Unreal, Why PPlex over anything else?
Just my personal experience... I found epi to be a good hardener but worthless for mass and strength, Hdrol almost too weak to be practical, and tren to not be worth the sides.
PP is a steroid with no weaknesses as far as I am concerned. It provides mass, it provides strength, it's "safer" than SD in terms of toxicity and the rate of bad sides like libido loss and gyno. The only side i got from it were a couple backpumps the first time I ran it, none the second time I ran it (at higher dose) [edit: started getting nip sensitivity towards the end of 2nd PP cycle when at 50mg, but it was mild, and went away when i stopped taking it]. Personally i feel that the bloat associated with PP is due entirely to diet, that's my experience, I first bulked with it and gained a decent amount of size and strength, weak compared to SD but good compared to all the other steroids I've tried. And I have also used PP on a recomp, where the strength and size gains were very marginal, but in the mirror I could tell I made good progress, and that was the goal of my recomp anyway.
A lot of people report a feeling of well-being on PP, a good alpha-feeling. One member here described it as manliness in a bottle. LOL. I don't love PP as much as SD, but of all the steroids I've tried, it gets my #2 spot.
I think the best way to run PP is in excess of 4 weeks. A 5 week run with moderate doses in the 20mg range and working into the 30mg range is really ideal for someone's 2nd cycle or so when they're looking for a sure way to gain some mass.
