First of all GUARDS, who are you to say a winny only cycle is a waste. Maybe for you but not for all people, some people want different results than others.
bbforlife, I have done a winny only cycle and had good results. I put on about 12lbs. during the cycle and kept about 9 or 10 lbs. Here is what I did: I used 100mg ED for 8 weeks, I split the doses at 50mg in the morning and 50 in the afternoon. If you are taking the tabs besure to chew them, and try and take them on a full or partially full stomach (it can screw your stomach up). Definitely have clomid for post cycle as well, you know what to do with that. Also try and take something for your liver as well (for example milkthistle). Winny wil most likely annoy your joints, so I would recemmend maybe something for them as well. I didn't have any joint problems but some do.
If 100mg ED is too much bring it down to 50mg, and if you don't get what you are looking for right away up the dosage.
You will make good strength gains, mine were really good and I kept them. Eat a cleam diet as well. Hope this helps.
