Does anabolic (test)prevent muscle breakdown when on gear?

[Heman713]

I know we need carbs to build muscle and protein…They go hand and hand? But if we are in gear can we get away with less carbs to build muscle? Also does gear prevent muscle breakdown so we can lift and do a little a little extra cardio without burning muscle mass?

 

[Bigmurph6]

Definitely that’s why bbers use testosterone and Anabolics while cutting so that they don’t lose mass while being in a deficit

 

[John]

You can do low carbs,lots of guys do it

 

[Dirtnasty]

Yeah the whole
Point of steroid weren’t you build muscle but to prevent muscle wasting. That’s the same reason sarms are being researched now they are looking for more selective ways to treat that. Techniacally some steroids are considered a sarm I believe tren is

 

[Bigmurph6]

Trenbolone is definitely an AAS compound its rating is 500/500

I function on 100-150ish grams of carbs a day. That includes everything… I squated yesterday on 65g prior. Sometimes I get high some days inadvertently.

Full disclosure. I have medical issues that mandate it and I’m not exactly a young man looking to put on mass.

 

[Dirtnasty]

Yes but all sarm means is it selective in the way it performs

 

[squatter]

A sarm is techically anything more selective in anabolism than testosterone.

Sarms as in lgd4033, ostarine are non-steroidal sarms so they dont have a 4 carbon ring like testosterone. Instead they are similat to serms like nolvadex.

 

[Bigmurph6]

Yeah and there’s many but AAS compounds are not SARMS.

AAS stands for Anabolic Androgenic Steroid

SARM Selective androgen receptor modulator

 

[Dirtnasty]

You can be both

 

[Bigmurph6]

An anabolic can’t be an androgenic receptor modulator

There all different types of compound classes

 

[Dirtnasty]

What do you th j k steroids attach to. The androgen receptors when we say sarms we are referring to non steroidal sarms but steroids that lets say don’t effect prostate are selective in the tissues they go to

 

[Bigmurph6]

No doubt brother I don’t feel good and we can discuss this another day I promise and I will break down the science for you brother it will be my next write up the difference between AAS and SARMS

Its a good idea I wish I could do it today

 

[Bigmurph6]

Im going to start writing about the different classes of PEDS and why each is a group brother you should be able to read today its going to take a little bit but it should be a good read

 

[Heman713]

That’s sounds awesome@ i seen some on the internet but they are from a professional/medical view…we know why we use them…lol…but that does sound like a great one

 

[Bigmurph6]

Its going to take awhile I didn’t realize how many classes of PEDS there are but its in motion and should be together hopefully today
