Back story: In late May 2007, I began working 40+ hours a week at UPS. At this point, weightlifting ceased and massive catabolism took place-- probably to the tune of ~15lbs of lean mass.

In late August 2007, I was diagnosed with a recurrent ventral hernia and went on workman's compensation. This was repaired in late September 2007.

Due to first semester grad school demands, weight training did not occur. I finally got back in the gym on December 21st 2007.

Upshot: After consistent training for approximately 10 years, I took 7 months off.

I went back to lift in late December with help from Generic Labz Epithin-E, a epitiostanol product starting January 2.

The good: I regained a great deal of strength quickly (androgenic effect) and I now weigh over 190lbs again (probable 5-8 pound muscle gain.) I am noticeably more muscular while significantly thinner (in terms of fat accumulated during fall semester.)

The bad: Notable sexual dysfunction -- loss of libido, transient impotence (likely from aromatase inhibition.) Joint pain -- wrists, elbows, knees (experienced before with Rebound XT.)

Conclusion: This product does everything you want it to, unless you have a girlfriend. To me gentlemen, inability to perform trumps "being hyoooge," no contest.

Oh, and I'm probably shutdown HPTA-wise so I'll probably use a little nolvadex for a few days here.

Your planning on doing "a little nolvadex for a few days" ...

Do yourself a favor and do a full PCT

You can thank me later for saving your testicles and keeping you Gyno free

A full PCT for a 2 week pulse cycle?

Being overcautious never hurt anyone, but is this really necessary?

If the steroid you used was strong enough to put 5-8 lbs of LBM on your frame in 2 weeks,
which is what you said in your original post.

Then it is definitely strong enough to shut you down to the point where you'll need full PCT.

Its up to you bro, I would suggest you do atleast 7 days of PCT (half the time you were on).

But if it were me, I'd do 14 days.

Nah, you're probably right about that.

I can run a little nolva this week until the boys get back online 100%.

What was your dose?

30mg on workout days (which ended up being almost everyday) and 10mg on days without.
