You're a good guy pellius, but a bit naive on this subject.
1-2 grams of test a week is for beginners dude.
I have known 20+ guys who admit to using over 3g's of test for "years" at a time. Shit I've used 3g's a week of "combined" AAS and i was never a monster.
Take anything with a grain of salt my friend, remember DC has a business to run. His products are good, but he is making false claims to push his products.
You may be right, but 7-10 grams test alone? Seems insane. I'm assuming that if someone is at that level they are also using other anabolic as well. So imagine it was a two to one ration test to other anabolics which is pretty common. Now you're talking another 5 grams of deca or eq.
Also, when you said you used 3 grams what kind of test did you use? I think gh15 has a point about UG gear. I had a friend who use to home brew and got his raws from China. Because it was dirt cheap (which is the main reason he home brewed) he would routinely run 2g test and 1g of other anabolics in additon to orals. When his supply dried up after ORD and he started using HG he said he got way more gains running 750 testoviron, Norma deca and anabol.
Dante never made any claims to be a competitive bodybuilder nor expressed any desire to. I do subscribe to his basic training principles of intensity and progression. And as far as what he believes is a serious bodybuilder's protein requirements, he was preaching this before he has his True Protein business. It's almost like he started the business to help him meet his own protein requirements much like a juicer because a dealer for the easy access and "whole sale" prices.
I don't know, DC always struck as an honorable man and someone who, if he is your friend, has your back and will be there through thick and thin. Jim seems stand up as well.
But you're right, what do I know? I've never really been in the thick of things and don't know either personally.
