ANyone have experiance with a low dose cycle?

**T3/T4 GSR** · 03-25-2006, 07:40 PM

Anyone have any experiance running a low dose? I plan to run test e at 250mg a week for 10 week along side with 4-5 weeks of superdrol as a kick start. I already have the gear and I will be giving it a shot but I am interested in what anyone else has gotten from this kind of cycle. Basically I am looking to test the waters, make some gains and keep them. I feel with the low dose I should make some keepable gains. Would like to try to hold onto a solid 15 pound gain. As far as my height and weight I am 6'0, 165 and 9% BF as of last month. Now I am not looking to be told I am not ready for gear. No I am not at my genetic limit but I feel I have done my research and I will be fine and gear when used right can help anyone, not just people at their genetic limit.

Stupid newby beginner cycle mistake.

Do you think I should add a bit of deca ?

**fudgedelic** · 03-25-2006, 08:38 PM

Well especially as a first there are some advocates on this board of a cycle in that dose range. Simply put we can't answer how your body is going to react to everything. Although if you wanna keep it low dose adding drol seems like an oxymoron. Best leaving that shit for later down the road, also might as well just try sticking with one compound. And if it's just keeping the gains that worries you that is entirely up to your pct. A low dose or a high dose of test is still gonna completely shut you down, relative to your natural production it's a huge influx of hormones.

**yenstrol** · 03-25-2006, 08:47 PM

I tried that cycle first. Didn't see results til i bumped to 500mg. / week

peace out

**T3/T4 GSR** · 03-25-2006, 08:58 PM

How much did you weigh when you started? Is test doseage effects much by your body mass like a lot of other drugs?

**moregunsthanroses** · 03-25-2006, 09:35 PM

Im no expert but yes a 225 pounder on 500mg's of test may gain only 10-15 pounds while a 175 lber could gain 20-25 assuming they are the same BF, with proper diet and workout habits. this may not always be the case as a 225 pounder could gain 20-25 lbs, just depends on how your body reacts.

**T3/T4 GSR** · 03-25-2006, 09:44 PM

Do you guys think I got a shot at making a solid 10-15 pound gain on 250mg of test e a week givin my stats? Like I said I am looking for solid keepable gains but I like to see how my body reacts to a drug at low doseages before increasing it. Just how I have always been with my experiance using drugs other than AAS. If I could get another bottle of test I would just say the hell with it and bump it up to 500 but I only have one and I could get a bottle of deca off my friend because he wont listen to me and wants to run a deca only cycle since it was the only thing he could get. Just not sure if I want to introduce another compound especially deca.

**moregunsthanroses** · 03-25-2006, 09:50 PM

I would think a 10-15 pound gain is a reasonable expection from 250mgs of test. Personally i would run 500mgs for my first cycle for 12 weeks, dont worry about any other compounds

**T3/T4 GSR** · 03-25-2006, 10:11 PM

Well that sounds good...I would like to up the dose but unfortunately my source got me one bottle since he insisted I should start at a lower dose. He said I have deca if you want it and I said no so my friend bought it and I have been trying to tell him deca is ment to be used as a compound added to a test base so he wont listen. I'm almost thinking of buying it off him and running like 250mg of test and 125-150mg of deca a week just so he doesn't do a deca only cycle. His diet sucks and he stopped working out a year ago. He thinks gear is good motivation to get in a gym...

**IBdmfkr** · 03-25-2006, 10:21 PM

Yes my first cycle I ran 250mg/wk for 10wks and gained 18lbs, kept 14-16 don't remember exactly. It all depends on Diet/training/rest, if you have those down you'll make great gains and hold them with proper PCT.

**T3/T4 GSR** · 03-25-2006, 10:23 PM

That sounds good. My diet is going and training is going great. So Far I have put on 15 pounds naturally in the last 5 months all pretty lean. I was planing on doing a nolva only PCT with letro on hand incase of gyno. Does that sound good or do you feel I should add clomid?

**moregunsthanroses** · 03-25-2006, 10:27 PM

personally i would add clomid but its not essential with such a low dose of test. If you have letro run it at .25-.5mg's during your cycle no need for it during pct.

**T3/T4 GSR** · 03-25-2006, 10:32 PM

Yea I was keeping the letro incase gyno came up. At 250mg I doubt it will but better safe than sorry.

**IBdmfkr** · 03-25-2006, 10:32 PM

Keep nolva on hand during cycle, I always run clomid but my cycles are higher dosed. You could probably get away with running nolva only but everyone responds differently to each drug and with how quick they recover. Try it and see, if you feel you need the clomid, may want to keep it on hand just in case.

**T3/T4 GSR** · 03-25-2006, 11:07 PM

Sounds good...thanks for the excellent advice.

**pmorris** · 03-26-2006, 04:42 AM

get more gear run it 500mgs for my first cycle for 12 weeks.
If it gives you to many sides then just lower it there isnt really a point at starting really low. aslo 500mg each week isnt "a lot a lot"

good luck.

**hosam4ever** · 03-26-2006, 05:45 AM

i did test e & 250 mg ew for 7 weeks i was not looking for mass i was just trying 2 gain my lost weight & size * this way worked with me but every one is different

**Swifto** · 03-26-2006, 06:40 AM

There are threads on low dose cycles of 250-350mg/wk of Test. Do a search.

**miguy82** · 03-26-2006, 08:16 PM

My first cycle(stupid) i did sus at 250mg every 6 days.. btw i was 21 and didnt know shit aso didnt do pct.

Some how idk how but i went from 145 to 167 i think and after what should have been pct i only lost 7 lbs so i stayed at 160. also my strength went thru the roof so much it was insane but i also did have some serious strech marks and later got some tendonitis in my left elbw

Just stating my first cycle i did that was only 250mg also it was supertest which i think so also underdosed so it prob wasnt even 250mg.lol

**hoopcat528** · 03-27-2006, 04:28 PM

Looks like you are getting some good info but I'll throw in my 2 cents.

I still do low dose cycles and I first started doing juice 20 years ago (I am 42).

Here are important things I have found:
1) Get to your maximum best physical condition prior to doing the juice. The juice will take you far beyond your peak.

2) You'll get great gains off your proposed first cycle if diet, workouts, etc. are right.

3) I do 250 mg of Test E per week and I gain about 8 to 10 pounds off the cycle when I do it. My bodyfat goes down from about 14% off cycle to 11% on cycle, and bodyweight goes from 230 off cycle to about 240 on cycle.

Good Luck !

**neverenuff21** · 03-27-2006, 04:35 PM

still run low doses and love it.

**Milky87** · 03-28-2006, 03:58 AM

There was an extremely old thread around here where someone wondered what it would be like to run 250/200 of test/deca . This guy had 8 or so years of experience using steroids and still managed to gain about 15lbs.

Sorry I cant be more specific on the details, I read it over a month ago and havent been arsed/able to find it
