And you are basing all this on what?
So he should get less sides at 50 as well if your argument holds water?
I'm basing it on logic and observation. An old body already exposed to say 3 decades of
androgens wont respond like a teen body never exposed to exogenous androgens. Many
reminiscing on the old days don't take all this into account. It's like an old junkie saying
drug X used to be so much better 3 decades ago... no shit, they had fresh brains back then!

I wasn't saying higher dosages never cause more sides, they often do. I'm just tired
of all these posters crying about how they couldn't imagine doing X dosage because they
are already getting crazy sides and exploding out of their skin on a small dose. It isn't always the
case, the body can adapt, some sides can disappear or change (like with insomnia or acne for example) or new ones can appear instead. You don't know if you can handle until you try to up the dosage over time.
People attribute some almost magical characteristics to some famous products, like the Negma Parabolan. Either it was a different drug compared to what can be produced to today, or they attached some magic to the steroid molecule... I like to think that there's some other explanation. But let's say it's true, the tren used to be better, maybe 3-4 times better like bigmc says. Then in reality guys are doing less tren today compared to then because it's so much weaker today.
Just remembered, Ric Drasin said "back then" guys were doing 1-2cc of EQ a week (50-100mg) and "exploding".
Today guys are often doing 1 gram, 20 times more!!! And todays EQ has often been analyzed by government labs, verified to be boldenone. What the fuck is going on? Why was it stronger back then? Or was it really?
I do agree that you don't need much to get results. I got nice results from just 10mg of dbol when starting out. There obviously a point of diminishing returns and you have to increase dosage several fold to get even a small percentage of extra gains. That's the reason for mega dosing, the body adapts quickly to any drug or training stressor.
