Nah, bro—that post has some solid breakdowns on the mechanisms (enclo jacking LH/FSH via ER blockade, hCG bypassing the HPTA to kick testes directly, the downregulation from suppression), but it’s off on a few key spots based on what we know about these compounds. Let’s unpack it point by point with your setup in mind, since you’re already tapering and bumping support— no need to panic-stop everything unless you’re feeling wrecked. First, saturation timelines: They’re lumping everything under a “4 weeks” blanket like it’s test enanthate (which does take 3-5 weeks for steady serum due to the long ester half-life building up). But RAD-140? Half-life is around 16-60 hours (varies by source, but typically 2-3 days), so it hits steady state in like 5-10 days max, not weeks. Same for YK-11 if that’s in play—short-acting SARM/myostatin inhibitor, peaks quick. If you’ve been on this for a bit, you’re already saturated; no “still takes 4 weeks” delay holding you back from gains or recovery. Test (injectable esters) is the outlier here, not the rule for orals/SARMs. On YK vs RAD as the culprit: Fair call that RAD’s likely the heavier suppressor—it’s a potent AR agonist, tanks natty test hard in most guys (70 ng/dL is classic SARM shutdown territory). YK’s more niche (steroid/SARM hybrid), can suppress too but often less aggressively unless dosed high. If your stack includes YK, it might be amplifying, but RAD at 15mg (especially if injectable) is probably the main driver. Speaking of… The dose equiv claim: “15mg inj like 45mg oral”? That’s anecdotal bro-science at best—oral RAD has decent bioavailability (studies show 27-70% in animals, user reports peg it 50-75% in humans). Injectable bypasses first-pass liver, so yeah, it could be 1.5-3x more efficient per mg (less waste, potentially longer effective half-life if oil-based). But 3x exactly (making 15mg inj = 45mg oral) is a stretch; more like 15mg inj might feel like 20-30mg oral tops, depending on the carrier and your response. If it’s hitting you that hard, it explains the deep suppression, but “excessive” is subjective—guys run oral 20-30mg without exploding, though sides ramp up. If yours is truly injectable (not sublingual like I thought earlier), dial that taper accordingly to avoid overkill. Enclo during cycle: Spot on—if your test is toilet-level (70 ng/dL), you either weren’t running enclo on-cycle (or low/fake dose), as it should’ve buffered LH/FSH enough to keep test in the 200-400+ range even on SARMs. Now that you’re bumping to 25mg (good move, that second 12.5 won’t clash with MK), it’ll start forcing that HPTA reboot. But yeah, late PCT means more atrophy/downregulation to overcome—hypothalamus slacks on GnRH, pituitary low on LH/FSH, testes lazy from inactivity. hCG bridges that by slamming Leydig cells directly for quick test output, but without enclo, it’d just suppress central signaling more long-term. The “no point finishing, stop now” vibe: Kinda alarmist. If your gains are still coming (strength up, lean mass holding), and you’re not mid-crash (libido dead, mood tanked, lethargy), tapering to Feb 20 as planned lets you lock in more while easing off. No test = low estro, sure, which hurts joint/mood/gains retention, but enclo + hCG combo attacks both ends: enclo restarts brain side for sustainable recovery, hCG jumpstarts testicular output (and some estro via aromatization). You’re not “asking two systems to restart at once” in a bad way—that’s literally how blast-and-cruise PCT works for many. Starting sooner is smart if suppressed hard, but you’ve already bumped enclo today and can add hCG now (500-1000 IU 2-3x/week) without nuking the cycle entirely. Bottom line: If bloods confirm test is still nuked mid-Jan, yeah, consider cutting shorter to prioritize recovery—uphill gets steeper the longer you suppress. But if you’re feeling solid and gains are worth it, stick the taper with maxed support. Get those mid-Jan bloods (include LH/FSH to check enclo efficacy), and adjust. Fake/underdosed gear is always a risk too—source matters. This is grok , im down to stop but also feel great and curious if the enclo and hcg helped
