this board is a joke when the mods are lost. ban me if you like i really dont care. i'll sleep like a baby tonight knowing that the truth has been spoken and rejected by the three amigos.
oh and 3g/w test is not a big cycle. arnold knew that in the 60s.
Well we don't ban people here just because their ideas differ from the mods.
I agree on the cholesterol level and have for years. A few doctors have admitted that cholesterol levels don't correlate with anything. This is kind of the same thing about dietary cholesterol and blood levels, there is no correlation there, either, however many were telling you to not eat eggs a few years ago. However, there may be something to the good/bad levels.
Maybe for you ox at anything less than 100mg/day is a waste, but I think that needs to be qualified. I've taken ox at 40mg/day and it wasn't a waste, I gained some muscle, shed some fat, and got stronger. I wasn't trying to add 20lbs of muscle, but then again, I don't compete and moderate levels are fine by me.
I think advocating dose ranges without knowing the person or their history is not going to do anybody any favors. And for the most part when you see dosages, they are going to be moderate. Why? Because for the most part, after you've been cycling for a few years, odds are good you aren't going to ask what to do with 2 bottles of eq and 7 amps of test.
Most asking for cycle advice are first timers, or damn close. And most of the time, they do as little research as they can get by with. So if you were to recommend a cycle of 2 grams of test and 100mg/day of Winstrol (winny), if they ran into any problems, they'd be fucked.
I know that many have tried Winstrol (winny) at 100mg/day and prefer that over Winstrol (winny) at 50mg/day, however fukkenshredded over at AF got jaundice during his Winstrol (winny) cycle for running it too long. There might have been other factors invovled, but the point is, there is not a 'perfect dosage' for a cycle.
Most of the posters here do not compete in anything or for anything. Again, it helps if you qualify recommending dosages...if you are a powerlifter and competing and you've done a few cycles, etc., etc. But 90% of the guys here have probably never done more than 2g/week of total gear. And those that have have probably worked their way up to those levels.
For a user who has never taken more than a gram of gear/week, 40mg/day of ox will be noticeable. You ask why on taking moderate doses, the answer is simple, if you don't compete and you don't want to bother with the sides, you don't want to look obscenely massive, moderate doses are perfect. Also, for somebody just starting out, if you can get similar gains with half the gear, why not?
I will say this, it is interesting to hear about dosages from a competitive lifter and one who knows other lifters and what they take.
As a side note, I have been enjoying your posts and would like to see more of them. But just because I enjoy them doesn't mean I won't say something if I think differently. After all, this is a discussion board.
