First epistane cycle - advice needed!

[Joeyd91]

Hey all,

Been planning my first cycle for a while now, decided on epi 2a3a (epistane) because of the apparent mild sides and modest dry gains. I plan to run the epi at 20/30/30/40 with cycle support and glucosamine and post cycle therapy (pct) with Nolva at 20/20/10/10 with a test booster.

A main concern of mine is acne as although I have clear skin at the moment, I have been acne prone in the past, what I would like to know is how bad will acne be from a steroid like this compared to say test? and also how long will acne stay about post-cycle? as much as I want to do this, I don't think its worth it for me if i'm battling with acne for months after!

any advice on the cycle itself would be appreciated! and would especially love to hear from acne prone people who have run a cycle on epistane!

Appreciated

Joey.

I'd ask this in the PH/DS forum as you'll get more answers in-line with what you're looking for. My suggestion (provided you're done with puberty) is to read ALL the stickies at the top of this forum and consider a test only cycle instead. Acne is a risk you'll have to take either way, but managing estrogen can help with this facet of AAS/PH/DS. Good luck!

im not ridiculing you or anything, im just curious as to what is making you want to choose orals over injectables? Im sure you have a reason, im just curious

lol I hate pro hormones now after my entire right side started hurting a week into a cycle of them! It pisses me off that they have oral pro hormone steroids for sale that are harsher than inject able steroids. Lol it just seems so fucked up and unfair! Lol we should have at least one state in the united states that sells steroids for people 21 and over. I dont get how you can buy a hooker legally at the bunny ranch but you can't buy a vile of testosterone. I guarantee you can get a worse infection from a hooker than a bad shot of testosterone!

 

[Mad- scientist]

To answer your question about the acne I would say it is just as bad if not worse than testosterone. Technically the more toxic something is the worse acne you think would get from it. When I used epistane with in 3 days I had pretty bad acne. So i bot a normal acne wash and it helped clear it up about 40 percent but it still was noticable and pissed me off. I think acne will subside with in about 2 weeks completaly after stopping the product. But also your post cycle therapy (pct) products will most likely cause acne.

Advice - Dont run it

 

[KraviMan]

I ran a DS and didn't get acne. If you're prone though, try looking into things like Proactiv or Accutane to help you. I'd recommend scrubbing real well to open up all the pores as the sides of Test is oily skin which closes these pores up.

What goals do you have with Epi? It's more of a cutting drug than a bulker just so you know. Increase your cycle to 5-6 weeks. It kicks in week 2-3 so you should go 5-6 weeks for more effect. Don't forget your liver support, these 17aas are harsh.

Make the cycle 6 weeks you'll get better results and acne isn't normally a problem with Epi.

 

[endocrushed]

This is by far my favorite compound to run, your going to love this shit. I reccomend Ironflex labs Epistane is dosed generously for a great price. Also Fox is right 6 weeks is the sweet spot while 8 is taking it too far. I have had virtually no acne in the past maybe one or two nasty spots throughout the whole run

I've never done any AAS so I can't compare. I've done Beastdrol (superdrol), Helladrol and currently doing Epistane (epi 2a3a) so I can certainly compare PH to PH. Epistane was the only compound that gave me any acne. I had acne as a teenager but very mild. While on my second week of epi my skin got a bit oily and I started getting some acne. A couple of small ones on my forehead and a couple on my chest, that's it.

LOVE eli, sides are minimal, other than i did get a little joint pain, nothing some glucosomine can't help

I had severe acne in high school and am prone to having acne but nothing out of the ordinary on cycle. Im three weeks into my post cycle therapy (pct) and still have had no problem. Good luck to you
