So i've been off for 3 months or so now. And obviously lost strength. Around 50 pounds less in the benchpress for example. This was being on "small" dosage of 250-300 over about a year.

So I was thinking what is the general consensus on gained strenth on natural beselevel compared to what test dosage.

If I gained around 15% in strength in general across all lifts how much would i gain on twice that dosage so 550-600mg/w? I.e.gained strength relative to test dosage increase.

I'm sure there are studies but it would be interesting to hear anecdotal experience on here.

I guess it's common to add other compounds than just test so maybe hard to get that anecdotal data.

(also yes I realize there is very much diminishing returns/ S- shaped curve to that strenght increase)

The tried and true method to become extremely strong is the following:

Lift a baby calf and carry it around everyday.
As it grows larger and larger you will become stronger and stronger.
One day it will be a huge, full grown bull weighing over 1000 lbs and you will be carrying it around easily.
At some point you will want to slaughter the bull and eat it.
Then get some barbells or heavy sandbags and carry them around instead.

How can you guys handle giving yourself needles over and over? Aren't your hands shaking? When you have to go to the doctor for blood tests, is it easier to handle being you've been injecting yourself frequently?

As anything you get used to it. But sure it is annoying somewhat but no big deal.

Also, personally because my dosages where pretty small I could use tiny insulin syringes without a problem. The needle is so small it's like a mosquito bite. Usually I don't even feel it unless the rare occation I hit a nerve.

The bodybuilders injecting tons of stuff probably use like 22g or whatever, because otherwise you would spend so much time injecting with small gauge needles. That would probably suck in the long run
