SARMs Pros and Cons
SARMs: Their Pros and Cons for Muscle Growth
Have you recently found yourself working out in the gym in an attempt to get fit and healthy? Have you also cleaned up your diet in order to prove how dedicated you are to your fitness goals?
Although the gym-plus-diet combination can be an effective solution for shedding off all your extra weight, sometimes this alone isn't enough to get the body that you actually want. Hard work and consistency can do the trick eventually, but the process can be sped up by taking SARMs.
What are SARMs?
SARMs, or selective androgen receptor modulators, are supplements that are currently a hot topic for bodybuilders and fitness enthusiasts. This is because users swear that they work as good as anabolic steroids, if not significantly better.
It is not uncommon for those who are after big gains to use steroids when they want to quicken the process of muscle growth. However, steroids have side effects that may put some people off. If you are looking for a viable alternative to steroids, SARMs may be the appropriate option for you. Before you push through with your purchase, let us first consider its pros and cons.
The Pros of Taking SARMs
One of the biggest advantages of taking SARMs is it is safe to take them within any training cycle. This is because it doesn't have the side effects of steroids. Steroids work by increasing testosterone and the body's protein synthesis, allowing your body to burn more fat and build more muscle. However, it also affects other important processes in the body.
For example, taking in steroids will affect your heart, liver, prostate, and hormones, causing an increase in acne, body hair growth, man boobs, etc. SARMs, on the other hand, interacts with your hormones in a more targeted manner. Thus, it gives way to the same muscle building and fat shedding properties of steroids without having to worry about shrinking balls (for males) or growing beards (for females). In the same light, it also means that you gain strength and recover faster from your workouts.
The Cons of Taking SARMs
For those who are looking for a quick way to build their bodies, SARMs may not be the best option. The technology and science behind these supplements are also still relatively young so not a lot of studies have been made regarding its safety and effectiveness.
If you are a competitive or professional athlete, it is also worth considering that SARMs is among the banned substances according to the World Anti-Doping Agency (WADA). However, if you are "just" an average person who is currently experimenting with his or her options when it comes to muscle and strength building, then SARMs may be worth a try.
