EQ is not like Deca or Test lol... You're comparing big bulker compounds to something that is suppose to give you small gradual increase in LBM. It's not something that you are suppose to feel strengthwise. It gives more endurance, enabling you to bang out more reps and go through more exercises more quickly. Helps increase your appetite if you are one who struggles to eat, or who needs to hit over 7-8 meals a day. It gives you a better physical appearance mainly to your upper body (chest, shoulders). It's relatively dry, with no side effects (except for people who get headaches from it), and offers insane vascularity. You can't compare it to any other steroid. It's unique in it's own way. If you are someone who expects 500 pounds from it in 8 weeks, than you chose the wrong compound. 16-20 weeks, you could add a solid 6-8 pounds of clean and keepeable muscle from EQ alone. And you can't compare 600-800mg of EQ to 600mg of Deca. Deca crushes EQ in terms of adding big amounts of muscle and water.
If you want something mild to add to a cycle, EQ will always be the best compound to add. Whether you are bulking or cutting. It assists in increased hunger and slow and steady LBM increase during a bulk. And it assists during a cut as well, for endurance, vascularity and it offers its own look. Try running 1g+ of EQ, it's as good as Tren look wise. It becomes really fkn freaky and YOU notice it.
