Overview
The speaker reviews the effects, benefits, and drawbacks of an LGD-4033 (Ligandrol) SARM cycle for muscle building, sharing personal experience, practical tips, and considerations for safe use.
What Is LGD-4033 (Ligandrol)?
- LGD-4033 is a selective androgen receptor modulator (SARM) promoted for muscle growth and strength gains.
- SARMs like LGD-4033 target androgen receptors in muscle and bone more selectively than traditional steroids, which interact with multiple organs and cause more side effects.
- Users often choose LGD-4033 to achieve lean muscle mass with fewer side effects than anabolic steroids.
Benefits and Results
- Notable increases in workout endurance and gradual strength improvement are common over the course of use.
- Gains in muscle mass are possible, particularly with adequate protein intake.
- Enhanced physical performance and faster recovery are typical, especially for those training with high intensity.
- Water retention provides some joint and tendon protection, reducing injury risk during heavy training.
Usage Tips and Practical Advice
- Muscle gain requires sufficient protein; supplements alone are insufficient without proper nutrition.
- High calorie and protein intake are essential during bulking phases for noticeable results.
- To minimize water retention, increase water intake and consider natural diuretics like green tea.
- Allow extra recovery after intense muscle group sessions, especially legs and back.
Side Effects and Risk Management
- Water retention (puffy face, bloating) is a common drawback.
- Testosterone suppression can occur since LGD-4033 occupies androgen receptors; post cycle therapy (PCT) or testosterone base (e.g., TRT, DHEA blends like gear cream) is advised to maintain hormonal balance.
- Some users prefer adding Enclomiphene during and after the cycle to restore natural testosterone production.
Consultation and Support
- The speaker offers coaching and can be contacted via email for personalized guidance and consultations regarding SARMs cycles and nutrition.
Recommendations / Advice
- Monitor protein and calorie intake for successful muscle gain.
- Use recovery days strategically after intense training sessions.
- Address and monitor potential side effects such as water retention and hormonal suppression.
- Consult with professionals or experienced coaches before starting a new supplement regimen.
