Test while Dieting

[stitch1967]

Anyone have any experiences with doing small doses (250mg/wk or less) to help maintain muscle mass while dieting ie. 1500-2000 cals per day?

sure, anabolics such as test are gr8 for helping to maintain muscle while cutting. 250mg/week is ok but like i've said a million x's to my bros, diet and cardio are the most important factor..

diet and cardio are the most important factor..

And these are in place, I just keep wondering if I ran a little test along with these that I could save myself some muscle.........what dosages are recomended since the cals/day are def inhibiting any new muscle growth, so too much test would be a waste

when cutting i like to run a shorter ester test such as prop, reason being it will kick in faster and levels will be stable faster as well, it will benefit you b/c it will help save more muscle mass.

Running a longer ester such as test e would work, but you have to be careful, since the kick in is longer and levels begin to stabilize after a couple weeks, so in the first couple weeks the test e wont fully be in your system, you could loose some muscle due to this.

agree, prop would be ideal say 50mg/day or 350mg/week

what weekly dosages are recommended to just maintain mass?

[stitch1967]

oops i was slow thx for in the input....I have 20ml of sust...was thinking of using it?

[stitch1967]

bump for more info....with sust would 250mg/wk be sufficient...I'm guessing to split this up into 2 shots per week like a normal cycle of 500mg?

[trenzbyotch]

can u run it at 1.5 cc's per week or 1/2 cc on m,w,f?? that would be your best bet at 375 week of test

[stitch1967]

yeah, that would prob work. Do u think 375mg is low enough to keep me away from bloat?

[SuperLift]

It shouldnt bloat you to much at that dose. If your really worried about bloat just pick up some letro from AR.

Thanx for the advice...tren and super..I have l-dex on hand so I should be set...i'm at 20% bf down from 28% (natty) and headed to 14 - 12% (with this little test help) . When I get there I gonna PCT, take some time off, then hit a lean bulk with test and deca (and maybe some anavar at the end). I'm turning 40 in a couple weeks and am excited about getting back to the shape I was in my late 20's early 30's. I've done a couple cycles not really concentrating on the bf enough......THIS TIME I'M GONNA DO IT LEEEEAAANNN with diet and cardio in check.
