What I had hoped for in a SARM is what we have in a SERM but for androgens.
By that I mean, I was hoping that these SARMS would activate androgen receptors selectively - ideally blocking the androgen receptor involved in negative feedback (HPTA) but leaving AR's in muscle tissue free to be agonized.
From what i understand, Ostarine does not do this. It simply works as an anabolic, and a reasonable one at that, but it does not prevent shut down. It may not cause much shutdown but does not prevent it.
If it did do this then we'd all be foolish not to run it - we could run gear indefinitely and whenever we came off our hormones would have been pumping all along so no downtime whatsoever!
