I dont see a problem upping it to 30 bud, just be sure to also up your water and your carbs and you should be fine. The most important thing is to listen to your body and it will tell you what to do. The only real negative side I had from the BEAST was bad tenderness in my elbows, but I'm not sure if it was from the steroid or if it was just from my body not being use to pushing so much extra weight in such a short period of time( if that makes sense ). It was def worth it though!!!!
