Science-based Strategies to Burning Fat Fast!

Science-based Strategies to Burning Fat Fast!

Original Design: Michelle G. Thibault
Re-design: Ryan McTeigue

Achieving a lean and toned body is a common fitness goal for many on their fitness journey. Dropping unwanted abdominal fat can be especially challenging!! This specific type of body fat that accumulates around the stomach area (also known as visceral fat) requires solid dedication to a health and fitness regimen to see actual results. Results that show when you look in the mirror.

And just because you’re not at the point where you feel you should be, does not mean that an ideal toned physique is that far out of reach. If you apply some of these science based fat burning strategies with consistency, over time, it is impossible to not see a positive result. And how far you take that depends purely on your vision and dedication.

With that in mind, we have collated evidenced-based strategies that achieve accelerated fat loss and target the abdominal section more than other areas of the body. Let’s dive in…….

ADD Soluble Fibers Daily

Soluble fiber absorbs water and turns into a gel that regulates the passing of food through your digestive system. Researches show that this type of fiber supports weight loss by decreasing the amount of calories your body absorbs from food and by helping you eat less because of the satiety it brings.

Make an effort to regularly consume excellent sources of soluble fiber such as; flax seeds, legumes, shirataki noodles, berries and nuts.

Ditch Refined Carbs and Processed foods

You do not have to follow a strict low carb diet and if you do you may fall off your fitness path altogether due to lack of energy! Studies suggest that by replacing refined carbs with unprocessed carbs can improve metabolic health and specifically reduce belly fat.

Due to being made up of natural cells, whole foods have markedly lower carbohydrate densities compared to flour and other processed products. The present hypothesis also suggests refined carbs and processed foods produce an inflammatory reaction in the body, with fat accumulation able to effect at “almost double” by increasing systemic absorption of lipopolysaccharides.

The well-known Framingham Heart Study also shows that people with the highest consumption of whole grains were 17% less likely to have excess visceral fat (stomach fat) than those who consumed diets high in refined grains.

The take home point is this – not all carbs are created equal. Refined and processed carbs create a drastic spike in blood sugar levels creating a cascade of negative effects, one major effect is stomach fat accumulation. Whereas consuming carbs such as; sweet potatos, vegetables and ancient grains regularly will actually stabilise blood sugar levels creating a cascade of positive effects including; muscle building from glycogen uptake into muscle and an increase of metabolism leading to extra fat burning from increased muscle building. Its a great positive cycle 🙂

So by mostly ditching the ‘refined & processed’ carbs and instead recategorising them as “cheat carbs” and scheduling them in your diet 1 x or 2 x per week will help keep you moving toward your goals and getting results while staying sane and energised! Eating Root vegetables, vegetables and ancient grains on the regular will only have positive results.

Cardio exercises with resistance training


F
itness fans know that cardio burns calories and helps aid fat loss. Resistance training, also known as strength or weight training is known to be the most important training for preserving and gaining muscle mass. Combining 2 – 3 cardio routines of about 20-30 minutes of HIIIT training per week with 4-5 strength training sessions per week dramatically increases the rate of fat loss. There was even a study of overweight teenagers that shed significant amount of visceral fat when subjected to a combination of strength training and aerobic exercise.

Fat Burning Supplements that Work

  • Fish oil supplements sourced from salmon, mackerel, shark and sardines are incredibly rich in omega 3 and omega 6 fatty acids. Multiple studies suggest that omega-3 and omega-6 may help reduce visceral fat, diminish inflammation, and protect from cardiovascular diseases.

  • Elite Sarms – Hyper Lean® (SR9009) is popularly dubbed ‘exercise in a bottle’ due to its potent effect of modulating the body’s physiological response as though in a state of constant exercise. Even in the absence of physical exertion or training, with Elite Sarms – Hyper Lean® SR9009, metabolic pathways continue to stay high WITHOUT the ‘wired effect’ on the CNS, observed in almost ALL fat burners currently on the market. When training is then added on top, the results increase exponentially.

  • As a REV-ERB α and β agonist, Elite Sarms – Hyper Lean® increases the basal metabolic rate and maintains energy homeostasis by altering the expression of genes involved in lipid and glucose metabolism. Studies show that intake of SR9009 decreases the storage of fat tissue, aids cholesterol and bile acid synthesis in the liver, and improves glucose and fatty acid oxidation to support skeletal muscle development.

  • Elite Sarms – Cardio Shred® (Cardarine or GW0742) works by stimulating the catabolic pathways that are activated when we do our cardio exercises. Research results show a substantial increase on specific consumption of fatty acids and reduction of glucose utilization, which holds great promise in treating obesity and diminishing extra fat stores.

  • Elite Sarms – Cardio Shred® burns fat, converting body fat to glucose to further the growth of skeletal muscles; it does all this without crashing blood sugar levels or overstimulating the adrenals and CNS. Studies also demonstrate that Cardarine/GW0742 efficiently enhances physical endurance therefore delaying exhaustion during training.

Stanazine® (S4) – The Strength and Muscle Master

ES banner website stanazine

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!

ES banner site performance man copy

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!

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.

Elite Sarms Body Re-Composition in 2023

WhatsApp Image 2020 08 10 at 18.02.56 f2eb8af8 a35c 4d6d afdc a0034b4f83b1

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,

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

Elite Sarms 1 bd694330 72ca 4253 8233 413a921a7c83

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.
