LGD-3033 is NOT a typo in LGD-4033, aka Ligandrol. It's a different, new SARM, developed by the same company: Ligand Pharmaceuticals. 

LGD-3033 is a selective androgen receptor modulator (SARM) that has gained popularity among bodybuilders, athletes, and fitness enthusiasts for its potential to enhance muscle growth, strength, and performance.

Despite its classification as a SARM, Ligandrol shares similarities with traditional anabolic steroids in terms of its anabolic effects on muscle tissue. So, what do you expect from it?

Mechanism of Action

LGD-3033 exerts its effects by selectively binding to androgen receptors in skeletal muscle tissue, leading to increased protein synthesis, muscle hypertrophy, and strength gains.

Just like all other gear, but unlike traditional anabolic steroids, which also activates androgen receptors in other tissues, LGD-3033 exhibits tissue-selective activity, minimizing the risk of androgenic side effects such as prostate enlargement and hair loss.

By targeting androgen receptors specifically in muscle cells, Ligandrol offers a potentially safer alternative to traditional steroids for individuals seeking to optimize their physique and athletic performance.

LGD-4033 vs LGD-3033

In short: LGD-4033 is a bulker with some water retention, LGD-3033 is less potent, but drier: you get less mass, but all you get is pure muscles, no fat or water. LGD 4033 may be preferable for those seeking muscle growth, and LGD 3303 could be a better choice for those prioritizing weight loss alongside all the gains.

LGD 4033 (Ligandrol):

Well-established SARM, known for its muscle-building and bone-protecting properties.

Benefits include:

• Increase in muscle mass;
• Improvement in bone health.
• Potential enhancement of stamina and libido.

Typical doses:

• For men: 5mg to 10mg daily;
• For women: Start with 2.5mg for the first week, then increase to 5mg daily.

Cycle length: Typically around 6 weeks.

LGD-3303:

Newer variation of the same SARM, developed by Ligand Pharmaceuticals. Shares similarities with LGD 4033 but more recognized for aiding in weight loss alongside muscle and bone enhancement.

Benefits include:

• Improvement in muscle and bone health;
• LEAN muscle gains;
• Potential for weight loss.

Higher doses compared to LGD-4033:

• For bulking: 20mg daily for men, 10mg daily for women;
• For cutting: 10mg daily for men, 5mg daily for women.

Cycle length: 8 weeks for cutting, 10 weeks for bulking.

Side by Side:

• Muscle and Bone Health:

  • LGD 4033: Primarily focuses on bulking;
  • LGD 3303: Dry gains and weight loss in addition to muscles.

• Libido and Stamina:

  • LGD 4033: More endurance benefits;
  • LGD 3303: Less endurance benefits.

• Dosage Differences:

  • LGD 3303 generally requires higher doses compared to LGD 4033 for similar effects.

• Cycle Length:

  • LGD 3303 may have shorter cycle lengths for specific goals like cutting.

Dosage and Administration

The optimal dosage of Ligandrol varies depending on individual goals, experience level, and tolerance. Typical dosages range from 10 to 20 milligrams per day, administered orally. 

Ligandrol is usually well-tolerated, but some individuals may experience mild side effects such as headache, nausea, and fatigue. These effects are generally transient and resolve with continued use or dose adjustment.
