Has anyone else ever used...

Has anyone else ever used this formula to map mgs/wk?


Lean body weight (lbs) / 2.2 = daily mgs or x by 7 and get weekly mgs???

I ran this for at least the first 5-7years and made GREAT gains every time.
(It is just mg/kg lean body weight/ day)

I only post this because I see all of these bro's running wicked high doses out of the gate... they could grow on 1/2 the amount don't you think?

(as long as training and food is addressed...)

Its was something I spoke with Dr. Fred Hatfield about 15 years ago when I was in college. That is was a rule of thumb back then for mgs/wk... There is a breakdown of % of high androgen based items and high anabolic items...I used it forever and turned my bro's onto it 10-12 years back. I thought it was this formula because I always grew and got stronger on 1/2 of the sh*t everyone esle was taking. I switch them to dosing them for their lean body weight and they would see more out of their gear... who the hell knows??? anyway... if you have some spare time/gear try it...

ex: my lean body weight is 210lbs / by 2.2 = 95.45 x 7 = 668 which is 688mg/wk... round up to 700mg/wk.. sounds stupid low for this board but.... it worked.
Now as you do more cycles there is a % factor to use.
(receptor site down regulation)
cycling1-5years x by (1-1.2)
cycling 5-10years x by (1.2-1.5)
cycling 10-15years x by (1.5-2.?????)

I multiply by 1.5 and get around 1000mg/wk... aand it works everytime
I have been 1-2 cycle / year for 15 years and I NEVER go much above 1000mg / wk... I have tried it and I see nothing but increased side effects...


kinda interesting...

nope never heard of it. hey is that gregg v in your avatar?

I'm at about 240 now so 240/2.2 is 109. 763 a week huh. I really over shot my bounds then with the 2400mg a week for my first 4 weeks. I was only at about 215 when I started to so that makes it even worse.

2400mg/wk!!!!!!!!!!!!! holy sh*t I started at 165 and made it to 245 (over 10 years)before even going to 750mg/wk..... and stayed between 750 and 1000mg/wk up to 280lbs.... I'm just thinking of what could happen at 2400mg/wk....

interesting...

[Ben Lifton]

LMAO!!! That says I should be running 779mg/wk! At over 2100mg's (my current avg. cycle dosage), you could say I'm an over-acheiver...

tre @ 2400 you @ 2100 /wk ...I may just have to give it a shot (no pun) and see what happens...
