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

WhatsApp Image 2020 08 18 at 12.24.58 PM

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?

ES BLOGPOST JUNE AlphaHelix

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


Improve the function and health of your body

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.

SCIENCE OF LEAN MUSCLE CREATION & ES Forced Growth Cycle

WhatsApp Image 2019 12 09 at 17.31.23 356a36da 1187 434f a81f a348dfba14d9

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!

supplementation 9ff3f415 4142 4bea 9025 4c383512300e

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

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.

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.

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.

LET’S HEAT THINGS UP THIS SUMMER

TRAINING V01 d937bda4 648a 4924 8e84 127a19e93bd9

Have you hit a plateau in your training regime? Have your workouts become boring and lengthy? As we get deeper into the season of heat, the next step from dieting for weight loss is to gain momentum with your training. Here, we will discuss alternative ways of training to reach any aesthetic goal.

Let’s get moving with HIIT!

If done right, an intense focused session of this training should take about 30 minutes including your rest intervals and your body will naturally burn fat for the rest of the day; this routine is called High-Intensity Interval Training otherwise known as HIIT. A workout that is time efficient, an ideal way for a productive day including enjoying our summer days without spending most of our times in the gym or running around all-day without showing any results.

One of the reasons why this workout is effective is what they call EPOC or Excessive Post-Exercise Oxygen Consumption. Due to the fast-paced workout is done within a short time you will be out of breath, excessive sweat, and that good ol’ muscle tear sensation. Once the workout is over and you are back into your daily routine, your body’s metabolism can continue to burn more calories than when at a complete slumber or rest from the night before. This is because the amount of oxygen required to restore your body to its normal state takes time. That is why the resting level of metabolic function burns calories as oxygen travels back throughout your body for restoration.

The most important step before beginning this workout is warm-up. This only takes about 5 to 10 minutes to ease your breathing and muscles in tune before giving it an intense shock without any obstacles and injuries in the long run. The beauty of this routine is that it can be done both outdoors and indoors. Here are a few basic workouts for any beginners:

Catabolic workouts you can use a track (*highly recommended), cycling, which can be done both outdoors or indoors. As for indoor based: treadmill, elliptical, and/or inclines.

  • One lap of jog gets your heart pumping, steady breathing and leg muscles going.
  • Sprint for a 100 metres as a start for day 1. (Increase these lengths only as your body can permits to its limit)
  • Take a day break and make it interval, as this workout can be done within 30 to 45 minutes at a maximum.

Anabolic workouts can also be done both outdoors or indoors, kettlebells, sandbags, or bodyweight lifts.

  • Simple weights from lightest to heaviest at your maximum stretch
  • Make sure to keep lifts to the same amount on each rep, the weight increases as much as needed until your maximum rep.
  • Give yourself at 10 seconds of breathing in between reps, this method can also be done within 30 to 45 minutes

This is a workout method that is a two-birds-one-stone where not only you are burning all the unwanted fat from summer delicacies but also work on your muscles especially on your glutes and hamstrings as it is a full body workout. Give yourself a whole week of catabolic and anabolic for the following week. This is recommended with a partner to get the best results as this method of workout is easy to talk yourself out of. But done right, rest assured it is the best workout you have ever done.

Time for Power Hour with Texas Method

One of the most common workouts we see at the regular gym, or cross fits is Power Lifting.

We always like to show off our shoulders, biceps, triceps, and traps especially this time of the year. Avid powerlifters tend to stagnate without any recovery process done along the way. There are some that overdo these lifts with little to no success of refined muscle build up. The most efficient lift known to get the best results is the Texas Method Powerlifting.

This balances the stress of increased weight and varied volume with adequate recovery time so that intermediate lifters will progress for an extended period of time.

This method consists of a three day per-week. Here is an overview example of the week regarding squats with weights:

  • Mondays are for high volume which means to lift at your limit of weight and goes up from there with at 10 intervals, and 30 reps per interval.
  • Wednesdays are active recovery which means increase maximum weight but add more batch of reps for 5 intervals.
  • Fridays are high intensity start on your maximum weight of say 315lbs for 20 reps, rest, 275lbs for 20 reps, rest, finally 225lbs for 20 reps, call it a day and recovery at home.
  • Deadlifts are only done at least twice in a week, as it does not have a recovery phase. There will be less results when overdoing it, and may result in injury.

The Texas Method is very simple in terms of the number of exercises. It is based on an increase in the loading weights of the basic structural exercises, not in the number of different ways you can perform a triceps down. Successful weight lifters or body builders works with effectiveness rather than complexity, and most importantly this progress manifest through proper diet, rest and sleep.

Mobility training and healthy recovery

There is one last training that will help you ease intensity after the first two methods and give yourself a break. Ideally, to end the day with light workouts or stretches like Hot Yoga. This gives your body some more flexibility after recovering from tearing any muscle from lifts done during the week.

Always remember:

  • to rest with proper posture in bed and sleep at a decent time for a good amount of hours (7-8 hours)
  • to make sure to put ice on any areas you have some sort of sore
  • to compress your body with some light massages
  • to elevate your lower body, feet up when laying down or sitting

Finally, consider Epsom salt baths with essential oils to build your mind and soul in preparation for another day or another week to maintain momentum and motivation.

These workouts is not filling up most of your time focusing on just shaping up your body exercising. Elite SARMS encourages everyone with these provided workout methods and supplements to live a better day to day lifestyle in the most efficient way. Be able to stay healthy and enjoy life through mind, body and soul.

Feel Good & Look Good this Summer

Nutrition 6dbd2999 7f36 4a7f 8202 c7ffd9ca1248

Summer has finally arrived! We, at Elite Sarms would like to give you tips on how to stay in shape and still enjoy the food and drinks summer has to offer.

Over the winter season, we have accumulated enough insulation to keep ourselves warm and cozy. However, hibernation is over, and it is time to take out those swimmers and bikini tops that have been hiding all winter season long.

Let’s get to it! We will be talking about Carb Cycling and Intermittent Fasting to amplify your results with Elite Sarms products.

What is Carb Cycling?

Carb Cycling is a dietary approach in which you alternate carbohydrate intake from high to low and low to high. Complex carbohydrates are a high-quality source of energy in our diet and are therefore essential to our physique results, however, too many carbohydrates consumed over a period of time can lead to excess fat storage.

Usually, in order to burn fat and build muscle mass simultaneously, we consume less carbohydrates and more protein; we also lose a lot of water weight along the way as result of low carb intake. Anabolic workouts such as high-intensity intervals, supersets and drop sets are highly recommended during this phase of dieting to help amplify your fat loss and muscle building results.

However, when you switch from low carbohydrate intake to high carbohydrate intake the insulin spike will drive sugars into the muscles giving you energy and creating a fullness to the muscles. The flat-muscles look that can be seen often in bodybuilders and figure models on stage (for example) is when carbohydrate intake is run too low and is not replaced properly. By running carbohydrate intake too low or not replenishing glycogen stores effectively the body can release hormones such as cortisol, norepinephrine and adrenaline putting you in a catabolic state (muscle breakdown).

One effective way of carb cycling is to run 2-3 low carbohydrate days followed by a cheat meal that is high in carbs. Pick your favourite foods, pizza, a home-made burger, sweet potato fries etc and take note of your energy levels and muscle fullness post meal. After the cheat meal you return to low carbohydrate intake and this can be rinsed and repeated for as long as you wish.

Elite Sarms products Hyper Lean (SR9009) and GH Pep (MK-677) both help to drive carbohydrates into the muscle instead of them being stored as fat, essentially mimicking carbohydrate cycling and can therefore drastically amplify your results, especially in combination with carb cycling.

Intermittent Fasting

Intermittent Fasting is when you fast for sixteen (16) hours and eat meals within an eight (8) hour period. This method of dieting is very simple that most people can do it consistently. If you do this fasting with some guidelines, it will keep muscle retention high and body fat low. This in return will help you take advantage of insulin sensitivity (the bodies effectiveness of driving carbs into muscle) when it matters most!

There are three (3) different methods of Intermittent Fasting. These include Alternate-day fasting, Whole-day fasting, and Time-restricted feeding.

  • Alternate-day fasting is alternating between days of no food restriction with days that consists of one meal that provides at least 25% of daily calorie needs to replenish your body.
  • Whole-day fasting is when you give yourself at least 2-3 days of the week fasting or up to 25% of daily calorie intake for replenished energy, and then no food restrictions on the other 2-3 days of the week. This really depends on how well your body can adjust to days without food intake.
  • Time-restricted feeding is one of the most common fasting methods in which you designate a time frame for fasting and a time frame for eating. One example is waking up and fasting until 2pm. Then from 2pm until 10pm consuming your entire daily energy intake in meals spaced-out throughout that period.

In all cases consuming black coffee or black tea (1-3 times daily) during your fasting period and drinking plenty of water can help to blunt hunger and keep you energised for training and work.

Elite Sarms encourage you to try these different diet methods and see what works best with your personal biology. With these tips, you can stay motivated with your nutrition and dietary regime and get great results while staying active and having enough energy to function during the entire day. All for the purpose of looking and feeling better this summer!

OPTIMUM PERFORMANCE: 7 Ways To Build A Mindset Geared For Results!!!

Mindset 2df94dd5 d9a1 49fc 9377 d0ef851f40d6

Your mindset is your most powerful tool, and your success both in the gym and out of the gym depends on how well you can sharpen your own mental power. Adopt a mindset that gears yourself for optimum performance and it will help you do more than just build muscle and lose fat!

In this article, we are going to share something far more important than any simple program or nutrition advice. These are our top 7 tips to create and utilize your own “Optimum Performance Mindset” to deliver the results you know you can achieve.

Tip 1 /// Focus only on the task at hand.

Every single daily action you take toward achieving your goal is important, but unless you make each step and each choice the most important thing at that moment, you’ll never get the results you’re capable of getting.

Adopt the mindset that once you step foot into the gym, this weight training session is the most important thing you could be doing at this very moment. This intense cardio session is the most important thing in the world while you do it. This post-workout meal is the most important thing, NOT eating that bar of chocolate is the right choice – and so on and so on. This will help you stay focused and stay disciplined even in the height of summer.

However, just know that once it’s done, it’s done!! Keep intensely focused and moving forward.

Tip 2 /// Be the best version of ‘You’

Strive to be the best version of you that you possibly can—regardless of your own limitations.

We all have natural weaknesses. We all have natural strengths. However, we’re not powerless against our genetics or our ability to constantly improve ourselves. We can choose to work with our weaknesses and grow as well as and capitalize on our strengths whether aesthetically related or not. The most important thing is to identify your current weaknesses and focus your attention on improving them every day.

Tip 3 /// Results are what matter

Results matter most. Never forget this. Don’t get complacent or comfortable just because you check a lot of tasks off your list every day. Never confuse activity for accomplishment. There’s a big difference between the two.

If you aren’t getting the results you want, you’re probably focusing on the wrong things. They say that insanity is doing the same over and over again and expecting different results. Keep pushing yourself harder, strive for daily improvement and reach new heights. It’s also good to keep a journal of your progress on a weekly basis to monitor your results.

Tip 4 /// Ask, learn, share and learn some more

As the saying goes, “To teach is to learn twice.” Openly sharing your training experience and supplementation knowledge with others is one of the most effective ways to take your own efforts to the next level. You get a better understanding and perspective on what you’re doing when you break it down to someone else.

Walk your talk. There’s no need to force what you believe onto others. If people respect what you do, they’ll seek out your advice. Failing to recognise that others have the experience you can benefit from may mean you never reach your full potential so don’t be afraid to ask others advice or opinions.

Tip 5 /// Use science and research to amplify your performance

Stay ahead of the curve and utilise the latest and most accurate scientific research to help you reach your goals. Just remember that if a great physique is your ultimate goal, to get there you will need the best possible research, knowledge, hacks and supplementation to amplify your performance on all levels.

Use the highest purity supplements, don’t buy into the fads – do your own research and make it work for you.

Tip 6 /// Nature versus Nurture.

Natural talent will only take you so far. The person who starts with little advantages but works their butt off to produce remarkable results is far more successful than the person who is extremely gifted and only puts in the minimal effort.

Stop comparing your current situation to other people who appear to be more naturally talented, and start focusing on owning every step of your own journey to success.

Tip 7 /// Potential is meaningless until actualized

Don’t waste your time thinking about ‘wanting’ to build a great physique. In life, you either do it or you don’t. Action creates reaction. Everyone has the potential to reach greatness, inaction is the antichrist of success.

Realise your potential, stay clear on what you want to achieve, keep focused on that, and take charge of your results.

Training your mind as well as your body is a practice of habit. At Elite Sarms, we believe adopting a success mindset is one of the key ingredients to take your body and your performance to the next level!

Stay tuned for our next piece on how to make goal orientated nutrition and dieting work for you!!

THE FOUNDATIONS OF MUSCLE BUILDING HEALTH & FITNESS

Elite Sarms 8 98d1fce5 b084 44fc 990b 3e10192ef84b

These days you are only a quick Google search away from being drowned by an overwhelming amount of information in regards to building muscle and reaching your training goals. Amidst this sea of confusing information it is easy to lose direction – however this month we are here to bring you back to basics and keep you swimming all the way to reach your training goals! Let us go back to school briefly and explore the foundations of training which when done right, make muscle gain and fat loss simple!

Firstly, protein, protein, PROTEIN! You can’t build big muscles without an adequate supply! Think of building muscle as building a house, protein brick by protein brick. Each protein brick is important to make this house big and strong. As a guide, aim for one gram of protein per kg of body weight a day (less active people need less) and that should be spread out over five or six small meals per day. Eating more frequently but in smaller portions requires discipline, however it will keep your body’s metabolism firing and your mind sharp.

Carbohydrates – friends not foes! Good carbohydrates provide long lasting energy and make a perfect pre-workout meal. We need good carbs to fuel our bodies during exercise and perform to our best, and also to prevent this energy being sapped from protein or muscles. Additionally, a common mistake made is not supplying the body with enough good fats. Good fats are an important factor in growth. A perfect example of this is when bodybuilders diet down for a show. During this period, they are limiting their good fat intake to achieve that super lean stage look. However, during this time they also stop developing muscle. Supply your body with what it needs – a Ferrari won’t run without fuel in the tank.

Sleep in! Sleep is when your body heals and regenerates itself. During sleep, most of your hormones, such as growth hormones and testosterone, are released into your system, allowing your body to recover and grow. The number one overlooked factor in building a better body is rest. Make sure you take your rest day or days seriously! Nutrients and recovery will help you become bigger, stronger and injury free.

Have another drink! And no we don’t mean alcohol, we’re talking about WATER! Water comprises up to 70% of the body and if you are dehydrated, your muscle size suffers as well. One third of muscle construction is water. So, drink up!

And finally, SUPPLEMENTS! The topic we love the most. Why? Because quite simply, supplements work if you work! It’s science. If we are eating correctly and training with intensity there will be results. However sometimes those results can be slow and very hard to achieve even with the right ingredients. This is where SARMs come onto the scene and speed up the process. SARMs have the ability to rapidly repair, strengthen and optimise muscle tissue upon being stimulated by training, it’s like grouping multiple high-intensity workouts into one session from a results perspective.

We are excited about the results from SARMs because you can see and feel the difference even after just a 4 week cycle. SARMs will enhance muscle growth, endurance and shed fat faster than any other supplements on the market. Finally, remember to constantly challenge yourself by adding different movements, new exercises, heavier weights and shock your body in a good way with a new routine. If you’re performing something you always do, train harder and faster, aiming to do better than you did the last time. And most importantly, have fun and enjoy the journey!

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.
