    Default Epistane and TRT

    I am on TRT at 200mg per week of Cyp, and .5mg of arimidex twice a week, been lifting for 5+ years, and am currently cutting very slowly (2200 cals per day). Currently 220 and 20% bf (educated guess based on mirror and past dexascans)

    I have read a lot of good things about epistane during a cut, where you can re-comp in some cases. But I have not seen much about running it while on TRT. It does look promising though. Looks like I could just do cycle of it on top of my current TRT, and it would help me at minimum to maintain strength and muscle mass while on my cut. Since I am on TRT, I wouldn't even have to do PCT, but I am guessing I will need to run liver care while on it.

    Any insight, guys?

    Epi is a good product but IMHO it's too mild. I would recommend Helladrol over it for cutting, strength gain, and dryness.

    I think you would do well with 2-3 a day of EPI and it will help keep your Estrogen levels in check but the Arimidex will do a much better job. I feel Epi's effect within 30 minutes of taking it.

    Milk thistle and some NAC for liver protection.

    Epi would be a good addition. Dedication rec helladrol which would work well too. In both cases you would want some liver support to be on the safe side. They are mild methyls but still methyls

    epi and trt should be a really nice combo.....even epi and a transdermal test base is just a really good feeling and strength option on a reduced calorie diet
