Power endurance athlete here. My training consists of a lot of steady state volume with hard intervals twice 3x a week and weights twice a week. I do 2-3 sessions a day. I’ve been on a cycle of GW501516 for 4.5 weeks now to ramp up my steady state volume and build my aerobic base. It was my first experience with performance enhancers besides modafinil. I lost some fat as a result, but that wasn’t necessarily the main goal. Anyway, the limiting factor in my workouts has become my hips. The tendons will become very tight and painful, and I have to roll out on a lacrosse ball and ice every night so they don’t lock up on me right at the start of my next workout. I’ve been beating up my body pretty badly and I don’t want to risk injury, so I’m going to stop the cardarine and cut back the volume a bit for 2 weeks and let my body recover.
My first question is about the cardarine. If I want to use it for an acute performance boost over a single day (not a race, just to hammer out a massive day of volume once a week or so), would just taking it on that morning have an affect? Or would I need to take it for a couple days and let it build up in my system? I’m considering just taking it once a week in the future on an ongoing basis for a few months.
On to MK677, has anyone used this in power endurance sports? I’ve heard it increases growth hormone, and can help joints and tendons repair. So I think it could help my hips recover faster. I’ve also heard it can raise blood pressure though. I don’t need a huge performance boost right now as I’m only in training, but I need to recover faster so I can put in more volume and build up my base. If I go this route, I would do an 8 week cycle. I would probably add cardarine to the mix in the last 4 weeks of the cycle if it is going well.
