Looks like I am retaining water/bloating

[hawst]

Hey guys, I have been stacking SR9009, Rad140 & LGD-4033 for about 3 weeks now and I feel like i am bloating and holding water.
I have posted about my sudden weight gains which have me at 290lbs.
I ordered some water pills on Amazon to try and shed some of the water retention.

Is it normal to retain water on SARMs?

Any other suggestions? I am conscious of my sodium intake, I avoid salt entirely when possible. But I would appreciate any other tips.

One last note, I took my last injection of Cypionate (only 50mg/1/4cc) last Sunday, but I hit a vein in my leg which has bruised pretty badly, could this also be a side effect of injecting into a vein on accident?

SARMS are completely anabolic substances. They do not aromatize into estrogen or raise prolactin levels in the body. This makes side effects like water retention and bloat impossible.

SARMS can not cause water retention or bloating

Where did you order your SARMS from? It sounds to me like you are using fake SARMS and probably a pro-hormone.

If you did order your SARMS from a reputable source then I hate to be the bearer of bad news but that's not water brother, that's fat.

What Muskatw said. Sounds like pro hormones to me. Are you on TRT? If so, are you using an ai or when were your last bloods? Hitting a vein wont cause bloat. Just scared the piss outta ya a lil....lol.

As for the bloat, if you think its the "sarms" id come off em and pct and find legit gear for a rerun. Where was it from?

i remember your other thread too. you have fake SARM's bro

as simple as that

i would ask for my money back. we just had a place raided by the FDA and they were selling sarm's for a long time

order from sarms1 in the future

Guessin same! Time to PCT bud!!!! As for a stack w your b/f, I would try GW/S-4 and if feasible toss SR in there. I would stay away from the larger bulking compounds for now.

Without actually analyzing your Sarms, it's really impossible to say for certain they're fake or laced with pro hormones. Personally, I wouldn't jump to any conclusions just yet.
You stated you have been taking them for 3 weeks now, which is enough time for results to start showing. So i am sure some of the weight is muscle tissue but given your high bf% it's going to be hard to discern muscle from bf from water retention.
A blanket statement like it is impossible for Sarms to cause water retention is inaccurate. Everyone metabolizes compounds differently and each person experiences various side effects. So it is entirely possible to hold some water while your running these Sarms. It's nothing to worry about really unless your blood pressure is affected.

The vein that you knicked will cause localized symptoms and basically look like a bad bruise. Worse case is an inflammatory reaction causing the limb to swell up for a few days but from your photo it doesn't look to be the case.

Overall, I think your fine and should continue on course. You will absolutely gain weight while on these cmpds as they are designed to build muscle. I'm not sure if you thought they would only strip fat from the body but if that's what you're looking to do there are other cmpds better suited for that. I don't mean to offend anyone here but you can see all the Sarms1 advertising on this site so you know those products are going to be pushed over any other site...just something to think about.
Anyway, keep us posted on your progress.

Very well written and a nice, balanced approach!!!! I too am not in to the all this sarms supp is bunk or that one is bunk because for all we know they could all be bunk. My only concern with his really high b/f is that he is an estrogen making machine right now and bloat is the last thing he needs. How is your diet OP? Sodium intake? There are sooooo many factors here. Are you on an AI? Looking back, I agree with Pharma. Stay the course and get bloods ASAP! Female profile. If Shits outta wack then we can better advise.

I'm sorry but an independent media company randomly tested Sarm's from online companies selling. sarms1 was the ONLY brand that was found to be 99% pure. everyone else was either underdosed, bunk, or they couldn't even tell what was in it

so yeah if you aren't using sarms1 who the fuck knows what you are using. there is no way in fuck you will gain 15 pounds on real sarm's especially at your size. obviously you are retaining a shit ton of water

SARMs do not aromatize so real SARMs cannot cause water retention. Test can and will though so that is likely the culprit.

Exactly. SARMS do not effect estrogen or prolactin levels in the body in any way so side effects like water retention and bloat are impossible.

If you start using SARMS and all of a sudden your body weight shoots up a couple of pounds, that is a reg flag that your SARMS are bunk.

If you are retaining water when using SARMS (assuming you make no changes to your diet and training program) - then you are not using SARMS.

I am curious where this information is posted. This is not at all an attack on sarms, I am merely trying to locate the study that proves what you stated. Does the sarms1 site have this info?

it wasn't a study. it was an independent media company randomly testing sarm's from companies selling them online without their knowledge. you can find the video on youtube, i do not have it saved .. the link has been posted on here many times, do a search

I dont want to sound rude or anything - but how can you know you are retaining water when you bodyfat is so high?

Its easier to see and feel the bloat when you are leaner, but definitely not when you have bodyfat as high as that
