'Kick-starter' strength/mass sudden drop-off or not!?

**GrandmasterSpank** · 10-30-2008, 01:22 PM

I'm currently in week 2 of running my 1st ever ASS cycle...

Weeks 1-12: Sustanon250 @ 250mg per week
(I'm intentionally starting out with low dose of Test to assess my personal response to it)
Weeks 1-5: Dianabol @ 20mg per day
(As a 'kick-starter' to tide me over til the test kicks-in properly)

My question is,- with the sudden cessation of Dbol intake at the end of week 4, and with Dbol being a fast acting and also 'fast leaving' (the body) oral AS, wouldn't there then be a sudden drop-off in weight/strength/muscle mass following this!?...Now I understand that the point of a 'kick-starter' is to carry you through until the test kicks in properly, but I was still wondering if there would be a sudden drop off in noticeable strength/mass all the same, as whatever my heightened test levels are at the beginning of week 6, I will still technically be suddenly dropping a significant amount of AAS from my regime.

I'm sure there's probably a simple explanation to my question, but I have done a lot of searching though the forums and couldn't find anything related, so cheers to anyone who has the time to answer this for me!

Anyone!?

So what about a tapering-down scheme,- so that as test levels gradually rise from the Sustanon , the amount of daily Dbol intake gradually decreases to achieve more stable levels of overall ASS in the system, on a week-to-week basis?

E.g....

Week 1-3: 20mg Dbol per day
Week 4: 15mg Dbol per day
Week 5: 10mg Dbol per day
Week 6: Peak Test levels!....Hoorah!

Sure, I know it's a 'bum theory', obviously it is,- otherwise everyone out there would be doing something similar,- but can anyone explain why this doesn't work in practice? The concept at least seems so logical!!!

oh boy... why only 250mg sust? by "testing how you react" you also give up the best chance at a solid bulking cycle by running such a low dose. i would start shooting 150mg eod with the sust so you can get something out of this.

20mg dbol ... don't worry about losing a lot, you'll hardly gain anything with a dose that low.

Thanks for your input T Own.

Granted, utilising a low dose such as the one I am using is unlikely to attain the 'wow' gains of a 1st time 450-500mg per week cycle, however, 250mg per week will be taking my test levels above double their natural levels, and a lower 1st time dose also means...

- Less sides / Better assessment of side tolerance, e.g gyno, acne etc.
- More play for later cycles

Same goes for the Dbol ,- 10-20mg per day is plenty for a 1st time ASS user to make gains off.

Why de-sensitize your Androgen receptors pre-maturely & unnecessarily?
