    250mg cyp EW too low?

    stats 22yr, 80kg, 14% bodyweight.

    Would 250mg test cyp EW for for 8 weeks be too low dosage? Bearing in mind i'm only 80kg and don't expect to gain huge amounts on that dosage. I also plan to kick the cycle off with dbol .

    Cheers,

    Dave

    I dont think so, no. Others will argue its too low a dose though.

    I've seen many members on UK boards use this sort of amount and make very good gains. Your not going to put on 20-30lbs, but more 8-12lbs I think. Then retain almost all of it. I've seen people gain on 250-350mg/wk just fine. I think the 500mg/wk minimum mark is an american thing. You often see first cycles start off at 250mg/wk in the UK.

    Is this your first cycle? If so, it's plenty. I'm extreamly pro for low dose cycles.

    I'd suggest running it for atleast 10 weeks though. Eight weeks is too short imo. No need to run the dbol yet. Save it for your next cycle.

    1st cycle: Test 250mg weekly for 10 weeks.

    I've personally seen people run this, and they have gained on average around 10-15#s.

    if this is one of your first few cycles, you should get very "decent" gains off that...maybe run it a bit longer, if you can, but that's pretty similar to my first couple cycles, you know, back when Mark Whalberg was still Marky Mark...ehhhhh

    oh, and you won't need much dbol either, my first dbol run was dbol only, right before i left for West Point my senior year...i only took 3 pills a day for like 6 weeks...jumped on the plane at 225 (sure, lotsa water, didn't care at the time)...

    Not to hijack, but if you were shooting that little would one still break it down into 2 weekly injections shooting half a cc?

    I'm trying a low dose cycle this time. I am shooting 200mg every 5 days. I will see how it goes and adjust the dose as needed. I think sometimes I am taking too much.

    ill be the lone discenter. i thinks its too low and for not long enough. test cyp sometimes doesnt kick in till weeks 6-8, so id say most of the weight youll put on is from the dbol . i dont know why you dont just scrap the dbol and get more cyp and run it for 12 weeks @ 500mgs EW, split into 2 shots per week. i dont understand the logic "i want to cycle but not get too big" well then why are you bothering?

    c'mon now Big Lou, i mean, while back, i'd probably be in your corner, but after they cut out half my L5-S1 disc 8 months ago, i just can't hit it the same way anymore...however, i can't go all naturale too long, so i run lil minis here and there and i DO see a difference...now, i'll never pack it back on to 260 like before, but i still turn heads...

    Thanks for the replies guys.
    It's only gonna be 8 week cycle because I can only afford that.. PCT gear cost me lots..
    I also intend to take the dbol to kick start unless convinced otherwise.
    I would like to see strength results in the first 4 weeks before the cyp kicks in.

    As already mentioned 250mg test cyp a week for 8 weeks should be fine.
    I have money but am reluctant to spend it

    Like already said above, you may want to consider running it for 12 weeks, 8 weeks is short.

    I just started test cyp. This is my first time using anything, so Im doing a 200mg injection every 4 days. I'm for low dosage because I feel the body can only do SO much. If you want large gains, then do it over time.
