AAS receptors

[DecaBane]

I have two questions...

Lets say someone takes their first cycle, of 500mgs of test a week for 8-10 weeks...whatever

if they lay off the juice for 2 or 3 years and they come back and do another 500mgs of test would they have to go up in dosages for proper effect? or is that enough of a time wait for the receptors to pick it up like if it were their first time?

Second question

again if someone does a 500mgs of test a week for 10weeks...waits a good amount of time like at least time on=time off but they want to switch to another compound like EQ or deca, do they have to go over 500mgs of that compound since their first cycle was at 500mgs or is like EQ 400mgs enough


second question pertains to me, I want to try another compound instead of test maybe like EQ, I might incorporate a small portion of test to keep the libido up but want to keep the dosages moderate...

Thanks

Receptors turn over in a very short amount of time (a few days to a few weeks perhaps). So the "downregulation" of them is not realistic...Now what would change the results from cycle to cycle is that if you put on 25 lbs. the first time, matching that again later is going to become more and more difficult with time...You can only gain so much size...
And you do NOT have to keep increasing dosages with each one...though the results may not be as dramatic in the future...

Term,

So your saying it's not really the receptor site's that's the issue, it's how much weight you gain..

What does saturating the receptors do for you?

Oh and how about Question #2

^I didn't get this in my subscribe threads list so I'm bumping it.

!. AR receptors do not "downregulate", "saturate", "get dirty", "need cleaned" or any of that stuff. Recent research shows that steroid use improves the functioning of existing AR receptors, causes a proliferation of myogenic stem cells, increases in the number of myonuclei, causes muscle and new muscle fiber growth which results in MORE AR receptors. In fact, non-responsive muscle becomes androgen responsive in the presence of supraphysiological amounts of testosterone.

This is, of course, why more IS better in steroid dosing.

2. All steroids are derivitives of synthetic testosterone. All steroids bind to the same receptor......the AR receptor. So changing compounds changes nothing in regard to receptor function.

Let me clarify it a little better lol...
What I mean is that lets say you start off at 175 lbs. and gain 25 on 500 mg of test per week...(Do you think you will gain 25 lbs. with each successive 500 mg/week of test cycle...No.) So as you get bigger you will need larger doses to make the same kinds of gains...Once you are 250 (and well over your genetic limit) you will need more to gain at all...At some point that original dosage you started with will become your cruising amount just to maintain (when one is well over that genetic limit). That does not mean that a first time user starting at 250 lbs. can't make great gains...it means that someone who has passed that ceiling needs more and more...

Hey terminator.........I liked that forearm shot you put up on that other thread. Great vascularity for a younger guy. You ever posted any other pics?

Does that mean I am going to get more vascular than this...

Mine lol...No can do bro...

The owner is wayyyy too close right now....

Well, from personal experience, yes you will get way more vascular. Old farts like me who have been at it for decades can get pretty freaky. Little kids come up and poke at my leg veins when I wear shorts. People stare and whisper. That's ok. The freakier the better as far as I'm concerned.
I saw Yates pose years ago........he was one ugly awesome freaky muthafuker.
