It's just down right ridiculous for someone who is barely 200 lbs to be comparing their doses and routines to the bodybuilding stars. That's like an upper middle class person looking to buy a home in an area where multi-billionaires normally buy homes.

Until these mega dose users who claim to make 35 lb gains per cycle start posting progress pictures, I will continue to say that the average joe (and "joe-ette" um....josephine) do not need to take mega doses of steroids to grow. Why is it that all the mega dose users who claim to grow so fast haven't posted pictures?

It's not hard to believe that people stuff themselves full of unnecessary amounts of steroids. But there has not been a reasonable amount of proof to support these people who say they gain 25-35 lbs of only muscle on EVERY mega-dose cycle they do. That's far-fetched and down right untrue.
That wasn't my point. My reply was aimed at a poster who was insinuating a guy who claimed to take 3 1/2 grams of test a week was lying. I have said repeatedly that large doses can be done but it depends on a persons goals and willingness to accept the increase risk of negative health issues and side effects. I know guys who mega dose and even with huge amounts of test and HGH only put 10 lbs of solid muscle each year. Low dose vs high dose isn't sh*t without diet and years of dedicated training. I am not a high dose advocate for casual users or novices. Very few people have the dedication and tolerance for such doses and lifestyle changes needed to make them work. I have pictures up. I started training 03/2003 after a 7 year layoff at 205 24% bodyfat. I'm now 200lbs and 14%. Basiacally an increase of 15 lbs of lean weight in 1 1/2 years. I'm 43. I used moderate doses 750mg/wk test with 250mg/wk doses cruising between 12-16 week cycles. On since last Sept.
