SARMs and Ostarine in Bodybuilding and Sports

SARMs and Ostarine in Bodybuilding and Sports

Because SARMs have been widely used by atletes to gain an advantage in stamina, strength and physical fitness they have been banned by the World Anti-Doping Agency in January 2008. Since then, several athletes have been caught and disqualified because they tested positive to Ostarine.

Professional bodybuilders mostly use S-22 (Ostarine) in between steroid cycles to maintain the progress while off testosterone. For novices MK-2866 is a good start as it does not require injections and does not damage the liver (like oral steroids mostly do). Also there are no side effects which are usually associated with steroid use. Ostarine is used for both lean muscle gains and reducing body fat or recomping (both bulking and cutting fat at the same time).

Libido increase by Ostarine

It has been observed that Ostarine while taken in oral tablet form, significantly increases sex drive (libido). For this purpose the dose is 15mg to 30mg per day. At 30mg/day dose some people prefer to split it into 15mg in the morning and 15mg in the evening.

For some reason Ostarine dissolved in oil does not produce the same libido heightening effect as the oral tablet form. It takes about 5-7 days to notice the libido increase.

Ostarine side effects

There is a lot of conflicting information floating around on various bodybuilding forums, mainly due to sellers who push SARMs and make wild claims while on the other side people with no first hand experience making uneducated guesses. This “information” then gets perpetuated and repeated.

Most people seem to agree that natural testosterone suppression caused by Ostarine is relatively light if there is any. To counter this, people use mild PCT (for example 500mcg of HCG once per 3-4 days during and 2 weeks after the Ostarine cycle).

Bodybuilders are reporting elevated blood pressure when dosing Ostarine above 15mg per day. This is increase is temporary and goes back to normal within a few days after the S22 cycles has ended.

Actual effects of Ostarine

A seasoned bodybuilder might be dissappointed while looking for rapid bulking effects he would be accustomed to from steroid use. The steroid induced, rapidly gained volume is mostly water. To be able to trully appreciate Ostarine for what it does, give it some time and look for the strenght increase and slower muscle gain (without the watery look). Ostarine would be perfect for an UFC fighter because of the increase in muscle strength, speed and control without much added mass.

These are the observable Ostarine effects:

• increase in overall muscle strength and performance
• decrease in body fat
• increase in lean muscle (without water retention)
• increased libido (with oral tablet form)
• increased bone density and strength
• improved mobility in tendons, ligaments and joints
• increased endurance
