Ostarine has benefits for partitioning macros but not as much as LGD-4033. The main benefits of ostarine are muscle retention as it isn't as anabolic as LGD-4033 or other more anabolic sarms.
The GH from mk 677 will be low dose, I am looking to get a two month supply and use it longer term.
At lower doses there are studies that show it to elevate GH levels almost as much as hugger doses, high doses give more igf1 which is better for muscle building, but elevated GH is good for fat building and retaining muscle.
As for the cardarine? That will help energy levels which I can't expect will be very good.
Also, cannot say I expect to see much scale movement as the mk 677 causes a lot of water retention.
Low dose Mk677 shouldnt have you holding water and you wont be eating carbs to even pull water in. Water weight is not going to be a worry... LGD would actually be better at retaining the muscle because it is more anabolic... If it is a better bulker then it is going to make you retain more mass... Just how it works... However nothing wrong with osta for this use since only trying to retain...
Well I mean bro that isn't that bad of a cheat haha but I know what you mean it starts to get to you. Have you thought about ec stack to go along with it? Imo impossible without doing something to curb appetite.
I'll give you that my friend it is insanely hard. Do you have a busy lifestyle or lots of free time?
Something's that helped me was also doing IF on it. Made it manageable lol.
It IS A HORRIBLE CHEAT, everything about that meal is WRONG for this diet. Might as well call that Day 0 because it was not part of a PSMF diet.
Sorry
Southpaw if I sound like a big D, he took us through 10 pages of build up to walk out of this diet a few days in last time. Now he has blown the basic premise on Day 1 or 2... He needs some tough love to get through this time...
Finished a heavy workout. Very basic.

With this diet, you aren't working out hard. At all. The point is that you don't need to.
From the book:
Studies routinely show that both volume (number of sets, amount of aerobic training done) and frequency (days/week) can be cut back significantly (by up to 2/3rds) as long as intensity (weight on the bar, speed) is maintained. Given those parameters, performance can be maintained for many weeks.
If you’re as overtrained as most athletes, cutting back on your training during a crash diet will act as a minitaper, you might even show some improvement. But don’t hold your breath.
"
This means you should lift as heavy as you do normally with less volume it does not mean do an all 3x8 reps scheme... you want to save the performance lift heavy now but about half the sets as normal... Intensity should be high and volume low. Think 1 upper push workout, 1 lower workout, and 1 upper pull workout a week hitting 3x5 work sets maybe 2 exercises per body part. That way frequency and volume are much lower but you are maintaining performance and strength levels. If your body doesn't think it needs to maintain muscle tissue for heavy lifting I promise it will decide to get rid of it even on a PSMF. Its about efficiency and specificity...
Well, having read the book years ago, I forgot about the section on electrolyte supplements. That's my own fault however it's a ****ty way to go about dieting to be honest.
I want to try it to say I could do something that I never thought I could do before.
And yes, I think if I go in 2-3 day bursts followed by a 250g carb refeed and a heavy upper/lower split with low volume (today's workout took me 30 minutes) then yep I'm in for a better ride.
After the last time you are coming back to do another round but did not reread the book again?
Are you going to do a damn PSMF or not man??? I really want to see you do this and succeed, if for nothing else so you can beleive in yourself. You obviously need this. Start by doing it right and just for 2 weeks then if you can go farther. Also there are ZERO refeeds until after the first 2 weeks co no you will NOT have had 3 refeeds by the 20 day mark, at that point you will have only had 1 at the end of the initial 2 weeks.
C'Mon man do this damn thing right!!!
For anyone else interested this diet works quite well when done correctly. Even for someone who is not obese it works quite well. Hopefully
stevencfitnes will do it correctly this time and show everyone that it is not only an option but a good one when used properly and with things tuned in correctly.
C'Mon Steven, you came back here for a reason. You knew us pain in the asses would come and hold you accountable. Not start this thing over today and do it correctly that first day with poptarts and nonsense DOES NOT COUNT!!!! Lets do this bro. I can't be the only guy on here to finish this thing... Do it, but do it right, it is 2 weeks until a refeed you can make it! DO IT RIGHT!!!!!
