Do you agree with this statement?

If you are seeking more mass, the key is not to combine compounds like so many think, but rather to up your dosage of testosterone, the king of all mass builders.

Test yes


BUT------love that primo, it stays with me for ever.

You can't put near as much mass on with primo that you can with test. But you will lose most of your mass when you stop the test, if you ever do stop. But you won't lose all, so why not go with test, since it's much cheaper.

Nope! I gain about the same on 600mgs test as i do 1gram

I rather use 2-3 compounds

hmmmm. I need to talk to you. I'm just going by what I've been reading by the so called experts. You're going to use EQ in your next cycle? Will you gain more mass on 500mgs of test combined with 500 mgs of EQ than you would on 1000mgs of test alone?

Most people agree that 2 compounds stacked give better results than test alone at double the dosage.

To answer your question, 500mg of test with 400mg of deca would yeild better results than 900mg of test for most people.

When you say better results, do you mean more size? I ran test/deca and was leaner and more cut, but when I run test alone, I am bigger and stronger.
 
I respond well to test, so I definitely could do a cycle of just test. But, test is hard on my hairline, so I never go too heavy on it and stack it with something else.

Water I presume.

Like I said before, everyone is different. My experience shows me MOST people respond better to multiple compounds rather than a high dosage of test alone.

No one can ever say "everyone" will have certain results. Every one of us is different, and will respond differently to different things. What might make you grow might not do anything for me, and vice versa.
 
I found this on another forum some time back. Sadly, I can't remember where so can't give credit to the original author.


Steroids: What the Heck are They Anyway?

Anabolic steroids are synthetic analogs or derivatives of Testosterone and nor-testosterone. In the 1930s, scientists found that these anabolic steroids could increase the growth of muscle in lab animals. The compounds were then used to treat debilitating diseases in humans.

In the 1950s, a doctor, John Ziegler had dispensed an oral anabolic steroid by the name of Dianabol. Soon after, athletes began to use this steroid in order to increase muscle mass and strength. Soon, more and more analogs and derivatives were being made available to athletes.

While all steroids have the same four ring carbon structure, simple chemical alterations produced different effects in terms of anabolic/androgenic activity. Anabolic activity refers to the steroid's ability to facilitate skeletal muscle growth, while androgenic activity refers to how potent the drug is at inducing the development of male sexual characteristics (facial hair, deep voice, the ability to channel surf and watch six TV programs at once, etc.)


How They do Dat?

Now, even though all of the exact mechanisms through which anabolic steroids exert their effects haven't been discovered, they all increase muscle mass to some degree. One way steroids are believed to work is by binding to the androgen receptor (AR). Once the steroid has bound to the AR, it begins to activate protein synthesis. This protein synthesis allows for an increase in muscle tissue over a rather short period of time. T-mag contributor Bill Roberts has classified steroids such as these as "Class I."

The other side of the coin would be steroids that bind to the AR slightly, or not at all. I think most of these steroids exert their effects by inhibiting the effects that glucocorticoids have upon muscle tissue. In other words, they prevent glucocorticoids from increasing glutamine synthetase and causing muscle tissue breakdown. This would be an anti-catabolic activity. This inhibition of glucocorticoidsÂą effects may explain why most anabolic steroids work fairly well in the treatment of osteoperosis, since glucocorticoids can have influence or cause osteoperosis. This also backs up my belief, that on a mg per mg basis, Class II steroids will increase muscle tissue to a greater degree than Class I steroids.

While there still isn't a clear cut explanation of how anabolic steroids exert their effects, these two mechanisms help to explain most steroid actions. Bill Roberts refers to these steroids that don't exert their effects via the AR as "Class II." Also, keep in mind that some steroids work via the AR as well as through non-AR mechanisms. It should also be noted that anabolic steroids increase the retention of nitrogen, potassium, sodium, phosphorous, and chloride.


Steroid Flavors: The differences between various 'roids

Below I've compiled a list of some anabolic steroids, including their relative potency and some other info. Sometimes, the names of steroids can be confusing to a newbie. This is because you have the chemical name, the various brand names, and the slang or street names for each product.

For example, methandrostenolone is known to most people as Dianabol, but you probably hear it referred to as D-bol. Of course, you'll likely be using the veterinary version called Reforvit-B, whose street name is Reffie or Reffie-B. Got all that? Don't worry, the more you read the more you get used to all the terminology. To help you out, I've listed the chemical name as well as a few of the trade names for each 'roid.


Fluoxymesterone (Halotestin, Stenox)

This is a 17-alpha alkylated steroid. In other words, it's been altered in order to withstand the liver's "first pass" metabolism to a better degree, i.e., the liver doesn't inactivate the stuff before it can exert its effects. Without this alkylation, you'd need much higher concentrations to get results, as is the case with any 17-AA. Anyhow, this steroid appears to have a lower affinity for the AR, but can agonize the receptor at higher dosages.

As far as "real world" effects, fluoxymesterone has a reputation for increasing strength to a large degree. However, gains in muscle mass on this steroid aren't very great. In clinical settings, dosages range from 2.5 mg to 40 mg a day in divided dosages. However, bodybuilders have been known to use from 30 to 80 mg per day. It has a half-life of approximately 9.2 to 10 hours. (I'll talk about why knowing about half-lives is important later.) Oh yeah, and it doesn't aromatize. This means it's not likely to convert to estrogen, the female hormone. In the real world, that means the risk getting gyno (bitch tits, i.e. breast tissue growth in males) is small to nonexistent.


Methandrostenolone (Dianabol, Reforvit, Anabol)

This 17-AA steroid was the first to be introduced to athletes in the 50s. Bodybuilders caught on soon after, no doubt. It's aromatizable, and therefore can increase estrogen levels. Since it doesn't bind very well to the AR, it's thought that it works by antagonizing the effects of catabolic glucocorticoids.

D-bol has a great reputation for increasing both size and strength to a pretty good degree. While the half life isn't readily available in the literature, it can be assumed through deductive reasoning that it's around four to seven hours. Bodybuilders typically use around 25 to 100 mg per day depending on whether it's used alone or in conjunction with another steroid (a practice called stacking).


Stanozolol (Winstrol)

This steroid is also17-AA. It can't aromatize and doesn't bind very well to the AR. Consequently, it's likely to exert its anabolic effects in a similar fashion to that of methandrostenolone. In other words, it affects glucocorticoids in a beneficial manner.

Another benefit may be its ability to antagonize or block progesterone from binding to receptors. Progesterone is one of the reasons why certain anabolics cause water retention.

Stanozolol has a great reputation for increases in strength as well as moderate increases in muscle mass. Actually, these "moderate" gains are rather impressive, considering that this drug doesn't cause much water retention. In clinical settings, typical dosages are between 2 to 6 mg daily. In order to see desired effects, bodybuilders typically consume between 25 to 100 mg daily. While I can't locate any literature on its half-life, based on its molecular composition it would seem to have a slightly longer half-life than most of the other orals. I'd say it's likely to be in the range of 7 to15 hours.
Oxandrolone (sold as oxandrolone powder or Oxandrolona)

This is yet another 17-AA. It won't aromatize but appears as though it will bind to the AR as long as the dosages are high enough. It has a reputation for increasing strength gains, as well as having a "hardening" effect. This is supported somewhat, as oxandrolone was shown to reduce subcutaneous fat to a greater degree than Testosterone. Whether this is an inherent property of all 17-AA steroids or an effect that's unique to oxandrolone, I'm not sure.

Oxandrolone, along with most of the other synthetic steroids, are thought to be equally (if not more) anabolic than Testosterone on a milligram per milligram basis, while minimizing androgenic side effects. Oxandrolone was shown to have approximately six times the anabolic effect of methyltestosterone in human subjects, following oral doses. Oxandrolone may also increase the number of skeletal muscle androgen receptors.

In clinical settings, dosages have ranged from 1.25 to 80 mg per day. Bodybuilders may take anywhere from 25 to 160 mg per day. The half-life is approximately nine hours.


Methenolone Acetate and Enanthate (Primobolan)

This steroid doesn't aromatize and can either be ingested via the acetate version or injected via the enanthate. This steroid does bind rather well to the AR and is known for its mild gains in muscle mass. Still, considering that it'll cause next to zero water retention, these gains are rather good. (Note that some bodybuilders think certain steroids work better based solely on the weight they gain. In actuality, they could be just retaining a lot of water along with the muscle gains. These are the same guys who think they "lose" a lot of muscle after their cycle is completed, when they actually just lost much of the water they'd been holding.)

Clinical dosages that are commonly seen with methenolone range from 10 to 20 mg daily, sometimes a little higher for the oral version. For the enanthate version, dosages are usually 100 mg every two to four weeks. Bodybuilders typically use 400 to 1000 mg a week. The half-life appears to be very similar to Deca, perhaps slightly shorter. So with this in mind, I'd say the half-life would be around five to seven days.


Oxymetholone (Anadrol)

This 17-AA steroid can't aromatize, but has been known to have progestenic properties and thus, can cause water retention. It has a great reputation for increasing muscle mass and strength to a large degree. It's also thought to have a very high anabolic/androgenic ratio.

The typical dosage in clinical settings is one to five milligrams per kilogram of bodyweight per day. So, a 150 pound person would consume anywhere from 68 to 341 mg per day. However, the higher dosages aren't employed that often. Bodybuilders typically consume around 50 to 150 mg per day. While I can't find info on the half-life in the formal literature, it would seem it's similar to that of stanozolol. Obviously, this isn't a hard fact, but the half-life should be right in the neighborhood of 7 to15 hours. Only God and Bill Roberts know for sure.


Testosterone Enanthate, Cypionate, Propionate, Suspension (commonly called "T")

This steroid can aromatize and binds well to the AR. It's well known for its ability to produce great gains in muscle size and strength, provided that the dosages are high enough. It does cause quite a bit of water retention and has quite a few side effects when compared to the other anabolics.

Clinical dosages vary, but cypionate and enanthate are both injected every two to three weeks at dosages of around 200 to 300 mg. Propionate and suspension aren't preferred as they don't provide that long of a sustained release. Bodybuilders typically use around 500 to 1,000 mg per week. The cypionate ester has a half-life of around eight days. Enanthate is just slightly shorter and propionate is quite a bit shorter. By the way, Testosterone in a suspension has a half-life of only 10 to 100 minutes.


Nandrolone Decanoate and Laurate (usually referred to as Deca)

This steroid binds very well to the AR and doesn't aromatize. It can produce moderate gains in muscle mass with little water retention. However, it, like oxymetholone, can be progestenic leading to water retention when higher dosages are used.

In clinical settings, dosages are around 50 to 100 mg every three to four weeks. Bodybuilders use around 300 to 800 mg per week. The decanoate ester has a half-life of six to eight days and the laurate ester commonly seen in veterinary products has a slightly longer half-life.


How do I get these here steer-oids anyway?

Easy! Just call 1-555-I WANNA TO BE HYOOGE and tell Gunter what you want! Tell him Cy sent ya! Okay, you knew I couldn't give you a real source, right? Still, it doesn't take much searching to find some gear. Searching on the Web is one way, or you can do it the old fashioned and usually more expensive way and look for one of the local dealers. I mean don't go up to the largest guy in the gym and say in a loud voice, "Hey man, do you have any of that Reforvit stuff?" Just ask around in a discrete manner. Someone always knows a certain "guy." For a more in depth look, check out Chris Shugart's article called Getting the Gear.


How to Construct a Cycle:

The dosages should be determined after evaluating two things: one, what results you'd like to see and two, which drugs you're stacking. There are other factors to consider, but for the sake of simplicity we'll stick with these two for now.

Regardless of what type of results you're looking for, it would be wise to stack two drugs that work through different mechanisms in order to get a synergistic effect. For instance, you'd get better results by stacking nandrolone with stanozolol as opposed to nandrolone and oxandrolone. This is because nandrolone and oxandrolone both bind to the AR.
 
before all my surgery, i hit 515x2 on the BP, all i ever took was test.............it's great for strength.
 
I have noticed that for me its all the same shit..say what you want.... 1.5g of test / week will give exactly almost 2x the gains/power of 500 mg

Although more is not neccesarily better.
I find it so amusing when some people on this board say "well im taking a gram of stuff"
Ok, but 1 gram of test vs 1 gram of deca or 1 gram of eq or 1 gram of TREN will all give difeerent results becouse of th esimple fact that some medications are very potent milligram for milligram while others are simply not(they are mild)

One can easily be missled, 1 gran of tren per week is A VERY VERY VERY STRONG AND POTENT AS WELL AS POTTENTIALY HARMFULL CYCLE vs.1 gram of test per week is a normal dosage which can be taken for extended periods of time and will generaly yield much lower gains then 1g tren per week.
I thru time have personally gone with the school of thougth that there is no such thing as Receptor downgrading.....even when i am on for a very long period of tim eon juice it effects me the same all the time..and same thing next time i do it.....i find the whole receptor downgrade/ diferent receptors for diferent agents somewhat of BS. I consider all juice the same. I find that it all works prety much to the same effect....some are more androgenic while some are more anabolic....some are more toxic while some can be safe to take yr round......the thing they all have in common is that the more you do of each up to a certain point the more results you will achieve( of course after a certain point the risks and side effects outweigh the gains)
My personal ideal cycle is Testosterone and Deca or Eq...All have 1. minimal side effects(for most people) , 2. Produce great gains. 3. can be used for long periods of time.

I personaly have found it is much bette rto go with milder juices at higher doses and over longer periods of time , then to do highly toxic juices like orals and tren(the most sides of almost all) for shorter periods of time.

Just my 002
 
As i progress in lifting i am actually using lower doses, untill i find th elowest dose tha t will still allow me to reach the goal i am going for. By reading that post please do not think i am recomending taking unreasonable and unneeded dosages.

WTF? Tren is not the mass builder that test is. Nothing is.
 
With all due respect, i think anyone who has used both will tell you that Tren is much more potent(and toxic ) Mg for MG vs. test.
 
And there is no such thing as "mass builder" or "cutting drug"
1. People call juices that aromatize and make you gain watter mass builders. (Ex...Test,deca,Dbol etc)
2. People call drugs that do not make you gain watter and do not aromatize but sometimes actually suck some watter out of your joints etc, or increase red blood cells "cutting drugs". (Ex....Eq, Tren, Winny, etc)
3. There is only 2 big things about juice that determine how effective they (ussualy) are. 1 is the Anabolix index of the drug...and 2nd is the Androgenic index of the drug.

Now there are of course other factors involved directly such as absorption, 17aa manipulation, however the aforementioned are the basics and keys.

Peace

Well talk then...... I had much rather do 500mg test 500mg EQ and 15mg dbol any day than test alone!

Much more quality muscle mass!

RADAR
 
I agree with the original post. For me, at least, I was at my biggest when I just ran 800mg/week of test enth. I was my hardest and best looking on 100mg/day fina and 30mg/day winny, but that was after I'd put on the mass with test. I get more gains from 1g test than from 500test/500 eq. But, I don't get jack from deca, and I get more strength from winny than dbol, so I know my body is weirder than most :)
