i have been searching the forums for epi/11-oxo stacks and could not find them. i am not above doing research, please point me in the right direction.
Well here is my philosophy...
Epi is pretty strong, you should get pretty awesome gains in 6 weeks, some people have 10-20 pounds in that time frame if you eat enough, by 6 weeks you gains from a strong oral will stall out, you'll reach a point where the pounds just wont really come on anymore
Then you bridge into 11-oxo, possible the weakest of all orals available, and really only lowers cortisol unless your run very very high doses, like 1 gram a day, then maybe it is slighlty anabolic, but I have yet to see 1 person actually gain any significant weight on 11-oxo as it is best for keeping cortisol while cutting.
Well if you do bridge into the 11-oxo think about this, after 6 weeks you are shut down and your gains have been stalled, you introduce 11-oxo while shutdown, have 0 anabolic effects, and delay PCT and your recovery, then you start PCT week 11 after not using HCG, this could be a tuff recovery especially after a strong oral like Epi that adds pounds on pretty quick
I mean, if you are ok with going 10 weeks on orals, then I suggest you switch out the 11-oxo for something that will actually continue the gains
Run them both at the same time if you want to maximize effects, then jump into an aggresive PCT on week 7 to keep as much of those gains as possible
