, it’s legal to buy.

Any company that sells research chemicals and supplements will typically sell YK11, and we recommend you read this entire article before you purchase YK11 online.

YK-11 is an incredibly powerful SARM that can help you shred fat, increase strength, and build lean muscle, but more research is needed to confirm or deny the potential long term health side effects.

If you’re interested in bodybuilding, and just wanted the most pure, highest quality YK-11 on the market, then we suggest you go with Anabolica.

How Does YK11 Work?

Similar to other SARMs such as Ostarine, YK11 works by binding to androgen receptors in the body, signalling skeletal muscles to grow.

What makes YK-11 unique however, is the fact that it is not only a SARM, but also a myostatin inhibitor, which gives it an added anabolic effect.

Your body normally produces something called myostatin, which limits how much muscle you can grow naturally—YK-11 inhibits the production of myostatin, unlocking your genetic potential.

It does this by binding to androgen receptors and inducing the muscle cells to produce more follistatin, which inhibits myostatin production.

To put it in layman’s terms, YK-11 removes the “muscle growth limit” that your body places on itself—so that users can experience rapid gains.

Is YK-11 A SARM?

Many people think that YK-11 is a SARM, and it is, but it’s actually something even more. See, YK11 acts similarly to SARMs, in that the compound binds to the androgen receptors in your muscles, signaling them to grow.

YK-11 is different, however, in that it also inhibits something called myostatin in your body. Data shows that myostatin puts a biological limitation to how much muscle you can grow—this explains hard gainers, and those who struggle to build muscle mass.

Some of the world’s strongest and biggest bodybuilders have actually been shown to have a gene that prevents their body from producing myostatin, allowing them to reach incredible sizes and levels of strength.

This is, in effect, what YK-11 does. Not only does it have the muscle building effects of a SARM, but this compound also reduces the amount of myostatin in your body, allowing it to blast past its natural muscle-building potential.

YK11 Benefits

While there are minimal YK11 studies regarding the effects on humans, we do know that this SARM has an extremely anabolic effect on animals.

In fact, mice that have low levels of myostatin, which is what YK11 inhibits, have on average twice as much muscle mass as rats who don’t.

Here are some reported benefits of YK-11 usage:

Rapid Muscle Growth
Increased Sex Drive
Enhanced Strength
Muscle Hardening

The biggest benefit of YK-11 is the rapid muscle growth, as users often report gaining 10-15 pounds or more from one 12 week cycle of YK-11.

Rapid Muscle Growth

While the long term health effects of YK-11 haven’t been studied in humans, there is evidence to suggest it’s an incredibly potent anabolic drug.

In fact, much of the anecdotal data and various logs of body builders and their experiences suggest that YK-11 is comparable to a mild steroid cycle.

While the the drug hasn’t been approved for human use by the FDA, you can be sure that body builders are using it to get jacked all over the world.

Muscle Hardening

Another reason why people love YK11 is that it creates a muscle hardening effect that few other supplements on the market can manage.

In addition to the rapid muscle growth that will come from this compound, YK-11 is also known for creating the “cut and dry” look that lifters love.

What’s more is that if you combine YK11 with SR-9009 or another SARM meant for cutting, you could experience VERY fast and lean gains.

Increased Strength

Most people take this compound, because of its ability to rapidly increase strength in users. In fact, one study conducted at the Department of Internal Medicine at Yale University, found that treating mice with an anti-myostatin drug for just 4 weeks was associated with a huge increase in muscle strength.

Another study, published in the PNAS Journal, found that mice who lacked the myostatin inhibiting gene (which YK-11 seems to turn off), literally had twice the physical strength as those mice who had the myostatin inhibiting gene.

While more studies certainly need to be done on this compound, preliminary data and anecdotal evidence suggests that it’s an EXTREMELY potent muscle building compound, rivaling even the strongest of anabolic steroids.

YK11 Results

Unfortunately, there have been no studies done with YK-11 on humans, so all of the results and before and after pictures we have are anecdotal.

That being said, many users who log their YK-11 results on Reddit and other bodybuilding forums report gaining up to 20 pounds from a single cycle.

Most users who take a YK-11 cycle report gaining massive amounts of muscle, and many believe it’s one of the best SARMs on the market.

The reported effects of taking YK11 are rapid muscle growth, enhanced strength and performance in the gym, and increased muscle hardening.

YK11 Dosage Guidelines

Because there have been no human trials with YK11 treatment, there is no medically established dose of YK-11 for human use to date.

However, the general consensus amongst bodybuilders is that 10 mg is a good dosage for muscle growth and performance enhancement.

Here are the YK11 dosage guidelines:

Beginner Dose: 10 mg/day
Intermediate Dose: 15 mg/day
Advanced Dose: 20 mg/day

While some users have reported taking dosages as high as 30mg/day, most agree that taking between 10 mg and 15 mg to start is best.

Bulking & Cutting Stacks

Most bodybuilders agree that taking YK-11 for bulking is best, although it could still be used in a cutting stack to prevent losing muscle mass.

Sample Bulking Stack	Sample Cutting Stack
YK11 – 10 mg/day	YK11 – 5 mg/day
Ligandrol – 10 mg/day	Ostarine – 25 mg/day
RAD 140 – 15 mg/day	Cardarine – 10 mg/day

Due to its effectiveness as a bulking SARM, YK11 often pairs well with SR9009 (Stenabolic) for a dry bulk and potentially Ligandrol for a wet bulk.

YK11 Side Effects

Because there are no studies regarding the safety of YK-11 use in humans, most of the side effects reported are from bodybuilding cycle logs.

Some users report zero side effects in the short run, and some report many side effects—so the short term negative effects of YK-11 will vary.

Here are some potential side effects of YK-11 use:

Testosterone Suppression
Mild Liver Toxicity
Joint And Tendon Pain
Increased Aggression

The most obvious side effect of YK11 use is testosterone suppression, but this is common with all SARMs, from SR9009 to the S23 SARM.

Side effects of YK11 can be mitigated by taking supplements on cycle for tendon pain and liver support, and by doing a proper PCT, as well.

For those sensitive to hair loss from SARMs, we recommend you apply Rogaine or similar product throughout your cycle.

How Safe Is It?

While YK11 doesn’t have much clinical evidence to back its safety, there are a lot of anecdotal logs of users and bodybuilders who claim to be just fine.

It’s important to note that YK-11 is not approved for human use by the FDA, and more research should be done on the long term potential side effects.

That being said, if you do want to cycle YK11, be sure to use a good SARMs PCT in order to keep your gains, and assure you have high testosterone.

Summary

To summarize, YK-11 is a powerful myostatin inhibitor which can lead to rapid muscle growth and increased strength in users who take it.

While it isn’t approved for human use by the FDA, many body builders choose to take it regardless, for the performance enhancing effects.

If you would like to purchase 99% pure, 3rd party tested YK-11 for research purposes, we recommend getting it through Anabolica’s most trusted (non-affiliated) vendor.

With that said, we wish you luck in your fitness endeavors. If you find you need help with any bodybuilding or fitness issues you may feel free to contact us and we will help you if we can!

RAD-140 (TESTOLONE)

RAD-140 (otherwise known as Testolone) is a highly potent compound that can provide positive results for performance in the gym. SARMs are a specific class of compounds known as Selective Anabolic Receptor Modulators, which have gained massive popularity for their performance benefits with minimal possible side effects. Many users take them in place of anabolic steroids, which have been proven to increase muscle mass and enhance athletic performance but also come with a host of dangerous side effects. These side effects can range from superficial effects such as acne and baldness to more severe effects such as testicle shrinkage, decreased sperm count, infertility, heart attack, liver disease and liver cancer.

SARMs provide a unique opportunity to achieve excellent performance enhancement capabilities without succumbing to the dangerous effects of anabolic steroids. RAD-140 SARMs have been noted to be among the most effective products in this class of non-steroidal compounds. This article will delve into RAD-140 benefits and help discuss the results it can give to you. Keep reading to find out more.

How Do RAD-140 SARMs Work?

RAD-140 has become extremely popular among bodybuilders and athletes in recent years, but what exactly is this compound? RAD-140, like other SARMs, works by targeting specific receptors in your body known as androgen receptors. Anabolic steroids work by targeting all the androgen receptors in your body, which produces adverse side effects. The difference with RAD-140 and other SARMs is that these compounds only target good androgens that help build muscle mass and bone tissue while ignoring others, such as the prostate, hence the name. When RAD-140 binds to these good receptors, it tells your body to build muscle. This is why RAD-140 can be so effective in building lean muscle mass in record time.

SARMs: RAD-140 Benefits

RAD-140 was initially developed for medical use to help treat conditions that cause adverse side effects on the body, such as testosterone decline, osteoporosis, wasting syndrome and delayed puberty. Currently, RAD-140 is undergoing extensive clinical trials to help treat breast cancer. It’s important to note that clinical trials in the treatment of each of these conditions are still ongoing and have not resulted in FDA approval.

These possible medical benefits aren’t the only thing that keeps people coming back to RAD-140. Bodybuilders and athletes have found ways to utilize RAD-140 benefits for enhanced performance in the gym and have produced desirable results.

Increased Lean Muscle Mass

RAD-140 SARMs can potentially help you experience higher rates of lean muscle mass because of their anabolic effects. An increase in muscle mass is by far one of the most sought-after RAD-140 benefits that can draw in bodybuilders looking to supplement their workout routine with some extra power. SARMs like RAD-140 work by increasing protein synthesis in the muscle tissues, which allows for faster muscle regeneration and growth. The benefit of taking RAD-140 over other SARMs (or stacking it with another SARM) is RAD-140’s extreme potency — it’s one of the most potent compounds for muscle growth.

By targeting the androgen receptors in the muscle and bone only, RAD-140 can improve muscle growth at a rate comparable to anabolic steroids while maintaining a higher degree of safety. Following a strict diet and proper training while on RAD-140 benefits and stimulates muscle growth at incredible levels.

Increased Endurance

RAD-140 SARMs can also be highly beneficial in increasing muscle endurance by boosting your body’s metabolism. Muscle endurance is essential to athletes and bodybuilders who undergo extensive training sessions and competitions at higher rates than average gym-goers. Offering the benefits of increased endurance and stamina, RAD-140 works to speed up your progress in the gym and make daily workouts less tedious. It speeds up the breakdown of calories and fats to generate more fuel so you can be in the gym longer and more consistently.

Fat Loss

While not its primary goal, RAD-140 SARMs also help promote fat loss. The anabolic effects that help boost muscle growth can also influence the breakdown of fatty acids and increase the metabolism of calories. By burning more calories, RAD-140 benefits users by limiting the conversion of calories to fat and boosting energy levels at the same time.

RAD-140 is particularly useful for fat loss because it also helps support muscle preservation – meaning your body won’t break down muscle gains when burning fat. You can use RAD-140 SARMs for fat loss, but they work better with other types that are more specialized for the task in a stack.

RAD 140 Dosage

While there is no medically established dosage of Testolone, we can learn a lot by looking at anecdotal evidence and user cycle logs.

Here are the RAD 140 dosage guidelines:

Beginner: 10 mg per day
Intermediate: 20 mg day
Advanced: 30 mg day

While there is no established dose for Testolone, studies have found that even taking 0.1 mg per kg can lead to gains of more than 10% in 28 days.

Most beginners choose to start off by taking 10 mg of RAD 140 per day for 8 weeks, which is equal to one capsule of RAD-140 from Anabolica.

Bulking & Cutting Stacks

Due to its versatility as a SARM, Testolone (RAD-140) works well when combined with other SARMs, depending on your body building goals.

This is what’s called a “SARMs stack,” where users choose to take multiple SARMs at once, to get the most muscle-building and fat-shredding possible.

Sample Bulking Stack	Sample Cutting Stack
RAD 140 – 20mg/day	RAD 140 – 20mg/day
Ligandrol – 10mg/day	Cardarine – 10mg/day
YK11 – 10mg/day	Andarine – 50mg/day

Sample RAD 140 Bulking & Cutting Stacks

Doing a 12 week bulking stack of RAD140, users can expect to gain 15-20 pounds in 2-3 months, and can expect to keep 85% or so of your gains.

Doing a 12 week cutting stack of RAD140, on the other hand, might aid users in losing 10-15 pounds within 2-3 months, with all of it staying off (assuming that your diet and training stay the same).

For a RAD 140 cutting stack, users might also find it effective to throw in some SR-9009 or maybe the S-23 SARM for incredibly dry, lean gains.

Post Cycle Therapy (PCT)

SARMs do, in fact, suppress your natural testosterone production, so doing a post cycle therapy (or PCT for short) is highly recommended.

Here is a good post cycle therapy to run after you finish your Testolone bulking or cutting cycle, to get your testosterone levels back up:

Weeks After Cycle	Nolvadex	Clomid
Weeks 1-2	40mg/day	50mg/day
Weeks 3-4	20mg/day	25mg/day

Sample PCT to Run After SARMs Cycle

In other words, after you finish your SARMs cycle, begin your PCT the day after your SARMs run out. Most SARMs will be out of your system within 2-3 days due to their short half lives, so you can run begin a SARMs PCT sooner than a steroids PCT.

To buy real, high quality SARMs PCT, we recommend going through Anabolica—both our Nolvadex and Clomid are HPLC tested for purity.

A Summary Of RAD-140 Results

A proper dose of RAD-140 results in micro-tears in the muscles repairing faster, reducing downtime and increasing mass muscle growth rates.
Using RAD-140 results in a boost of stamina and energy levels to get you in the gym more often and help you work out longer.
RAD-140 results in fat loss by burning calories at high levels without affecting your lean muscle mass build-up.

Find RAD-140 SARMs At Paradigm Peptides

RAD-140 SARMs can help provide excellent benefits in the gym and help athletes and bodybuilders meet their performance goals. RAD-140 is still not officially approved by the FDA and clinical data is limited, so all potential users must exercise a degree of caution when using this powerful SARM.

SR-9009 (Stenabolic)

Read How SR-9009 Can Benefit YOU!

Although Stenabolic, also known as SR-9009 was designed for weightlifters, bodybuilders, and athletes, this drug has been seen to improve the overall health and quality of life of anyone who uses it. People who have different goals to achieve have used Stenabolic in recent years and a good number of them, if not most, have reported incredible results!

Benefits of SR-9009 (Stenabolic)

Fat Loss

About 99 percent of people who hit the gym or start a strict diet aims to eliminate fat in the body. If you are obese or overweight and you have tried unsuccessful fat burners, you should take SR-9009. This drug facilitates weight loss in three ways which are:

Increases Glucose Metabolism:

SR-9009 influences the metabolism of glucose in the liver. This results in more glucose being absorbed in the skeletal muscle instead of being stored as fat.

Increases Calorie Metabolism:

SR-9009 allows for the efficient metabolism of calories entering your body through food. This not only ensures that no fat is stored in your body but also helps reduce the amount of fat that is already stored in your body.

Improves Basal Metabolic Rate:

SR-9009 has the ability to make your body respond as if it were in a state of constant exercise, increasing the basal metabolic rate. Even without engaging in any exercise, your metabolism will remain high while you are using the SR-9009.

The good thing about SR-9009 fat loss is that the supplement not only helps you to effectively lose weight, whether you are obese or overweight, but it also helps you maintain ideal body weight. In addition, unlike most fat burners on the market, the SR-9009 will keep your metabolism high without necessarily affecting your central nervous system.

Endurance

SR-9009, which is referred to as “exercise in a bottle”, has also proven to be extremely useful when it comes to increased stamina. The good thing about this drug is that your stamina will be enhanced regardless of whether you are an athlete who exercises regularly or you are someone who does not exercise often. By taking SR-9009, you will be able to perform any type of exercise very easily and achieve excellent results.

Muscular Hypertrophy

Most men love big muscles. They can spend years lifting weights and doing hundreds of exercises every day, all in the name of boosting their muscles and biceps. If you have been training a lot, and you still don’t have the muscle you desire, you should start using SR-9009.

SR-9009 has been shown to increase lean muscle mass. As the supplement gives you stamina, you begin to gain the ability to withstand intense workouts. Muscle hypertrophy comes as a by-product of getting stronger and progressing during workouts. Whenever you progress during training, you can expect muscle gains because muscle mass follows strength and endurance.

Reduced Inflammation

If you are an energy lifter who is always sore, you need to buy SR-9009. After you take it, you will notice a huge difference. This is because SR-9009 amplifies the elimination of worn mitochondria and stimulates the generation of new mitochondria. This greatly reduces pain after strenuous exercise.

Medical Applications

In addition to the benefits of SR-9009 above, this medicine can also be used for different medical applications, including:

Treatment for Obesity
Treatment for Type II Diabetes
Treatment for Sarcopenia
Treatment for Cholesterol-Related Conditions

Side Effects Of SR-9009

Weight lifters, bodybuilders and gym enthusiasts are constantly looking for ways to maintain optimal weight, gain muscle mass and improve their performance. Although steroids may have proven very effective in increasing stamina and helping muscle growth, ingesting them regularly can put your organs at risk. In addition to shrinking your testicles, steroids can cause irregularities in your heart and cause negative effects on your prostate. SARMs like SR-9009 grant those who want advantage but without the serious side effects because they are much safer to use.

SR-9009 is not hormonally estrogenic or androgenic and is safe for both men and women. As of now, there are no known SR-9009 side effects. However, it is not impossible that some side effects could occur. In the unlikely event that you experience any discomfort during the use of the product, it is advisable to stop using it immediately and talk to your doctor about it. To find out how your body reacts to SR-9009, start with a small dose and slowly increase from 20mg to 30mg per day. This would let you know how this drug works best for you.

DOES SR-9009 REQUIRE A PCT?

Stenabolic (SR-9009) is not suppressive and does not generally require a PCT.

With that said, we wish you luck in your fitness endeavors. If you find you need help with any bodybuilding or fitness issues you may feel free to contact us and we will help you if we can!

MK-2866 (OSTARINE)

Ostarine is one of the best known SARMs and is used to increase lean body mass and improve physical function in bodybuilding. Ostarine benefits and side effects have been reported but are still not fully understood by all individuals starting a cycle. Here we look to unravel some of the facts and misconceptions around Ostarine so that it can be used successfully and without adverse effects.

What is Ostarine?

Ostarine (which is sometimes sold under other names such as MK-2866 or Enobosarm) is a selective androgen receptor modulator (SARM). SARMs are supplements designed to act specifically on androgen receptors, as the name suggests. The benefit of this being that effects will be exhibited in the places the user wants them – muscle and bone, with limited side effects on other parts of the body.

Ostarine is one of the most well-studied and most popular SARMs on the market. At this time, GTx (who have been developing the SARM) have conducted over 8 clinical trials on MK-2866 on about 600 hundred subjects. Since the early 2000s, the discoveries made about Ostarine have led to it being used in bodybuilding.

It is commonly recommended to first-time users for being milder and lower in side effects than other SARMs. If a woman were to look at going down the SARMs route, very low dose ostarine would be the smartest option.

What does ostarine do to the body?

Like all SARMs, Ostarine is a synthetic ligand which works by binding to androgen receptors (ARs) in the body. This means that, unlike anabolic steroids, its anabolic effects are tissue-selective. In binding to those receptors, ostarine can bring about accelerated muscle growth, enhanced athleticism and increased bone density.

Ostarine has been studied by the pharmaceutical company GTx, Inc. for uses including reversing osteoporosis and bone loss. It has the ability to help prevent muscle loss (Cachexia), muscle wasting, and overall dystrophy, conditions seen in cancer patients.

In athletic populations, such as in bodybuilders, these benefits have been taken into the context of gaining maximal skeletal muscle.

What is Ostarine used for?

Outside of the research, ostarine is used as a performance/physique enhancing drug under a number of circumstances. Ostarine is incredibly versatile and can be stacked to support muscle building or weight loss goals. Ostarine is also great to help retain hard-earned muscle when in a harsh calorie deficit.

Ostarine MK 2866 benefits & side effects reviewed for 2021

SARMs are considered to be milder, both in their positive and negative effects, to anabolic steroids or even prohormones. This means that the results (such as rate of muscle gain) will be less pronounced, but so should the degree of side effects. This is not to say that SARMs such as Ostarine are entirely without risk.

Ostarine benefits

The benefits of ostarine have been compared to anabolic steroids. Ostarine has a high oral bioavailability which makes it a preferable option to many who are not comfortable or confident self-injecting. Ostarine has shown the ability to increase muscle and decrease fat mass simultaneously (recomposition).

Increased lean muscle mass
Increased bone density
Apparent decreased body fat from improved body composition
Strength and performance gains
Improved recovery

Ostarine side effects & dangers

May negatively impact lipids (HDL and LDL levels)
Liver damage / toxicity
Suppression of natural testosterone levels
Increased estrogen conversion

To protect against potential negative outcomes, we would advise being as diligent with health support as you would be using a steroid or prohormone. Key areas of focus would be liver and cholesterol. Ingredients such as krill oil, CoQ10 and TUDCA would be a good start to your health stack! There are also a number of formulas on the market such as Med Kit which can tick many essential boxes.

Suppression of testosterone seems to become more apparent as higher doses of ostarine are used. Regardless, we would advise running a PCT between cycles if unable to access bloodwork that will confirm testosterone and estrogen status. The basis of this should be a natural testosterone booster such as TEST BOOST, to kickstart your own endogenous production of testosterone. If estrogen related side effects are a concern, an aromatase inhibitor can be added to the PCT stack.

Ostarine is still undergoing clinical trials so we do expect to learn more about it in coming years. As it stands, ostarine is Ostarine is considered an investigational drug that has not yet been approved by the US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) and is banned for use in tested sports by the World Anti-Doping Agency (WADA), so do keep this in mind if you are a competitive athlete.

Ostarine dosage: how much MK 2866 to take

Many brands will sell Ostarine in 10 and 25 mg capsules.

For bulking, we’d advise starting with 25mg and for cutting, start at 10-15mg. MK-2866 can be used in a dosage of up to 30mg per day for advanced users.

For women, 5mg a day is a good place to start.

Ostarine has a half-life of around 24 hours which means it can be taken once per day, without having to split the dose. For a first time user, this is another great benefit as there is less to remember! The exact timing doesn’t matter too much, however it should be consistent. If you find it easiest to take with your vitamins in a morning for example, that is great!

If stacking, a lower dose can be used. When stacking SARMs, we’d always advise starting with the lowest recommended dose of each. Ostarine is incredibly versatile in how it can be stacked, meaning you’re not short of options when looking for the best SARMs stack for you!

We’d advise running a SARMs cycle for up to 8 weeks followed by at least 4 weeks of time off, during which a full PCT will be conducted.

Best Ostarine Cutting Stack:

Ostarine (10-20mg daily)
Cardarine (10mg daily)

Ostarine can be stacked with Cardarine for cutting. While the Ostarine will help you not only maintain muscle, but build new muscle in a calorie deficit, cardarine will support endurance and keep training performance up on low food through a different mechanism to the SARM, being a PPARδ receptor agonist.

For recomp (gaining muscle while simultaneously chasing fat loss), a low dose of Andarine can be added to support the anabolic effects of Ostarine.

Best Ostarine Bulking Stack:

Ostarine (10mg-20mg daily)
Ligandrol (10mg daily)
Ibutamoren (25mg daily)

If bulking, Ostarine and Ligandrol (LGD-4033) is an excellent stack. An optional addition would be MK-677 which can be used to increase appetite if this becomes a limiting factor to the bulk. If utilising MK-677 we recommend learning more about that compound including the ideal MK-677 cycle length.

Ostarine MK 2866 FAQs

How long does ostarine take to work?

With a half-life of around a day, Ostarine can start working within several hours. This means there wouldn’t be additional benefit to taking it pre-workout, unlike other oral supplements. By a couple of weeks into your cycle, the benefits of increased strength and better body composition should be very apparent.

What is the MK 2866 half life?

Ostarine has a half-life of about 24 hours (a full day). This means that, after taking a dose, about half of the amount would be in your system 24 hours later. This longer half-life means that one dose per day is sufficient, unlike other SARMs which might be better split.

Is ostarine safe to take?

As Ostarine has not yet been approved for use, much of the human data we have is annecdotal. Ostarine is considered safer than prohormones, but is not without side effects. We also cannot say for sure what the effects of long-term use are. Always research before starting a new supplement.

Is ostarine legal?

Ostarine is legal to buy and sell. It is however worth noting that Ostarine, and all SARMs, are considered research chemicals. This means that they have not yet been approved for human use at this time. Supplementing with Ostarine is banned in all tested sports by WADA.

Do I need a PCT for ostarine?

While some people would say Ostarine does not require PCT, we would still advise a post cycle therapy of over the counter supplements like a natural testosterone booster to be safe. The only way to know for sure if testosterone has been suppressed is with blood work (recommended).

Is ostarine the best SARM?

Ostarine might not be known for being the ‘most potent’ SARM, but it is the SARM we have the most study data on. For this reason, we would recommend it for first-time users. It is also useful in a variety of settings, from dieting to lean bulking.

Is MK 2866 a steroid?

MK-2866 is not a steroid. Anabolic–Androgenic steroids (AAS), are steroidal androgens whereas SARMs target specific receptors in muscle, fat and bone to illicit an enhanced response. MK-2866 is designed to act selectively on muscle tissue whereas AAS might have side effects on the entire body.

With that said, we wish you luck in your fitness endeavors. If you find you need help with any bodybuilding or fitness issues you may feel free to contact us and we will help you if we can!

LGD-4033 (LIGANDROL)

LGD 4033

LGD-4033 Ligandrol is a SARM, or selective androgen receptor modulator that can give you the results of anabolic steroids without the negative side effects. It promotes an increase in lean muscle mass, better libido, and better stamina. Not only is it great on its own, LGD 4033 is also one of the easiest SARMs to stack.

What is LGD 4033 Ligandrol?

LGD 4033 Ligandrol is a SARM. This means that it is a selective androgen receptor modulators. For this type of compound to work it selectively attaches itself to specific bone or muscle tissues. LGD 4033 itself is known by several names including Ligandrol, Anabolicum, and VK5211.

Although LGD 4033 has been accepted throughout the bodybuilding community as a way to gain muscle, its original intent was to be used as a treatment for muscle wasting and osteoporosis. Ligand Pharmaceuticals were the founders of LGD 4033 and saw its potential to stimulate muscle growth for the users of this SARM. The benefit of using LGD 4033 over anabolic steroids is that you avoid some of the highly negative effects that comes with the use of steroids.

As it was mentioned above, SARMs work by selectively connecting to androgen receptors in both bone and muscle tissue, the same is true for LDG 4033. Because of this selectivity, you can avoid it connecting with your vital organ tissues and causing further problems such as those associated with anabolic steroids.

Animal and Human Studies with LGD 4033 Ligandrol

Since becoming a patented product back in 2009, LGD 4033 has undergone several studies. One of the first studies done with humans had its finding published back in 2010. However, most of these trials done with LGD 4033 have been done with animal species such as mice, rats, and horses.

In one of the studies completed by its creators, Ligand Pharmaceuticals, Ligandrol was tested to see its effects on osteopenic female rats. For this particular study, a twelve week time frame was carved out to assess the effects. The doses of LGD 4033 were varied throughout the study with rats receiving at minimum a dose of 0.03mg/kg and at most 0.3mg/kg per day. Throughout the course of the study and at the conclusion it was found that those female rats that were treated with Ligandrol had an increase in both the bending strength of their bones as well as the bone density.

A study done with humans that was published in 2010, 76 healthy men were subject to various dosages of LGD 4033. The men were first divided into four groups with one group as the placebo. This particular group did not receive the LGD 4033 treatment. The remaining three groups were either administered 0.1mg, 0.3mg or 1.0mg depending on which group they were respectively assigned to. The study ran a total of twenty one days and once this twenty one day period was completed it was surmised that LGD 4033 was well tolerated by the test subjects. In addition to this information it was also deduced that even with LGD 4033 taken over a shorter period of time, participants saw an increase in lean muscle mass.

Pros and Cons of Using LGD 4033 for Bodybuilding

Several benefits exist for the use of LGD 4033 Ligandrol for bodybuilding and fitness and they even outweigh the potential side effects that you may experience. The pros of using Ligandrol include things like increased muscle mass, no anabolic steroid side effects, a strengthened musculoskeletal system, improved stamina, and an increase in libido.

Pros:

No anabolic steroid side effects
Increased Muscle Mass
Strengthens the Musculoskeletal System
Promotes Libido
Higher Stamina

With any compound that goes into your body there is the possibility of side effects. In the case of LGD 4033 Ligandrol, they are very few and usually only occur while your body gets used to the substance. The two main side effects that may occur are dry mouth and headaches. If this seems to get worse over time, it is recommended to speak with a doctor.

Proper Dosages for LGD 4033 Ligandrol

With any SARM, the dose varies for each sex. The typical rule of thumb that has been commonly accepted throughout the bodybuilding and fitness world is that the recommended dose for men be cut in half for women.

When it comes to LGD 4033, a common dose for men ranges between 5mg and 10mg per day on a six week cycle. That means that for a woman looking to take LGD 4033, she should take between 2.5mg and 5mg per day for that period of time.

One other thing to keep in mind is that because of its potency, it is important to implement a PCT or post cycle therapy once you complete your cycle as well as take a six week break before beginning a new cycle with Ligandrol.

The Stackability of LGD 4033 Ligandrol

Many stacks are possible with LGD 4033 Ligandrol that show amazing results within the time frame of the stack. The most common stack of Ligandrol, Ostarine, and Cardarine is listed here for your benefit along with the correct cycle length and doses.

First off, each of these SARMs brings something slightly different to the table. Ostarine for example, has a very similar effect to LGD 4033 where it aids in the creation of lean muscle mass. However, its half life is only twenty four hours where Ligandrol is known to have a half life of twenty four to thirty six hours. Ostarine is also less potent than Ligandrol.

When it comes to Cardarine, you get boosts to other areas that complement the effects of Ostarine and Ligandrol. One of the best parts of using Cardarine is that even as you sit, you’re burning fat. It has also been shown to improve endurance meaning longer workout times, reduce inflammation getting you back to the gym faster, as well as prevent things like plaque buildup in your arteries.

So, you have a bit of background on how these three piggyback off of each other, what about dosages and cycle length and does it matter if you’re a woman or man?

When it comes to stacking, the traditional doses for men that use these three together are fairly simple. LGD 4033 stays at 10mg per day throughout the duration of the stack. This means that for a woman taking this stack, you’ll want to take around 5mg per day of Ligandrol. Both Ostarine and Cardarine are set at 20mg per day for men completing this stack. For women looking to use this stack that means 10mg per day of each of these. A typical cycle length for these is about six weeks.

With that said, we wish you luck in your fitness endeavors. If you find you need help with any bodybuilding or fitness issues you may feel free to contact us and we will help you if we can!
