My question is I have been cutting to this point and have a vacation coming in July. Should I eat at maintenance or surplus? I have searched but seem to get conflicting opinions. I'm looking more for a recomp. I have been eating at a deficit for the past 4 months (-500) now. I have read that it is pretty pointless to eat at a deficit while taking any PH/DS.
Also what would you say is the best supplement for joints? I know stacking stano and epi can be hard on the joints. Been on these forums for years and you guys seem to be the most knowledgeable about these things just never really posted until now lol. Any advice would be greatly appreciated and will give out rep to those who help.

Antaeus Achilles is good for joints.

It's not pointless to eat at deficit while on. Steroids will help you to preserve that hard earned muscle mass while losing fat. You just have to figure out what your goal exactly is.

Thanks for the quick response brochacho! I want to gain a little bit of size, just not fat. Pretty much a recomp. Just need to know if I should eat at maintenance or surplus I guess lol.

You may want to consider upping the doses for both epi and stano.

Even with it being my first PH/DS and my weight? Thought about doing higher doses, but I wanted to play it safe.

I'd probably run Epi at 30/40/40/50/50/50 and Stano at 800mg/day. Start Stano a week before Epi, it's enough for it to kick in.

I like epi in the 30-40 mg range but the stano is a bit low. But yes that combo will have your joints on fire.

How about this?

Stano @ 600/800/800/800/800/800/800
Epi@ 0/30/30/40/40/50/50

Epi@ 0/30/30/40/40/50/50

Looks good to me!

How about calorie intake? Maintenance or Surplus? Thanks in advance!

Don't want to derail the thread but does Stano require an on cycle AI?

No Stano does not if you were to run it solo. Neither does Epistane.
