Lecture Notes on S4 (Andarine) by Coach Greg

Introduction

• Speaker: Coach Greg
• Topic: S4 (also known as Andarine)
• Disclaimer: Not a doctor, S4 is for research only, not for human use.

What is S4?

• Type: SARM (Selective Androgen Receptor Modulators)
• Function: Binds to androgen receptors in muscles, promoting growth similar to steroids but with arguably fewer side effects.
• Legal Status: Legal to purchase as a research chemical but not for human consumption.

Effects of S4

• Performance Use: Not legal in sports like the Olympics.
• Estrogenic Side Effects: None (no gynecomastia, water retention, or bloating).
• Androgenic Effects: Increases aggression and intensity in the gym.
• Anabolic Effects: Accelerated muscle growth (5-10 times faster).
• Comparison with Other SARMs: Weaker than RAD-140 and LGD, more similar to Ostarine.

Side Effects

• Balding: Possible in those prone to male pattern baldness.
• Testosterone Suppression: Decreased natural testosterone production, lower libido, and energy.
  • Need for PCT (Post Cycle Therapy).
• Liver Impact: Potentially increases liver enzymes.
• Cardiovascular Effects: May alter cholesterol levels (lower HDL, higher LDL).
• Blood Pressure: Generally not affected.
• Kidney Issues: No significant effects observed.

Usage Recommendations

• Who Should Use: Not for bulking, intended for cutting and achieving a lean, athletic look.
• Dosages:
  • Women: 10-20 mg/day
  • Men: 25-75 mg/day
  • Administration: Divide doses 2-3 times a day to avoid side effects.

Personal Experiences and Observations

• Coach Greg's Experience:
  • Transitioned from LGD to S4.
  • Found S4 less potent than LGD.
  • Noticed enhanced muscle tension and workout intensity after dosing.
• Comparison to Other SARMs: Prefers LGD and RAD-140 over S4.

Conclusion

• Overall Assessment: S4 is a weaker SARM, better suited for cutting, and carries potential risks and side effects.
• Final Reminder: Use cautiously, adhere to appropriate dosages, and consider potential health impacts.
