  1. MK-677

    For those interested, I'm the guy who noted an insufficient Total Testosterone response to Clomid, and pointed out that at least one study showed suppression of TT associated with MK-677. I said I'd stop taking it for that reason. But then I got my Free Testosterone results back and they were...
  2. MK-677

    I only checked it out for one day, actually. My own bloods showed an increase in total T in the one month following the beginning of 30mg/day of MK677. However, I was contemporaneously taking 50mg/day of Clomid. The expected increase in total T for Clomid is around double. I'm assuming that my...
  3. MK-677

    If the study is reliable: * Taking mk677 will lower your total testosterone level * It might not matter if mk677 lowers your total testosterone level, because your free testosterone might stay the same. I'll report back in a little over a month and let everyone know what mine looks like.
  4. MK-677

    This was probably in this thread somewhere, but it looks like Mk 677 does lower testosterone values. (ah, I can't post links yet. "Discrepancy between serum leptin levels and total body fat in response to the oral growth hormone secretagogue Mk-677." I purchased the full text) By 40-120ish...
  5. MK-677

    Oh, I'm not expecting exogenous HGH-type results. I'm simply interested in some results. The question I'm essentially raising - because I don't know much about this stuff - is where is the difference? Exogenous HGH will spike GH levels to supraphysiological levels. MK-677 is a secretagogue...
  6. MK-677

    I don't experience any lethargy from it. I do sleep better, though the difference is not dramatic. More impressive is what Burnfire said: I feel more refreshed with less sleep. The hunger pains have at least temporarily gone away after one week on it.
  7. MK-677

    I'm somewhat leery of the studies however. I'm primarily interested in strength - but more particularly for increased mass-specific force in sprint performance. I note that Dr. Ho's study on HGH injections showed a significant (4-5%) improvement in sprint performance. I understand that...
  8. MK-677

    On Day 4 of MK-677 at 25/day. I've noticed nothing but extreme hunger. I'm also dismayed that the only clinical studies I've seen on it show no increases in strength, just in fat-free mass. Increasing strength without disturbing my rising testosterone levels (recently prescribed 50mg/Clomid a...
  9. Sprinting SARMS

    Thanks, I've actually been picking through that thread for a few hours now.
  10. Sprinting SARMS

    Any thoughts on how MK-677 might impact a sprinter? I know a lot of sprinters are on growth hormone injections (see the Dwain Chambers protocol by Conte) but I'm not sure if a secretagogue like MK-677 would provide any noticeable benefits.
  11. Adding a SARM to my SERM?

    I'm going to be looking into it. Thank you!
  12. Sprinting SARMS

    With the sprints, you're primarily working the hamstrings as extensors of the hips. At the start, there's more quad activation. Shoulders/arms are used to counterbalance the rotation at the hips. It's actually fascinating when you understand the mechanics of it. There's nothing wrong with...
  13. Adding a SARM to my SERM?

    Right. With the short sprints in track, Vo2 max is never implicated because the entire races are essentially anaerobic.
  14. Sprinting SARMS

    Thanks for the responses. I'm already on creatine. Been on a Charlie Francis-style program for a few years. Just found out I've got low T and have been essentially spinning my wheels for the last 3 years. I've got this idea that I can make up for lost time by SARMing. It depends on what sort...
  15. Adding a SARM to my SERM?

    I've been trying to figure out GW; are there strength benefits at all? In general, endurance increases come at the expense of speed gains. If GW can help increase power AND endurance, awesome. I'm very interested in mk677.
