8 Week Epistane Pulse

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Stats- age: 23 exp: 2 yrs+ wgt: 175 bf%=7ish

goals: To bulk as much as possible

I'm planning on running a pulse cycle of epistane for 8 weeks. I asked Dr. D if it was ok to run it like this, instead of 2 weeks on 2 weeks off, and he said its fine if i use a natty test booster on my off days, so I added in massfx, as he recommended.

Dose 3 days a week, M/W/F

Week 1 - 10 ,20, 30 (20mg pre, 10mg post)
Week 2 - 30 (20mg pre, 10mg post)
Week 3 - 30
Week 4 - 30-40
Week 5 - 30-40
Week 6 - 40 (20mg pre, 20mg psot)
Week 7 - 40
Week 8 - 40-50 (30mg pre, 20mg post)

Diet- 6 clean meals, 300g protien, 50-200g carbs, 50-100g fat--lower end on off days, higher on cycle days. 1.5 gallons of water per day. 1 cheat a week. Same diet for on & off cycle

Pre-cycle (1 month out)-cycle support, animal stak, animal m-stak, zma, creatine mono, multi-v, joint support, fish oil

On cycle- multi-v, massFX, trisorbagen, joint support, fish oil

Post Cycle -This is a BIG issue for me, and the main contributing factor that forced me to do a pulse cycle. I will be using Anabolic Xtreme PCT (AX), Resveratrol (Olympian Labs), LeanFX (AX), Fenugreek (GNC Brand), ZMA (ON), and I will begin my loading phase with Creatine Mono (ON), and also start up another month of Cycle Support (Anabolic Innovations). I would REALLY like to have some nolva on hand to be safe, but most, if not ALL, of the forums and reviews I have read about pulse cycling with epistane stated there was no crash, no shut down, and no need for nolva.

Training - I'll be using a push/pull/leg split to go along with my pulse cycle, training M/W/F, and cardio/abs on T/Th. Weekends are off. My setup:

Monday = push
Decline bb bench 4x8-12
Flat dumbbell bench 4x8-12
Machine hammer strength incline bench 3x8-12
Military press 5x8-12
Dips 3xfailure

Tuesday = abs &c ardio

Wednesday = pull
Pull ups 3x8-12
Dumbbell rows 3x8-12
Deadlift 4x6-10
Wide grip row 3x8-12
Barbell curl 5x10-15
Reverse grip bb curl superset w/wrist curls 4x15-20

Thursday = abs & cardio

Friday = legs
Squat 4x10-15
Front squat 3x8-12
Leg press 3x8-12
Leg extension 2xfailure
Leg curl 2xfailure

Training and pulse starts this Monday, 27 July. Feel free to ask questions or critique.

Subbed, really wanna see how this works out for you.

Good luck!

dude, pulse cycle just means that you're suppressed for longer.

Imo duration plays a larger roll in recovery than other factors.

And, if pct is such a big issue for you, why not use a serm?

The whole point of the pulse is to take a ph without having to take a serm, the pct I'm running isn't even a needed, I'm just doing it for ****s and giggles. check the forums if you want to, but don't cramp up my log with negativity

Just to update, it's the first day of the pulse, and I'm eating like a cow (but all clean). I feel like a fat @$$, and wanna get to the gym asap.

It's tuesday night here, nothing too special yet. I didn't notice anything different in my first workout. Must have did something right becuase I slept like a bear today.....and this afternoon......and probably tonight

No, it doesn't. You might read up on pulse cycles. Instead of suppression, you should probably be more concerned with the roller coaster ride your hormone levels will be going through.

It's day 5 of my cycle, and I don't really feel too different. workouts are going great, the push/pull method is the way to go. I probably had one of the most intense legs days of my life.

As a side note, I have noticed a considerable need for more sleep. And when I sleep, it's a lot deeper (im usually a light sleeper). My appetite has shot thru the roof, still eating like a tiger

It's tueday in week two, and not much change to note. I had my cheat meal sunday night, double cheeseburger with bacon and potato wedges (PHUCKIN DELISH). My push workout yesterday went really well, I left the gym feeling like I could do more, but then I would risk over-training.

I haven't gained a pound so far, so I'm going to cut out all my cardio this week and see how that goes. It's killing me only being in the gym three days a week, I'm so used to my old 5 day spilt. I'll stick it out tho.

It's Friday, and I just finished my leg workout. I'm really starting to second guess this whole pulse cycle. No increase in strength or added weight yet. It's only the end of week two, but still I expected to at least "feel" something by now. I'm going to give this one more week, and if nothing happens, I'm going to call it quits and go get blood work done. I'm also going to up my dose to 30mg pre workout and 20mg post workout.

If you guys want me to add more info, let me know.

Just an update:

1- Lately, I've been getting REALLY impatient, especially with dumb-ass people
2- I'm usually half-cocked all day, if not totally hard
3- I gained 5 pounds since I weighted myself last thursday, but I'm thinkin it's mostly water because I feel like a balloon
4- I think I broke my big toe, but I'm not letting it stop me. I'll go to the doctor's office sometime this week, and I'll ask for bloddwork while I'm there.


Besides those few indicators of pro-hormone use, there isn't anything else. No change in terms of strength, body comp, etc. It may be because I'm looking at myself everyday, so I'll post progres pics at the end of the week so you guys can compare.

strength gains usually come around the 3rd week mark on a proper cycle where u are taking it everyday....so dont expect them to come around until 5-6th week mark with this pulse cycle

[akusokuzan]

End of week #3 has come. If I don't start to feel anything different at the end of next week, this thing is over. My legs are dead, and i'm goin to the doc's office today to get my tow checked out. I'll ask for blood work to make sure the rest of my bod's doin ok

this is just dumb

Dude, don't bother me with the negative crap, just hit the "x" and move on if you don't like it.

[akusokuzan]

Halfway thru the cycle, now, might as well stick it out. I started to break out a little on my back, but I'm my skin always reacts that way to any ph. I'm up another 2lbs this week, now at 182.0 It looks like I'm starting to gain a little bf, so I'm going to add back in 2 days of 20min cardio sessions. No cheat meal this weekend either.

Well, I've determines the cycle isn't working for me. I though upping the dose to 40mg was gonna do something, especially this late in the cycle, I kno I'm eating enough, and my workouts are spot-on. I'm just gaining weight like I normally would on a bulk cycle.

My strength did go up, but I don't think the epi had anything to do with it.

For anyone who is interested in this, I'm sure it's great stuff to take on a regular cycle, but don't pulse it. I'm not even going to bother with a pct, I don't feel like I need it.

For what I have left of my stash, I'm saving for an Epi/Superdrol stack around end of october time. IMO, this stuff is too mild to run on it's own.

For the one or two people who followed the log, lemme kno if you want me to post stats, otherwise its just a waste of time.

Hey, I'm on my 3rd day of my EPi cycle, 1st ph ever. My plan is to pulse (2on, 1off, 2on, 2off), but you're making me want to reconsider! I only have Reversitol as a PCT and can't get much else right now. I do have vits and supps for cycle health. In your opinion should I run this epi everyday?

Everyone is different, I'd say no, but there are a lot of ppl who say they had great results. I think you're better off runnin a full cycle, and just taper off towards the end if you dont have any nolva
