So, I've been losing weight, slowly, for about 18 months. It has NOT been a linear progression, but I'm taking it slow and steady and just working toward my goal. I started at 285 and about 55% bodyfat (according to my scale) and right now I am at 241 and about 40% bodyfat (according to the scale). Approx 40-45 pounds in 18 months is only about 2-3 pounds per month, so it is nothing ridiculous, but I have done this with small changes that I will be able to sustain. I am also estimating that I have gained about 15-20 pounds of muscle during this time.
During this time, I've run 2 cycles of 11-oxo. The first time I started off at around 250 mg. and worked my way up to 1,000 mg for 1-2 weeks. I noticed that the effects between 600-1000 mg were much more pronounced. The second cycle I started at 600 mg and worked up to 1,000 mg and was over 800 mg for almost 6 weeks. Both cycles were decent, and I lost about 10 pounds in 2 months. While not amazing, it definitely helped and was reliable.
Now, I'm excited to try XI-KT. I've read a lot of good things about how it is much stronger than 11-oxo, which I would expect for a number of reasons. I understand that this is Ketotestosterone and not 11-Oxo and that 11-Oxo converts to 11-KT in your system, hopefully. I also understand that, with wild guessing, one should assume that between bioavailability, conversion rates and equilibrium rates, not very much 11-oxo converts to 11-KT. Soooo, even if I was getting 5-10% KT in my system during these cycles, I maxed out at 50-100 mg. Just an estimate, and a wild guess at that - but an idea of my expectations.
Now, I'm thinking of doing an 8 week cycle of XI-KT. This stuff's big drawback is that it is expensive. It seems that there is 87 mg/ml in this product, with 30 ml/bottle. My original thought is to run 1 ml (87 mg) for 1 week and see what it does. Then go to 2 ml (174 mg) for about 2 weeks and check that out, and then finish with 5 weeks at 3 ml (261 mg) which I expect will be very strong in comparison to the 11-oxo from what I've seen.
Does anyone have experience with these doses? Would I be better off to do 2 ml and go for 10 weeks or something? Obviously I'm willing to use more, but I also realize that there is a return on investment that diminishes as you increase doses. I know most people like 1.5-2 ml/day a lot. Since I'm going for fat loss, I'm wondering if I would be better to save that investment and do things differently. I'm open to suggestions.
And also, just because I know it will come up with a prohormone - I understand PCT. The party line on this is that over the counter PCT is OK - but since I'm going to 3 ml I am thinking of going with the same setup I used for 11-Oxo at 1 gram, which was Nolva at 20/20/10/10, with Alphamax for 4 weeks, DAA for 4 weeks, and some transdermal 7-Oxo that I have home brewed. I did this the last cycle and when I came off the 11-oxo (I had lost 10 pounds about) I lost another 5 pounds pretty quickly on the PCT, so I like this setup.
