I shut down HARD on my last cycle (which was also epistane) about 8 months ago. I'm open to all opinions, but just saying that in advance in case anyone says this may be a little overkill for an epistane PCT.

Week 1: AM PCT Support…. Nolva 40mg
Week 2: AM PCT Support…. Nolva 30mg…. IBE X-Lean
Week 3: AM PCT Support…. Nolva 20mg…. IBE X-Lean…. Formestane 100mg
Week 4: AM PCT Support…. Nolva 10mg…. IBE X-Lean…. Formestane 100mg
Week 5: Formestane 50mg
Week 6: Formestane 25mg

(Will be taking a multi, fish oil, flax seed, Jack3d, and possibly kre-alkalyn 1500 each day as well)

What week should I add a test-booster? (I have Omega’s T-Force). Should I run PCT support through weeks 5 and 6 with the formestane? I have liv52 for on cycle should I keep taking that as well?

I have read on this forum that formestane should be started week 3…. And I have also read on this forum it should be started week 1… which is correct? Thanks in advance brochotchos!
 
Nolva looks dosed WAY too high. A 20/20/10/10 PCT of Nolva is plenty for Epi. also I would wait on the X-Lean until week 3 if you are going to run a cort. blocker. I don't see the need for the formestane with Epi since it lowers estrogen, but running it wont hurt if you must.
 
Also what did you dose your Epi at and how long?
 
I'm running 20/20/20/30/30/30.

Okay I will lower the dose nolva dose to 20/20/10/10. And yeahh I already bought the formestane so I'm going to go ahead and use it, as you said it can't hurt.

Run the X-Lean for 3 weeks starting week 3 right? And when should I start the test booster?
 
Your PCT support has a test booster in it, and Nolva boosts test so nothing additional is needed
 
Also Epi at 30 won't do much. I wouldn't run 30 past first week, and 20 is pointless. 40-50mg is the sweet spot;)
 
upp'd to 40mg today... i'm in week 3... may have been placebo but had a ****ing awesome chest workout. up to 178 pounds too.. im 5 8... started at 170. might be because of my insane calorie intake im doing but looks pretty lean to me and strength is setting pr's. threw up 90 db's for 10 reps today for the first time on incline :)
 
Enjoy the ride, bro. I felt like a GOD in the gym with epi @ 45mg/day. I did nolva 20/20/10/10 and pct assist afterwards. Everything came back online just fine. I know this b/c i got bloodwork (the only way to know for sure.)

I possibly planning a spring epi cycle and am checking things out early.
Do you mean you did NOT use any natty test booster in PCT but Did use cortisol control and liver detox supps?

Just curious...cause when you mentioned your bloods were accurate you caught my attention cause that PCT looks extremely simple.

Thanks
 
Okay will do. I'm starting to think I'm going to save the formestane for down the road when I take something that aromatizes/more hardcore. Hope it has a long shelf-life.

Just wondering, why isn't it recommended to start an anti-cort immediately after the cycle ends (like nolva)?

And, yes after upping the dose I am feeling like a ******* beast in the gym. I was there for two hours today, and seriously had to make myself leave. Also, it's making me hungrier than a pot head on 420

I did not use cort control, but did use milk thistle. Nolva works great.

Yeh man Epi makes you feel like that! The hunger, the Alpha feeling, and not wanting to leave the gym. I remember that and miss it...enjoy it man its a fun ride!!

As far as the Cortisol control, the reason its not started at the beginning is 2-fold as i understand it. First, corstisol controllers also can cause weight loss by controlling the cortisol (one of the effects). And you don't want weight loss when you just come off cycle and are trying to get your test levels up. secondly, cortisol will not be all that high when entering PCT, but will raise as PCT goes on, and thats when you want to control it.

In a nutshell...You don't want to tank your cortisol levels too early in your PCT, because it induces weight loss, and newly acquired muscle will be harder to keep.
