and the mountains of reading isnt too fun
The knowledge you obtain from all that "mountains of reading" is priceless and irreplaceable
I read a quote once that you just reminded me of, "Be informed, not just opinionated.". You should always strive to inform yourself of subjects, like the one at hand, through countless hours of research. Don't just take a mental note of what 1 person says about it...take the time to research, gather information, and form your own informed opinion on things. If you didn't research, how else would you distinguish between fact & fiction? I could sit here and feed you bullshit, and you wouldn't even know because you took the easy way out, lol.
Food for thought
With that being said, my favorite bulk cycle goes like so:
Weeks 1-18: Test E@850mg/week
Weeks 1-16: Deca @650mg/week
Weeks 1-8: Dbol @50mg/day
These are the dosages that I personally like for me. What works for me, may not work for others
