There is no such thing as a mild drug thats not going to shut down your natural test...and regardless your not going to see any results with anything low dose.
If you were in the steroid game 8 years ago im assuming your probably at that age where your natural test is taking a fall anyway..
bro if your heart aint in it dont fuck with it
Drug/supp use has nothing to do with heart. Plus, I already decided there's no drug to satisfy my individual needs.
I'll just find natural (wimpy) ways to increase my test. AAS's aren't for me.
AAS use comes with a price. High blood pressure, acne, gyno, shrunken ballsack, etc. There are consequences for everything you do in this life. The choice is yours whether you want to take the risks to receive the reward.
All AAS will supress your HPTA to a certain degree. Some like the 19-nor family (Deca,EQ, Tren) a little bit more than others. All those side effects that Meathead listed are POSSIBILITIES that can happen on cycle, depending on how your body reacts to those compounds.
If your natural peak is good enough, stick to your guns. Let me ask you this.. Did you enjoy your Test only cycle way back when? I read in another post that your got to 230lbs?
I did go up to 230lbs. 217 in pic though. I used 8 amps of sust 250 (organon karachi), and I gained and kept 23 pounds of lean muscle and strength. I took one amp (1cc)per week and I was 20 years old. I actually gained everything in the first 6 weeks. Last 2 weeks did nothing. I started working out and learning at 13 so I was ready at 20 and intelligent and dedicated enough to keep eating and training so I kept everything. I'm pretty sure my cumshots were smaller for a couple months afterwards so I decided never to use test again. Plus, I felt I was big enough and I knew I could keep progressing naturally because of my dedication and love for bbing. I just used it as a supplement once. It did what I wanted it to do and I was done with it. Might try Anavar (var) in a few years at a low dose to give me a few pounds (5 lbs would be a nice touch). It MIGHT not COMPLETELY shut me down so I might just try it out and see.
