    Determining point of diminishing returns for Test

    How do you figure out the optimal dose of Test? (talking about a Test E/C only cycle)

    I know a generally accepted cycle of test is 500mg per week for 12 weeks. Why not 550, or 600 mgs?

    If you do well at 500 mgs for 12 weeks with no sides would it make sense to try a slightly higher dose in the future? How do you figure out your upper limits?

    There is no problem with upping the dose slightly when doing several cycles.

    The way I see it..... if you did great off 500mg's/wk..... why up it? Then again..... you wont know what it's like with 750mg's unless you try it.

    we're all different..... trial and error is how we find out for the most part.

    umm... it's not complicated. do one standard cycle, see how your body responds, and then alter the dosage accordingly.

    When i uped my test doses the only thing i got was more bad side effects. Everybody is different and they react different to test,you have to experiment to find the sweet spot.

    Before you up any dosage you need o make sure you are doing everything else right...ie eating,training,rest...you need to eat for the size you want to be not the size you are, so if you want to be 300lbs you need to eat like a 300# BB...if you are doing all things correctly and stuck in a rut then its time to up your dose..I have always uped it by250mg/week until I got "stuck" again,have used as much as 3500mg of test E a week while eting 10,000-12,000 calories a day over 12 meals to grow from 292 to 304.in the end it really wasnt worth it, financially the price of food far out weighed the price of gear and the sides were more then i wanted to deal with.was running other gear besides just test also.

    just make sure you are getting enough clories a day to grow and training properly

    many wont tell you this but many also dont know,test is one of those drugs that the more you take the bigger you will get but again,everything else has to be done right or you will just piss money away.

    btw,I have been trining since 1982 and using since 1987,I had alot under my belt before i went this route,dont do it if you arent experienced or you will hurt yourself
