I start mine where I'm going to be for the entire cycle except, d-bol. I am a d-bol junkie so I stay on it the entire cycle & then some. I taper my d-bol at the end mostly so that I cna make sure I am ready for clomid. I wouldn't start low then go up unless, it's something new & you're not sure how you'll react to it. Just use common sense & be safe about it.
