Bodyweight/Dosage?

[johnsomebody]

Here's something I'm wondering; shouldn't bodyweight and/or size have some relationship to dosage?

Say I wanna do 400mg of EQ/wk, which a lot of people recommend for newbies like me (plus test en). But I weigh 230 (18%bf) -isn't that going to make a big difference as opposed to someone who weighs,say, 150?

I want to do a mild cycle for my first but I don't want to underdose to the point where nothing much happens.

Any suggestions/comments?

Thanx!!

Yes - bodyweight (more imprtantly LEAN bodyweight) play a big role in noticable effects. But anything exogenous over you natural androgen levels will give results. If you want to do a mild Equipoise cycle at your weight I would suggest 500-600mg per week with a gram frontload. Only 400mg of total combined androgens per week may be too mild for you... especially when considering the ester weight of Equipoise.

Thanks bro.
I was planning on 250mg T Enan & 400mg EQ/week.
Those sound adequate for my bodyweight or should I bump it up?

i think you should run more test than eq. 500mg enan 400mg eq/week should be adequate

250mg per week of test enanthate is pretty minimal. That's about 175mg/wk of free testosterone when you subtract the heavy enanthate ester weight.

I would say, for you...

Weeks 1-10: Equipoise 400mg per week
Weeks 1-10: Test Enanthate 500mg per week

You are also going to need an anti-e during the cycle (Arimidex , Nolvadex or Proviron ) and Clomid to come off. IMO - since you are running only long esters, to make weeks 10-13 more bearable run Clomid 50mg ED until you load it 21 days after last Eq shot.

Great post concerning Low dosages....I am doing a low dosage cycle of Test enth(250mg/week and 200mg of EQ/week and I'm seeing good results....

Thanks for the resonses, Warrior and the rest.
And the thread posted above is great. (You still around buylongterm? Could I ask your bodyweight?)

I've read a lot of posts by people who've done well on low doses. But it occured to me later that maybe a lot of the people who did well at lower doses may have done so because their body weight was considerably less than mine. I definitely buy the "low dose" idea, especially for starters, but I don't want to shortchange myself by going too low if bodyweight is a consideration for dosage.

Hey Bro havn't seen you around for awhile, how you been?

Hey Bro if I remember right we're the same age or close to. Go with a test only cycle at 400-500mg a week. I think you'll be pretty happy. Save the EQ for your next cycle.
