Stanazine® (S4) – The Strength and Muscle Master

Dry Muscle vs. Wet Muscle

When training to build muscle mass – in general, athletes are looking to build what is called ‘Dry Muscle’. Dry muscle is muscle tissue that is created without the simultaneous gain of water and body fat. This ‘dry muscle’ type of mass is what gives one the toned and shredded appearance and building this type of muscle also comes with less side effects than the building of ‘wet muscle’.

What is ‘wet muscle’ then? Wet muscle is muscle that is comprised more of water weight than protein weight. When attempting to bulk up as much as possible, water retention can become a big problem for bodybuilders and other athletes, especially those that are utilising hormones for even faster gains.

When bulking up, athletes and fitness enthusiasts alike become susceptible to the action of the aromatase enzyme. This enzyme creates estrogen, which in turn, increases water retention in the exercising muscle cell. This not only reduces the muscular definition, it also increases total body weight and blood volume which can result in increased blood pressure and/or cardiovascular damage – in the long run.

Achieving Dry Muscle Gains with Stanazine® (S4)

Stanazine® (S4) was initially designed to help prevent muscle loss in sick patients with serious diseases. Without disease, the compound has the same action of drastic muscle protection in any body, which quickly caught the attention of fitness lovers around the world.

In the world of fitness and athletics, Stanazine® (S4) created quite a buzz for its ability to encourage lean muscle growth, rapid fat loss, serious strength gains and enhanced athletic performance all in one product. Stanazine® (S4) works by selectively binding to skeletal muscle androgen receptors in the body to stimulate exclusively dry muscle gains.

Stanazine® (S4) for Cutting and Re-comp

What makes Stanazine® (S4) stand out in addition to its lean muscle building effects, is its proven effectiveness for increased fat loss and muscle protection when cutting down calorie intake and/or when conducting intense cardio training frequently.

This marks Stanazine® (S4) as a superior compound – particularly useful for cutting, building and body re-composition. In fact, both fitness lovers and bodybuilders report that Stanazine® (S4) allows them to rapidly cut body fat, and achieve the “cut and dry” look that accentuates muscle striations in as little as just one 12-week cycle, in addition to correct nutrition and training.

Stanazine® (S4) has a high affinity for androgen receptors allowing this phenomenal supplement to boost strength, build lean muscle mass, accelerate cortical/periosteal bone formation and increase bone mass.

Because of its high selectivity, it bypasses the adverse effects of AAS allowing for flexible and strong joints, a stress-free liver, and maintenance of a healthy circulation while shredding fat and getting lean during any athletic program.

In summary, here are some of the amazing benefits of Stanazine® (S4):

Builds Lean Muscle Mass
Accelerates Body Fat Loss
Creates “Cut And Dry” Appearance
Increases join and tendon strength
Increases bone density

Dosage

A dose of 25mg per day for 5 days on and 2 days off per week of Stanazine® (S4) is recommended. Each bottle contains 30 days of use. Each 1ml of liquid contains 25 mg of S4.

Cycle Length: 8 – 12 weeks.

Elite Sarms paired with TRAINING!

What type of training will work best with the Elite Sarm Athletic Performance products? We get this question a lot from you guys! Therefore in this Blog we will investigate the Athletic Performance Sarms and dive into what type of training will best activate each Sarm to give you the best performance results.

To investigate this topic we are going to be reviewing the Elite Sarms Athletic Performance products range, which includes:

– Cardio Shred®
– Hyper Lean®
– Decavar®
– Tight®
– GH Pep®

Our athletic performance products work to promote two main areas:

1. Cardiovascular Improvement with sarms

– Cardio Shred® and;
– Hyper Lean®

and;

2. Muscle/Connective Tissue Repair and Strengthening with sarms

– Decavar®
– Tight® and;
– GH Pep®

Different training styles will work better than others in conjunction with the 5 athletic performance Sarms. For example Cardio Shred® activates receptor sites inside muscle that induces the formation of Type I muscle fibres – the type of muscle fibres that are normally developed only after countless hours of rigorous cardio-endurance training. Whereas, GH Pep® amplifies your bodies natural growth hormone pulsations, inducing rapid growth and repair of collagen – the main component in connective tissue. Athletic performance is dependant on performing during every training session and during live events and therefore injury prevention is key to every single athlete. Developing strong connective tissue is necessary for improved; strength, power, agility and speed, meanwhile building muscle mass takes a back seat when it comes to athletic performance.

Partaking in any of the training styles or sports listed below either in training or competition, will activate the Elite Sarm and allow one to experience the product working at is full potential – due to the sarms design and what specific effect is has on the body.

Let’s dive a little deeper into each Athletic Performance Sarm and the training styles or sports that are best suited to the product and why….

CARDIO SHRED® (GW0742)

Key Feature: O2 (Cardiovascular) Endurance. Cardio Shred’s active compound GW0742 is a PPARδ receptor agonist. By activating the PPARδ receptor, Cardio Shred® begins to elicit physical changes in the body as though one has been carrying out consistent cardiovascular training. Of course this effect is drastically amplified when one applies actual consistent cardio training into their workout regime.

Research revealed that GW0742 combined with cardiovascular exercise created a synergistic increase in oxidative myofibers and running endurance. Oxidative myofibers are muscle fibres that are slow-twitch fibers, which are characterised as muscles with long contraction duration, associated with endurance. It is through this improvement in the bodies muscle fibre makeup by enhancing the growth and number of endurance fibres, one is able to perform aerobic activities at greater intensities and for a longer duration!

– Marathon/Long distance running
– Triathalon
– Cycling
– Iron man
– Rowing (long distances)
– MMA (cardio endurance)
– Boxing (cardio endurance)
– Football (soccer)
– AFL

Source: https://courses.lumenlearning.com/suny-fitness/chapter/types-of-skeletal-muscle-fibers/(aerobic respiration to fuel muscle contractions)

HYPER LEAN® (SR9000)

Key Feature: Metabolic Conditioning. Hyper Lean®s active compound SR9009 has the incredible feature of increasing skeletal muscle mitochondria cells while at the same time repairing damaged mitochondria cells and detoxing dead ones. This results in the bodies ability to move high intensity work (exercise) through the body at a faster rate. In sports physiology terms this is referred to as; metabolic conditioning and is the core ingredient behind programs such as Crossfit, which combines Olympic lifting and Power Lifts with high intensity cardiovascular activities.

By improving the amount of energy producing cells (mitochondria) in muscles, Hyper Lean® is able to allow one to perform at higher intensities while at the same time requiring shorter rest due to the overall increase in the bodies metabolic activity. This makes the SR9009 compound perfect for those partaking in sports that have high intensity intervals of work followed by short rest periods such as: Boxing, MMA, Rugby League/Union or Crossfit.

– All Styles of HIIT (high intensity interval training)
– Crossfit
– Sprinting
– Rowing (shorter distances)
– MMA (metabolic conditioning)
– Boxing (metabolic conditioning)
– Rugby League/Union
– NFL
– Netball
– Basketball
– Indoor Cricket

DECAVAR® (MK2866)

Key Feature: Active Muscular Recovery. Decavar® has amazing repairing capabilities. The active compound MK2866 has Androgen Receptor (AR) activity that results in a drastic increase in blood and nutrients being transported to the working muscles. This results in fast active recovery and increased muscular endurance, making it perfect for sports like Rock Climbing or Ninja Warrior style training, where the body and muscles need to be actively recovering fast in order to perform better in the sport.

– Rock Climbing
– Ninja Warrior
– Crossfit
– MMA

TIGHT® (RAD140)

Key Feature: Testosterone-like Environment. The use of testosterone in sports has long been documented. But why would having high levels of testosterone be an advantage to an athlete in a sport where having big muscles doesn’t benefit them? The answer, is in the modulation of the Androgen Receptor (AR). Testosterone works by synthetically increasing testosterone levels in the body – which then leads to activation of the bodies AR sites increasing the rate of muscle, bone and connective tissue repair.

Sarms are special compounds that bypass the hormonal system altogether and instead work directly on modulating the Androgen Receptor sites. In the case of RAD140, the AR modulation caused by this compound is virtually identical to the modulation on the AR caused by testosterone mg for mg with RAD140. This means that one can receive the exact same physiological athletic benefits of a normal-range dosage of testosterone by supplementing RAD140 while carrying out strength and power based activities.

– Bodybuilding
– Power Lifting
– Olympic Lifting
– MMA
– Boxing
– NFL
– Shot Put, Discus, Javelin

GH PEP® (MK677)

Key Feature: Increased Growth Hormone levels. MK677 is a growth hormone secretagogue. This means the compound increases the amount of natural growth hormone that pulses into the blood – leading to higher levels of the hormone throughout the body.

Growth hormone regulates the rate of repair of muscle and connective tissue including; cartilage, bone, tendons, ligaments and skin. These connective tissues are responsible for athletic strength, power, speed and agility. As MK677 works directly on these sites, athletes involved in sports that require high levels of strength, power, speed and agility will greatly benefit from the connective tissue fortifying effects of MK677.

– Bodybuilding
– Powerlifting
– Olympic Lifting
– MMA (power)
– Boxing (power)
– NFL
– Shot Put, Discus, Javelin
– Ninja Warrior

THE WRAP

As you can see from the information above, Elite Sarms can be of huge benefit to the beginner up to the advanced athlete. Getting better at any sport requires the ability to be able to perform at your best in each training session, remain injury free and to repair effectively after each training session or live competition. Thankfully, there are 5 Elite Sarm Athletic Performance SuperStars that exist for athletes like you out there, to take your cardio endurance, speed, power, strength and agility to new levels. We exist to help you push the limits of your own potential to manifest your best athletic version to come!

How Sarms effect Athletic Performance

In this ES INTEL Blog we are exploring how Sarms effect Athletic Performance and their role in helping the body reach higher levels of athleticism – in speed, strength, explosive power, aerobic and anaerobic endurance.

In Elite Sarms we break down Athletic Performance into 3 main categories. They include:

1. Strength & Power

2. Muscular Endurance

3. Cardio Endurance

We believe that when an athlete reaches a high level of all 3 categories listed above, they become a fully rounded athlete. Fortunately the athletic performance Sarms in our range target and activate the areas of the body responsible for muscular strength and power, muscular endurance and cardiovascular endurance.

STRENGTH AND POWER – ELITE SARMS

The Elite Sarms products that activate the androgen receptor sites in the body responsible for the amplification of strength and power are:

Decavar® (MK2866) is one of our best products for both males and females increasing total strength. This is due to the powerful action of Decavar® on muscle, bone and supporting tissues including the myofascial sheath Androgen Receptor (AR) sites.

Physique 400® (LGD4033) is the next contender in the Strength and Power category. This comes from its rapid muscle building properties. Combining this product along with the major lifts; deadlift, squat, bench press and shoulder press will result in fast muscle growth and connective tissue adaption, leading to great strength and power gains.

Finally, our product Tight® (RAD140) is a Sarm that completes both tasks of increasing strength and building muscle, having a major effect on power and strength

Of course, these Elite Sarms will amplify your strength and power – when the correct stimulus of weight, repetition and repetition tempo (time of eccentric and concentric portions of a movement) and rest are applied to the body via quality training and recovery – both of which Elite Sarms assist.

MUSCULAR ENDURANCE – ELITE SARMS

If Muscular Endurance is your main focus the following Elite Sarms products that are best suited for this Athletic Performance task include:

Stanazine® (S4) has been compared to the compound Winstrol in its athletic enhancement abilities. Due to its powerful activation of muscle and bone Androgen Receptor (AR). This product provides blood flow and nutrients to the muscles to assist in increasing muscular endurance.

Decavar® (MK2866) is best known for is rapid muscle repairing properties. It is this factor that makes Decavar® a powerful muscular endurance enhancer.

Finally, Hyper Lean® (SR9009) has proven in studies to increase the mitochondria in skeletal muscle. This means more energy and waste products caused by fatiguing muscles can be shuttled through the body quicker resulting in greater muscular endurance over time.

CARDIO ENDURANCE – ELITE SARMS

If Cardio Endurance is your main Athletic Performance focus the best Elite Sarms products for this include:

Cardio Shred® (Cardarine) is dubbed exercise in a bottle because it mimics the effects of cardiovascular exercise creating the environment inside the body compared to someone training cardio at high intensities. When Cardio training is combined with this product, then cardio endurance is even greater enhanced.

Hyper Lean® (SR9009) works by increasing mitochondria counts in skeletal muscle. Mitochondria are termed the powerhouse of the cell and provide most of the cells energy. They are directly linked to our metabolism and therefore in exercise, this increase in mitochondria leads to an increase in metabolism meaning recovery times between intense exercise sets drastically reduces and cardio endurance increases.

ELITE SARMS & ATHLETIC PERFORMANCE PHYSIOLOGY

When you get down to the core foundations of what athletic performance is – I mean, all the way down, it basically occurs through 2 core events:

1. Physical stimulus is applied to the body

2. Adaption to physical stimulus occurs

As we all know, athletes aren’t just born athletes. Athletes may be born with a passion for a specific sport and may also possess faster adaption to certain physical stimulus which makes them ‘more talented’ in a certain sport. However as we’ve all experienced at some point in our lives, as we train for something, we get better at it. We have to apply new physical stimulus to our body and then our body adapts to that stimulus and then we repeat this process over and over.

Now enter Elite Sarms. Elite Sarms make the COMMUNICATION between the androgen receptor (AR) and the tissues of the body ‘clearer’, ‘louder’ and ‘faster’. What this means is when we apply physical stimulus to the body in the form of cardiovascular training, muscular endurance, agility, strength, power and/or explosive power then the body is able to adapt drastically faster as well as repair drastically faster because the Signals from the AR to the tissues being stimulated is faster, stronger and clearer.

Sarms allow one to progress in any chosen athletic endeavour at a faster pace with a significantly lower chance of injury or overtraining – which leads to even faster athletic progress. As you can see Elite Sarms don’t do the work for you, however they create the perfect environment for the work you do to be expressed at its full potential inside and outside your body.

GH Pep (MK677) The Natural GH Enhancer & Anti-Aging Wonder

1. In this following Elite Sarms – INTEL blog we are going to dive into the core science of growth hormone (GH), a naturally secreted peptide called Somatropin, in the body by the anterior lobe of the pituitary gland.

2. Lets chat about the Pituitary Gland for a moment, its role in the body and how important the health of this gland is to our overall physique and performance

3. The Pituitary Gland’s main function is to secrete hormones into your bloodstream. The Gland is a part of the body’s endocrine system. The endocrine system is a series of glands that secrete hormones that regulate metabolism, muscle growth and development, tissue functioning, reproduction, sexual function, sleep and mood.

4. As you can see, the Pituitary Gland is a gland in our body which is the Command & Control Centre for all major hormonal action occurring in our body.

– By understanding this gland and its function within the body, we can then focus on The Pituitary Gland’s optimum health by looking into the lifestyle factors and lifestyle choices that can either decrease or increase the output and health of this important gland.

4.. The amount of Growth Hormone one naturally secretes will depend on several lifestyle factors including but not limited to:

– AGE
– HEALTH
– FITNESS and STRENGTH LEVELS
– NUTRITION QUALITY & WATER INTAKE
– SLEEP QUALITY
– ENVIRONMENT  (relaxing or stressful)
– STRESS LEVELS  and ADAPTION TO STRESS

5. You will notice of all the factors above the ONLY factor you DO NOT have control over is your AGE. However! Did you know that you actually have 2 ages?  

6. Yes, it’s true. We all have our chronological age – the number of years we’ve been on earth – which we cannot change, however, we also all have what is called our biological age.

7. Our biological ages are determined by all the factors that affect your DNA. Some of the most important factors include:

– HORMONAL STATE (testosterone to healthy estrogen balance)
– AMOUNT OF LEAN MUSCLE TISSUE ON BODY
– BODY FAT LEVELS
– HEALTH OF ORGANS
– METABOLISM
– INSULIN LEVELS
– BODY’S NATURAL PEPTIDE SECRETIONS

8. Therefore, the TRUE term for anti-ageing is actually ANTI-BIOLOGICAL AGING, as it is impossible to turn back our chronological-age but it IS POSSIBLE to increase our overall health in the areas above (arrow) and REVERSE our BIOLOGICAL AGE. GH Pep® does exactly this by increasing the natural Growth Hormone output of the Pituitary Gland. Yes, it is pretty amazing.

5. There are large Natural pulses of growth hormone from the Pituitary Gland after high-intensity training, during REM sleep, after sexual activity and also first thing in the morning after good rest.
6. Elite Sarms – GH Pep (MK677) is the only Sarm in our range to drastically increase the NATURAL pulses of Growth Hormone from the Pituitary Gland.

7. The natural increase of Growth Hormone caused by GH Pep will be independent of lifestyle factors – meaning there will be an increase of GH regardless if the person has control of all of the above lifestyle factors that affect natural growth hormone output.

8. HOWEVER, add in resistance training, strength training and/or cardio and pump up the intensity! – Then you will really get to see Elite Sarms – GH Pep shine in all its glory.

9. The first thing one will notice is waking up in the morning FRESH. The New Growth Hormone pulses from taking Elite Sarms – GH Pep goes to work in the body speeding up the repair of connective tissue, muscle and bone and driving cellular rejuvenation.

10. A side-effect from the INCREASE OF SPEED OF REPAIR from GH Pep is; pain and inflammation become Drastically reduced or non-existent for some.

11. The science behind why GH Pep is one of our best INJURY REPAIRers in the range is due to the following:

12. Our body running at its Full Optimal Potential would mean our Pituitary Gland would be functioning at its Full Optimal Potential. As stated earlier, one of Growth Hormone’s major role’s in the body is TISSUE FUNCTIONING. This Tissue Functioning includes the proper repair of the tissues involved in injury – including the micro-tears caused after a session of high-intensity training.

13. With Elite Sarms – GH Pep supporting your Pituitary Gland’s Optimum release of Growth Hormone, this also creates the Optimum environment for tissue repair resulting in less inflammation and pain each day when supplementing with GH Pep – another factor that becomes more important with age.

14. This makes Elite Sarms – GH Pep perfect for anyone that is looking for Rejuvenation of the body while at the same time benefiting from the awesome Physique and Performance results of the one and only: GH Pep

Beyond Potential – What happens when you Add Alpha Helix® (YK11) to your SARMS Regime?

Introducing one of the latest SARMS supplement to create a buzz in the sports and bodybuilding industry. The novel compound YK11 is a non- hormonal DHT derivative and the active ingredient of Elite Sarms – Alpha Helix®.

Written by: Michelle G. Thibault
Edited by: Ryan McTeigue

Initially created at Toho University in Japan, YK11’s mechanism of action is quite unique and makes it a perfect addition to your existing SARMS stack or sports supplementation line-up.

Firstly – YK11 works as an agonist to the androgen receptors inside your muscle fibres to promote growth;

Second – YK11 stimulates the production of follistatin which antagonizes or suppresses Myostatin- a muscle growth inhibitor protein. The suppression of Myostatin results in massive increases in strength and muscle mass.

This makes Elite SARMs Alpha Helix® (YK11) an excellent add-on especially for SARMS enthusiasts to bring their physique transformations to a higher level.

Elite Sarms Alpha Helix (YK11)

Elite Sarms Alpha Helix (YK11) works comparably with Physique 400 (LGD 4033), Tight (Rad 140), and GH Pep (MK677) to bring mass and muscle gains beyond an individual’s potential. What’s special about this combination is that while the other SARMs powerfully stimulate androgen receptors to develop new muscle tissues, YK11has the second power of suppressing myostatin’s actions to oppose further development of the muscle fibres.

So when one’s physiology begins to drastically slow down or even limit the results you can get from training and the use of other SARMs and other supplements, YK11 amplifies an individual’s genetic potential for breaking through physical plateaus in strength and muscle development.

Research studies show YK11 is also proven to burn body fat, making Elite SARMs Alpha Helix® an excellent addition to the fat-burning abilities of Hyper Lean (SR9009) and/or Cardio-Shred (GW0742).

Similar also to the actions of Stanazine (S4) and Decavar (MK2866), YK11 has documented osteogenic (bone) improvement activity that adds to the power of these well-known compounds to increase bone density and cortical mass.

Elite SARMs Alpha Helix YK11 is one of the most forthcoming and biologically exciting SARMs on the market with the many benefits and a lack of reported side effects compared to the various health risks ascribed to prohormones and anabolic steroids. Being an effective and powerful product, Alpha Helix® is truly a biohacking powerhouse that works by creating the environment for exceeding an individual’s innate physical capacity and entering new territories of physical development.

Decavar® – The Ultimate Body Re-Composition Product 

Welcome to another session of Elite Sarms INTEL. In this info grab we are going to dissect the phenomenal characteristics of Elite Sarms – Decavar® – The Ultimate Body Re-composition Product and how it works to burn fat and build lean muscle at the same time!

1. Decavar®’s has a few names in the chemistry world including: MK-2866, Ostarine or Enbosarm. This compound has undergone the most extensive clinical trials to date of all the Elite Sarms range.

2. In a phase 2a study, Ostarine was shown to “increase lean body mass and decrease fat mass. It also modestly improved the homeostatic model assessment (HOMA)”
(Dalton 2007 abstract from Endo meeting).

3. To understand the science of why Decavar® is such a powerful BODY RECOMPOSITION tool, let’s dive into how this product improves the Homeostatic Model Assessment and what the HOMA actually is.

4. The HOMA is a measurement of the β-cells function and Insulin Resistance.

5. The β-cells otherwise known as Beta cells are a type of cell found in Pancreatic Islets.
The pancreatic islets or islets of Langerhans are the areas of the PANCREAS that contain hormone-producing cells.

6. Beta Cells (β-cells) are responsible for the secretion (release) of insulin and amylin – the 2 hormones in our body that regulate blood sugar levels and glycogen uptake into muscle.

7. It is important to note, that people with Type I and Type II diabetes – have a LOWER amount of β-cells and experience decreased health of β-cells leading to LOW INSULIN secretion which leads to HIGH BLOOD SUGAR levels – which also leads to excess body fat storage due to the excess sugars floating around in the blood that the insulin COULD NOT drive into muscle.

8. So when β-cells are not healthy or in their optimum state, then the body does not secrete/ release insulin effectively and therefore carbohydrates eaten cannot be driven into skeletal muscle effectively.

9. Decavar® revealed in the study mentioned earlier, to improve the function and health of the β- cells. This in-turn improves the healthy release of INSULIN which then drives the carbohydrates/ sugars we eat into muscle instead of being stored as BODY FAT. It is the improvement of the β- cells from Decavar® which then makes insulin a powerful ANABOLIC driver of sugars into muscle.

10. This is the definition of INSULIN SENSITIVITY – when the body is SENSITIVE to insulin it means that it responds to a release of insulin by DIRECTING the sugars into skeletal muscle. When the body becomes INSULIN RESISTANT – this means the insulin does not drive sugars into muscle anymore because it has become damaged or abused. Instead the sugars are directed into fat cells 🙁

11. By Elite Sarms – Decavar® improving the function and health of β-cells, this helps the body to drive more sugars into muscle. This has a double bonus effect – 1. The body does not store the sugars as body fat and 2. This creates an anabolic or muscle building environment as the body prefers to burn stored fat for energy rather than muscle.

12. As you can see the results from Decavar® are fully in-line with the scientific meaning of Body Re-composition – A reduction of LIPOCYTES also know as fat cells while there is a simultaneous increase in nitrogen retention and protein synthesis (muscle creation).

Phewwwwww – there was a bit of ES INTEL there, however now you know exactly why Elite Sarms – Decavar® is the The Ultimate Body Re-Composition Product and now you know an important piece of knowledge around of the science and biology of Body Re-Composition.

Elite Sarms Body Re-Composition in 2023

Hi Team,

In this episode of Elite Sarms INTEL Blog, in the theme of lean muscle building, we are going to check-out what is happening in the world of Re-Composition in 2023. We will uncover the Elite Sarms products that star in body Re-Composition and all info you need for building lean muscle while reducing body-fat just in time for the New Year!

Re-Composition is a term used in the Fitness World for building muscle tissue while reducing body fat cells. Body re-composition is the main goal outside of a bulking phase in bodybuilding for example. To simultaneously grow muscle and lose fat is no easy feat, and in order to complete this successfully one has to follow specific nutrition, training and supplementation guidelines. Luckily, we have the supplementation part sorted.

Let us look at the Elite Sarms products that are best suited for Body Re-composition and some of their special characteristics they share in muscle building and fat burning:

1. Tight® (RAD140)

2. Stanazine® (S4)

3. Decavar® (MK2866)

The above 3 Elite Sarms were selected as the Best Body Re-Composition products because they can all be used as Fat Burners, and here’s the important part, they can all be used just as effectively as fat-free muscle builders. This is very important for those involved in competitive sports and athletics, as any muscle that is gained, the athlete wants that muscle to be highly functional. Any muscle gained with these 3 sarms will be functional, athletic muscle – as long as a healthy diet is adhered to while on cycle and this is due to how each product functions.

Now let’s dive a little deeper into each Elite Sarms Re-Composition product to learn more about their individuality.

TIGHT (RAD140)

Created by Radius Health, RAD140 know as Tight® in the Elite Sarms range, is our most potent Re-composition product available. This is because it is equally as effective at Fat Burning as it is in Building Muscle. Its power in fat burning comes from the drastic increase in metabolism one experiences around week 2-3 on Tight®. The drastic increase in metabolism comes from the creation of new muscle, with muscle being the most potent metabolism increaser due to requiring more energy to sustain itself. The muscle will then tap into fat stores over time to provide this newly required energy.

Tight®s Muscle Building power comes from the fact that it physiologically mimics the effects of testosterone while remaining non-steroidal and non-hormonal. This is a very amazing product in terms of the strength increases, muscle building and muscle recovery properties contained within one single compound without being a hormone. Just like testosterone, Tight® helps to increase strength but also gives the elevated mood and Focused Drive which also increases performance in the gym. It’s this combination of mental and physiological enhancement from RAD 140 that can provide the gateway for serious muscle and athletic gains.

STANAZINE (S4)

Our next Re-Composition product is Stanazine® Stanazine®s active compound S4 has proven in studies to increase Lipolysis or fat burning due to putting the body into a state of excess calorie expenditure. This is due to the Androgen Receptor (AR) activation in both muscle and body fat. While the body is in a state of excess calorie expenditure – more calories from the food and drink you consume goes into building new muscle and less goes into storage as body fat.

A very noted effect from Stanazine® is very pronounced vascularity enhancement after around 2-3 weeks depending on the athlete and that athletes time in training. However, one will notice a very pronounced vascularity effect as well as intense muscular pumps. The muscle pumps caused by Stanazine® are due to is very specific binding of muscle AR – Unlike any other Sarm. Something that can only be experienced – but explained, it feels like a fullness within all the muscles.

Now to muscle building. Stanazine® in my opinion, is very underrated when it comes to muscle building – however, if your body type is one that reacts strongly to strength increases with muscle increases (usually ecto-mesomorph body types) then S4 may just become your new go-to-Sarm for packing on quality lean muscle. The special part is that Stanazine® will also create strength increases while on a restricted diet or calorie deficit, something that makes this Sarm loved in the Physique competition world around pre-stage time.

Finally, we uncover Decavar® the last of the Re-Composition superstars in the Elite Sarms range.

Decavar® or MK2866 is a unique character indeed. Its Power over any other Sarm and probably any other compound currently available on the market that is safe, is its anti-catabolic or anti-muscle wasting properties. This means that while reducing calories or food intake one can keep the skeletal muscle that is on their frame and even experience strength increases while in this state. This is because it is a compound for keeping muscle on a frame – even when one is weak, or reducing calorie intake.

Therefore, as you can see Decavar®s muscle building properties come from the fact it Protects Muscle – it’s the muscle Body Guard if you will – not letting catabolic hormones anywhere near it, so the body in is a perfect state for building new muscle tissue and keeping what you have already worked hard for. Decavar® also has a very strong effect on skeletal muscle Androgen Receptor (AR) and when the muscle is trained this increases the muscles ability to uptake glycogen (muscle sugar) which then creates insulin sensitivity. This creates strong muscle pumps in training – muscle that is sensitive to sugar intake. And when sugar is consumed after training one will experience – the pump – due to the sugar being driven into the muscle.

And there we have it, the 3 Superstars in the Elite Sarms body Re-Composition range and the science behind their special characteristics.

Stay tuned for next episode of Elite Sarms INTEL Blog – where we put the ES Fat Burning products under the spotlight with some optimisation tips to boot.

Happy Intense Training,

SCIENCE OF LEAN MUSCLE CREATION & ES Forced Growth Cycle

Hi crew and welcome to an edition of Elite Sarms INTEL – where we break down the science of training, nutrition and supplementation so you can optimise your results with Elite Sarms products.

In this blog we are going to cover – The Science of Building Lean Muscle.

Perhaps we’ll just be reminding you of some straight forwards facts in these areas, although there may be something new here you can apply. Either way, these Elite Sarms INTEL blogs are designed to cut straight to chase, so that all effort put into nutrition, training and supplementation can lead directly to your goal outcome.

So we understand what the end goal is here, let’s define lean muscle. There is actually no such thing as building ‘lean muscle’, the fact is, one either has low muscle mass up to high muscle mass combined with either high body fat levels or low body fat levels.

So in truth, in order to create ‘lean muscle’ we must focus on building new muscle and reducing body fat levels. This is how the ‘lean muscle’ look is created. With that in mind, let’s look into some hacks we can do in the way of training to stimulate the body into growing new fat free muscle. We’ve put together a simple, yet very effective way to increase your Strength across the major lifts that creates big results toward physique and performance across the: bench press, squat, deadlift and press.

TRAINING : FOR LEAN MUSCLE (FORCED GROWTH CYCLE)

There is a common myth when it comes to weight training, that in order to build the ‘lean muscle’ appearance, that one needs to train in the high repetition range. As we have stated above the ‘lean muscle’ look comes from building new muscle and then reducing body fat levels so the muscle definition can be seen.

When we lift weights in the lower rep ranges 1 – 5 repetitions, done with intensity and focus, we create a strong release of the endogenous (internally produced) hormone – Human Growth Hormone or HGH. If we stick to training only in high repetition ranges too often, there’s a great deal of natural hormone we can rob our bodies from receiving.

Therefore, adding in a 5 x 5 set (5 repetitions at 5 sets with rest between sets to achieve maximum lift each set) of each of the major lifts (bench press, squat, deadlift or overhead press) into your training routine each week sets a solid foundation for new muscle growth.

When we train with a moderate to heavy weight and complete a higher repetition range (12 – 15 reps) the body produces lactic acid and this repetition range is most physiologically suitable for a natural release of testosterone (in both males and females, females however produce around 1/10 of what males naturally produce).

In the training example below we are going to combine both the explosive power and strength of the 5 x 5 rep range with the lactic acid producing 12 – 15 rep range with the movements bench press and dumbbell/cable fly – as an example.

Note: With this training cycle, the major lift can be substituted with either; back squat, front squat, deadlift, barbell press or the bench press. The major lift is supersetted with a second exercise that targets the same muscle group directly, in the lactic acid repetition range. The training cycle goes for a total of 4 weeks.

For Example:

– Deadlift could be suppersetted with Hamstring curls
– Squat could be supersetted with Dumbbell or Barbell Lunges, and;
– Overhead Press could be supersetted with Dumbbell Lateral Fly’s or even Handstand Pushups depending on your skill levels

The point is, to perform the heavy lift to product a strong GH release and then exhaust the muscle into fatigue through the secondary movement/lift creating a strong natural testosterone release.

Method: Warm up with a few sets of light bench press and light dumbbell fly or cable fly. Complete 12 -15 reps each set for both movements until you have oxygenated the body and warmed up the joints. Pick your 5 repetition max weight for the bench and for the dumbbell/cable fly pick a weight where 10 reps is heavy as we are going to push out to 15 reps to create lactic acid in the muscles.

When ready, complete one set of 5 reps of Bench Press. Try and have a spotter so you can do your absolute maximum lift in each set. Without rest, move straight into the dumbell/cable fly and complete 15 repetitions (you will need to really focus on the getting a further 5 reps).

Rest only until you know you can complete the next set, then begin. This is repeated for a total of 5 sets.

This will make up only a section of your training session. It should not take that long, however really focus on each set. The goal here is to increase your 5 rep max lift to 8 repetitions over the 4 weeks and create new muscle growth as well as increasing your strength – which also leads to new muscle.

As mentioned, the training cycle runs for 4 weeks, completed at least once per week and used across any of the major lifts. Conditioned athletes could complete this same cycle 2 x per week on each muscle group.

On the 2nd week you do everything exactly the same and keep the bench press weight the same, except you increase by 1 repetition on the bench press to 6 reps, the 3rd week – 7 reps and finally on the 4th week – 8 reps. Each week you do try and increase the weight on the dumbbell/cable fly, while keeping the rep range at 15 reps. See the table below for an example of the exercise split.

ELITE SARMS – FORCED GROWTH CYCLE

Ensure you record the weight you complete each week so when you go to complete this 4 week cycle again your goal is to lift heavier than the last Forced Growth Cycle.

To get the best result with this training cycle – there are two of our products that stand-out in the creation of new muscle in our range: Elite Sarms Decavar (MK-2866) and GH Pep (MK-677). These two are powerful products just on their own, but when stacked together they create an even more powerful synergistic effect on lean muscle creation.

Elite Sarms – Decavar (MK-2866) amplifies the speed of repair of muscle cells as well as increasing nitrogen and flushing fresh blood and nutrients into the muscles, creating a perfect environment for new muscle growth. Whereas, Elite Sarms – GH Pep (MK-677) triggers the endogenous release of your bodies own growth hormone which leads to an increase in protein synthesis throughout the entire body resulting in improvements in: skin, eyes, hair, nails, muscle, connective tissue and bones, while simultaneously reducing body fat levels.

Stay tuned for the next Elite Sarms article where we dive into more science Hacks for Lean Muscle Growth.

AMPLIFY YOUR POTENTIAL!

We are living in a fast-paced era where we work fast, and burn out quicker. One of the most essential keys to the success of our long-term health is supplementation. By implementing these into our diet, it allows us to reach both our mental and physical potential successfully.

The purpose of this article is to demonstrate to you some of the benefits of our supplements and give you pointers on how you can properly apply these supplements to your diet and training routine.

High grade supplements offer the body added benefits to a complete nutrition plan – food these days, simply cannot provide the body with everything it needs in our modern world. Supplements provide us with an extra boost so you can achieve both mental and aesthetic goals. In today’s reality, the use of supplementation is crucial to achieve both fat loss as well as build muscle and assist in healing the body.

Here are our TOP four most popular stacks for weight loss, building muscle mass and muscle recovery!!

1 FAT BURN STACK

HYPER LEAN – (SR9009)

To improve performance in achieving lean muscle is by increasing the number of mitochondria (energy producing cells) in skeletal muscle, which enhances metabolism. Lean muscle creates a duel role of eliminating damaged mitochondria and generates new ones for a refined metabolism as this Hyper Lean SR9009 is subject to experience enhanced endurance for longer and harder training session, which also contributed to better muscle mass and lower fat levels.

CARDIO SHRED – CARDARINE (GW501516)

One of the most uphill struggles in many workouts is conducting cardiovascular exercises. Cardarine GW501516 originally developed to treat obesity and other metabolic diseases. This stack has the ability to burn fat by increasing glucose uptake in skeletal muscle tissue, which changes the body’s metabolism to burn fat for energy instead of muscle and/or sugar. Cardarine has improved longevity in exercise sessions while reducing recovery time between sets while also increasing the number of repetitions or movements before reaching exhaustion.

2 PHYSIQUE STACK

DECAVAR (MK-2866)
Targets the androgen receptors in muscle tissues and increases their rate of repair. It also increases nitrogen in muscles, therefore allowing more blood and nutrients to flush the muscle which also assists in the healing of muscle tissue. MK-2866 is the best muscle tissue healer of all the SARMS.

Studies have shown that Decavar MK-2866 has the ability to reduce muscle degeneration during recovery times from serious surgery or similar conditions.

GH PEP (MK-677)
Growth hormone is one of the most important hormones in mammals, which is responsible for biological age, muscle quality, body fat levels, skin elasticity and connective tissue quality. A growth hormone amplifies the body’s natural release of growth hormone such as when in deep REM sleep, first thing in the morning and after intense exercise. Increase the release of and produce sustained increases in plasma levels of several hormones including GH and insulin-like-growth-factor 1 (IGF-1) for up to 24 hours.

3 STRENGTH & REPAIR STACK

Note: This is to recover joints and muscle tissues in order to help build your overall strength. This is suitable for elders in rejuvenating mobility or any injury.

TIGHT (RAD140)
The effects of testosterone without being a hormone and while having none of the side effects of testosterone. Tight RAD140 increases lean muscle mass and reduce body fat simultaneously. Rad-140 also selectively targets androgen receptors in the brain making it neuroprotective, many users also report an increase in memory and faster brain reaction times while using RAD-140 incremental increase in lean mass which increases with the dose. At the same time, it creates a loss of fat tissue and aid in the preservation of muscle tissue with its anti-catabolic effects.

DECAVAR (MK-2866)
Targets the androgen receptors in muscle tissues and increases their rate of repair. Decavar MK-2866 also increases nitrogen in muscles, therefore allowing more blood and nutrients to flush the muscle which also assists in the healing of muscle tissue. MK-2866 is the best muscle tissue healer of all the Sarms.

Studies have shown that Decavar MK-2866 has the ability to reduce muscle degeneration during recovery times from serious surgery or similar conditions.

PHYSIQUE 400 (LGD-4033)
Physique 400 selectively targets the androgen receptors in muscle and bone. It is considered the most powerful muscle builder of the entire SARMS range as well as creating drastic increases in strength and power. It shows anabolic activity in the bones and muscles instead of harmfully affecting the prostate and sebaceous glands.

4 STRENGTH STACK

Note: This is highly recommended for bodybuilders and powerlifters who would like to build muscle strength and maintain a lean aesthetic physique

STANAZINE (S4)
Stanazine (S4) is an all-rounder SARM, however, it is most noted in research for its muscle protecting abilities especially during a reduced calorie intake period (fasting/dieting). Also, S4 has excellent fat burning and muscle building effects and strength increasing abilities even while reducing weight. Research has also shown that S4 can help to strengthen bones.

Due to the fact that S4 binds to androgen receptors selectively, it can increase strength and build lean muscle mass without creating water weight, drying out the joints, stressing the liver, or causing severe suppression or shutdown.

CONCLUSION

The supplements of today can be regarded as a necessity rather than optional to balance a traditionally nutritious diet of meat and vegetables. Elite Sarms stacks will help you reach your goals, especially help you achieve muscle growth, increased muscle mass and fat loss. Always remember with good supplementation, a proper training routine and diet you can reap all the benefits that Elite Sarms can provide.

WHAT ARE SARMS? LET’S START WITH THE BASICS.

Consistent workouts, coupled with a balanced, nutritious diet and a deep healthy sleep act as the foundation for good fitness, but many athletes, weightlifters, and gym lovers often turn to supplements to give them extra edge to expedite their performance and body composition goals.

A topic we are most excited about (and for obvious reasons) are SARMs. SARMs are a little bit of an underdog in the supplement scene, but very much becoming a popularity amongst the rest. Why?! Because they deliver results, and fast. We live in a fast-paced world, filled with instant gratification. We all know how much dedication and discipline it takes it is to put on a few KG’s of muscle or visa versa, drop a few KG’s of body fat.

Selective Androgen Receptor Modulators

So, what are SARMs? Let’s start with the basics; SARM stands for Selective Androgen Receptor Modulators. They are a group of compounds that selectively target receptors in muscle, bone, connective tissue and body fat. This is due to the SARM being selective in its action. Each SARM targets different Androgen Receptors within the body, which mean it amplifies your body’s OWN natural response to exercise, and based on the type of SARM you might be taking.

Androgens are chemicals present in your body responsible for controlling the development and maintenance of characteristics like muscle growth and lowering fat stores in the body. Think about Androgens like a messenger that delivers the message to our cells to take a certain action in the body.

Because SARMs are selective in their action they will target specific area that require attention or are your focus point. That could be an increase of muscle mass, healing of a particular injury, regeneration of connective tissue, and or loss of fat. This is what makes our range of supplements so unique, making them an ideal choice for athletic performance and body building.

SARMs have become most effective non-toxic sports supplement amongst health-conscious bodybuilders, athletes who are singing praises for performance enhancement and muscle building purposes as well as increased metabolic rate and anti-ageing effects. Think about increased endurance during training and reduced recovery time post training sessions and for every one work out, equals an action of two as a result in the body.

At Elite Sarms we take pride in research, looking at the latest trends and finding what works best on the human body, not only for all our customers, but ourselves too. If you have any questions on how to take your performance or body further, were here to help.
