Recommended BF% for Epi

Hi guys,
 
New to this forum, thought i would join so i could get an opinion on BF% and pro-hormones. Im 26, weigh 190lbs, 5ft9, BF% 20.7. I train 5 days a week, intermediate lifter trained on and off for 3 years. However i have a short term goal so i am starting a cycle of epi next week, 4-5 week cycle 20/30/30/30/30 .i have everything in place to start, chapparal labs epi, cycle support (milk thistle etc) and 4 week PCT ( androbolix & Esto supress).
 
Now the question is, i know pro-hormones are more effective on people with a lower BF %, however do you think i am going to get any issues with me using them in terms of me being at 20.7%? bearing in mind that figure is going to drop whilst on epi.
 
any input would be great guys. I know im probably going to be ok as im far from obese, in fact im in good shape just a bit round the abdominal which lets me down. cheers

I am by no means an expert and have only ever done one cycle of EPI but had dramatic results on it.
 
I'm not toned, far from it, but I'd reached a point physically which I couldn't break in terms of strength, stamina, size.
 
I decided to try EPI, after countless questions and months of research, to see if I could break down that wall to push harder - and **** me did it work. I was more visibly toned up top (I'm primarily a cyclist) and over the 6 weeks lost around 12lb in weight but manged to gain 2" around my thighs.
 
I think you have to really think about what do you actually want to get out of your cycle?
 
On a side note sadly I've lost most of my gains due to an elbow injury and constantly trying to "cut". Oh well roll on 5th March ;)

Loved epi, leaned me out without even trying.

Yeh i am currently in bulking season until april so just got a few months left. Just trying to gain as much muscle as possible until april then i will be cutting for 12 weeks. The question i am really asking is would i have any adverse side effects due to not having a very low bf%? I have no doubt epi is going to improve my bf% and increase muscle im just wondering if theres a recommended limit of BF that someone should be before they start a cycle. If that makes sense lol

Well, since aromatization happens in fat tissue you are more likely to get problems with gyno, I've read. ;)

Yeh ive read a few things on gyno and fat tissue, i only have some fat on my stomach, everywhere else like on my chest and shoulders etc i dont have any fat there really, my upper body is in good shape so im thinking im probably going to be ok but thought id ask anyway

....but then Epi ive read is very unlikely to cause gyno anway especially when a correct PCT is done

I don't think there's any 'recommended BF%' for any steroid use mate, its down to the individual to decide whether they want to use a steroid or not, and if they do, for what purpose. Yeah sure, if you were leaner you may 'see' the results in a mirror a little more, perhaps. But what you see and what you've gained could be very different things, we all know that we look better and bigger in a photograph if leaner, but we might be stronger and carry far more muscle at a higher bf.
 
I would have no concern over any supposedly increased gyno risk as a mode of your bf.

cheers Celt, thats cleared that up! Just wanted to iron out any concerns before i start so i dont cock anything up or miss any advice and kick myself later on!  hopefully it should all go smoothly and ill be ready for my annual lads summer hol in august looking in sweet shape haha. 

RE Gyno on EPI I experienced none myself, either on cycle, PCT or on time off. Its been over 6 months since and (quick grope) things seem fine.
 
I'm really looking forward to my next cycle! I keep going onto Dragons site and filling up a cart already to check out but I know I'd be far to tempted to start the cycle yesterday so to speak! need to natty for a few weeks yet

Just to be safe you could add an AI for the cycle...
