hello, quick intro so as to not upset anyone, then ill get into my question
Age 25
Height 6'
Weight 230lb and dropping
Body fat % probably 25-30. no great way to check
Years of training. HA. ages 15-19 steady. 19-25 very sporadic and usualy 2-3 months at a time
Complete cycle history. HA at 22 I realized I fucked up and let myself get fat and weak. started out strong dieting/working out, became conscerned about muscle loss and started using anavar to spare muscle. did a nolva PCT. no blood work was done. forgive me.
PCT for each cycle
Goals. loose weight, reach 15% bodyfat or less, proceed with mild testosterone cycle to further recomp body and to lessen the fat gain after resuming a more relaxed diet.
Supplements (if any) vitamins/minerals, omega 3 etc. just the basics
General idea of nutrition. once upon a time in my younger years (16-19) I lived for this lifestyle, studied nutrition for hours every day. Ive forgotton much of what I learned however.
Any other relevant info: as a 19 year old and completly natural, I had built a very impressive body. I peaked at around 200-205lb at 12%body fat (at 19yo) and was in awesome shape. worked at a gym and would lift weights inbetween customers just for fun kind of life style. then the real world hit, jobs relationships etc. basically said good bye to the gym and to proper nutrition. my job is sedentary and can be 16+ hours some days with no schedule. so yeah I got fat.
at my heaviest I was 280lbs. Ive dieted down to 230lbs now and am still going at it. my diet is a ketogenic diet, based loosely off the Dave Palumbo diet (i used this in Highschool with awesome results) I have been aiming for 1%body weight reduction per week. its going quite well. ocasionally i will come in over my weekly goal, and will post pone my carb refeed until I have hit that target.
Anyways I dont want to waste your time or my own. Basically I am again concerned about sparing muscle while dieting, as well as keeping my metabolism from crashing. I have heard of SARMS before however never really looked into them before today. There are a couple things that intrigued me, so I just want to quickly find out from the experts if SARMS are right for me, before wasting a bunch of time on researching them.
What I have come to understand is
SARMS are taken orally
SARMS wont shut down your HPTA, thus no PCT required?
SARMS are useful for weight loss and muscle sparing
SARMS are generally considered to be safe?
If all those assumptions are correct, How would one determine weather or not using SARMs is right for them?
Am I looking for fast results? yeah obviosuly. But im also willing to take shit seriously, keep my diet on point and do whatever "shit work" may be required to do it properly.
