First cycle: Questions and Log

Hey guys, so ive been reading up on prohormones and decided to go with XI-KT by iron legion for my summer cut/recomp. I have been lifting for 3 years, two seriously with proper diet. My goal is to shed bf % and obviously keeping muscle. I only have a couple questions that I tried to find answered on here but to no avail. I plan on taking XI-KT for 6 weeks at 1.5ml. It's my first PH cycle so I definately want something mild and the fact it is easy on the liver by being transdermal is appealing.
Ok, so onto the questions. 1.) I don't plan on taking oncycle support because it's so mild, should I? 2.) as for pct I plan on taking DAA by Primaforce and Formeron by Black Lion...should I be worried about two transdermals, one right after another? 3.) Should I keep my diet at maintenance and view results before I drop them or continue at my deficit? 4.) Can I enhance the XI-KT effectiveness by wrapping where I applied? 5.) I read to use my forearms to apply and not my hands, any truth to this?
Stats: 5'10, 185lb, bf%=15 (skin fold test)
Lifts: Deadlift: 280x3, Squat: 240x3 Bench 210x3 Military Press seated 140x3.
If you guys are interested I can post my diet and workout that i'll be following but won't waste the effort if no one wants to read it. Lastly I'll try to post pictures if I can find my camera (my phone camera is broken).
If get good advice here and decide to follow through I'll be trying to keep a weekly log for those who are interested. Any questions are encouraged in case I left anything out. Thanks guys.
 
OP here are some answers:

1.) I don't plan on taking oncycle support because it's so mild, should I?
- you will be fine. I don't change much on cycles in the first place. unless i start getting BP issues or Im on a long/strong oral cycle. For XI-KT just eat healthy and take your normal supplements and vitamins.

2.) as for pct I plan on taking DAA by Primaforce and Formeron by Black Lion...should I be worried about two transdermals, one right after another?
- nope - all good. I doubt you will even need this much for PCT.

3.) Should I keep my diet at maintenance and view results before I drop them or continue at my deficit?
- this is up to you. At maint you will see more of a recomp. both can be great, all depends where you want to end up.

4.) Can I enhance the XI-KT effectiveness by wrapping where I applied?
- not sure about this honestly. Its not something I would bother with honestly. It dries pretty quickly. The only time I have seen this was with Joint Spray from Epharm. But I think there is quite a difference because it has a localized effect where as XI-KT uses the skin as a giant time releasing buffer, location doesn't matter.

5.) I read to use my forearms to apply and not my hands, any truth to this?
- yes. the skin on your hands is much thicker and rougher and won't absorb as much. The inner forearms is thin skin and usually pretty vascular. If you rub it in, you will get some on your hand anyway, just rub as much off on other areas as possible.
 
thanks for the info. I'm most worried about pct and possible side effects like a possible cortisol rebound or lost gains bc i'm new to this. I had a couple more questions if you don't mind or for anyone else can answer them. I have been taking caffeine and green tea extract to help with the cut. Should I discontinue it while on XI-KT? I will continue to take my fish oil and multi (Orange triad). Also I read that cortisol levels are highest in the morning so I should do it then? And I ordered two bottles today so I will post here if anything else comes up or if you want updates.

If you're worried about cortisol, pick up some reduce Xt. No more worries :)
 
In a non dickish way, you might read a few stickies OP.
 
you're not being dickish at all. you're right. That's why they're stickied. Since im painfully new to this site, when I first saw the forum I didn't see any of the stickies..can you link me or say where they are?
