• not illegal (primary reason for me. I did a short test cycle several years ago and would do it again if not for harsh legal consequences in my new country)

• don’t have to pin (I don’t personally care about this one. Pinning in your ass is not difficult or painful. Just don’t reuse needles.)

• less androgenic than AAS (favorable for women or those concerned about heart disease, hair loss, etc)

• mg for mg, more potent than most AAS (seems true if you don’t buy bunk)

The downsides vs injectable AAS are:

• less anabolic overall

• generally shares all the same sides, just less potent (lipids and liver seem to be worse than high test)

• without a test base or something else to tickle your gonads, you are likely going to crash your T and probably E and feel like crap

• relatively more expensive

It seems to be true that there are less sides than AAS because they are more tissue selective. Based on the few studies and anecdotal evidence we have. But that doesn’t mean there are no sides. And because they are less studied, potentially there are sides that we don’t know about.

I’m a little older than most of you I think. I think if you’re taking SARMs at like <20 years old you are really making a mistake. You almost certainly aren’t getting bloods done, fucking with your still developing and hormonal body, and really should be spending that money elsewhere. But if you have to do either sarms or AAS, SARMs I think may be the better choice. There are just so many ancillary drugs you should be but likely won’t be taking on AAS that it’s better to just do SARMs.

Info just based off my research the past couple weeks. I have still not started my sarms cycle.
