Yes that 1000ng/dl mark is where you want to be IMO. This is the upper range of normal, not superphysiological. But make no mistake, you will feel great with that test level as compared to where you are currently. And there is nothing wrong with the increase in 'masculinity' despite the villainization of all things male.
So a guy 42yo should be running at 1000? I am 380.....so I should be triple what I am right now? I have no desire to compete again....you saw my pic...I maintain decent leanness....I did like the jump in sex drive what I have started taking. What concerns me is the amount I would have to shoot to get to that point....then anything extra to counteract the effects of taking more. I know, I sound like a pussy now....but like I have stated...thats one of the reasons I have held off for so damn long in doing this anyway. As a follow up...the guy who my buddy uses has him doing:
200mg Test E / week
Arimadex EOD
HCG (dont recall the amount)
and every 8 weeks he does (I think) 200mg Deca per week.
He pays $500 for that as a 10week cycle.
Mine is $38 (including shipping and needles) every 5 weeks.
