Testolone RAD140

I used a capped product a long time ago, took 15mg twice a day. Strength gains were surprisingly minimal, but I put on about 15 pounds of body weight, no noticeable difference in body fat. Held on to 10-12 I think even with just an OTC PCT. It had a weirdly stimulating effect, I had to cut back on preworkout because my regular dosing was making me jittery and I had trouble sleeping when I dosed at night. Moved my second dose earlier in the afternoon and stopped having much issue with that. I’m using a liquid version now, 20mg all at once. Not noticing the same stimulating effect, but it may still be having a small effect on my sleep. Hard to tell, I started taking it around the same time we got a second dog. I haven’t had a chance to weigh myself, but the strength gains have been fantastic this time around.

sounds promising. thank you for sharing. i’m currently on a prescribed low dose of test. in your opinion, would there be any need for pct?
 
Oh yeah I definitely would. It’s an anabolic and androgenic compound. I wouldn’t even do an OTC one anymore, I was dumber back then. Even something like ostarine, which is even milder than Rad, showed suppression at clinical doses. Something like 3mg or so caused minor suppression in test subjects.
 
It was ok but caused a ton of shedding. Would not use it again personally but everyone is different

oh man. that was one of my concerns as well. i’m 45 and still have a decent amount of hair. but feel like i’m one shedding event away from baldness lol. which would only uglify myself further lol.

If your on testosterone then no pct for anything. I think oral rad at 15-20mg a day is a great add on to your trt. I got a very small but steady increase in strength, not much weight gain but that's a diet thing. But it makes me feel really good. Mentally stimulating, positive aggression. A great little boost over trt. I have not tried injectable rad 140 but I'm told it's far stronger then the oral for strength gains

did you have liquid, tablets, or powder?

I used liquid and capsules before. If the product is actually rad 140 and dosed properly there is zero difference between raw powder, liquid and capsule or tablet. The tablet is just the raw powder compacted, the capsule is just a cap filled with the raw powder, and the liquid is the raw powder put into liquid solution. None of them have any benefit over the others

I noticed some shedding too but weirdly it stopped immediately after discontinuing and I almost feel like whatever little bit did shed grew right back. I don't feel like it had any lasting effects on my hairline

Lol that was probably me that said that about rad 140 inject. It treats me great. About to start some injectable yk to compare.

I've had probably 5 or 6 ppl tell me they liked the injectable rad way better and seen quite a few ppl on here say it 2. I do think you were one of them

I didn't understand how you can say they are all equals or don't have benefits over one another, each state a chemical is in has it's own pros and cons. Tabs and caps are oral only requiring more frequent dosing and possibly carrying more sides like bp, appetite issues, and heart/liver issues from the spikes in levels. Some tabs and caps can have added chemicals to alter bioavailability and absorption rate possibly having a significant benefit for some people.

Raws can be used transdermal or I'm/SQ providing numerous benefits like sustained release and steady levels with less spikes. I'm having a hard time understanding what you mean by that statement.

Oral rad 140 in raw powder, capsule, tablet or liquid form are all exactly the same, if there's some kind of chemical added like you mentioned then that would not be the same because something was added, TD is not oral, that usually increases bioavailability, again that's not the same.

If you take raw powder and press it into a tablet, fill it in a capsule or suspend it in liquid it's all still just the raw powder and exactly the same
 
I said nothing about changing the chemical, I said nothing about transdermal and I said nothing about injectable in that statement. In fact at the bottom of my first post I said it's stronger in injectable form

I must have misunderstood or I'm just tired, my bad.

I was strictly talking about how it's sold as a capsule, tablet or liquid oral. And the reason I wanted to make a point of it was because that dip **** Dylan Gemili was trying to tell ppl back in the day that only the liquid oral form was real or worked and that the capsules or tablets didn't work which makes zero sense. It was his marketing scheme to make ppl buy his product that he was selling at 5x the cost and some ppl out there still believe that.

Making raws into a transdermal preparation (if the molecular weight can hold) will usually increase the bioavailability. And making it intramuscular will make things like 99% bioavailability. But in my opinion there's another difference between oral and injection even when bioavailability is equal.

I've used injectable lgd and it acts like a completely different compound then oral lgd. Injectable is stronger mg vs. mg, but it also has a cosmetic effects too. I can take 20mg oral daily and not gain much in terms of strength and I don't notice much in the shape of muscles changing, they just get slightly bigger. But Injectable I get about double the strength gains and I can see a cosmetic effect in that muscles take on a more rounded fuller look. Almost like dbol, obviously not as strong as dbol but a dumb down version. In reality they shouldn't have different effects

So many people report this and say it was worse than any other compound. As a sarm, it's not really suppose to cause these sort of sides. I have a theory that rad is binding directly to receptors in the scalp similar to how s4 binds to ocular receptors

Could be something like that, sarms just are not selective like they were thought to be. Especially at the doses used to build noticable muscle.

We want steroid type gains and we get steroid like side effects at the doses required to get those gains.

We're always looking for that free lunch but we never quite get it
 
looks like shedding can be expected and that sucks.

what about mk677? is it similar in effects?
 
I've Run rad140 a few times and I have to agree that it definitely disrupts your sleep pattern. I had to stop taking because of the shedding I don't want to lose my hair over a few pounds of muscle which normally goes anyway after you stopped using rad140. I honestly believe those gains aren't keepable even with a pct. But hey that's just me everyone is different!
No steroid, sarm or anything for that matter has more keepable gains than another compound. Muscle is muscle. If your gains dissapear fast after stopping a cycle or discontinuing a particular compound then it wasn't gains "muscle" it was water or glycogen and minerals in the muscle making it appear larger.

If you built x amounts of muscle on tren or dbol or rad or anything it's all exactly the same. Muscle is muscle

Mk677 is completely different, it boosts your own production of gh, it's not a sarm.

Typically I'd say mk is good for increasing your appetite, it adds on water weight for a lot of ppl and it's hit or miss on weather or not it improves or disrupts sleep.
 
unless you like a Moon Face, that's what I got with mk677 bloating. But remember the strength gains were incredible tho.
Did you gain a bunch of weight really fast, the ppl I see that bloat up on it get a big boost in strength. I don't really get anything out of it, but I've definitely seen ppl put on 10+ lbs of water weight in a week and get that strength boost

thanks guys. i don’t want the bloat. i already tend to retain water easily without any help.

Lgd 4033 is my favorite sarm, I get zero side effects from 20-30mg a day and the gains are similar to a low dose of the weaker oral steroids.

I like injectable lgd better, again zero sides up to 30mg a day. Better strength and size then the oral version.

Just because I like it and I don't get any side effects from it doesn't mean that you're going to have the same response though, just keep that in mind

oh definitely. i understand. it’s ultimately my choice and my body may not react the same.

i just really appreciate the honesty in sharing the experiences.

I tried most of the sarms when they first came out. Lgd is the main one I find useful with a very low risk and moderate reward.
 
Yeah definitely weight shot up really fast. But I stopped taking when a few guys at work were questioning why I was breathing heavily while seated in a chair. I was always lethargic when I was on mk677 but yeah I was throwing around heavy weights with ease and my joints never felt better. but the water weight ain't no joke I had this moon face which made me look way older in a negative way lol.
That sounds about right lol, one of the reasons powerlifters like to let there estrogen go sky high is because all that bloat and water wight helps them move more weight in the gym. Even tho I would say mk doesn't really do much to build muscle, if your getting a lot of water and in turn pushing bigger weights around it's going to help build more muscle in the long term.
 
mk 677 at nigh 10 mg did not give me lethargy during the day. I got better recovery and endurance from it
 
I am on MK now, 20mg/day all at once. I ran this years ago as well, never took more than 20mg a day. If I take it too close to bed it does disrupt my sleep BUT if I take it about 5 hours before bed it does not. In fact I get really good sleep and if I get less sleep or have stressful weeks I seem to have energy all day. I’m on Week five now, although I’ve read it takes a while too work I seem to sleep better and have better energy/awareness during the day from the onset.

I never had any bloat, you can always start with less and work up
 
I like MK677. I found it helped me bulk from increased appetite and like others have said the joints felt better. Don't think I'll bother with Sarms anymore as at decent dosages sides similar to AAS are present.
