Dosage Proportional to Race?

so in my quest to gain steroid knowledge, i decided to approach the biggest guy in the gym and asked straight off the bat “do you take steroids?” on hindsight i think that was a rather bad move, but it went out relatively well. in the end, i’ve made a few connections with ppl on gear and sources. i’ve also started hearing many recommendations regarding steroid dosages.

one that i’ve heard very commonly is that running 500mg/wk of test is ‘alot for asians’. most recommend running something along the lines of 250mg/wk. is there any backing for this?

i am skeptical in taking their advice whole, even though they have the physiques to show for their work. some of the troubling stuff i’ve heard from them include:

  1. only recommending one weekly injection, regardless of ester. example: taking ONE weekly injection of 100mg of test PROP
  2. lack of knowledge of ester half lives
  3. lack of knowledge of SERMS and AI. example: “you dont need nolva if you have arimidex. they are the same.”

Your skepticism is seems appropriate.

No idea about racial dosing though, sorry. If I had to guess I’d say there’s no difference. What if someone is half asian/half black? Or 1/4 white 1/2 asian 1/4 black… That’s my line of thinking at least.

I’ve learned the majority of what I know from this forum.

If you hang out here I bet you will learn a lot.

You seem to have already done some research and have a good head on your shoulders. lol

I don’t think race has anything to do with amount of gear used.

knowing your inj. frequency is a pretty crucial part of making up cycles imo.

be careful with sources such as those…if they are as ignorant as they sound then chances are they may rip you off, be getting ripped off, get bad quality stuff, etc.

keep that in mind.

so i guess i should probably just stick to the typical first cycle dosage if i ever decide to run a cycle yeah?

yes 10-12 weeks, 500mg/week of Test…imo with adex, and nolva or another suitable SERM on hand.

then the taper for pct.

The stickies at the top of the forum should answer the majority of your questions.

There is a lot of info in there.

good luck.

also, one of our protocols here is to post age/stats, years training, etc when contemplating a cycle as well.

Sure
Why not

thanks for the heads up. if anything, i’ll definitely run it through here before sticking anything in the glute. =P

Yeah, there’s a reason it’s ‘typical’. Because it’s what works very well, typically.

Only use those sources as a ‘shop’. I.e. go to them with a precise list of requirements and do not let them try to railroad you into anything else - unless it’s something you’ve already researched and understood and can easily incorporate as a worthy substitute.

NEVER go to a random dealer guy and ask him to set you up with a good cycle. Chances are he won’t know a good cycle from a bad one and will just try to palm yopu off with any old combination of crap.

any old ‘PROFITABLE’ combo of crap. lol

I can’t imagine race having much to do with dosing, but body weight and composition probably would. Since some races tend to weigh more than others, there may be a shred of truth to his claim. Still, these dosages aren’t really that precise. 500/mg of Test-E is probably the standard dose because 500 is a round number. If you do 450mg/week or 550mg/week, you might not even notice the difference.
