Yeah, I really think you guys are going to like Epistane. I am an employee of IBE and so you may think I have bias when it comes to this stuff but I assure you that I do not. I have used the same thing most have used over the years, superdrol, m1t, 4-ad, etc. Many of them were great, with superdrol being up there. Problem with superdrol, however, was its toxicity. When it first came out people liked the gains so much they would make excuses about how bad their bloodwork was post cycle. People were getting HDL values of 8 and LDL values of 200 and saying, well it was because I wasn't eating right, wasn't taking NAC, etc.
With Epistane this isn't "as big" as a problem. Any oral, or any steroid for that matter is going to affect lipid levels and any methylated steroids are going to affect the liver. Each steroid affects them at different levels though. Epistane is a little less anabolic than is Superdrol, but far less toxic. Does that mean you aren't going to get elevated lipids or liver values? Nope, but you recover from them much faster. The numbers don't lie, Epistane is 12x more anabolic than test. It is a fact and has been tested in the lab on more than one occasion in the 50's, 60's, and 70's. You may say science wasn't advanced then but recent advancements in computer technology and quantum mechanics have allowed for predictions in receptor binding affinity using QSAR have confirmed this. I think many people get impatient with it, take too low of a dosage, or just try comparing it to their tren cycles at 40mg/day.
Depending on how big you are I have not seen really anyone not grow considerably at 40mg/day spread out throughout the day. It takes about a week or so to really kick in and by the end of the second week you are feeling great. Strength is up remarkably and you get a nice fullness. After my surgery I went from 158 (hadn't worked out in months) to 175 in about 4 weeks. Now granted I will admit 158 is nowhere near my normal weight so I shot up quickly. In all fairness I have done the same thing with Superdrol, going from 159 to 178 in 4 weeks after another surgery. With what is on the market now, this is the hands down strongest and most effective muscle builder and the benefit to cost ratio is the highest out there.
As for the gyno reduction properties, 10-20mg/day works best. I think 5 morning and 5 night would be optimal but they are 10mg capsules. The methylated version of epitiostanol (the original SERM from the 70's) is more androgenic, therefore, taking high dosages above 20mg will start to negate the gyno reducing properties. It is sort of like saying I am going to take 10 caps of aspirin because I have a really bad headache. Doesn't really work that way.
If you guys have any questions please feel free to ask, it can be about any muscle builder or Epistane and I'll be glad to share my opinion and/or scientific knowledge.
