SARMS aren’t as high as steroids are, on the Anabolic to Androgenic ratio scale, so most would agree they may not be as effective, however despite this, this doesn’t mean many still PREFER SARMS over steroids. There’s no question that SARMS have fewer androgenic side effects than gear does. This is due to the fact that SARMS are NOT hormonal like steroids. The other side of the coin, is that the long-term side effects of SARMS, aren’t as clear they are with steroids.
