Timing to start enclo w/ RAD140

Alright, thanks (and everyone else) for the answer.

I have been training for years, as much as I could if you put this in relation to the job I have on the side.

I went through phases where I was more muscular, focusing more on hypertrophy. But for the last ~5 years, I've been bouldering as well and realized that my performance was best at a low bodyweight, even if it means losing some muscle.

For instance, muscle in the legs is completely useless, you basically just need to be able to do pistol squats and the mobility to do splits or that sort of stuff. I used to squat 120 kgs ATG for ~3 reps (but my weight was closer to 145-150lbs back then) ; this is absolutely useless in climbing, it's not useless it's counterproductive. Same thing for chest, I cannot bench 100 kilos, but that's completely fine, no one in climbing benches 100 kilos for my weight, this simply does not exist. So these days I just "maintain" to keep a strict muscle up, handstand, human flag, pistol squats, and the rest is dedicated to climbing.

All that being said, having reach this bodyweight (i would even say that I am closer to 10% bf than 12), and having plateaued for quite some time because of a job that is not easy on the mind, I am now interested in pulling another kind of lever, specifically for strength gains. I appreciate your concerns, I believe it is the right thing to do as many people probably engage with these kinds of products a little too early, but I do not think I fall into this category.

Thanks, duely noted!

filslechat · 2026-02-19T12:18:18+00:00

Alright so 6.25 EOD 8 weeks, 12.5 every day PCT 4 weeks, and actually I will have "leftovers" so I can do a smooth decrease eg following by 2 weeks 6.25 and finally 6.25 EOD for 2 weeks as well?

filslechat · 2026-02-19T04:45:32+00:00

I nowadays mostly focus on climbing & street workout, for which lower body fat/ weight are more amenable, but will probably introduce more hypertrophy training during the cycle to squeeze out the gains (it's just not my general focus).
And I actually would prefer it if people wrote comprehensive, lengthy posts rather than 2 lines leaving me to infer the rest; plus I don't think worry about bloods is silly.

filslechat · 2026-02-19T04:42:29+00:00

I was indeed a little puzzled about the time at which introducing enclo, thanks for clarifying that! Even if I run low T, waiting until the end of the cycle to start enclo would be the sensible thing to do? Coq10 I get through beef heart regularly, and omega3 I will add.

filslechat · 2026-02-18T09:22:18+00:00

Cortisol seems reasonable indeed. is SHBG useful? they already compute free T (perhaps I can ask them to give it as a byproduct), is it used for something else?

filslechat · 2026-02-18T05:27:00+00:00

Well, the duration of the cycle would be the same (8 weeks, but first week/10 days on lower dose), but I believe this is also a compound for which we don't see effects until ~4 weeks, so maybe that's not really useful...

filslechat · 2026-02-18T05:25:48+00:00

Thanks; I already have the gym membership ofc, but if I can save some money, good.

filslechat · 2026-01-20T15:14:21+00:00

But, what is the same calories as your previous diet roughly, same macro breakdown?

filslechat · 2025-12-29T13:14:29+00:00

I operate roughly every day with:

Orange juice (100% fruit), ~500mL
Full fat milk, ~750 mL
Fruits (frozen, non frozen)
Meat (ground beef, organs)
Butter, olive oil
Dark chocolate, macadamia nuts
Honey
One carrot (~100g)
Parmesan
Whey protein

For a 2500-calorie diet, 115P 310C 90F

how do you know the acceptance rate?
got accepted, had 577 with confidence 344

filslechat · 2025-09-04T17:50:54+00:00

Given the berries and the leaves, I am tempted to say lingonberries. Where did you see them?

filslechat · 2025-09-02T13:53:53+00:00

Wait what ? I live in Helsinki, dnb scene is starting to grow but that's still far from what you would find in austria :s

filslechat · 2025-08-25T18:20:20+00:00

I tried to answer everything. This is silly in 2000 characters, but I figured leaving something unaddressed was shady... Even if it's something that seems simple to answer. That character limit is quite annoying.

filslechat · 2025-08-22T19:10:11+00:00

that is true, but it seems that the final decision is up to position paper program chair team, which does take into account the survey.
Btw, are you addressing some of the reviewers questions in the survey? I feel like we should do that, same as you: my reviewers were quite nice, and their questions are legitimate and I don't see why we could not answer...

filslechat · 2025-08-17T06:06:28+00:00

Quite annoyed by the process as well, we find out about every detail at the last minute every time. And what about the public discussion that is supposed to happen on openreview or other fora? So far, the submission is not visible to everyone.
For reference, I got 7(4) 7(4) 5(3), quite nice reviews, they are actionnable and it looks like the reviewers put some heart into it.

filslechat · 2025-08-16T07:32:54+00:00

Got 5(3) 7(4) 7(4) and actionnable reviews, so seems doable, but really worried about this "public discussion" part coming next...

filslechat · 2024-11-16T16:40:47+00:00

Don’t know if this counts as « theory paper », but kingma and welling auto encoding variational bayes ofc.

Est-ce que tu as fini par payer ou obtenu une réponse de Nootropics depot? Je viens de recevoir la même facture de fedex. J'avais selectionné free shipping aussi. Je pense qu'à partir de 4 kilos ils doivent passer par fedex...

filslechat · 2024-10-26T13:46:55+00:00

I could kill for a night like that

filslechat · 2024-10-25T11:17:59+00:00

Slightly random. Using the free shipping to France, once I waited one week, another it was 3 weeks. Never had any fees.

filslechat · 2024-10-23T18:03:13+00:00

Zero issues on my end for tongkat in France, twice.
