dave palumbo is a dishonest scumbag, and tells lies on a daily basis

if you triple or quadruple that testosterone dose, you would probably be somewhere near what he used

and you dont get severe acgromegaly like dave does on 6 ius of growth a day

only a charlatan would believe this, palumbo is the very definition of the "all drugs" competitor

remember he was a dealer as well, so he had enough shit layin around to take whatever the fuck he wanted


he has to give reasonable dosages, because he would be VERY irresponsible to be telling those numbskull followers on his site that 3-4-5 grams a week is acceptable

I call bullshit too. I can't remember where Palumbo posted it, but I distinctly remember him saying he wouldn't go lower than a gram of test (off season) otherwise you're wasting your time. I find it hard to believe that for contest prep when you need to hold onto as much muscle as possible he only runs a gram of test.

he is right......there is a lot of physical variation between individuals

but not so much that one pro only has to take 500mgs of testosterone, and another pro has to take 2500mgs

its more like some guys could get away with 1500mgs, while others use 2500mgs

but NEVER be so naive to believe so pro when he tells you he uses 600mgs of cyp, and 300deca for cycle, because they are lying to you


BOTTOM LINE:  they are all using LOTS of drugs, and when you see a guy improve after he has already been a upper-level bodybuilder for years......it NOT cause he changed his training or diet

The reason I did not tell the story is because I don't know the full story.,  I personally was not there.  But, there was an IFBB official there, the military liaison I had with the Navy, an old business partner and a few personal friends I let go on the tour.  It was a tour specially setup for them on the USS Missouri.  I got to do alot of things with the Navy and military most don't get to do because of the contacts I have.  All I was told was that Dave did something that was embarrassing enough to have the people in charge at the USS Missouri tell my liaison that all further tours were canceled.  Also, the IFBB official was so outraged he told me he was a second away from calling Manion and the offices.  But, I never dove deeper into what happened.  I had alot more things going on than that at the time (like Flex stealing a Ferrari I got him). All I know is some very reputable people told me about it.  Something about yelling at someone or something like that, that he shouldn't have yelled at.  Here is a photo

Yea well he changed the deal when he got to Hawaii.  He said since one of the other guest posers didn't come he should be paid.  Our original agreement was the same as the first year.  He got paid nothing but I paid for the hotel, airfare and per deim for him and Collette.  And that year I even sent him to Maui to do something and he did something over there too.  So when he hit me up for the $600 I had to pay him something or he said he would not do anything and then that would have left me with no one.  So I gave him half and then gave him a check for the rest when he left and then stopped payment on the check.  Oh well too bad.  But, on a good note, he is very entertaining on stage with Collette and he is verey smart.  But, I know he has attacked me numerous times on his radio show.  And the funny thing is if you ask anyone who was at the tour they would make Dave sound really really bad.  I just forgot the whole thing, just like the Sean Ray incident.  Can't think about things you can't change.

UN Sung is mostly right - 250mg of test is 250mg.  The problem with UG labs (besides the sterility issues) is that noone can be sure of the quality of powders they're using.  So, maybe that 250 is 100, or 350 - noone knows. 

JNN - there is no such thing as UG HGH - just generics.  Some generics are counterfitted more than other though.  As far as tren goes, by definition there is no such thing as a human grade version, so whenever you use it, you're taking your chances...

I agree that not all UGL are bad...however a hg pharm company's amp of 250mg will always be dosed correctly. and even your making your own test, you can never be sure if your powder that you have is dosed correctly 100% of the time..thats why you have so many guys on 3-4g's of test a week because they use UGL under dosed shit...if you use legit hg you will never need to go near those doses.

that is probably right...

i mentioned Dave Jacobs, i was listening to an old big nation radio where they were interviewing him, where he said a typical off season test dose was around 3500-5000mgs per week, sometime going much higher

this guy was supplying many of the top pros and giving out drug advice, he knew what pretty much everyone was taking,,,.....and his estimate falls in line with what many other pros and prep gurus have said candidly in interviews over the years


dave palumbo was a guy with pretty shitty genetics, who struggled for years to obtain his pro card, who HIMSELF was a drug dealer........do you really think he has qualms with taking more then 1200mgs of test.....OF COURSE NOT

he CANNOT say the real truth because some idiot on his messsage board will go and hurt himself......and he does not want the responsibility

he is lying about his insulin doses as well, he was  huge slin junkie

there is NO such thing, there is only shit thats real, and dosed correctly....and shit that is garbage

just cause something is from a UGL does not mean it is bad......Dave Jacobs had a UGL in his fucking kitchen and was supplying  half of the top names in bodybuilding

EVERYONE raved about his shit

please dont make a fool of yourself talking about a "hg type physique".............250mgs of test enanthate made from Organon, is the same a 250mgs of enanthate mixed in my basement

key for above terminology:

mega doses: over 7-8mg's per lb of lean body weight

moderate doses: 3-6mg's per lb of lean bodyweight

low doses: under 3 mg's per lb of lean bodyweight

I disagree with most all of this.  First, no studies indicate that a person of higher bodyweight requires more AAS.  It doesn't work that way. 

Second, running any compound year-round is unwise and will always lead to shutdown.  I've always recommended cycles no longer than 16-20 weeks, with HCG during at least the last half of the cycle.  This allows you to recover quickly and as a result, your training doesn't suffer.

Studies havent been done on bodyweight requirements for hormones. but common sense would lead one to the conclusion that bodyweight does apply. shutdown is going to occur within days pf the first injection or tablet taken..  regardless of how long the cycle lasts.

UN - it's hard to say at what dose things become "dangerous."  However, a good rule of thumb is around 1000mg a week.  For many, at this dose, they start to see many more side effects than they would at 500 or 750.  You need to also consider the principle of diminishing returns.  I've heard from guys that did 5000mg a week (yes, that's 5 grams) that that dose was no better than their usual 3000mg. 

There is also the idea of receptor saturation.  It's just a theory though, and has never been proven...

the level of hormones necessary to reach receptor saturation would be dependent on the number of androgen recepttors which would be dependant on bodyweight(muscle weight)..

 ;) 

Of course shut-down occurs, however staying on year-round makes coming off a hell of alot harder, even with the aid of HCG.  Of course for pro-BBers who make their living off their physiques, they must stay on. 

Just because someone has 250 lbs of LBM, simply doesn't mean they require more AAS than someone with 200 lbs.  The fact that they are bigger could be a result of a number of genetic factors - not least of which is how their receptors respond to androgens.  See Phil Heath as an example.

Again receptor saturation has not been proven, though I suspect it has some credibility.  I'm unsure why you say the AMOUNT of receptors one has depends on their LBM.  I see you reasoning, but have read no study in which this is discussed.

Running any stuff past 3 or 4 weeks is gonna shut you down.  In addition, I don't know the science behind it but why would running HCG in the middle of a cycle do anything Your body is still gonna know there is foreign test in the body and shut it down.  This is why PCT shouldn't happen until 2-3 weeks after your last dose of an oil base otherwise you're wasting money.

You are correct. Look at natural test levels. There is no proof that a guy 6 or 7 feet tall has a higher natural test level than a guy of 5'8 or 5'9.  I would think that leads thinking that just because you are taller you don't require more juice....Food for size yes.  Juice, no.

In layman's terms, HCG at the proper dose "tricks" your nuts into working again and, as you put it, ignoring the foreign test in your body.  Thus, when you come off of your cycle your body can recover much faster.  PCT is still necessary, but given cases I've seen, after you run that PCT for 3 or 4 weeks, you're body is basically fully recovered and producing as it should be.

sure, but that is totally irrelevant to the discussion, is it not? if one has a genetic predisposition, then they have a genetic predispositon. nothing can change that, and that change doesnt change the fact that the more muscle they accumulate, the more steroids they will need to get the same effect

But we can agree that there is no correlation between the size of a person and test production.  i.e. a fella 6'9 isn't gonna have a higher test level than a guy 5'9.  Therefore, more test isn't required for bigger guys...More food is though.

From anecdotal experience, I think genetic variance is a HUGE factor.  Not only when it comes to one's response to androgens, but to training, nutrition, etc.

no

what your saying is this:

"testosterone is not responsible for the height and weight of men"



that is very different than saying

"effectiveness of testosterone is not muscle-weight dependant"



the size of a human, structurally, is dependant mostly on dna and GH levels during adolescents.

Test levels are measured in units of mass per volume, for example ng per dL.  So two people of varying body mass, say 200 lb vs 300 lb, with the same test LEVELS (ng/dL), will most definitely have DIFFERENT blood volumes(dL), and thus DIFFERENT amounts of total test (ng) in their system.

In other words, going from 200 lb to 300 lb, having the same test level of say 500 ng/dL, as the volume of blood increases so does the amount of total test have to increase in order to keep the same Test Level (ng/dL).  By this logic a person with more LBM would require MORE test than someone with LESS LBM.
 
BTW, ng = nanogram and dL = deciliter, if i'm mistaken please correct me.
 
Here's a site just showing standard units for test measurements, came up on first google page for "testosterone level normal":

Straight from the horses mouth


TESTOSTERONE: 1200mg per week
DECA: 600mg per week
PARABOLIN 76mg amp 3x per week
WINSTROL 50mg every other day
HALOTESTIN 20mg per day
GH: 6IU per day
TESLAC 20pills per day (anti-aromatase)
PROVIRON 20mg 4x per day
6IU Humulin-R 2x per day

This was a CONTEST PREP CYCLE........and it was the most I ever used........ After using this, I cut back the testosterone to 1000, the GH to 4IU.......got rid of HALOTESTIN (when trenbolone acetate became more readily available).....got rid of teslac and proviron when Arimidex arrived


take these doses and double them for a more accurate depiction of his run- including the GH and insulin as well.
