Epistane 4 week log

[MH8219]

I'm currently on my 7th day of an epistane cycle and decided I would post my progress for the remaining 3 weeks. I'll keep this log as simple as I can and just post weight gain, and how I'm feeling during the cycle.

The cycle looks like this 30/30/40/40
common supports are in place. I won't type them all.

PCT
Toremifene /120 first 3 days 90 4 days/60/60/30/.
Still deciding on a cortisol control supp.
continue support supps


Height: 5' 8"
Starting weight: 183lbs at beginning. Currently: 185lbs
Diet: 3000+ cals

Any suggestions on my PCT would be appreciated since this will be the first time trying out toremifene.

Day 8: (I'll check weight on Day 14)

I worked chest today. It was a good workout, but usually my chest workouts are pretty good. There's not a whole lot to report today, I'm just making sure I keep up with this log. I'll probably report again on thursday or friday when I have more to log,

BTW, my split goes

Monday: Chest
Tuesday: Back
Wednesday: Rest
Thursday: Shoulders, Triceps
Friday: Legs, Biceps

Day 12:

So far so good. My workouts have been really good this week. I usually go pretty intense and feel a bit wiped out afterwards, but after my last two workouts I've felt a lot less fatigued. I've been feeling good all week, my body feels healthy. (I was a little tired last week saturday and sunday) I have noticed my libido is lower, but not gone, and just a couple tiny pimples on my chest, probably not worth mentioning.

I'll post my weight on sunday (day 14)

2 pounds in first 7 days doesn't sound like your diet is good enough.. make sure ur getting TONS of protein and filling the rest in with good fats and plenty of carbs

i my first epi cycle ever 20/30/40/40 and got 5-7 the first week easy(and thats 10mg less than ur using). 22lbs over the 4 weeks

if u have any questions just ask

^juicedup not everyone gains that much on Epi lol... it didn't add any weight to me (well 5 lbs of bloat from all my eating). Some people also respond to it in a fashion where the anti-estrogenic nature is very pronounced and the drying out effect makes the weight gain seem lower. So it's not necessarily the diet.

got it man. i just thought the beginning of the cycle was atleast 3-5lbs of cheap gains off adding a bunch of food.

 

[MH8219]

Juiced, that's a pretty impressive gain. I've been keeping a really clean diet with cals around 3700 or so most of the time (perhaps that is kind of low), but I'll increase the cals to the 4000+ range for my remaining cycle and see what happens, thanks for the input.

Day 14: morning weigh in: 186

up 1 more pound, 3 total. I start 40mgs tommorow, I think weight gains will be a little more dramatic the next two weeks, I've lost a lot of water these first two weeks and still managed 3 pounds so I'm not dissapointed, can't wait for my monday workout.

 

[MH8219]

Day 20:
Weight: 188lbs

Up 5 pounds total so far, pretty modest so far but, it pushed me through my plateau. I think 40mgs is a good spot for me. My workouts have been very good, great pumps and I have felt stong. I should be able to get my body weight to 190+ by the end of this cycle. My libido is actually pretty decent too, BP is also fine. The only problem is being tired the last 2 days, I feel great at night though so who knows?

 

[Markusrulezzz]

I did epi like

20/20/30/30/30/40

Gained around 12 pounds, kept 8 pounds....

 

[ana420]

Awesome. Now that it's a month later, how much mass and strengthdid you maintain?

o its been about a year since my epi cycle.. but if i remember i kept getting strength increases throughout pct and was able to keep almost all of them.

you dont EXPLODE up with epi.. so i think its easier to maintain

Considering how THE ONE works, I'm thinking more and more about that EPI/P-Plex bridge with a couple weeks of the ONE following up, bridging into PCT. A hell, I might go with EPI/ Mdrol dridge and follow up with the ONE.

PCT is set! Second gear, milk thistle, Nolva 40/40/30/20/10, after that a week or to of inhibit-E. T-force, MACA, trib, DHEA (before during and after) PCT revolution.

Day 25:

I just wanted to add one more short update before my last post and weigh in on
day 28.
So far all workouts this week have been really good. I like how I get a pump so fast. I still get a little tired now and then which kind of sucks, but when I get in the gym and get going I feel great. Libido is quite a bit lower now, and I didn't checked BP in a couple days so I don't know about that. I don't think I've added much fat, my phisique looks tighter, and actually my abs are a little sharper, could be from the water I've gotten rid of. I'll finish up the rest of this log sunday and post my final weight and thoughts.

I was looking through my workout log, and strength has increased quite a bit over the 4 weeks, I'm doing 14 more chins in the same amount of Sets (3), Bench press up 20 pounds with same amount of Reps(6), squats up 25 with same amount of Reps(6).

 

[MH8219]

Final Day:

Weight 189lbs. 6 pounds total in 28 days.

Not too bad, considering I really didn't gain much fat, and lost some water weight. My strength increased week to week, and quite a bit total. My weight gain was not that dramatic compared to what I've seen others gain, but I'll take it. There shouldn't be a problem maintaining the 6 pounds i did gain.
All in all a really mild cycle,
Sides were: felt tired few days, and libido was lowered.
Positive: Strength was up, and lean mass gains, good gym intensity.

I don't know what more to add, other than thanks for reading this log.

 

[phL8Tme]

Kudos!

Just a quick post on my PCT:

I lowered my toremifene to 90/60/30/30. PCT is a breeze; I'm almost finished with my 3rd week. I've also gained a pound, and actually look better in the mirror than I did at the end of my cycle. Pretty decent complete cycle.
