peter, i agree with half of your statement. SARMS are NOT to be classified in the same field as steroids. they don't compare. that being said, they are definitely more useful then adding a few lean pounds. I have seen some pretty successful gains from SARMS. especially the more expensive $1000 stacks. but that being said, SARMS is a great way to start seeing if you're even remotely close to AAS. it gives you a chance to see if you can adhere to a strict dosing schedule daily without being discouraged, and how dedicated you are diet and training wise.
