I've read several threads about which sarms would be best for things such as MMA and metabolic conditioning workouts, etc and I was curious to get some opinions on the following:
I've found GW to be very helpful in improving aerobic capacity but it seems to be limited to monostructural exercises such as long distance rowing, biking, running, etc.
On the other hand, I've found it (run solo)to hinder activities that rely primarily on glycolytic energy system as apposed to the oxidative or aerobic system. Activities such as MMA, metcons, low rep strength training, etc would primarily rely on carbohydrates and the glycolysis system as the intensity would be higher.
I guess my question would revolve around why that would be the case. I suspect it could be that GW forces the body to utilize fat and the oxidative energy system instead of the phoshagen or glycolysis? Furthermore, I would assume the the increase in the PPAR gene in slow twitch muscle fibers would also contribute to less power and explosive athletic ability as those are primarily associated with fast twitch muscle fibers.
With that being said, I did find there to be a better synergy when combined with RAD and SR and not the substantial decline in activities that rely on glycolytic energy system. However, RAD tanked my lipid profile just like a pro-hormone.
So, I guess I'm also still trying to figure out the best combination for an athlete that's NOT purely in an endurance sport such as long distance running or triathlons. I realize most ready this are primarily into body building and this thread isn't your cup of tea.
