Hello everyone, I am a long time BLer, first post here. Please advise if I violate any guidelines.
First a quick history - I have been lifting weights for about 10 years. I am 27. I tend to work out pretty irregularly - whenever I have cash and time for the gym. Sometimes I go months without going. When I do go, I like to do high intensity and lift heavy weights. I like the 4-6 rep range, although I mix it up over time. In general I prefer shorter, more intense workouts and I like really feeling the pain.
Despite many warnings from who I consider pussy european guys, I have never injured myself in the gym, despite the fact that I apparently lift ¨too much¨ weight for my size. I am 5´9, 176cm, and weigh about 165 pounds, little body fat, naturally high metabolism. The reason I do high intensity is for the first few years, I did more standard workout routines, but I was a hard gainer. I stayed around 145 pounds. I drank liters of whole milk, ate pints of ice cream, my body just burned it off within 24 hours and no real change. Then I read about high intensity, started lifting heavy weights and really burning it out, and taking supplements (creatine, BCAAs, protein, glutamine, multivitamins). I would use various nautilus machines, my goal being to do the highest setting on each machine, focusing on negative reps, leaving almost no time between machines. Doing this twice a week, working out hard as fuck for 35 min until I felt like dying/puking. It worked great! I started gaining muscle fast, and looked pretty buff, I was over 170 pounds with very low body fat. I decided to stay at that size, since if I got much bigger I would look too much like a meathead. Since then I use high intensity pretty regularly, happy with the size I am.
Anyway, over the last year I have started doing a lot of BJJ. My classes are pretty hardcore, lasting about two hours, lots of sparring. So here is the thing. I find it very difficult to do both BJJ and high intensity workouts at the same time. I need to do BJJ continuously to advance, but it leaves me pretty dead whether I lift weights before or after. If I lift before, I am pretty exhausted when rolling. If I lift after, I feel like I don´t have the energy, glycogen, whatever to really do my high intensity. And I don´t have time to go to the gym twice a day.
So, a source I use has some SARMs pretty cheap, and likely of excellent quality. I was thinking of ordering some Enobosarm (MK - 2866, Ostarine) and taking a pretty low dose every morning, maybe 10mg oral. My goal isn´t really to add muscle, it´s more to recover faster. So my body could better handle doing BJJ and lifting heavy weights concurrently. I did it earlier this year without SARMs for two months, but I got so burned out I just stopped going to the gym for a while. And if I do BJJ alone, I really miss heavy weights.
Thoughts? Anyone with experience with SARMs who´d like to point out anything? I´m reading up on steroids at the moment on this forum.
Ideally I´d like to hit the gym every day for about two hours. Train BJJ and maybe boxing 3 or 4 times a week, and lift heavy weights maybe 2 - 3 times a week, taking one day a week off.
Sorry for length and rambling!
