Let me make this clear. When I first started gear, I ran it for a few months and took an entire year off to solidify my diet, and training. I'm not the biggest guy at 210 5'8'' at about 12%, im not the strongest guy 325 bench, 520 dead and 475 squat, but im not a newbie either.
Gimp also makes a very valid point. 1.2 gram of test + 800 mg of EQ a wk is not the same as 1 gram of test 500mg of tren a week. The harsher cycle for most people would actually be the combined 1500mg of gear per wk. Drugs like test, eq, deca, var for most people dont seem to fuck up blood work like winstrol, dbol, tren, and anadrol do. So you have to take that into account as well.
I just think you just cant say its universal for EVERYONE that 1g combined gear is all you should take unless you're making any type of money off of it. I think some people respond differently to different drugs and different dosages. 1g+ test treats me MUCH MUCH better than 500mg a week. Some say their ticket is 750. Diet and training aside, I just respond better to a little bit higher gear dosages, and I feel if I get my blood work done there's nothing I should be concerned about.
Dirk, I see your point though. and im not totally disagreeing with it.
