LIGANDROL XXL LGD-3303

LIGANDROL XXL (LGD-3303)

LGD-3303, not to be confused with Ligandrol, was
developed by Ligand Pharmaceuticals to treat muscle
wasting conditions and osteoporosis.
This SARM has been tested on rats as well as humans, but
we have a very limited amount of anecdotal information
about the applications of LGD-3303 in the context of
bodybuilding.
Those who have used it describe it as the dry counterpart of
Ligandrol because it can blow you up in size without
retaining any water. For this reason, it is often compared to
oral steroids such as Anadrol, Turinabol and Epistane.

BENEFITS

MUSCLE
According to anecdotal reports this is one of the best, if not
the best SARM for building lean muscle mass. As
mentioned before, people who have used it often describe it
as the drier, stronger counterpart of Ligandrol, so gaining
more than 10lbs of lean muscle in 8 weeks should be
possible.
Due to its lack of water retention and its ability to retain and
even increase muscle on a caloric deficit, it could be used
effectively during a cutting cycle, but using it for that
purpose would be a waste of its muscle building potential.

STRENGTH AND PERFORMANCE
LGD-3303 is said to increase strength, performance and
stamina by a lot more than most other SARMs. It is
comparable to many oral steroids in that regard.

FAT LOSS
LGD-3303 does not burn fat, but like all anabolics it will
retain and increase muscle mass while on a caloric deficit.

BONES AND JOINTS
LGD-3303, like all SARMs, will increase the density and
strength of your bones.
Unlike Ligandrol, however, it will not have a joint-lubricating
effect due to the lack of water retention.

RECOVERY
LGD-3303 will make your recovery faster. You will feel less
sore the next day and your muscles will be ready to work
out again a lot sooner.
The extent to which LGD-3303 helps with recovery is
unknown, but it should be very effective at doing so.

COSMETIC BENEFITS
Given the lack of water retention, one should expect his
muscles to fill out while retaining a dry and hard look. It can
be argued that LGD-3303 provides the best of both worlds:
The volume and size that a wet compound would give, with
the dry, hard and veiny look that a cutting agent would
cause.
Pumps are also improved, and a more 3D look is
guaranteed with this SARM.

SIDE EFFECTS

The extent to which LGD-3303 suppresses testosterone is
unknown and varies from person to person, but according
to anecdotal information, LGD-3303 is one of the most
suppressive SARMs and it can possibly cause complete
shutdown. Therefore, having a testosterone base and doing
a proper PCT is advised.

The consequences of testosterone suppression or
shutdown are:
– Decreased libido
– Weaker erections
– Lethargy
– Lack of motivation
– Irritability
– Testicular atrophy
– Testicular pain

It is worth noting that LGD-3303, like all SARMs, will
decrease your SHBG. This will lead to an increase in your
free testosterone levels which usually causes libido,
motivation and well-being to improve during the cycle, but
ONLY if you have a testosterone base.

CHOLESTEROL
LGD-3303, like all SARMs, will mess with your HDL and
LDL cholesterol levels.
Your HDL (good) cholesterol will be significantly decreased,
and your LDL (bad) cholesterol will probably increase.
The impact of LGD-3303 on the lipid panel will be harder
than that of most other SARMs, and it will be comparable to
that of actual oral steroids.
This side-effect will not manifest itself by impacting the way
you feel, so you will have no symptoms. Getting bloodwork
at the end of a cycle will show the true impact of the SARM
on your lipid panel.
