Good Morning,
This is my first post on the iSarms Forum. I'm looking forward to being part of the community here. I am new to SARMS but not new to bodybuilding overall.
I'm going to preface with my complete stats as it's important to get a background before I present my questions/discussion here:
Age: 33(34 In December). Going by how I look overall I would say I have good youthful genetics. People think I'm anywhere from 23-27. I definitely look better on the outside then I feel on the inside though.
Height: 5' 7.5"(YES, I need to add that 1/2 inch lol. Anyone who's short would likely concur)
Weight: Currently 174
Body fat %: I would say around 8%. I'm not over 10% but I also dont think I'm under 7%. I don't bulk or cut. I stay lean all year round and make small but steady lean gains, in both weight and body comp.
Years of training: Casual Weight training since I was 16/17, but I got very serious and devoted to this lifestyle since I'm 22. I'm a veteran, this isn't my first rodeo. I'm new to SARMS but not to bodybuilding what so ever.
Complete cycle history (compounds, doses, lengths of time, when they were run): I have been on TRT for about 3 years now. 90mg of Test Cyp E5D. This is dosed and written from my endocrinologist. I started with the Test Creams which were entirely ineffective and very expensive. I've never done a "real" cycle. The heaviest gear I've done is Oxandralone/Anavar @50mg/day for around 8 weeks at a time. I ran the Anavar this past spring/summer and the summer before, so once per year. This stacked with the TRT was very effective and I loved the results. Aside from Anavar, I've taken Clenbuterol numerous times, as well as ECA stacks (No, I don't consider these real gear or real cycles but I want to detail my complete history). I ran ECA last about 2 months ago.
PCT for each cycle: None, ever. Aside from some liver clense I've never taken an AI. My E2 is always within range.
Goals: I am really not looking for much mass or strength gains (but strength gains are always welcome). I am really looking for enhanced healing/recovery, improve how my body feels, and body comp improvement is also welcomed.
Supplements (if any): I'm not sure exactly what this entails, as in vitamins and minerals or workout supps/powders. I'll list a bunch of "supps" and will expound if requested.
General idea of nutrition (any food allergies???): Pretty much on point. I focus on macro timing/quality/ratio (p/f/c)/and amount. No allergies. I keep my ratio around 45/35/20 P/C/F. Daily caloric intake average is around 2300 but can range from 2000-2500 depending on the day.
Any other relevant info (injuries, surgeries you've had, etc.): I have a bunch of nagging injuries. Never had any Grade III tears whch caused bruising or required surgery. Most are just tendonosis at this point. I go to an A.R.T. therapist to help breakdown the scar tissue and "re-program" the muscles. It definitely helps and has improve my ROM tremendously. Actual injuries at the moment are primarily my right upper hamstring right near the insertion into he glute, and my right lat near the insertion by the armpit. Also right near the intercostals. The hammy/glute would act up sporadically but last week I pulled it worse than prior occasions. No bruising, little to no swelling, just nagging pain. The lat originally strained a few months ago and it also recurs here and there.
SO ON TO THE TOPIC AT HAND: I am considering running MK-677. The purpose is mainly for enhanced healing and recovery as well as some body composition improvement. I I have read up a lot on MK and it appears to be a great option with low risk for sides. I know MK acts more as GH rather than a true SARM from the reading I've done. What I am not looking for but anticipating is weight gain (I presume mostly from water rather than lean muscle mass). I understand the difference between weight gain from net muscle gain to that of water weight. Again, I'm looking to stay shredded with little to no water retention. I'm uncertain if taking MK with my TRT protocol will enhance the chances for retention. The price appears to deviate quite a bit from different sources. I know that SarmsX is the recommended place to purchase Sarms. The price is almost 3x the cost of other sources, both online and physical brick and mortar supp stores. Is there any way to determine if I have real or fake MK?
I would appreciate as much user feedback as possible: The good, The bad, and The ugly.
Thank you very much in advance and any other follow up questions please ask.
