Rad 140 Recomp

Hey all, hoping to share my experience with RAD and see how it compares to what anyone else has experienced.

So I started RAD 140 after a 2 week vacation / work obligation in which I gained about 5lbs of fat. I wasn't working out and I was barely getting any steps in, **** happens.

Prior to the trip I was maintaining my weight at 3200 calories a day with 2-3 cheat meals. Likely averaged out to 3500-3600 calories per day.

I started RAD 140 at 20mg and have been on it for 10 days. Calories set to 2800 which should net a little over 1lb of weight loss per week, but I'm now 2lbs heavier. I haven't cheated once and have weighed everything that I've eaten minus a small salad when I went out for dinner once.

I know recomp is possible with RAD but gaining 2lbs seems off. Is there an initial water weight gain from this compound?

One thing to note is that I do feel like I've slightly leaned out. When I came back from my trip I lost all ab definition and that has gone back to what it was prior to the trip when I was 5lbs lighter.

Interested in what people have to say.
 
Proabably just glycogen. If your in a deficit you will lose fat. So don't worry about it no type of sarm or steroid would make you fatter. They will prevent muscle loss and even allow you to gain muscle in a slight deficit.

I figured as much about the fatter bit. My initial thought was that to add 2lbs and look the way I did when I was 5lbs lighter means I would have had to add 7lbs of lean mass. Which would be awesome but lets be real.

Glycogen makes way more sense. That paired with maybe dropping a couple lbs of fat over the last week and a half of cutting.

This is my first time cutting on any type of anabolic. I'm used to the 5lb weight drop the first week (mostly water) but it was strange to see it go up.
 
Yeah your muscles fill up with fluids basically. It's why you always look a little better on gear. I'm a fan of rad myself. Once you get lean it gives your muscles a full sense look.

That's the goal. I've been between 18-22% BF for awhile. Heard this was a good cutting aid so hoping I can get to 13-15 by the end of the 3 months.

Out of curiosity what dose did you use? I started with 20mg's and so far no negative sides. Maybe a little bit of body temp increase but that might just be it getting hotter. I've read that going up to 30mg's doesnt provide much benefit over 20mg.

Also going to add in 4 andro cream at the start of week 2-3 depending on how I feel to avoid suppression if that matters.
 
It's not a good cutting aid, it's not a bad one either. Sarms and steroids don't cut fat with the exception of tren and anavar.

Your diet makes the difference. You are what you eat. Also on rad for 3 months you will eventually have no testosterone or estrogen in your body and there's a good possibility you can say goodbye to your sex drive, gonna feel like crap, tired, limp noodle, all the typical low hormone problems

the 4 andro should help with the suppression issue. It’s helped before when I’ve used Ostarine.
