LGD 4033 (Ligandrol) is a potent SARM typically used by weightlifters for bulking purposes due to its positive effects on muscle strength and hypertrophy. You can get exceptional strength gains on LGD 4033, even when in a calorie deficit. We find that adding 30+lbs to a squat or bench press 1RM is relatively common after a cycle of LGD 4033, with its effects on strength being superior to its ability to add lean muscle. LGD 4033 does not produce any notable fat loss, unlike Ostarine or Cardarine, making it more optimal for bulking than cutting. MK-677, also often called Ibutamoren or Nutrobal, is generally lumped in with SARMs however it is not technically a SARM. In chemistry language this compound is called a “non-peptide agonist of the ghrelin receptor” and a “growth hormone secretagogue”. MK-677 not only increases the amount of growth hormone and insulin-like growth factor 1 (IGF-1) released, but can do so without causing an increase in cortisol levels. Cortisol is a stress hormone that can cause you to lose muscle mass – so keeping it under control is critical not only for making gains, but preserving existing muscle. MK-677 causes an elevation of IGF-1 levels for up to 24 hours after a dose, and IGF-1 increases protein synthesis in skeletal muscle, essentially keeping you in a heightened anabolic and muscle building state for a full 24 hours.
