I don’t have a lot of basis for comparison, but I’ve been happy with the results after 6 weeks. The acne was very mild and only for the first 4 weeks. It was very light and on my back only.
I would recommend a cycle like this for hardgainers, because it makes you very hungry. I think it would be very hard for me to make “lean” gains on this cycle no matter what, because I love to eat and eq makes me unbelievably hungry.
The side effects have been nil except for achy joints on winstrol, which went away as soon as I stopped it at 5 weeks.
