"Pyramiding" Revisted

[Nelson Montana]

I know going up in dosage and tapering down is no longer the accepted method and there really isn't any scientific evidence to suggest it's better/worse/or no different than just sticking with one dosage throughout.

However...

From a strictly logical standpoint it really does make sense.

Think about it.

As soon as you have extra androgen your body is working at a heightened rate to rebuild muscle. So why do more than necessary? You're already ahead of the game.

Meanwhile, it takes some time for the compounds to build up at which point there's always some tolerance -- call it receptor down regulation or whatever, the body becomes less responsive over time to any exogenous influx so "upping" the dosages a couple of weeks in to make the most of the effect makes sense as well.

Tapering down the dosage has its merits too because it gives the body the signal that it can't depend of the external source and it'd more likely to start producing more of its natural T on its own.

This, of course, is all speculation and any retort to it will be speculation as well. It just seems like the old school "common sense" approach to cycling may not be such a bad idea after all.

I've always used the pyramid method. It seems to work for me.

I still think the Pyramids were built by Aliens.

How 'bout the head statues on Easter Island?

They were all on GH - hence the big heads

That's some funny shit.

They have statues that give head?? How strange.

The pyramids were built by Mexicans?





I can see this topic won't be debated seriously. Still, it makes sense. I can't see why it WOULDN'T work.

It's fallen out of favor...I agree...and I know why I don't think it works...but I wonder if that's why it's fallen out of favor or if people are just following the heard on this one...?

That's exactly it. So much of this stuff is just what's in vouge. That's why it's a good idea to take a step back now and then and reconsider some techniques that have fallen out of favor. Pyramiding may not be fashionable but personally, I like the approach. I'd be curious to hear how it works out for others.
