We'll I just started a 5 week cycle with Chaparral Labs Epi (120x10mg caps) and PES Alpha T-2 (90 caps).
wk 1-3: 3 x Epi & 2-3 x T2
wk 4-5: 4 x Epi & 3 x T2
I'll report the results later on.
Starting from 238 lbs (108kg). Aim is to lose 18 lbs (8kg) in 5 weeks without loosing muscles.
Lifting weights on 5-6 days a week and I'm on low carb diet.
Hello again. I'm back for the results as I promised. I think it's important and useful to share experiences with PH's... I hope this is useful for someone...
So. I started taking EPI and Alphta T-2 from the beginning of year 2012. This was 5 week cycle as I described earlier.
Then I had about 5 week PCT cycle (weeks 6-10) I was taking Chaparral Labs ATD, Anabolic Extreme Lean FX and CE PCT Assist (servings just like the directions in each of the bottle suggested).
Now it's been ~1,5 weeks after PCT and feeling is good.
I did weight training 5 days a week and not much cardio.
I used alcohol (got drunk) once during the EPI cycle (on wk3) and twice during the PCT (wk 8 and 9). I know I should not use alcohol during PH cycle nor during PCT but it's hard to avoid and resist sometimes... good parties, friends, free booze... u know..
Oh.. and a week before and during the EPI cycle I used MRM Liver-X (incl. NAC and Milk Thistle etc.) to help out my dear liver because Epi is (slightly) liver toxic.
Some results:
Before the EPI cycle:
- Body weight 238 lbs (108kg). BF uknown.
- Bench press 1x300lbs (135kg), 4x265lbs (120kg).
- Deep squats 10x243lbs (110kg).
After the EPI cycle
Body weight 238 lbs (108kg). BF unknown.
- Bench press 1x342lbs (155kg)!!!, 4x308lbs (140kg)!!!, 7x287lbs (130kg)!!!, 10x265lbs (120kg)!!! JUST AMAZING!
- Deep squats 10x265lbs (120kg)
1 week after PCT (on wk11).
Body weight 238 lbs (108kg). BF unknown.
- Bench press 1x331lbs (150kg), 3x308lbs (140kg), 5x287lbs (130kg), 8x265lbs (120kg).
- Deep squats 10x265lbs (120kg)
So at the end I kept my gaining very well. My bench press went up from 300lbs to 342lbs and at the end I was able to keep it in 331lbs. In squats I went only from 10x243lbs to 10x265lbs but I kept it all.
I didn't lose any weight (as I planned) but I gained strength and muscle pretty well and my BF has gone down, I don't know how much exactly but quite a lot and it's clearly visible from the mirror.
EPI Pros:
- Good strength gains
- Lean muscle gain without water bloat
- I was able to burn fat while gaining muscle at the same time
- Mood was normal
- More focused in the Gym
- Muscle Pumps (also in cons...)
- Libido was normal
- I was able to keep my gains very well by using only OTC PCT.
- No gyno effects nor hair loss or any other negative side effects.
EPI Cons:
- Lower back pain (aka. back pump) at the end (weeks 4-5).
- Sometimes too much muscle pump. I don't recommend NO2 pre-workout supplements (like jack3d) while on EPI cycle because TOO MUCH muscle pump is not good.
I would recommend Chaparral Labs EPI if you are looking moderate strength and lean gains without too much side affects. I know there is much more potent PH's but those come with more negative sides as well. Chaparral Labs has the best value for money (120 caps vs 90 caps) and it seems 100 % legit stuff to me. I have used IBE Epistane before but the gains were actually better with Chaparral Labs but this might be only because I might have been training a bit harder during Chaparral Labs EPI cycle than during IBE Epistane cycle... and off course the cycles were different (120 vs 90 caps)
And about PES Alpha T-2...
Alpha T-2 probably did nothing here. I would not recommend Alpha T-2. I have tried it now twice, with and without EPI and I'm very sure it does NOTHING. It's totally useless to put this stuff in your system since the effect is 0 or at the most very minimal.
