just finished week 8 test-e, gains slowing down, up the doses?

**aussie_bodybuilda** · 06-21-2011, 06:38 AM

just finished 8 weeks of test-e.... im still putting on weight but my strength gains arent really going up as much as they were.. should i increase the dosages?

With long esters week 8 for me was when my gains would stop, id usually frontload so gains started quicker but then i wouldnt have to run the cycle as long and recover easier.

What's your current planned cycle?

Past cycles?

well it was originally 12 weeks of test-e.... but could find another bottle of enthanate to finish the remainding 4 weeks... so i got sustanon 250 instead so im using that now... also have 4-5ml of propionate from a previous cycle i wanna use to finish off in this 1. im thinking of doin 2 x 1.5ml jabs of sus a week for remainder of cycle and use the prop 1ml eod in last week also just to finish off all my gear quickly cus im over the cycle atm and dont know if i will use gear again just wanna finish it dont feel good / motivated for it anymore but cant waste the gear... paid for it so im gonna use it.... have pct of course nolva clomid ready. and have adex but dont think i needed it entire cycle......

previous cycle was only a short test-prop cycle.

so could say this is my first serious propper cycle..

Got to love how people plan these things out. I think 1/2 of them buy what they can then wait until the next weeks allowance comes in to buy more. LOL

Read Ronnie Rowlands Thread. He says around the 8 week mark is where the gains stop or just stabilize.

I have seen a few people up their dosage and continue to gain. I am going to do that starting tomorrow as I am 9 weeks in of a 12 week. I guess I will find out if it really works. Might even extend my cycle past 12 weeks. However, I have plenty of gear on hand to do so.

agreed....I've never wanted to be one if these guys who do a 16-20 week.cycle. I've never seen gains beyond week 10 so i like to call it a day at week 12 @ be 8 weeks closer to my next cycle than a guy who's doing 20 weeks

Just finish out your cycle as "planned", no need to up doses imo.

yeah ive read ronnie rowlands thread... and i agree / think its true aswell that u stop making impressive gains at around week 8.... which is why im thinking of upping the doses to see if that helps.

or you could deload for 2 weeks, "run 2 weeks at 250mg which will create an environment to grow on your next blast" Then do another 8 with a higher dose of test.
