Quick stats and bio.
Age: 37
Sex: yes plz lol
Weight: 86 (currently after resent cutt)
Height: 1.73
Just quickly..years ago 14 years ago to be exact age 24 ..I was on something ..I call it something because I myself did not know what it was ..Yes, I was young and stupid ..it was an injection...maybe test maybe deca..who knows ..it did not ask just, went and the pharmacist at a local pharmacy also n Huge guy ..bodybuilder it seemed..gave me it once a week for as I remember for 5 weeks ...there was many bodybuilders going there and because I did his computers at that time ..I asked him for riots and he gave me ..at a price off course..can't even remember how much ..anyway long story short ..it worked for me ..it remember reaching 94kg and looked awsume ...but I never went back ..did not even do ptc ..did not even know it existed back then. Side effects then..can't remember that I had any except I got married lol, and is 'n bit bold today. While I was married I got fat ..very ..got divorced maybe 6 years ago, single father of 3..anyway, since then I made gym my new home ...up until now..lost plenty of weight and got build ever since in a "natty" way lol
Why am I telling you all this ..well up until now I think I have reach a point were I can't build any more ...did every routine in the book the last 6 years .we're my genetic profile and think has reached its max ..and without help or a boost ..I dont think I will go any further...
So ..I have been doing research and came across this forum ....wich I think is the best there is ...still reading and studying ...every day ..thanks.
Anyway...so after all these years I decided to give it a shot again .. SARMS...got my attention becourse of all it benefits..and not so much side effects to start of with. Especially RAD..testerone...and its ability to be selective , non toxic to liver and so on. ..Even though it is still new ..I think it's benefits exceed it's negatives ..and with I low dose and PCT1 in place ...I think for starters it's the best choice for me ...so im gonna give it n go.
Still have to done my blood work ..for a baseline ..want to ...but it depends when my stock will arrive ..if it's tomorrow..then I will be to eager to start else I will go and get it done.
So my cycle I am planning is 8 weeks ...running very low the first 2 weeks or 2 weeks, depending how I feel ..on 5mg a day to see how my body reacts ..then bumping it up to 10mg ...the last 2weeks. I got attracted to rad ..because of its ability to be like test ...and produce test without injection ..wich is ideal for me to start of with and because I don't really have time now being a single father and they living with me ..so oral it is..and yes I did see on a lot of blogs that it is suppressive..and half way I can also get my blood work to confirm ...
So I don't want to make this topic any more longer than it is.....but that's it my rundown..will give n full log as I go ...and post it here.....so excited to start ....
I will post n pic on how I look now
as a before ...
Any thoughts will be appreciated.
Thx keep up the good work

Welcome to the forums. I'd be keen to follow your log. Just to make sure, you don't want to go on a cycle because of your kids? No judgment, just reckon you you qualify for a proper Test cycle (if not more).
Anyway, best of luck mate.

Well done for achieving what you have so far!
I will be following your log with interest, as I am in similar situation body wise and a couple years older.
Why not look at a test prop / PCT1 cycle? This is exactly what I am planning.
Cheers and good luck!

Got my stock yesterday could not wait to get started this morning ....could not sleep thats how exciting I was ..so this morning being very tired and all ..I weighted myself ..standing at 86. Went to the gym ..and because its a Saturday..it's my active rest day ....i decided to go with n full upper body workout and n doing a HITT 20 min session afterwards ...and I have to say ...with being tired and all ...the endurance was great...recovery quickly en just wanted to go and go ..so yes I know it only the first day ...and I might imagine it ..but the pump was great ..beter than I felt in a long time. I'm eating maintance now ..looking to increase in the weeks to come.....tomorrow I will do a full lower body workout before targeting independant muscle groups from Monday on.

I think it might be to early to give an review..I'm only 4 days in ....so my plan was to give my full opinion / review / progress in a weeks time ....but in a nutshell...I'm moved from 5mg to 10mg since monday an hour before gym....after reading others review and forums ..10mg seems a a better dose to start ..
Don't feel there is increase in strength yet..but I can feel there is a jump in endurance...and pump ...especially when doing high reps. I started to eat n bit above maintenance today ..to try and keep myself as anabolic as possible.....felt I needed that to get more progress ...other then that, it's a normal day at the office.
I will give a full review and progress pic on Saturday.

Day 8 ...1 week in
Weight 87.6
I'm very happy, ...I feel fuller and can definitely feel a change in my body ...no sides what so ever ...in fact and what is very interesting..is I suffer from anxiety and depression...and since taking the rad ..I had no need in taking my antidepressants...I feel great, and maybe this confirms my theory that I always had a low test level to begin with ...and one of rads abillitys is to boost your testosterone levels as an oral..so if this is this case and it's true and valid in my case ...then it's great news. Unfortunately I did not have my blood done to confirm this but it's theory worth considering.
..so what rad does for me in the gym is definitely endurance...my strength so far has not really go up unfortunately ..but the fact that I can gym for longer helps allot ...I feel anabolic ..and recover quickly...and that's what you want, hopefully my strength will go up in the weeks to come..then it wouldh be ideal. Im happy so far for this to be my first cycle.
I always say seeing is believing..so I will post pics of my progress. The pics has been taken in the morning about the same time as well as my weight.
So daar is dit nou ...sien uit na week 2 ..."kom ons gaan groot" lol

2 Weeks in
Weight 87.3
So I'm only logging day 25 today since its was Christmas ext.
I'm currently on holiday, so it's been tough keeping my diet as clean as possible ...but my training has been on point...
I'm not traking macros to the tee .but did record some macros on some days using myfitness pal..so I know more or less what my macros and calories are at ..I'm eating in surplus of about 500 to 600 above my maintenance at the moment.
Last week was a very tired week for me...felt very tired most of the time but I still pulled through. Im not suppressive because my lilo is still skyrocked ...maby it was just because it's the holidays ..who knows. So with that in mind I don't see any strength gains or progress at moment feels like I'm standing still now. But on a possitive note ..if been eating more but seems to stay or feels lean and that's a bonus atlease. Normally when I up my cabs or calories I pick up fat very quickly so in my bulking faces it counts against me ..especially with my age and my skin already stressed from my fat days ..it's a problem when trying to lean out after n bulking fase as you can see in my pics my belly area is covered by skin ..and it actually looks like fat but it's not ..so all this extra skin is covering my abs. I have read allot about how to reduce it ..but the only way is a tummy tuck ..and who has money for that ..not me. Wish there were some kind of cream or steriod that can shrink the skin. If anybody know of some tips or products that can do this..help will be very appreciated. Anyway I'm moving off topic here and making this post to long again lol.
Cons> ..only a bit of acne on my chest bit it's not major
Pros> Overall I'm still positive and feel there is some results with this compound. Maybe my expectations is to high and need to accept that this product is still an experiment and new products after all. This rad only cycle was just an experiment to see how my body reacts. After this cycle I'm gonna run a proper AAS cycle .

3 weeks in
Weight 88kg ..'n total gain of 2 so far
Unlike last week were I felt very tired ..this week I feel great.
I increased my dosage to 15mg this week and it work much better then 10mg for me. Week 4 I'm gonna increase it again to 20mg ..which according to most online forms is the sweet spot for this compound..so why not give it a try. So far I incremented my cycle dosages slowly...the first 2 days I was 5mg ..then the rest of week 1 and 2 ..at 10mg ..and this past week at 15mg ..so week 4 will be 20mg which will also be my last week until the caps run out, that may go into week 5.
The acne from last week seems to go away now ..but did get n acne soup for that..so all sorted there. The only thing I experience now is ..sometimes it almost feels like someone is taking my testicals and squeezing them ever so slightly....so not sure what to make of that..but it's not major or borther me at all ..just thought I will mention it.
Other then that the pumps is amazing ...especially now with 15mg a day ..it's really gives you an edge and feels great. I ready have been expecting strength gains but honestly it has has not been there for me like a have read on the Internet....endurance also has fallen a bitt flat ..but I think it's because I'm getting used to it now and may still be the same that I felt in the first week. But to get back to the pumps this week has been way better then the other weeks.
I can truly say I'm growing ..I can feel it and see it...it's not always what the scale says but how you look in the mirror and how you feel ....there is definitely a change in me, non in which I would have ever felt if I was still lol natty ....this stuff really works and is a great addition in my opinion to start of with or even if you just want an egde.
Unfortunately this is not enough to for me and that's why I am only running this for cycle for 5 weeks. I want to move on to the main course....and this is my starter.

Are you eating in a deficit or a surplus?
So you are going to do 5weeks? Then straight on a cycle or are you going to run a PCT after this?
Have you or a partner noticed your midsection and lower ab pouch tightening up?
It is on you. It always has been...

So the studies done on the monkeys also translates to us. But if you look at your results your LH and FSH should only be slightly lower than normal meaning you are suppressed but not totally shut down like steroids will. So recovery wil be easier and quicker.
Thanks for the time and effort to log it and to get bloods done. Keen to hear what your final thought is. Did you do Pre bloods?

The suspense might be killing you, but Clomid is killing Me @ the moment
6 days on Clomid, and I feel like train hit me..... :blink:
Anyway, I'm not complaining ....so apologies in advance for this long final review.
Last week Friday, was the end of my 4 weeks, which turns to 5 weeks RAD only cycle.
My dosages was 10,10,15,20,20 mg ..were the first 2days was 5mg ..last 2 days 25mg
In total I gained 4 kg though the course of 5 weeks and 2% BF, eating way above maintenance as clean as possible but bare in mind that it was also the holiday period, so allot of those days was cheat days ...I believe 2 of the 4kg is lean mass. So 2 kg of lean mass in 5 weeks is not to bad if that is what you looking for.
The question is, is it worth it ?
In my option ..I would say yes, if you don't want any side effects and is willing to put on lean mass slowly but surly, then it is for you maybe. If you like me and want to see better, quicker results, then its better just to go the AAS route and not to waist your time, and taking my TEST results is consideration and seeing that RAD does course suppression.
I did not do blood work before this cycle as I was to eager to start. But regardless of my T baseline, I doubt that my T levels was so low before I started, so for me the AAS route might have been better.
I believe that this component is a great start cycle, it does give you a edge, and what stands out the most of RAD is the great pumps, and the endurance the first 2 weeks. Some say it give you strength , but I did not feel any strength gains in the 5 weeks, only a great pump in general.
The only major CONS that I had was maybe a bit of aggression mid cycle, but easy maintainable ...a few minor side effects but nothing to log about.
and that is about it in a nutshell ....
