Thanks, JDD. I have nearly half a bottle left and as I'm not developing gyno or acne I am willing to finish it up.
Are you running and AI on cycle?

Southern SARMs
Starting to have serious doubts. My surge in appetite and strength could easily have been placebo. I'm nearly at the end of week two when it's really supposed to be kicking in beyond placebo and glycogen + water loading. My lifts started to reverse last night, just like they always do at these levels. I mean I am exactly just 2-5% off my best all time lifts...right where you'd expect me to be five years along and a few months out from 40. I thought LGD had "reset" the clock for me and put me back to the point where I'd be making linear gains. What seems to have happened so far is that I got excited, ate more, and put more effort into my training. But now reality is setting in.
I will probably finish this bottle since I paid for it. But I'm starting to think that this might all have been hype. I keep reading that people got "good" results with LGD-4033, but there is precious little info on actual increases in lifts, which to me are the only real metric that matters, especially for an experienced lifter with decent numbers.
And then there's the complication about the quality from various sources. Half the discussion on SARMs is whether or not the various retail suppliers are actually putting enough of the chemicals in their product...or any chemicals at all. And on various sites it is verboten to discuss sources. So we are getting excited about things that will at best work less well than existing AAS but without even knowing if we're even getting the actual stuff.
I think the next thing I'm going to look into is test.
Thanks for the detailed update. I don't trust RC products for anything, whether it be SARMs, ancillaries, or peptides. All it took for me was one blown pct and I'll never use another RC for anything. Yes, plenty of good experiences. I mean anything labeled for "research" and "not for human consumption" is an instant alibi to under-dose or flat out sell bunk garbage.

Which one are you on?
I feel fine giving my honest opinion here , don't be afraid to say if you think a company is crap or is great , regardless I'm allways gonna give my opinion
I'm just so used to seeing warnings at different sites like "DO NOT DISCUSS SOURCES". I don't see how that helps consumers at all.
Well, that's the thing. Every company has someone somewhere saying something bad about it. I have no idea who is "trusted".
No such thing as "trusted" companies.
So I should save my money for food instead of experimenting on getting scammed?
Not bitter. Just want an opinion. If anything, I'll wait till my next meet which will be untested and populated with some big names that I know can put me on to more traditional and reliable stuff.
:arms: bravo...well said. The only way to find out is jump in. Everyone responds differently. And T-bone is right on the money when he says "be honest with yourself" love it and can't wait to do my run of LGD/GW
I haven't tried their SARMS yet, but Hardcore peptides has been very goodWell, that's the thing. Every company has someone somewhere saying something bad about it. I have no idea who is "trusted".
I've had great experiences with that^
I can say this about Hardcore Peptides: I have their Exemestane, although I haven't used it - but their order processing and shipping is top notch. The prices are good and I hope the product is OK too!

I might have spoken too soon...
A few factors contributed to my lifts going down right about when I thought they'd be going up at the two-week mark. But I went to the gym yesterday after having rested a lot more and addressed some debilitating inflammation in my thighs with DMSO and Absorbine.
I was able to do six sets of doubles with 225 on the bench. I suck at bench (I'm built to deadlift) and have always had trouble getting above 225 for any length of time. In fact, last month I couldn't even bench 225 at all. So while a total of 12 reps with it divided by six sets doesn't seem like much, it is a minor miracle for me. This is about as strong as I've ever been on bench. My best paused bench in raw meets several years ago was 242 lbs. Based on yesterday's performance 225 feels like a 4 or 5-rep max. I was able to touch and go with 240 last week and this week I'm confident I could do 245. My very best touch and go was 255 or 260 (can't remember which and don't feel like finding the log) about three years ago. So I am indeed still moving (rocketing) toward breaking my all time highs on my worst compound lift.
And there's also the fact that I did my biggest ever front squat last week (285 @ 178) without even practicing the lift for three years.
And this is totally subjective...but I think my traps and delts are starting to get a hint of that something-exogenous-has-been-exciting-my-androgen-receptors look.
I'm guessing my source properly dosed my LGD 4033. But they have sucked at getting back to me and I'm going to go with a more highly recommended source (thanks DMA) and run LGD 4033 for another month or two.
I squatted okay after benching, but I'll have a better measure of progress there when I squat without benching first. Next session is bench only (I can bench three times per week and squat twice and make progress), then the session after that is squat only. I'll report back again after that.
Good to hear man. Keep us posted. Makes me look forward to my LGD run.
