Week 2 is done – it has sucked

Week one was great. My gym workouts were way better and everything was fine.

Then the insomnia began. Four nights in a row the worst insomnia I’ve ever had. OK after that came the sore throat & head cold.

Not the worst head cold but bad enough to stop me going to work & the gym.

If this is what SARMs do then whats the fucking point?

I just cut my dose back down to 50% which is what it was in the first week. If the sides dont stop I will ditch the Ostarine & never take SARMs ever again.

Waiting to see.

UPDATE: Figured out my sinus infection was caused by black mold exposure at work – nothing to do with the SARM

I am giving Ostarine a try. My first ever PED after 35 years of bodybuilding and weightlifting. I am on week 2. Week one was great. I noticed a 20% greater resilience in the gym. More pump.

This week I got hit with terrible insomnia. Worse than normal insomnia although we have had a heat wave here with high humidity & mosquitos at night. After 4 nights in a row there was a 6 degree celsius temperature drop & I got a midsummer cold.

Its dawned upon me that the insomnia is a symptom of magnesium deficiency. Aggravated by the climate sure but its still not normal.

SARMs clearly must dramatically increase your magnesium requirement. Vitamin D and Zinc also.

So I started supplementing & will continue to do so for the next six weeks. Kind of a shame but there you go. I wonder how many other SARM side effects are nutrition related?

Creatine also needs to be used with increased magnesium intake. Doing so dramatically improves strength gains.

For a triple bang do SARMs, creatine & Magnesium together.

Some time ago now a new type of bodybuilding drug hit the market. This family of drugs quickly became popular because of dramatic improvements in athletic ability, healing and muscle mass.

Initial reports were that there were zero or very few side effects with these drugs so pretty much everybody that could get hold of them began using them.

The drugs I am talking about are Anabolic Steroids in the middle of the 20th century.

Now some years later people began dying young. Heart attacks, cancer mainly.

Well today we see the same initial optimism surrounding SARM’s. They do indeed seem safer than the old Anabolic Steroids but I dont think you should be using this stuff in your pre middle age years.

If you do opt to use them use only the second generation stuff from a medically approved research lab.

I personally do intend to use SARM’s carefully & selectively but thats because I am just shy of 50. When I get to 70 I may even take Anabolic Steroids if there is nothing better going by then. Of course there will be.

So forget about SARM’s in your teens, 20s & 30’s. Even early 40’s. What happens if 20 years from now users start dropping of cancer?

If you are already old the risk is worth it. Us oldies are in mortal combat against impending death. We can take a margin of risk.
