I work with a trainer sometimes in the Cincinnati area. He's trained bb and pl'ers and he is very free with real-world advice. His advice regarding gear was pretty much the same as Gal's: start small and work up if necessary. Gal says side start to really kick in at 500/week (look at anabolichalo's raging bacne). This guy: 400/week.
yeah thanks bro.
everyone who has ben in this will say something similiar to that.
nobpody worth their money or sane will tell to a complete newcomer to have 500mg base test with nothing or even with added compounds.
if one starts at too high level they will not be doing this for long.theyll entirely stop.
too long to list why and what, but the results will be poor.
the higher doses etc for later on, yeah, thats fine.
and if one doesnt grow on 500mgs weekly, hell if one doesnt grow on 250 weekly for first timers, they will never grow on anything.
or, somethings off, the training being much too little intesnse(many ppl overestimate how "hard" they train, but they have the nerve to talk shit about how pros train, one almost has to killthemselves in the gym to justify gear use, the training must be fierce, not weights used necesarily, but intensity), or the diet is off, or both.
gear is always on in most cases,thats not the problem.
if the training and diet arent dead spot on, any dosage is "too much" or pointless.
when i see newcomers talking about what weight they lift, i know by default they doing everything wrong.
the correct weight to use is the one where you fail at 8th-20th reps of full slw concentrated rom, however much that is, it can vary wildly on day to day basis.
and dieting or slight gaining, the difference is just bit food dofference and days off the gym, more days off the gym allow better growth, more days in the gym one will be more shredded.
and must always balance the walk, feel when a day off is needed or smart, etc.
anabolhalo realy wanted to believe just upping the dosage will do it eventualy, i always said he will be having a unpleasant awakening.
and what now?he was scared of his hair, yet meanwhile the acne is coming out like sweat in normal ppl.
thats part of genetics and diminishing returns too.
then we have mr 5gramms of gear weekly esf, well, look at him.
do you want to inject 20 1ml ampoulas a week(!!!) for that look?dont think so.
not everyone will lok the same on 250 or 500, but everyone should take it step by step.
or the guys, runing every compound in the world available and then boom gyno, the question which one might have caused it?well, hard to tell,isnt it
