Hi cvictorg
I loved you post. I've never posted, and to be honest, don't really visit sites like these but they appear in my search results when I do research from time to time.
I do agree that most people are using to much anabolic steroids for the desired outcome. That being said, what other people put in their bodies have nothing to do with me. Thats none of my business, period!
I came across Mike Mentzer's teachings and philosophy on productive anaerobic exercise several years ago. I commend you on choosing for youself a truly great hero. I have read all of his literature and actually spoke to him several years back before his passing about his research.
I believe that he got it right, or as close as anybody has ever been. I train with the consolidated plan in his latest book.
I have always used low doses, not because I am concerned about health but its simply uneconomical not too. Why use more when less will do? I normally do 200 mg of either testosterone cypionate or nandrolone decanoate combined with 10-15 mg methandienone.
I do however go on longer than most people. I normally shoot for 16 weeks. If I come back after a long layoff thats enough to add about 50-60 lbs. or about 25 to 30 lbs if not. Obviously the further you get pass you genetic level the less ou gains will be for a given amount of administered dose.
The least effective cycle, in terms of weight gained vs amount taken, was a 15 lbs gain going from 260 to 275 lbs.
Oh yeah, I never lose more than 5 lbs after a cycle and don't use any anti-estrogens.
Take what you want from this post, and do what seems right to you. What ever that is! lol
Regards
F
