Increase gear amounts?

[vet01]

Hey guys,
could i get some suggestions from you. I am getting my gear lined up for my next cycle (my sixth cycle) and i was wondering if i should increase my amounts of if i will be just wasting my money. I have always have had good results from Test E and EQ, however on my last Test and EQ cycle I didnt really see the results I expected. I took 500mg of Test and 400mg of EQ for 12 weeks. Some of the lack of results could be from diet, but I dont think so. I ate and trained well. Im I at the point that I should increase my MGs, if so, what would you suggest. Thanks

I understand this is ur 6th cycle, but how bout some stats. Age, weight, height, bf%, yrs training.

Are you sure the gear you used in your last cycle was dosed properly?

 

[Die$eL~Man]

maybe you had beat gear last time...

500 test and 400eq and this is your 6th cycle or it's going to be your 6th. Those are very light doses especially for EQ. 400 test barely puts me over the normal range.

If you like test and EQ try sust 250 at 1cc MWF and 1gram of EQ per week. 50mg Anavar (var) per day for the 1st 5 and last 5 weeks. You won't be dissapointed.

400 test barely puts me over the normal range.

No disrespect here man, but I'd love to see the blood work to confirm that. I know a couple guys on Dr. prescribed Hormone Replacement Therapy (HRT) at 250mg/wk and they routinely get their levels tested at right about 1500ng/dL.

400mg/wk would put most in a range 5-10x the norm.

thanks for the input guys. my stats are 34 years old, 5'9", 215lbs about 10-12% bf. this will be my sixth cycle. ive mixed my gear up alot but have gotten to like test and eq. ive been training since i was 19 and finally made the jump to using gear when i was about 31.
milkman, can you explain what you mean by "dosing" properly?

Short of me mailing you a copy of the results you'll have to take my word for it. I was on axio labs test C 400mg EW. I know how I feel on good test. This stuff was legit. The range for total test was 400-1080. Mine was 1120.

To the original poster. Proper dosing mean choosing the right amount (mg's) to take for your cycle.

If the label says 200mg/ml is there really 200mg of hormone per ml of solution.

I'm amazed... That's very interesting. I guess some people are just more "resistant" to hormones. Interestingly, I know for a fact that if I only ran 300-400mg/wk of Test for my first cycle, I would have been disappointed, but because it ran 500mg/wk I had pretty good results.

not to mention, even with properly dosed products, the ester is calculated into the weight of the hormone, and its usaully between 15%-40% of the weight. so if you have 100mgs of testosterone enanthate powder, the ester will be 18% of that weight leaving you with only 72mgs of the actual hormone. acetate and propionate esters weigh less so you get more hormone per concentration. some consider the weights of esters when fine tuning exact dosages.

This is very true... I wouldn't go that far but I would remember which compound I was running. For example, 225mg Test Prop EOD effects me TOTALLY different than 750mg/wk of Enanthate. After I feel the effects of each, then I do the calculations to know how much actual hormone I'm getting.

 

[dialtone]

i dont pay attention to it either. i just pay attention to how certain concentrations of different compounds effect me. who cares how much of the actual hormone you are getting as long as you can manage the product appropriately with your body.

Some people have higher aromatase conversion rates, especially people with higher bodyfat percentages. 1120 is a pretty high ass test level though, you wont hardly see that outside of someone who is still a teenager. I've come across 19-21 year old white guys in the high 200s.

I do know a testosterone replacement therapy (TRT) guy with one testicle on 300mg a week.

He was saying that those were his levels on 400mg/wk, that's why I was very surprised as I would assume them to be WAY higher than that. I'm in my early 20's and my natty test levels are only 451ng/dL.
