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.

Feel Good & Look Good this Summer

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!
