For those, who still have no idea, how these drugs work, I will summarize my personal experience.
Above all, I would like to illustrate the effect of Andarine that I used for the first time in February 2010 during my PCT after an Anavar cycle.
My blood results on 5th February 2010, right after the end of the 6-week Anavar cycle (50 mg/day):
S-ALT 0.76 ukat/l 0.05-0.85 (-*-)
S-AST 0.75 ukat/l 0.05-0.89 (-*-)
S-GGT 0.14 ukat/l 0.05-1.13 (-*-)
S-Cholesterol 6.70 mmol/l 2.9-5 (---)*
S-LDLcholesterol 5.48 mmol/l 1.2-3 (---)*
S-HDLcholesterol 0.51 mmol/l 1-2.1 *(---)
S-Testosterone 0.39 nmol/l (11.25 ng/dl) 9.9-27.8 *(---)
ALT and AST (liver enzymes) elevated, but remained within the normal range. Cholesterol totally f*cked up. Testosterone dramatically suppressed (virtually zero).
At this point, I would switch to anastrozole and lose most of my strength gains within 10 days. But I started with Andarine, ca. 30 mg/day, divided into 2-3 doses. I was experiencing good results during the rest of February, breaking personal records, but I started to be tired at the beginning of March, experiencing typical symptoms of low testosterone (like fatigue and unusual sweating during exercise).
My blood test from 15th March showed these results:
S-ALT 0.46 ukat/l 0.05-0.85 (-*-)
S-AST 0.75 ukat/l 0.05-0.89 (-*-)
S-LDLcholesterol 3.11 mmol/l 1.2-3 (---)*
S-HDLcholesterol 0.68 mmol/l 1-2.1 *(---)
S-Testosteron 4.58 nmol/l (=132,09 ng/dl) 9.9-27.8 *(---)
ALT returned back to the normal state, cholesterol and testosterone started to improve as well. But testosterone remained too low. Despite taking Andarine 30 mg/day, my strength performances started to decline. On 25th March, I increased Andarine dosage to 45 mg/day, but I wasn't satisfied. On 1st April, I increased the dosage to 50 mg/day. The effect was visible after several days, and I went through two "Stakhanovite weeks". The feelings of energy were incredible. No steroids that I was taking before (Deca, Winstrol, Anavar) could get close to this. Training loads that would normally exhaust me were suddenly nothing. I walked out of my home gym like if I didn't train at all. Unfortunately, I had only few drops of Andarine left, and on 19th April, I had to switch to anastrozole, 1 mg/day.
My blood test from 5th May was as follows:
S-AST 0.75 ukat/l 0.05-0.89 (-*-)
S-LDLcholesterol 2.61 mmol/l 1.2-3 (-*-)
S-HDLcholesterol 0.88 mmol/l 1-2.1 *(---)
S-Testosterone 14.72 nmol/l (424,6 ng/dl) 9.9-27.8
I am sorry that I didn't do any blood test around 20th April, but I can state that Andarine taken at doses 30 mg/day did not supress testosterone at all. It also didn't influence ALT and cholesterol. And I would dare to say that even those 50 mg/day didn't interfere markedly with any of the blood parameters, although I am not sure, how it affected testosterone. The sudden increase was certainly due to anastrozole.
I admit that a PCT lasting 3-months is not just the best example, but this was a useful lesson of what I can expect from S4. And I was pleasantly impressed. Naturally, I experienced the typical ocular side effects, but that was everything.

A comparison of Andarine with Ostarine (a very useful experience)
