You could go with RAD and osta at around 10, the only problem with RAD on a cut is you tend to get quite ravenous.

Maybe just use the rad while you are steadily dropping your calories. That way when you get to your ideal deficit you can drop the rad and continue osta in full cut mode
Rad 8/8/8/8
Osta 15/15/15/15/20/20/20/20

I don't know if I could use RAD on a cut. I'd be starving all the time. The nutrient partitioning on it is insane! I can carb load for days & the scale doesn't even move. I have only done it once, but I was surprised at how I looked leaner & weighed the exact same after those few days.

Yes that is the question but you would not have to reduce calories much at all. My guess is if you just ate around maintenance you would cut up pretty quick, question is, is that even possible.

Sounds good! I might recomp on rad before I start this next cycle, bridge the two together.

Possible....with a ton of self control & will power.
You have a different idea every time I turn around about what you will do/run next. Haha!!

Rad bridged into tren/pheraplex is my next run. Final answer.

Yah Sarms have given me more options as I don't go too crazy with the potency of my enhancement aids I seem to have a really good endocrine system for my age and want to ride that out as long as I can. Sarms seem to be getting the job done right now.

I'm still not sure lol, I've got too much stuff to pick from! Thinking about cutting and pheraplex isn't the answer for that. I dunno, when it's time then I will pop something good.

All that being said I think RAD is best for recomp. I think you can eat a fairly significant surplus and gain Mass and get leaner, just like Chris said. I ate like a pig and stayed about the same body fat but I had Cardarine going as well which is a a good combo but you're going to crave carbs like crazy. I will go with that combo in the new year again.

I agree. My intentions were to bulk, but it seems I'm recomping now...after the initial quick weight gain. Cardarine is one I will be staying away from, but I really like the RAD & Osta together. So, it will make its appearance again in the future for me.
Now I want to run some rad
I think you would enjoy it!!

All 3 would be awesome for recomp
She has an existing brain tumor that is dormant and based on some of the research I've read carderine would be the worst idea possible. I definitely will never have her on carderine just for that fact. I love carderine, I use it more than I should for bp control but I have no preexisting conditions that might be effected negatively by carderine.

THIS!! I'm really not trying to wake that thing back up. I've also had cancer on my cervix already. With my predisposition to cancer on my cervix & with my brain tumor, Cardarine is just not something I'm willing to take a chance on. It's still not known if it does/can have the same implications in humans as it did in the rodent studies, but since I know I have those preexisting conditions I am not willing to be the guinea pig.

You don't need to cut, just recomp and maintain the size you are currently pretty happy with. Pheraplex adds water but it goes away after. Diet would dictate the results regarding leaning up. Sou you could expect to see some weight gain while on, but when the water dropped you would probably be close to the same weight and noticeably leaner.
LOL Cycle ADHD!Now I want to run some rad
Nice work and you those veins!

You have some solid points there. I believe it pulls water into the muscle much like superdrol and I didn't really bloat off sd so I think I could pull off a good clean recomp with that pplex and tren. Thanks MrKleen73, you fixed my adhd!

Maybe, I have quite a stash right now of pre-workouts. Looks good though, it's funny how mixing certain ingredients we can enhance them because the are synergistic. A lesson we've had to learn because of some of the stronger stuff has been taken away from us. Now it's all about how you combine your ingredients.

Agreed. And a lot of companies haven't quite figured this out yet.
