Totally get that. I am not sure about feeling much different between 5-600 mg of test and 2-300 mg of test. The most I have taken was 400 mg of test, and I don’t really feel different at 200 mg. IIRC, there was some difference in mental traits between 300 and 600 in a study I read, but it was pretty small.
Drugs like tren scare me for the reason you brought up (feel like superman on), as well as all the other good reasons tren should scare someone.
Say guy 1 takes 300 mg of test all year long, and guy two takes 200 mg most of the year with one 13 week blast at 600 mg. Both take the exact same amount of total test. I am not sure who looks better given that the two guys are identical in every way other than doses. My gut is that the latter is bigger, but I don’t know.
That’s great to hear. Another potential issue is having enough supplies, particularly given the restrictive laws in my neck of the woods (MA). Just would take some planning.
That might be superior for aesthetic purposes, but I do wonder about the libido effects, which is the reason I got on TRT in the first place. Would you agree that the steadier release of test (with 2-300mg year-round) would probably be better for consistent sex drive? I’m sure I’d feel a surge during the blast, but I’m not really looking for sex drive surge, just consistent (reasonably) high sex drive.
IIRC, libido was pretty consistent going from 300 to 600. I don’t think with testosterone that libido is a linear relationship. It really flattens out. I think probably mood stuff too. At a certain point, I would guess many actually have decreased libido and mood with higher doses. I seemed to go though a week or so coming down from 400 mg to 200 mg that libido was the highest (too much IMO). So I probably have the highest libido at around 300 mg vs higher doses.
I’ve heard that from other guys as well, that they felt better at lower doses than higher. Interesting stuff, man. It’s all so confounding – figuring this out might be a lifelong journey
I haven’t experienced a libido decrease at higher doses, but I also haven’t found a ‘sweet spot’ yet. What’s the highest you’ve ever pushed your dose?
200 mg, which I am doing now 3.5 weeks in. I have done a blast at 325 mg for a PL meet with VAR at 50 mg at the end (I also got the flu a week out, and bumped the test to 400 mg the final week).
I was on 150 mg for TRT. I am now self administering, but the TRT doc said to go to 180 mg based on my previous blood work. I figure 200 mg is close enough.
Libido, mood and energy wise about all the same (sometimes I think just changing doses even going lower makes libido spike). I did some physical differences like body temperature were present at the higher doses.
Yeah most of those guys are freaks. How anyone even makes it to that level without getting injured along the way is crazy to me… never mind the ones that make it then play at that level for years
Our internet was down for the last three days, so I haven’t been online. My wife is 5’-0 and 100 or so pounds. I am literally a foot taller than her and more than double her size.
Damn! I’ve never heard of that guy. More like Bob Trapps. What’s crazy, too, is that these guys don’t just look insane, but are also freakishly athletic. Just specimens. No amount of drugs/training/dedication would ever bring us to like 20% of their capacity, lol.
