1rst epi run

[SoonersSB]

Hi everyone,

Im new to this board but not new to the training world. Just had arthroscopic knee surgery and was planning on running epistane once I am able to train lower body again to get back to where I was before.

Currently sitting at 21 yo, 5'9" at around 205lbs and relatively lean (abs but not shredded). Ive been training for 4 years and this would be my first cycle of any kind.
thinking of running: 20/30/30/30
have nolva on hand and will run : 40/40/20/20 as PCT
Diet is already set.

My question is regarding dosing frequency. I have read that epi has a half life of 6-8hrs. Would 2xdaily be enough or should i push it to 3x daily? any advice is welcome, again this is my first cycle of any kind.

oh and i also take:

milk thistle 600mg daily
Dandelion 2xdaily
Xtreme formulations ICE 40g periworkout
Whey (a lot)
Leucine 20g/day with meals
SuperPump 250
GlucEvol
OptiMen 3x daily
ALCAR 3g prewo
Tyrosine 3g prewo
fish oil 30g/day
greens
ECA 2xday
***will be trying PEAK BETA from Molecular Nutrition during the cycle (thanks MN)
there may be other things but thats the big stuff

Thanks

Sooners

2x a day is fine, but 3x is best. Looks like a good cycle. I would just keep an open mind going into week 4 if your epistane. Maybe bump it up to 40mg, unless 30mg is working well then stay with it. Good luck.

[SoonersSB]

sounds good. would you suggest extending it if staying with 30mg?

Id run the bottle out, I made my best gain in the 1st 4wks but I still gained/repartitioned up til wk 7.(yep I said 7 ) Good luck!

7weeks? youre quite the trooper lol
well see how it goes... im not looking to bulk on this compound just LBM and strength. i cant really get any heavier without switching from slotback to linebacker hahah

[mmowry]

Well Epi is great for strength and works well for bulking or cutting so youll be good to go.
