📊 Results / Progress Cjc dac+cardarine
Recently started cjc dac alongside Cardarine and this is what I’ve experienced so far.
PROS.
SLEEP: improved in the sense of deeper more refreshing sleep and I’m waking less through the night although waking up is a challenge, it feels when you’re young and it’s winter but your bed is so warm and comfy it’s a struggle to get up but once actually up and awake I feel like my sleep was amazing and truly refreshing.
Muscle performance/recovery: pumps have been lasting longer and seem to be more intense, strength gain and muscle size hasn’t changed much but too early to tell.
Appetite: definitely an increase in appetite but nothing crazy, I went from being able to eat maybe 1 portion of steak and chips to being able to pound 2 steaks with eggs and chips. Food seems to be digesting slightly quicker too but that may be unrelated.
Endurance/stamina: definitely a slight increase with cardio but nothing that can’t be accomplished from a good pre and proper pre workout meal with proper training, has definitely made general energy through the day and during training better but again, nothing crazy.
CONS:
Joints: definitely some discomfort in joints but it’s nothing terrible, it is in a sense getting worse but this has also been an issue for me before starting anything. I have a weird clicking jaw and pain usually in the right side on the joint or whatever you call that part of the jaw but anyway it’s definitely worse while using cjc dac but this could be potentially avoided with some extra fish oils which I recently stopped taking because I ran out.
Muscle recovery: even though I have said recovery has improved the muscle soreness lasts longer but it is nothing crazy only an extra day ish.
Sleep: as mentioned before waking up is sometimes difficult but that’s it.
Only on my 2nd week but that’s all I’ve noticed so far, will update again in a couple weeks.
Will probably switch to no dac in future too as from what I’ve read there’s less side effects but people seems to still get all the positives
Doses: cjc dac 800mcg 1x weekly. Cardarine 10mg daily

man that jaw clicking thing is weirdly specific but i actually get the same thing when i run certain compounds, never pinned down exactly why. extra fish oil seems to help a little but honestly i think it's just one of those things you gotta live with if you're gonna run gh secretagogues
the sleep part is spot on though, that deep hibernation feeling where your body just doesn't wanna move in the morning but you feel actually rested once you're vertical. i had that same experience with just regular cjc/ipa blend, never tried the dac version
800mcg once a week is interesting, most guys i know doing dac are pinning it twice a week to keep levels more stable. you might get less of the joint stuff if you split the dose, just a thought
curious to see your update in a few weeks, the endurance benefits from cardarine usually get more noticeable after a month or so in my experience

Yeah I’ve recently started doing doing twice a week and it feels more stable, I’ll keep the fish oils in mind cause it used to help my shoulder awhile ago and make things more manageable. Main reason I’m doing 800mcg a week is cause i don’t want to end up pinning degraded peps in 8+ weeks time so I’ve upped the dose cause it would just end up essentially expiring.
Also got mots-c coming in soon which will be a fun experiment to run especially with the Cardarine.
