Post-SARM Bloodwork (+25kg, LGD4033)

[MogsMost]

I have been taking SARMs on and off since 2023. I have done probably 3 full cycles and a few more half ass cycles in that time. All LGD-4033. Usually 5mg - 7.5mg per day. Over the past 2-3 years I have put on over 25kgs, going from 68kg to over 94kg at my peak. Now off cycle for a couple months and sitting at 90kg.

I PCT'd one time with Enclomiphene for probably like 2 weeks before I convinced myself I was getting side effects and discontinued use.

20 years old, male, 6'3, 90kg.

Results of my bloods are as follows.
Fertility is fine, test is within normal range (I had very average testosterone to begin with).
Can't complain. Obviously nothing is going to be insanely good because of my neglect to do proper PCT but all things considered this is pretty good lmao.

SARMs fearmongering is retarded!

Hormone	Your Value	Range	Assessment
Testosterone	19.9 nmol/L (574 ng/dL)	8.3–29	Good
Free Testosterone	457 pmol/L	255–725	Good
LH	4.2 IU/L	<7	Optimal
FSH	3 IU/L	<7	Good
Estradiol	130 pmol/L	<150	Ideal
Prolactin	281 mIU/L	40–450	Normal
SHBG	27 nmol/L	11–71	Ideal

Hormone	Result	Assessment
IGF-1	48	Good
DHEA-S	5.9	Normal
Cortisol	110	Very low

Life after ignoring .org retards and being your own lab rat.

Can I ask why SARMs and not just Test e?

i dont really think its about fearmongering and more that sarms are heavily disappointing compared to just doing test, only real benefit is accessibility

Commitment level and side effects. Doing testosterone is a lifelong commitment in my opinion. Need to handle aromatisation, PCT, fertilitiy using hCG or alike. Also I started SARMs when testosterone wasn't an option for me and it worked so I kept doing it. Also test ages you and that's gay.

There is definitely a let of fearmongering. You need to be realistic about your expectations though I agree. Could probably achieve similar results by blasting T in a shorter timeframe but you will also do far more damage.

Truth nuke. Thats the biggest reason I keep pushing back my cycle, I just cant fathom taking something for life. I don't wanna be 80 with dementia and forget to pin then wither away lol.

Fearmongering to an extent i think is fine for anything that can fuck your hormones, sarms can still completely shut down your balls even if its rare

I suppose so but you would have to be either genetically retarded or incredibly reckless. I think if you are responsible and do your PCT you'll be fine.

A complete shutdown with sarms is close to the realm of impossibility. You really have to be very unlucky coupled with reckless use and genetic predisposition. In other worlds ; not happening. And I agree this fearmongering goes back to the early years of sarms introduction to a broader audience but most of this is irrelevant nowadays. Quality control is very good with sarms despite the high prices (still less expensive than they used to).

100% extremely unlikely, I only brought it up because I've seen a few people claim it happened to them.

And you know how one should treat every personal experience related on the Internet ; with skepticism and caution.
We agree.
