decrease dose????

[bigerisbetter]

my last cycle was my 5th and my stats are 5"10" 230lb 15%bf, my cycle looked like this

wk 1-8 1100mg test/wk
wk 1-8 700mg deca/wk
wk 1-3 60mg d-bol ed

I was wondering if I could cut the doses down on my next cycle and still have good gains? or does your body need the same amount of juice to grow?

i would drop the test to 600 to 700mg tops!!!!! deca at 400mg and dbol to 40mg ed.

Nice recommendation to drop the dose, but it might be hard to maintain decent size with the lower dose. You can say all you want about training harder, diet, etc. - fact is that those with poor to average genetics have a choice if they want to be very large: more juice, or more BF.

In a perfect world, everyone would be 250 ripped on low doses. In this guy's (real) world, the doses might be about right. I'd drop the deca to 500, maybe.

There is a world of difference between a "big guy" who goes from 210 to 230 and drops a bit of BF on the way than a small guy 160 or so who has to go through several phases of getting used to the new size. For that smaller guy 230 is a pretty amazing accomplishment no matter how you slice it, and he might need to increase his doses to get there.

I guess I'm not convinced that lower doses are going to cut it for everyone. I have friends who are walking around at 5'11" 260 without ever having touched juice, but (a) they're fat and don't know it and (b) were born big that way.

Hmm, didn't see the 15% part though. Thought I saw 11%. Maybe you aren't to the size yet where your doses need to be that big. You could probably do to adjust your diet and maintain the same weight at a lower BF - and this might not require 2 grams total steroid/wk!
