I understand what you're saying, believe me.
My point is, is that there are other posts in other threads where you've recommended any variety of supps. I've seen 'forged' recommended as a pct, which is 1/3 the price of the ES. I've seen people say doubling up the ED isn't necessary (on cycle). Not to mention, the article that you link to mentions 4 weeks being an effective cycle (which was actually the first thing I read about OSTA, remembering back).
It's not about wanting/not wanting the "lifestyle."
I came onto the lot, you showed me the Cadillac.
That's fine.
It's the best car on the lot, and I can see that you're knowledgeable about it, and enthusiastic.
Now, do you have any Chevys you can show me?
I never once recommended running forged ALONE in pct... that was a PART of it... I also never recommend running a 4 week only cycle on sarms... I NEVER recommend that because its a half of a cycle... You could probably get by without the dspark but i definitely would run hcgenerate on cycle... as far s your mini pct, running hcgenerate es is as simple and cost effective as you can get... you could run the unleashed/post cycle combo with forged but you will end up paying more... if you buy es on sale at ntbm this weekend you can save nearly 20%... when it comes to cycling, there are no chevy's bro... i may have recommended things in the past, but then new things come out and better, safer and more efficient ways present themselves and so that is what i recommend... the bare minimum i would do would be to just run hcgenerate on cycle and then run ES for your pct... use the code big18 and you will save quite a bit... there is an hcgenerate two pack you can get that is discounted already and that will get you through 8 weeks... you could run hcgenerate for only 4 of the 8 weeks but your just making your recovery harder and a longer... I'm trying to make it as easy, safe and as good of an experience as I can for you... When you start cutting corners in this game, it never ends up at your advantage... Doing things thoroughly ensure you the best in every aspect...
