This is a discussion post for people that have time and want to learn, teach, give input, provoke thoughts or have their thoughts provoked.

If you are toxic and hate on people just because they are mistaken or do not know something gtfo.

I have been looking into all craniofacial growth mechanisms and identified which factors drive them and at which age they stop and why.: Sutures and growth plates close at 17-19/18-22 which eliminates two major growth mechanisms. What is left is periosteal apposition and pathogenic growth via GH excess aka. "acromegaly".

Your bone is also in a constant homeostasis (homeostasis means balance, imagine it like a 50/50 "balance"). This balance exists because you have some catabolic (means deconstruct, destroy, remove, take away...) cells in your bone called osteoclasts and some anabolic (means build, grow, add, construct...) cells in your bone called osteoblasts. Both of them are supposed to be in a balanced ratio (homeostasis) which ensures that the bone constantls deconstructs and constructs itself simultaneously.

However you can throw off this balance unnaturally in the favour of our goals. If you reduce the osteoCLASTS (catabolic) and increase the osteoBLASTS (anabolic) you throw off the 50/50 balance, disrupt the homeostasis and create a "anabolic environment". An environment that net grows, constructs.

Steroids bind to androgen receptors. Androgen receptors are distributed all over your body. In your skeletal muscles, your prostate, your skin, your hair follicles, your liver and your bones. Regarding the bones they are distributed in a "male pattern" though (the same way they are distributed on your scalp in a "male pattern". That is why hormonally caused hair loss presents itself in the same pattern in everyone). You have more androgen receptors in your zygos, mandible/gonials, chin and browridge than elsewhere. So if you were to take steroids they would dock to those specific areas, upregulate osteoblasts creating an anabolic environment and:

Cause the outter layer of the bone called the "periosteum" to slowly add layer on layer on layer.

Steroids docking to those ARs also makes the periosteum (the outter layer on the bone) produce IGF1 locally which is even more potent for bone growth than systemic IGF1 from the liver.

Regarding the "pathogenic growth via GH excess aka. acromegaly" it basically means giving yourself a mini acromegaly. Additionally HGH does not just upregulate systemic IGF 1 via the liver but also docks to GH receptors in bone directly and produces IGF1 locally which as said: Is more potent than systemic IGF1.

(Then there is ofc mechanical stuff like MSE, MARPE, thumbpulling, mouthguard, chewing. And unorthodox stuff like bonesmashing or vibrational stuff, bee pollen I think?)

That is the theoretical part. How this plays out practically? I have no clue. How to apply this practically? I do not know.

I do not know whether the androgenic or the anabolic aspect of the compound is what matters. I do not know whether it is about the the gear being non-selective and thus being more prone to docking everywhere and guaranteeing that all the bone is being docked to. Or whether it is the opposite, the gear being very selective like SARMs. Because the effect of Ostarine and S4 on bone density has been more potent than testosterone and DHT for example.

As you can tell I really need some dialogues to bring me forward.

DNR and "You are just wrong" will not get me anywhere, save your time and be a better person.

Thanks for reading and looking forward to your feedback.

This is the kind of useless comment that I meant. No explanation, no substance, just disregard and disrespectful attitude. Save your time and leave it be next time.

Good thread ig
But keep in mind that androgens aren't sufficient for an optimal periosteal response, you also need low e2 to have a higher periosteal mechanosensitivity.
Also, doesn't IGF-1 activate both bone formation and resorption? which usually ends up in favoring resorption.
Now onto my questions
What magnitude and frequency of mechanical loading are required to multiply these effects? Is Marpe sufficient?
do the mandible, maxilla, and other facial bones respond differently from long bones?
And also, u didn't prove a single claim with evidence, so for now, I am going to deem this thread as redundant.

I agree with u, let's see if he has any evidence to back his claims up.

At the same time e2 downregulates osteoclasts though so this is very nuanced. Regarding igf1 favoring resorption idk. I am looking it up rn.

Androgens dock to ARs and express themselves it is not an unorthodox concept or anything but I still found some studies for you to look into:
Title: The Effects of Anabolic Steroids on Bone
Author: Kim D. McCauley et al.
Published in: Bone & Joint Research, 2013

Title: Effects of Anabolic Steroids on Bone Density and Periosteal Expansion in Humans
Author: J. R. P. Yates et al.
Published in: Journal of Clinical Endocrinology & Metabolism, 2002

both show periosteal thickening in response to androgens

and this one in rats so idk if it counts in your opinion:
Title: The effects of anabolic steroid use on the periosteal bone growth in rats
Author: G. M. Shayanfar et al.
Published in: Bone, 2007

and in case you also need proof for the existence of sexually dimorphic "male pattern" locational AR density differences in the skull:
  • Title: Distribution of androgen receptors in human and rat skeletal tissues
  • Authors: Michael P. Brizola et al.
  • Journal: Journal of Bone and Mineral Research, 2003


So I looked up IGF1 mediated bone resorption and you are right in the sense that igf1 is both involved in resorption as well as formation but we need to look at the net outcome which is favouring osteoblast proliferation. Resorption is moreso influenced by RANKL.

Regarding MARPE and MSE idk, I do not qualify for neither so I stopped looking into it.

And regarding your answer to the other guy who says "no mogger bones" or something, I never claimed that. I outlied theoretical framework with no practical guide or intention at all. This is a discussion post not a guide or call to action. And the skepticism with no elaboration, substance is honestly one of the things that is holding back this community. I even declared how unsure I am about the whole practical application of this in the end of my post.

Just because something is not "as clear as day" or controversial or tedious and inconvenient etc. does not mean it is guaranteedly "cope". In fact it is probably moreso cope to disregard something because you could not muster up the patience and focus to evaluate it and think it through. this is not a personal attack, it is moreso about the community and the guy you replied to.

I never claimed that androgens wouldn't cause periosteal thickening
I just said that it isn't optimal, and the response would be way better in combination with low e2
Also, pls send me the links to the study. I'm not going to waste my time searching it up.
One last thing, idk why, but I have a gut feeling that this response is AI-generated
I'm not saying that it is since I have no proof, but I am very skeptical of the way u are writing.
@aids, sorry to bother u, is this AI by chance? My detector shows 100% human, but I'm not sure
If it is, I'm no longer responding to u since u are wasting my time

Atp if you are skeptical of me even being human or not I totally understand why you would doubt everything I wrote too. You are not getting links, if you do not have the dedication to copy and past title author and date/journal I doubt you would have the dedication needed for lm. And if you have the time to write a response but not paste the studies then you also do not have the prioritisation skills needed cuz wdym you can write down you suspect I am AI but do not have the time to copy paste some studies.

Do I seem more human now that I used atp and smh and have more of a toxic chronically online attitude like what you are familiar with?

if u are not AI, why can't you send me the links? Is ChatGPT not working :lul:
@aids, I no longer need you. I can confirm this nigga is full AI
jfl if u actually think ur getting a cm of bone growth using sarms
Do this forum a favor and delete ur fucking account, then proceed by jumping off a bridge :D

Shut up faggot. Your ONE reference is hallucinated. Your entire thread is inspired by AI. You know NOTHING.

Thank you for responding and taking the time, even though u didn't need to. :love:
You are the goat for a reason.
I promise from now on I will only tag u in serious shit.
Forgive me, my master 🙏

It’s no problem bruh.
I was just replying to OP, the author doesn’t exist nor does that study (albeit from my quick searches on mobile but should be no difference).
