Re: GW501516...post your experience
"GW-50156 regulates fat burning through a number of widespread mechanisms [7]; it increases glucose uptake in skeletal muscle tissue and increases muscle gene expression, especially genes involved in preferential lipid utilization.,[8][9] [10] This shift changes the body's metabolism to favor burning fat for energy instead of carbohydrates or muscle protein, potentially allowing clinical application for obese patients to lose fat effectively without experiencing muscle catabolism or the effects and satiety issues associated with low blood sugar. [11] GW-501516 also increases muscle mass, which improved glucose tolerance and reduced fat mass accumulation even in mice fed a very high fat diet, suggesting that GW-501516 may have a protective effect against obesity [12]"
It says it does, technically, but.. IMO and from experience: I wouldn't go as far to say it's anabolic on it's own, no. I gain mass abnormally easily; I can run winny by itself and be in a caloric deficit of 1200cals or lower and not lift and still gain mass, on GW I didn't gain anything. I got leaner. But I would say it helps you to not become catabolic.. There's a difference. It DOES however like I said improve muscle/anaerobic endurance which can LEAD to better gains in the gym.
I'm assuming you read this from mich's write-up:
