Hi Scott,

I wonder if you could provide advice for me re - supplementation (specifically SARMS). I've posted before and am currently at the end of my second cruise and ready to enter my third blast. I'm progressing my lifts well and am seeing improvements in my physique. However, I am 40 years old have only returned to training for 1 year (9 weeks FT) and am considering stacking MK677 with Ostarine as I am looking to bulk up over a 12 week phase. FYI - I've never used super-supps - bloods are normal range, so this would be a completely new dimension to me. Do you have any thoughts?

Hey Karl,

Well, despite how folks generally refer to SARMs (and MK677), as far as I know, they aren't legally for sale for personal use (in the US), so I'm not going to dip into that.

Frankly, in line with my "get the most from the least" philosophy, it sounds like you've got more gains to be had before you were to start either of those.

AFAIK, all SARMS will disrupt the HPTA to some degree, so given your age, you may be more prone to a compound-induced hypogonadism if you were to use a SARM, meaning you'd need some sort of PCT after using ostarine, for instance. There is a lot of variability in this. If you're eugonadal (testosterone levels are normal), you'd be less likely to benefit (but this would favor your HPTA being able to come back).

So, I'd just keep eeking out gains with what you're doing for now, my man.

[As an aside MK-677 can cause significant water retention in some folks (dose dependent) and its effects on GH output wane over the course of a couple weeks, so that might not fit with what you were planning for your bulking period, if you were hoping for a clean / dry bulk, so to speak. ]
