Bad **** man, you'll be hitting 3 plates on bench pretty soon.
Thanks a lot brother!! I hope that day comes soonBad **** man, you'll be hitting 3 plates on bench pretty soon.
Kudos on the 295, man! Really awesome![]()
Thanks man! I'd recommend this cycle for sure. Its been a blastdamn bro this cycle has success written all over it.
gratz on the pr's man!
and 15lbs off epi. thats amazing bro, you killed it forsure. my man.![]()
So 45-60mg is the sweet spot on this EPI-Strong?
Thanks a lot KK. I know my diet had a lot to do with my successDiet has been on freakin point the whole time. Every day you tracking it was awesome man.
I would attribute the increased amount in fish oil to your reduced joint pain. I'm skeptical that Glucosamine and MSM would have had any significant contribution in such a short period time. Very impressive log, nice job.Thanks a lot KK. I know my diet had a lot to do with my success![]()
Thanks Choc! I Have a little more than a week left on cycle, then hitting PCTGood job Rock! What's the plan now, when you heading into PCT?
That's a sh*t load of weight you put on with Epi... that's awesome.
If it treats you THAT good I wouldn't even bother going up to stronger compounds just yet. No point if Epi which is mild for sides is treating you this good.

I don't know why gains stop...
Building muscle cannot be as simple as take a steroid and keep gaining. Obviously gains slow down to the point of even stopping later in the cycle. It seems like a natural healthy body has all the right chemistry to build muscle and just needs a strong androgen to start it. However, deeper into the cycle, maybe you've used up the resources that indirectly build muscle by shutting the testicles down.
I mean if you shut down testicular function, this must affect the body in multiple ways directly and indirectly.
I was thinking with non-aromatizing steroids like Epi, your estrogen gets pretty low. And for people who are on a test cycle, they say taking an AI, which reduces estrogen also reduces gains.
So if taking an AI will reduce gains, then taking Epi, which also brings your estrogen levels down should affect your gains over time. Estrogen I hear is useful to building muscle when in a good ratio to testosterone. So shut it off, and maybe this hinders gains?
Could also be receptors.
Could be loss of testicular function.
I don't know.
I've heard a lot of people say cycles with a Test base are ALWAYS better. So I would say yes.CM, you think cycles that don't aromatize are better off if you're using something like Dermacrine or M1-D?
Thanks man. Just a dime away from 3 plates feels goodDamn good job on breaking the 300 hundred mark on bench. Anxious to see how Epi-Strong treated u in the mirror.
Yeh man killin it 2 the end!!!Can't wait to see them pictures bud, and make these last 4 days count for sure!

Starting weight: 175
Ending weight: 191 (+16)
THE CYCLE: Epi-Strong ran at 30/45/45/60/60/60
DIET: Diet was kept in excess of 4k cals every day except the last week, when it was cut back to around 3800. Protein was at 350-400g daily. Carbs were around 300-350 and fat was between 100-150.
MUSCLE: Epi-Strong was an EXCELLENT compound to pack on the muscle mass for me. I had muscle hardness almost immediately and the weight came on pretty quick as well. I was up 5 lbs after a week, 8.5 after 2 weeks, 12.5 after 3 weeks, and 14 lbs. after 4 weeks. After 4 weeks everything started slowing down and only gained a couple more lbs. over the last 2 weeks. The only measurement I took was arm size. I started right at 16" arms and blew them up to 16.75":sgrin:
STRENGTH: Strength gains were AWESOME on Epi-Strong and way better than I expected. I was repping 225 on flat bench at the beginning of my cycle for 4-5 reps and maxing out at 265. At the end of cycle I was repping 225 10-12 times and hit a new Bench PR of 305:sgrin:
SIDES: Sides were "almost" non-existant for the duration of the cycle. I had zero libido issues, zero BP issues other than I did have a couple spuratic migraines but I don't know if they were BP related. I had zero lethargy issues. The only things that I can think of that were sides were that about 3-4 weeks in you will notice your joints drying out due to lower estrogen and they WILL hurt. When that happened I did increase fishoil up to 9g and added in MSM and Glucosamine for the joints. This did help tremendously and did not hinder any workouts, but I could still tell it was there. I also got some acne at the beginning of the cycle, but it quickly went away and never returned. Positive sides were appetite increase (eating 4k-4500 cals a day was nothing and still hungry), libido increase (random wood daily and monster loads), and sleeping DEEP and awesome every day(as soon as my head hit the pillow I was out even though I wasn't tired during the day).
SUMMARY:Epi-Strong allowed me to reach a level in my physique and strength that would not be possible in that amount of time without this compound. I reached and surpassed all the goals that I set for the cycle with minimal to zero sides.....so what can I say? I would recommend Epi-Strong to anyone with the knowledge of running a proper cycle along with the right training, diet, and experience.
I WILL run Epi again...:sgrin:
I started this thread with the title "IT's GONNA BE EPIC WITH EPI-STRONG".....
....AND IT WAS!!!!!!:sgrin::sgrin::sgrin::sgrin:

Your back looks f'in great, bro!!! Awesome progress on the back.
I am rounding out damn near the same cycle and I feel like my back has grown leaps and bounds over any other part of my body. Especially the thickness of my back. Its outstanding.
Awesome cycle, bro. Congrats on completing this step with success. Not far behind you.
It has been recommended to me by a few knowledgable people to think about Bridge when PCT ends... I am personally super excited to try this FORMAstanzolol.![]()
