LGD-4033 selectively binds to androgen receptors in muscle and bone tissues, stimulating muscle growth while minimizing effects on other tissues like the prostate, which is a concern with traditional anabolic steroids. When LGD-4033 binds to androgen receptors, it activates muscle-building pathways, leading to an increase in protein synthesis, muscle cell proliferation, and a decrease in muscle breakdown (catabolism). This promotes lean muscle mass and strength.
Muscle building & Fat loss Effects: LGD-4033 has been shown to promote an increase in lean muscle mass. Studies have reported gains of muscle tissue and strength even at low doses, making it appealing for those looking to add muscle. Some users have reported significant improvements in strength, which could translate into the ability to lift heavier weights, further enhancing muscle growth. Also while not its primary function, LGD-4033 can indirectly support fat loss through muscle gain and an increase in metabolic rate, as more muscle mass increases overall caloric burn. Keep In mind that your diet is everything and can effect the rate of weight gain and fat-loss.
LGD-4033 may mildly suppress natural testosterone production, but it is less suppressive compared to anabolic steroids. Keep in mind suppression can lead to fatigue, low libido, or mood swings if not managed properly. A PCT (Post Cycle Therapy) is always recommended after your cycle to restore proper hormone levels.
