newbie question

[SinfulCJ]

Hey guys, I need some advice. Over the last few years that I've been working out, I've discovered that my body responds better to "high rep, low weight" workouts. I've tried "high weight, low rep", and it just doesn't work for me. Mostly, I think, because I have a very lean, skinny body/frame (6'1", 180 lbs.), and too much weight doing squats hurts my knees, too much weight on the bench press hurts my wrists, and too much weight on curls hurts my forearms.......anyway, you get the picture.

Because of that, I tend to do the "high rep, low weight" thing, and it has been working out great over the last few years, though it probably does limit my potential gains.

Now, doing a normal first cycle like I had planned (dbol/eq/test) may not work very well for me, because of the obvious quick strength gains that are made, I don't think that my body will be able to accomodate that.

So I'm thinking that I will need to cycle something that will get me some slower and more steady gains and that will give my body more time to respond and to acclimate to the higher weights.

What do you guys think of lower doses at longer lengths of time? How about 200 mg/week of test enanthate for 14 or 16 weeks? Would that produce slower and more steady gains with the workout that I do?

This is very important to me, so any advice would be much appreciated.

If you want slower gains try doing eq @ 600mg/week by itself, or just test/eq and forget about dbol.

concerning your joint pain and worry of gains coming on too fast i would not be worried. just keep training like you normally do and dont try to max out everyday. steroids are not going to just give you imediate out of control strength(unfortunatly). you want a good solid first cycle do test cyp or enan 250/500 mg per week for 8/10 weeks. it will likely take several weeks for you to notice any major strength and size gains(aside from water retention)and will result in some solid gains. do a search on clomid post cycle and make your own choice on that(i dont use it ever). good luck

Yeha I would drop the dbol and just go with the test and EQ. By the way what are your planned dosages and length?

nah..just go with 400mg of EQ with 30mg of var ed

 

[SinfulCJ]

Was thinking about 400 mg/week of EQ and 400 mg/week of test for about 10 weeks. But do you guys think that I could get relatively the same results from a 200 mg/week of test for 14-16 weeks?

Drop the dball if you are worried about that. You won't become a huge overnight. Gains are still slow even taking AAS.
