I have been using GW-501515 at 10mg/day and it makes me really tired and i cant finish my workout. Not sure why...
So how about this in a bulk cycle which contains orals that cause lipid issues.
Are you on low carbs? Doesn’t GW use fat for energy?
Mike Arnold would know the chemistry behind it. Maybe he can recommend a way to make it work for you. GW makes me feel great but i eat 2 cups of rice with my meals.
Yeah a few percent improvement. It’s not a miracle but it helps.I know this is an old post, but I didn’t know that just 10 mg improved your lipids. I just back using it at 20 mg….great for cardio. Love this stuff.
Not surprised. Orals destroy HDL and it doesn’t bounce back as good as it was before either always. Chalk that up to another thing I wish somebody had mentioned to me before it was too late.I think it helps A1C also
What I would like to see is someone other than @nothuman with excellent HDL run it. Like after anavar. My HDL was like 9. NINE. After a 75mg day anavar run

It is very effective for a lot of people. See below....Yeah a few percent improvement. It’s not a miracle but it helps.
Like I said a few percent. If you have an HDL of 35 you might get to 40 but probably more likely stabilize around 38 or so after being on awhile.It is very effective for a lot of people. See below....

Abstract
Objective: Peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor-δ-induced upregulation in skeletal muscle fatty acid oxidation would predict the modulation of lipid/lipoproteins.
Methods and results: GW501516 (2.5, 5.0, or 10.0 mg) or placebo was given for 12 weeks to patients (n=268) with high-density lipoprotein (HDL) cholesterol <1.16 mmol/L. Fasting lipids/apolipoproteins (apos), insulin, glucose, and free fatty acid were measured; changes from baseline were calculated and assessed. A second smaller exploratory study (n=37) in a similar population was conducted using a sequence of 5 and 10 mg dosing for the assessment of lipoprotein particle concentration. GW501516 demonstrated HDL cholesterol increases up to 16.9% (10 mg) and apoA-I increases up to 6.6%. Reductions were observed in low-density lipoprotein (LDL) cholesterol (-7.3%), triglycerides (-16.9%), apoB (-14.9%), and free fatty acids (-19.4%). The exploratory study showed significant reductions in the concentration of very LDL (-19%), intermediate-density lipoprotein (-52%), and LDL (-14%, predominantly a reduction in small particles), whereas the number of HDL particles increased (+10%; predominantly medium and large HDL).
Conclusions: GW501516 produced significant changes in HDL cholesterol, LDL cholesterol, apoA1, and apoB. Fewer very LDL and larger LDL support a transition toward less atherogenic lipoprotein profiles. These data are consistent with peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor-δ being a potentially important target for providing cardiovascular protection in metabolic syndrome-like patients.
"GW501516 demonstrated HDL cholesterol increases up to 16.9% (10 mg)"Like I said a few percent. If you have an HDL of 35 you might get to 40 but probably more likely stabilize around 38 or so after being on awhile.
I think it’s a great supp but again it’s not gonna pull a miracle for you.
Agreed. That 16% would turn a 35 HDL into a 40 HDL and we’re entering a zone there I’m pretty comfortable with. Cardarine is the good shit."GW501516 demonstrated HDL cholesterol increases up to 16.9% (10 mg)"
16.9% is pretty darn significant...especially when someone has a very low starting HDL.
