Would it be worth running these two together?
I want to try epi and I've read it works well with wet compounds.
I was under the impression Phera-plex was a wet compound (could be wrong) and I've tried it twice before.
If it is a good idea to run them together how should I stack them? In parallel or one at a time?
As for PCT I can get hold of nolva but I also have some Inhibit-E left over, would it be worth running this along side nolva?
Cheers

if you've got nolva forget that other **** haha
usually guys like to run the wet compound first followed by the epi. SD then epi, for example, is a popular one right now (and one i'll likely do soon)
there's a thread a page or 2 back on this mate, have a look

Yeah I imagine nolva sh1ts on inhibit-e it's just I have some left over. guess what I'm asking is would it do me any harm running two anti-oestrogens together?

you need nolva or clomid
Ruuning both simultaneously will be rather supressive, and an OTC will not cut the mustard so to speak

fair enough, however what exactly do you mean by suppressive? Low libido, oestrogen rebound?
What would the effects be of taking the Inhibit during cycle as I feel I may be prone to gyno? Perhaps just whilst on the Phera since epi has anti-oest properties.

supressive to natural testosterone levels

Inhibit-E is essentially ATD. It's an AI (aromatize inhibitor). It should therefore limit water retention. Phera-plex is a progestin (debatable), so any gyno you may get from Phera-plex will most likely be progestin induced so an AI will do little. Up the amount of vit b6 in your diet, as B6 controls prolactic levels

ok, just had to google some of that!
what about taking a very small amount of nolva during the phera say 5-10mg per day/two days. Would this effect gains.
also when people talk of having nolva on hand incase of gyno flare up, do they mean if it comes they quit their cycle and start on the nolva pct, or continue with the cycle and just take some nolva.
cheers, I'm learning a lot here

what makes you think you're gyno-prone, duder?
imho on this particular cycle I'd wait until pct to run nolva UNLESS you get signs during cycle. a low dose of nolva late in cycle may be applicable but not something i'd do.

It depends upon the user really. Some spot signs of gyno really early, and jump on the nolva while continuing their cycle. Others stop their cycle there and then and begin a modifed nolva PCT protocol

last time my nipples puffed up but it was towards the end so I just finished a few days early and started pct.
I think I'm prone as I seem to have a bit already, think its left over from puberty (im 24 now), my nipples stand out when warm and I seem to hold more fat there.
just thought if i ran epi second and my nipples puffed up during phera i'd have to abort the cycle.
if they do should i quit the cycle or continue with phera an take some nolva, also any idea how much?
the reason im interested in epi is because i've read it can help gyno

Known as pseudo-gyno. It is linked with high bodyfat. Lose fat and the effects will decrease

i have a pretty severe case of pubescent gyno (am now 21) that i just have to live with.
do you think this means i may be more suseptable to gyno seen as i already have it?

Yes, as adipose tissue has a high aromatase activity(mesenchymal cells)

I wouldn't start taking extra meds on cycle "just in case" you get gyno. keep plenty of nolva handy and if you get gyno on the phera switch to epi and nolva till it goes then continue epi to end of cycle.
I'd have to dissagree a little about "pseudo gyno"... just because it comes through puberty doesn't mean it's not real gyno. i think most men with gyno got it this way and it's just as real as steroid induced gyno. Although granted some lads just have extra fat that looks like gyno but isnt really.

Nah mate you're getting confused over the terminology:
1. Gyno from Steroids is glandular material forming under the nipples - broad on by andogen use.
2. Pubertal gyno is still glandular but caused by the increased steroid (androgen) production at puberty.
3. Pseudogyno is a condition that LOOKS like the other two but doesn't have a glandular component - it's just fat over the pectoral muscles (think Moobs on an obese person). It decodes into English as false-gynocomastia. Whereas gynocomastia decodes roughly into woman breast!
Therefore, pseudo-gyno is False woman breasts but true gyno really is the formation of female breast tissue in men.
This is slightly complicated by the fact that fat cells have a fairly high aromatase activity, locally. So, if you have a lot of fat in the pectoral area it would increase your risk of getting true-gyno as more test->estrogen conversion events are happening in the tissues local to the nipple.
Clear now dude?

I like both these compounds, although I wouldn't say Pheraplex was a "wet" compound. It's far dryer than Superdrol, at least for me, yet with the same explosion on gains and strength. My preference of a crossover cycle would still be recommended here, yet as Pheraplex isn't as harsh as Superdrol then it can be ran for an extra week.
Weeks 1-4 Phera 30/30/30/20
Weeks 4-8 Epi 20/30/30/30/30
Pheraplex can be used both as a cutting or bulking compound, but for a cycle like this I would recommend upping maintenance calories during the first 3 weeks, while lowering cardio, and having a short bulk, then use the 4th week to cut calories back down to maintenance and let your body adjust, then 5th week and beyond up cardio again and drop calories below maintenance.

How is phera a progestin?
Phera Plex is DMT. Desoxymethyltestosterone, a derivative of testosterone. NOT Desoxymethylprogesterone.
Unless you're referring to the fact that any 17-aa compound is progestinic to some degree???

Although it's not technically a progestin, it exhibits many progestinic properties. Hence why I said it was debatable
