The bulking phase of a cycle is designed for gaining as much quality lean muscle tissue as possible while gaining the least amount of body fat in the process. Bulking phases can last anywhere from 12-16 weeks depending on the amount of muscle tissue desired. It’s not uncommon to be able to gain anywhere from 10-30 pounds of muscle tissue during a bulking cycle. We have designed two different SARM-only bulking stack options for women.

Selective Androgen Receptor Modulators (SARMs) are similar to anabolic-androgenic steroids (AAS) in that they are anabolic in nature and can enhance the ability to gain strength and muscle mass. Developed as an alternative to testosterone in clinical settings for different muscle-wasting conditions/diseases, SARMs differ from traditional steroids by their mechanism of action. Where SARMs are selective to the androgen receptors primarily found in muscle and bone tissue, steroids are not selective and bind to androgen receptors in other tissues/organs. Prolonged use and/or abuse of steroids can lead to serious life-threatening conditions for this and other reasons. SARMs also have fewer adverse side effects compared to steroids, so they are considered safer, especially for women (as they are far less androgenic and do not lead to virilization), making them ideal for beginners wary of using traditional steroids. Most SARMs come in oral/pill form, so they do not require injection. This does make them hepatotoxic, but generally, they are significantly less liver toxic than most oral steroids. SARMs will still suppress natural testosterone production (depending on dosage), so they are generally used in conjunction with testosterone as a base compound. As SARMs are still relatively new, more research and long-term clinical studies are needed to prove their efficacy and side effects with prolonged use. So far the research and anecdotal evidence looks very promising for the future of SARMs. 

Option 1:

• LIGANDROL (LGD-4033)
• OSTARINE (MK-2866)
• IBUTAMOREN (MK-677)

 

Ligandrol (LGD-4033) is one of the strongest and most popular SARMs available to build quality lean muscle tissue. It holds the most potential for inducing muscular hypertrophy over all other SARMs. Ligandrol is very effective at inducing muscular hypertrophy, it also has a high level of bioavailability and tissue selectiveness making it very efficient. Although it doesn’t seem to be very estrogenic in nature, water retention is a reported side effect, making it preferable for bulking cycles.

Benefits:

• Increased lean muscle mass
• Increased strength
• Improved nitrogen retention
• Increased bone density
• Best suited for bulking
• Highly bioavailable

Possible Dosage & Cycle Length: 

• Women @ 2.5-10 mg/day
• 8-16 weeks

 

Ostarine (MK-2866) is the most clinically studied SARM to date, and the research has proven its efficacy as a safer alternative to Testosterone for therapeutic use. Ostarine is used to build muscle, however, it is a weaker SARM, which makes it the least suppressive with the fewest adverse side effects. Often stacked with other SARMs, it can be used for both bulking and cutting cycles by men and women.

Benefits:

• Mild gains in lean muscle mass
• Increased strength
• Improved nitrogen retention
• Increased bone density
• Used for bulking and cutting
• Relatively safe with minimal adverse side effects
• Best for beginners to PEDs

Possible Dosage & Cycle Length: 

• Women @ 10-30 mg/day
• 12-16 weeks

 

Ibutamoren (MK-677) is a growth hormone secretagogue and ghrelin receptor agonist, not a SARM, but is often mistaken for one. It increases the strength of the pituitary glands’ growth hormone pulsations, and total daily production of growth hormone. MK-677 does not cause pituitary desensitization as other GHRPs tend to, making it a superior product. It is used in combination with other SARMs/steroids during a cycle, or to help regenerate injured muscle, bone, and joint tissue. It is a legitimate alternative to administering exogenous Human Growth Hormone (HGH), and is comparable to running a low dose of HGH at a fraction of the cost, and without having to inject it with a syringe. MK-677 can significantly increase appetite, which can be beneficial if bulking, or a hindrance if cutting weight. Ibutamoren can cause drowsiness so it is best taken before bed to promote a better quality of sleep.

Benefits:

• Growth Hormone Secretagogue
• Increase natural HGH secretion
• Increased IGF-1 levels and sensitivity
• Tissue regeneration
• Expedited healing
• Improved quality of sleep
• Increased appetite 
• Alternative to administering exogenous HGH 

Possible Dosage & Cycle Length: 

• Women: @ 15-30 mg/day
• 8-12 weeks

Option 2:

• LIGANDROL (LGD-4033)
• OSTARINE (MK-2866)
• TESTOLONE (RAD140)

Testolone (RAD140) is a very strong Selective Androgen Receptor Modulator (SARM) that is growing in popularity due to its very high level of anabolic potential. Its effects are very similar to Testosterone and it is currently being tested as a potential testosterone therapy alternative. It provides excellent increases in strength and muscular endurance. Testolone can be used for both bulking and cutting cycles. It shares qualities similar to Winstrol, making it ideal for cutting as it does not cause water retention, making muscles appear hard and dry when at a low body fat percentage. 

Benefits:

• Increased lean muscle mass
• Increased strength
• Improved nitrogen retention
• Increased bone density
• Used for bulking and cutting
• Reverses prostate enlargement from steroid use
• Cancer-fighting potential
• Neuroprotective qualities

Possible Dosage & Cycle Length: 

• Women @ 5-15 mg/day
• 12-16 weeks
