You either misunderstood me or I didn't communicate effectively.
I did not intend suggest that 400mg per week was a common dosage for HRT. What I meant was: common dosage for a bridge is 200-400mg, AND THAT, the concept is similar to HRT in that you stay on test to keep levels up. Yes, 400mg is a common bridge dosage for many. For example, 400mg is doggcrapp recommended bridge amount. His reasoning is simple: if 200mg keeps you in normal range, then, for abnormal muscle you need to be higher than that, so run 400mg. Further, a doctor on this board has confirmed to me that many run at this bridge amount. Plus, if your cycling around 2 grams, going down to 200mg doesn't sound like much, does it?? Again, I'm not advocating this, merely pointing out what I know many do.
More on the bridging thing:
Test is by far most common and I think probably the best to use. That being said, oxan could be used effectively, as deca probably could as well. I wouldn't use any others. Both of these compounds are used in some cases for HRT, so, at least some in the medical community believe they are safe and effective for long-term use.
But the old addage probably applies...."test is best"......
Let me also say: I'm talking about a "longer-term" bridge, ie more than a few weeks. This is a different concept than the dbol bridge concept, thus I didn't include dbol above.
