    low dose good idea or not?

    im thinking about taking a cycle but in a low dose. i always feel fatigued never energized and im sick of it. i went to the doctor and got blood work done but i live near new orleans and we have the weakest doctors known to man. still dont even have a hospital rebuilt after katrina. so i was wondering if a low dose cycle would maybe help with this problem plus the added benefits in the gym wouldnt hurt. or if im gonna do it should i just go all out? im 27 195 lbs. been dedicated for about a year in the gym and diet.

    If you are going to do it, might as well go big. A low dose cycle is worthless unless all you want to do is self-medicate HRT

    the different between 250mg and 500mg of test from a side effect standpoint is slim to none, according to what most have said. Sure I guess it's possible sides could worsen at the higher dose, but it's not likely it would be too dramatic. Otherwise, if all you want is energy, the low dose would still do the trick

    Someone can probably give you an opinion about whether your symptoms are related to testosterone levels if you post your blood work results. If your test is low, you could start legit THT (HRT) without worrying about the hassles of going on a cycle. I only say that if all you want is to have more energy.

    so did I. I, too, had test levels that were low (321 and 313 total test the two times I got it tested). I tried natural test boosters, didn't do $hit. I think they are better during pct when your body is actually capable of regaining natural test

    Just my 2 cents,

    If you are thinking about doing a cycle because you don't feel good and think it may be due to low test this is a big mistake. Since if low test is the cause then after the cycle you will feel worse than before since your bodys (edogenous) test will be lower after the cycle for quite some time till it reachs baseline again, its one thing to recover after a cycle when you have normal levels of test, when they are already low its a bit harder.

    If you feel you are suffering from low test related changes in mood etc and you just want to verify that test is the problem and are ready to make a life long commitment to TRT then its so so as a plan, otherwise its a really bad idea. Why not post up your test levels get some opinions and if they are low decide whether you are ready to commit to TRT.

    but i live near new orleans and we have the weakest doctors known to man. still dont even have a hospital rebuilt after katrina.
    well i dont live near new orleans i live in new orleans and the doctors i go to and deal with are as good as any other and hospitals here are open and up and running all of the hospitals in metarie, kenner as well as slidell and the north shore so maybe you should change your location to something like near new orleans, or something like may want to be new orleans but dont list that you live in new orleans and then talk some smack about theres no doctors or hospitals here bro...only hospital is shut down is charity and the ones in the east and those where the free/welfare hospitals..which regardless had the best trauma teams that you could find anywhere in the US.....if you dont have insurance or cash go to EJ on the east bank or west jeff on the west side still open never closed and excellent doctors

    keep it real bro

    Not everyone understands the reality of using AAS in low and high doses and the ramifications of each, or that if its for low energy etc that it requires a constant dosage not a blast here and there, the guys original post was asking about whether low dose was worth it. I don't think he was trying to be cocky he is just seeking information. By the way a lot of guys resort to steroids to feel normal instead of tired all the time, this non sense...is called TRT.
