PCT for RAD-140, and Androgel 1%

[Southpaw1972]

Am two weeks in to my first SARM's cycle, using RAD-140. 50 years old. 6'1", 165, 15.5%bf(Dexa). 2300cals/day. 180-200g protein/day. 80-100g fats, rest carbs. First week, 5mg/day. No side effects felt. Second week, 10mg/day. Slight headache/euphoria/nausea first 3 days, now just a little euphoria once in a while, and some nausea, but only at the gym after heavy sets(I used to get nausea during this time anyway). I've been taking Androgel 1% for 3 years prescribed by my doctor. Plan to stay at 10mg/day for rest of cycle(another 6 weeks). I've not noticed anything yet from my cycle as far as strength or size, and weight hasn't changed. I obviously want to make sure I reduce the side effects of coming off the RAD-140, and was curious which products would be best for this? Also, I'm curious if I should still be using my Androgel during this cycle, or how I might use it during PCT? Thank you in advance for any advice.

Honestly drop the sarms! You are already on test. Do nothing! You are already completely shut down from trt.


You need a LOT of reading before doing anything again.

Why fuck with research chemicals when there are proven compounds.......like testosterone

Is your "rad140" hplc tested? Or are you taking a mystery substance. Let alone the fact that it hasn't been studied properly.

Sarms may have a place one day......just not now

Why do people wait until after they start a cycle to figure this out? Androgel is a form of test used in low t people. Pct will not be required if you stay on the gel. Your boys are already shut down so no need to get them going if you are already being treated for it. What you need to watch is liver levels . Did you get blood work done? Sarms have very little affect imo compared to testosterone but are way more dangerous and detrimental to organ health.

I'm not even going to get into your food, weight for how tall you are etc.......a lot to unfuck here

I think Will Smith is putting out his own brand of SARMS PCT supps ,, It's called , Upside the head. Best one I've seen so far ..... don't fuck with that shit. It's trash.

Hey guys. So an update of my RAD140 cycle. I did drop the Androgel 1% after a week on RAD140, and just continued the 140 at 10mgs/day for the entire 8 weeks. I'm now in week one of PCT using Clomid at 25mg/day, and taking a natural test booster with DAA. You can see my original comment regarding measurements, which as commented on, are not impressive. But hey, that's why I'm doing this. I gained 13lbs as of my last weight in, with obvious definition in my mid section. Keep in mind I was at a calorie maintenance/slight caloric deficit. I added approximately 25% on average to my 5 rep max on all lifts, and while I haven't done measurements yet, it's obvious to everyone my chest and back are broader. No side effects from the Clomid so far. I'm going to speak to my doctor about this gel. Anyway, the RAD140 obviously worked as advertised. I'll post again in 8 weeks with a comment on how much if anything I lose in size and or strength. Thanks again for the earlier comments.

Spoiler alert:

You're gonna lose most, if not all of what you gained.

No you were not. The only way that that is possible is if you gained 13 pounds of pure water weight. #physics

holy fucking shit, please unfuck yourself.

25%!? you're out of your gourd pal.
and 13 lbs? lmao maybe you retained water, but that's the only thing you gained.
calories in calories out, science still applies regardless of compound usage.

Very hard to come across reputable laboratories

Why on earth would you drop the testosterone gel for SARMS!!!? Are just posting here? Start reading and stop taking SARMS is waste effort and time. I don't get how you were on TRT and dropped it only to debase yourself by taking SARMS then PCT which I'm not going to get into. You were on TRT for an obvious reason. You're wasting just so much effort and money taking SARMS then PCT products and test booster....SMH when you were initially winning taking Testosterone. I mean did you feel your Androgel wasn't cool enough because it was a gel? Just to clarify Androgel is Testosterone. To be exact it's 20.25mg of Testosterone per pump. I don't know what your prescription is but many people are prescribed 100mg Testosterone per day. That's 5 pumps which due to Andogel's and its off brand competitors dispenser's allows you to get a little more than 100mg it comes out to 101.25gm. Thats 708.75gm Test a week. Compared to taking a intramuscular Testosterone the dosage is higher yet bioavailability is much much lower. Compared to taking a shot of Testosterone of any ester you would be blasting at that amount per week but with it being a gel marginal middle aged men labs come back showing their levels anywhere between 600-800 on average consistently. Again not sure what your dosage is since you described yourself taking Androgel 1% which says a lot about your opinion of your TRT regimen. Your more accurate on describing your SARMS regimen then the compound you should actually be focused on since that's your base. You get your labs and figure out where you Test is at then go from there in my opinion. No matter what your going to get sustained benefits from your Testosterone over anything you've mentioned your taking. I wouldn't even waste time researching another minute on SARMS. If anything ask to be put on Testosterone intramuscular shots. Probably be given test cypionate. If your at a TRT clinic good chance of them giving you a good dosage or even put you on Sustonan. If you want to level up then there are plenty of places online to get same testosterone ester your taking and buy some and up your dosage on your own. Usually if your seeing an endocrinologist they do 6month some 1 year reviews. Ween down close to your appointment and play it safe. Instead of researching SARMS research an oral your comfortable with that fits your goals. Anavar is a great add on for beginners while taking a liver supplement your relatively low side effects and can time it just right to where it's out of your system so you don't have it show up in labs on reviews. I hope this advice gave you a better perspective. This is my opinion and others may also give their input on my advice or your situation in general. But anyone with average knowledge and experience will tell you what your doing really is just plain counterproductive and a waste of time and money.
