FINAL REVIEW
My Results vs. Expected Results (found in post #1)
Decrease in bodyfat and improved bedroom performance were definately accomplished with use of Formex. Also on the positive side of things, I unexpectedly had some mild but noticable increase in testicular mass. The most profound positive effect from Formex was increased gym endurance.
On the negative side, I did not experience an expected jump in libido or aggression.
I did not experience a dramatic strength increase, but IMO that goes hand in hand with aggression. So I don't count that as a seperate negative characteristic, just one.
I did not maintain lean mass. But that's my own fault due to lifestyle and diet. I do not blame formex for the slight loss in lean mass.
Sides
Sides were super mild and included impaired sleep patterns and mildly blurred vision. These are common sides for me with AI's and were very mild from Formex.
I sometimes have increased BP with AI's. My BP actually dropped by 3 systolic throughout the log. Keep in mind, I've been consistent with my cardio.
I did NOT have any joint issues with Formex. However, others have reported some stiffness with formestane so that MIGHT be an issue for some.
My Suggested Formex Applications
I believe Formex has the potential to work well in a cut next to an aggressive fatburner such as Meltdown or ephedrine.
I also believe that it would well in a preventive manner on cycle for someone with a suspician of gyno. Unfortunately, I don't think it worked aggressively enough to decrease my mild gyno. At the same time, I'm not confident that ANY otc AI is potent enough to address existing gyno. So that's not a knock on Formex.
Although I'm not a fan of formestane in pct in general, Formex may have the potential to work well as part of a pct that includes a serm (for example, after a more aggressive epi or phera cycle IMO). Others opinions from those who have ran Formex as part of their pct should hold greater influence on this topic.
Finally, I suspect that Formex would make a nice post pct bridge. Especially since I'm one of the morons who had a post pct estrogen rebound.
Comparisons To Other AIs
6oxo (or TD trione) is best suited for aggression, strength, and libido. It is mediocre in terms of fat loss. On the negative side, it's rough on my joints. In my opinion, it is completely unreliable in terms of estrogen control and is a bad choice for pct.
Hyperdrol is a moderately balanced AI in terms of aggression, libido, estrogen control, mild lean mass gains, and moderate fat loss. For whatever reason, this supplement absolutely wrecks my stomach and I can't take it at all. I do prefer aPCT because of the stomach issues.
NovedexXT is a very mediocre supplement in terms of strength gains. I suspect that ATDs are very reliable for estrogen control. However, I can't stand anything that hinders libido. I had shaky libido with this supplement even at a pretty low 1-2 cap dosages. I won't be using it again.
TD formestane gives a more pronounced libido and aggression effect. Fat loss and body comp changes are noticable but not spectacular like on cycle. Getting it to stay in solution is like doing brain surgery for me. The blurred vision and sleepless nights are pretty bad with TD form for me.
Jungle Warfare and Alpha DriveXL, which are supposedly ADED based, did nothing whatsoever for me. I had no positive effects, erratic libido, irritability, and nose bleeds with both of those. Booooo!
Final Thoughts
I believe I listed my personal experience for pros and cons for all the AI's that I have used. From that information, you should be able to deciper which AI I would recommmend for specific goals.
Formex contains legit formestane. The taste is very distinct. Is it rediculous that I know the taste :think:
MCPE has definately enhanced the bioavailability of oral formestane. Also, I wouldn't personally expect any negative effects from dosing even more aggressively than I did with Formex. I would expect more positive effects.
Finally, another stack that keeps coming to mind is Formex/6oxo. I believe that trione's aggression with Formex's reliable estrogen control and endurance would make for very productive workouts during a cut in the post pct timeframe. Most will say that 2 AI's is redundant. But in my experience, stacking AI's allows for lower dosing and has been a fun ride in my limited experience.
