Real Quick fellas

my Friend is running a low dose first inj cycle of test e @250/wk

He is Currently at week 5-6. he has another bottle of test.

Is curious if its ok to bump the dose to 500mgs/wk for the rest of cycle to week 12.

Not getting much results . diet is in check just doesnt feel much.
Is it worth bumping it up for him to gain maybee a good 7 pounds of lean muscle.
Or is he just gonna break out cuz of the fluctuation of test??

any advice appreciated
(stats 4 friend) 5'10 205lbs 12-13%bf

Does it matter its just more test, good idea or bad?? real easy quest.

More test=more gains. Thats the general rule of them. If he's got his ancillaries on hand (nolva, clomid, letro, etc) I see no reason not to step it up.

yea he has clomid+nolva that was my reasoning its just more test so not a big deal , but still curious if any others have gone through this were they decide to up the dose..

I am an older guy and take 100mg per week under prescription from an HRT Doc. I recently decided to do a cycle and I am now bumping this up to 500mg per week. Providing your PCT is in check and you do not over extend the overall cycle, I do not think it will be a problem.
I would rather someone like Gear respond to you as he is much more familiar; but I wanted to offer my 2 cents.
Good Luck.

Oh, but just gaining 7lbs of lean muscle can be difficult. Depending on how strict you are with your diet, your friend will probably gain some water weight and not just lean muscle.
Just keep that in mind as it will require more than bumping 250mg to 500mg for 1/2 cycle to gain 8lbs of lean muscle. Good Luck.

Bumping the dosage is not necessarily the answer to everything. There is a rate of diminishing returns at a certain point. Anyways he is on Test E man, it takes some time for it to kick in really, now is the time it should really start seeing things. If not it has to be diet related. Having said that yes I would have started with 300-400mgs/week
