SARMs are considered as a much safer alternative to steroids for muscle gain. With this drug, you can get all the desired benefits, like fast muscle growth, fat loss, and improved strength without having to be concerned with testosterone suppression, but with some notes, of course. The potential for abuse and harm still exists with SARMs. Therefore, read this quick guide first before you use them.
The Legal Status of SARMs
SARMs may be safe, but in reality, authorities like FDA, EMA, and ASADA considers SARMs as illegal for personal use. These drugs are only legally available for laboratory experiments and studies. Knowing this, you’d rather avoid SARMs at all costs if you plan to join a sports competition. You may find some testimonies online that claimed there wouldn’t be any traceable chemicals from SARMs. You’d better not to trust them. Check the case of Ricky Garard’s to learn the truth.
Are You Safe to Take SARMs?
If you have any of these medical conditions listed below, you are not allowed to take SARMs:
- Liver disease
- Kidney disease

SARMs and Their Use
There are many types of SARMs: Ligandrol, Ostarine, Testolone, and YK11. The first three have the same purpose, which is to boost your muscle gain in the shortest time possible. YK11 is unique because many users have reported that it is the strongest among the four, and it can even increase your bone density.
Ligandrol, Ostarine, and Testolone are taken in a cycle of 8 or 12 weeks with 10 or 20 mg per day. After a cycle, you should take PCT (Post Cycle Therapy) to prevent your natural testosterone production from messing up. But for YK11, you have to take it twice a day with a dose of 5 or 10 mg per injection. And the cycle for this must not be longer than 8 weeks. If this is your first time, make your cycle no more than 6 weeks.
Document Your Conditions
You have to document everything you go through during your SARM cycle so that you can get help fast if anything goes wrong. Note the time of the injection, how many milligrams are there, and how long the effect lasts. If you stack your SARMs, include it on your note. Share this information if you ever need medical attention.
