Hi all. Needing some input. I'm a newbie to the 'idea' of sarms and would like a bit of input.
I'm a female, age 51, 5'9", 143lbs, 27% BF.
Live a fairly healthy lifestyle, stay active, gym 3 days a week w a trainer, and typically walk daily. But, it's too cold here now, so not walking. I have achieved 24% BF in the past, but it literally took working out 5x/week + 2x/week w a trainer.
I have been working out consistently for 10 years, (just dropped gym time this past year from 7xweek to 3x/week) but not getting what I want. I do track macros. I was doing 40/40/20 w my old trainer, but now doing 35/50/15 (but usually it's closer to 30/50/20). protein/carbs/fats. Play tug of war w my trainer on amount of protein. I like higher protein, he likes higher carbs for workouts. I eat a lot of oatmeal, sweet potatoes, fruits, coconut, nuts, almond milk, and chicken, and I use whey protein and BCAA's. I do include some red meats, just not a huge red meat fan. I use multi grain breads on occasion (not a big bread fan), and some corn tortillas.
I have never been extremely athletic, so muscle would be a new idea to my body.
It appears no matter what I do I can't get the results I want and it's beyond difficult to stay motivated.
I take daily multivitamins, Omega 3/6, magnesium (500-1000 mg/day) --due to restless leg syndrome, vitamin D, vitamin C, and vitamin E.
I am also on HRT and add 100mg progesterone daily.
I've been researching HGH and came across Sermorelin and this forum as well. I've been reading lots here.
Bloodwork shows I am IGF deficient, and I have Sermorelin that should be delivered within the next day or so. I love the anti-aging effects that may come w the Sermorelin. But, my overall goal is this:
I want to tone and lean out alot. Hoping I can get to 18-19%BF. It appears that I may be one of those lucky non-responders to HIIT, so we are back to increasing weight. We do monitor heart rate while working out. My recovery is unreal, like I drop heart rate on an extreme slope compared to many others (even those in their 20's).
Goal weight: 130-132lbs. (but size and being lean is more important than the number). Anti-aging, strengthening my core and overall toning.
Question:
After reading and watching some videos, it appears that I may need to add something like ipamorelin with the sermorelin or would the MK766 be a better combo to attain the anti-aging, weight loss, and toning I wish to achieve?
Any thoughts on continuing to take the BCAA's along w the sermorelin? dose is prescribed at 20 units nightly when it arrives, but is timing better prior to workout, or prior to going to bed? Also, was told to dose at least 2hrs after eating. But, I usually try to eat something like oatmeal w/whey protein an 1-2 hrs. prior to working out.
I work out in the evenings due to my work schedule. Usually like at 10pm in the evenings. When the weather is nice, I walk in the mornings (fasted) and often again in the evening at midnight when I get home from working out.
Hope I got all the info. needed here. Sorry for the long post.
