a newbie attitude towards doses

As a newbie I took the attitude that: I'm better off to start out with light doses and see how my body takes it. Maybe I will get gains on the low doses maybe I won't. Maybe I will get alot of side-effects maybe I won't. If I don't get alot of gains then write this cycle down as a lesson learned and i'll take more next time. Does that make the cycle a waste? Or is a lesson learned worth it?

Well you guys were very right the low dosages are a waste.

I meant no disrespect to this forum when I disregarded the recommendations to take more than I did. (Some people may actually get gains from low dosages).

Starting out low was not my mistake. My mistake was not having enough gear on-hand to increase the doses once I figured out the low dose wasn't enough!

My advice to newbies as a newbie myself is: if you're going to take low doses for the first cycle and it's below what everyone here suggests at least have on-hand, before you start the cycle, enough gear to bump up the doses to what the vets suggest and have enough to add a few more weeks to make up for the time you wasted on the low doses!

Good to hear your real-life experience--even though I am sorry things didn't work out for the best for you. Hopefully by sharing your wisdom, others will have better results in the future.

Sorry to hear that bro, but what were you taking that was so low?

I had 10ml of Deca-300 on-hand and 100 dbols and some sus on the way. I decided to do 200-300mg/wk deca for about 10 weeks and 20mg/day dbol for 4 weeks and start sus at 250mg/wk on week 5.

Too low.

I upped the deca to 500mg/wk. I'm going to do 500mg/week sus and next time 40mg/day dbol. The Deca is about to run out (week 6) and the next one isn't here yet. That's the big mistake. I should've had tha on-hand up-front just in case. A lesson learned.
