Taking into account the weight of the esters and so forth.

So there's a 4-6 week period in which Equipoise is not noticeable at all?

On the one hand, one might think that Proviron decreases gains during steroid cycles because it's an anti-estrogen, and estrogen plays a role in promoting gains. On the other hand, one might think that Proviron increases gains because it frees up testosterone by binding to two proteins (albumin...

How long before you notice that Equipoise is working? I've read that it takes a long time, perhaps 4-6 weeks, for Equipoise to begin to really show its power. But how long does it take for Equipoise to become noticeable at all in your workouts?
