Sarms1 Andarine (S-4) & Cardarine (GW-501516) Log

[TheBarbarian]

Good morning everyone,

I've been lurking around the site for nearly 2 weeks now and finally got my shipment in and started my journey today. Some back ground on me, I'm 27, 6'2 240lbs with a football and track background. I've been working out for over 10 years ( weight training and running) and have been doing so clean. ( No steroids, pro hormones, nothing) I feel like I have hit a wall and figured SARMs could help me lean out a little, and maybe give me a push in increasing my runtimes while getting stronger in a few lifts... if not stronger, build muscle endurance and help me knock out more reps at the current weights I'm at.

I have not maxed out in nearly 2 years because I have been working out solo but on my own I've been able to put up 405lb x2 on the bench ( this was maybe 2 months ago) and I typically deadlift and squat 225lbs for 10 reps. I have yet to max out on either in a long time.

I do a lot of pushups, pull-ups, dips, military press, bench, cleans, and light weight squat and deadlift. I run about 15-20 miles a week and plan on increasing to 25.

My dieting is horrible, meaning I have self control but I eat what I want nearly when I want. I'm the kind of guy who get a #2@ McDonalds and 2hr later run 3 miles....I enjoy food. lol. Regardless, I'm planning on cleaning that up, I'm here for advice, support and feedback and to hopefully help anyone if I can along the way.

My goals off this cycle are to drop 10-15 lbs, drop my 2 mile run time to 12:15 from there I may add MK into the mix and go for stronger bench and military press numbers in addition to more reps in my pull-ups and dips

Here are some pics - Day One log is coming

1/28/14 - Tuesday

7am –.5ml S4 tasted horrible. Extremely strong after taste. I cannot compare this to anything I’ve taken because the amount was so little yet packed a powerful punch @ 707am, taste still lingering

7:11 –. 7ml of GW, tasted bad, but not as strong as S4

.5ml seems like nothing but hey that’s the dosage

Empty stomach

1 scoop Mr. Hyde

Chest Day 1/28/14 Tuesday

Bench Press – 135x 20, 225x10(2), 245x10, 275x10, 315x10, 315x8, 315x5, 185x10
Cable Chest workout
Dumbbell Incline – 90x10, 100x10, 110x10
Cable Chest workout
Incline Bench Press – 185x10, 225x10(2)
Isolated lateral Decline Press – 2plates x10 (2), 3 plates x10(2)

Cardio
2 mile run – 16 mins

10 min cycle

2mile run – 15:10

Conclusion: Good workout - not the best, not the worst. I didn’t feel any extreme motivation. Dumbbell decline I felt strong, could have went up to 120lbs. Disappointed in flat bench. Cardio was slow, could of did 6 miles total but extremely sweaty, so opted out. Not a bad 1st day of GW and S4, maybe hasn’t taken stride in my system.

Breakfast: 3 eggs scramble w/ cheese

It's 20mg/ml so its rather potent !

 

[TheBarbarian]

actually if you read a lot of discussions on the supplement it can be taken anywhere from 10-20 mgs/ml

since this was my first day I elected to do more than 10 mgs but less than 20

tomorrow I will do 20mgs

I'm not denying the potency of the supplement I was just speaking of its such a little amount, but I've heard the results are amazing

also just to eliminate confusion I was referring to the strength in taste not the quality of the supplement compared to the other

I'm definitely in to follow. This stack is perfect for shredding up, and I'm sure you will enjoy it!

Will be following your log, bro, I'm about a month into my S-4/GW cycle. One suggestion though...if you're doing high rep strength workouts(hypertrophy-based) then alternate your conditioning(runs) so they're on different days. If you're doing two contrasting types of exercise your body will not adapt strength-wise or you will lessen the results you are getting. If I do lifts on the same days as my conditioning I try to keep my reps in the 10-15 range total. There's also a study that came out that shows that endurance training interferes with strength gains/adaptation. Granted, the exercise they did was leg extensions but the data is pretty conclusive. Just a thought, bro.

Endurance training reduces strength training gains in muscle mass and strength

@ travishibachi, I appreciate the advice, because of my profession, it's kind of more realistic for me to combine weightlifting and cardio. In the time that I have been combining the two, my muscles have been able to perform in all different kinds of conditions and under the worst circumstances.

Some days I only lift, some days are only cardio, I really enjoy running a couple of miles before I lift, then finishing with a couple. I even do a little cross fit. So my workouts may appear odd to some, I weight 240 but I run 4-5x a week easily and I either do 4 miles spilt into 2 miles or straight 3-5 miles.

Keep it coming though, I really like the advice.

How often before you workout do you take your SARMS or do you not follow that and just take AM/PM?

I take mine 30-45 minutes before my workouts. I was doing the split dosing protocol but as RickRock said once it reaches peak blood concentrations it's not going to matter when you dose or if you split the dose into AM/PM. Hope you get some sick gains, bro.
