Total mg steroids/wk?

[MN87]

Just a conceptual thing for me really. What matters more for the gains you'll make on a cycle: total mg steroids/wk, or the individual mg steroids/wk.

Like, I know that diff steroids target differed receptors to accomplish different goals, but...

For example, is 1g test/wk comparable to the effects of 500mg test + 500 mg deca/wk? Or, say, 300mg test + 700mg var (ie 100mg var/day)

Just curious. Thanks!

They are both very different compounds which work in synergy to produce more desirable results. For instance straight Test reduces Collagen synthesis where Deca substantially improves it, leading to better gains then using just one compound.

I don't mean so much the synergy that comes from using the two. I am referring moreso to total net anabolic yield, so to speak.

If test is shown to improve anabolism in a dose dependent manner, than 500mg test < 1g test. My question was moreso, what if you're taking 1g of steroids a week... 600 mg test + 400 mg deca for example. You still have 1g total worth of gear in your body... so would you expect the results to be comparable?

Or maybe that would be dependent on the anabolic:androgenic ratio of the compounds as well...?

The negative's would outweigh the positive's of doing such a thing. And gains would be better with 2 different compounds that work together.

And what your saying here is a gram of anything is a gram and is the same thing, that's like saying a gram of Tren will perform the same a Test which is utter stupidity (Don't even want to know if 1g of Tren is possible). And with the attitude of 500mg<1000mg is foolish dosages do not go that high for a reason or else people would take 5000mg of Test because 5000mg would bring better gains than 1000mg with your mindset.

Make sure you have properly dosed gear before thinking that 500mg of test is not enough to get huge gains. Also there is plenty of info on Steroid ratios on "Steroid.com" or on here I believe.

You are always best to look at your test as the baseline of your cycle - starting with a moderate dose.

From there - add one compound - in moderation.

Together the synergy will be much better than overloading your test to give you the higher mg's

Synergy will always give you a better effect than doubling any one compound - at least from my experience.

Thanks for the input guys. Right, that input about synergy is more along the lines of what I was asking for.

My question basically stems from the sticky thread that states that responses to testosterone are dosage dependent, where it shows that people administered 600mg test were roughly 50% more anabolic than people that were administered 300mg test. Basically what I was trying to ask... it seems that responses to most steroids are dosage dependent. My question was, is it indiscriminately dependent, or discriminately dependent? For example, would a person be more anabolic if they cycled on 600mg test a week, or 300mg test/wk + 300mg var/wk? (also 600mg total... this is just an example)

But you both raise good points. The potency of 500mg tren is surely different than that of 500mg test... but on the other hand, each compound would bring different things to the table.

So yeah... if anyone has anymore input on that topic, please feel free to add

As Repo and I said 2 compounds will work better than one overdosed. Yes 300mg will produce less gains than 600mg but that does not mean you can keep uping the dose to 1g, I personally would never use more than 700mg of Test there are alot stronger compounds than test out there.

Test should always be included in more advanced cycles just should not be the focal point.
