Testosterone: Can there be too much?

[Alpine]

I just read a thread about using a gram of test and the effects. One of the first comments said something about using too much and possibly wasting the gear. My question is how do you know how much is too much? I mean if you have used 500mg before and on another cycle tried 750. Sooo should the next one go to the full G? Is there an optimal amount for a relative beginner? I doubt you would recommend a first time user to use a gram right? How about after a couple cycles? How do you figure out what is the right dosage to use?

Would it matter how long it's been since you had that much testosterone in your body last? How fresh your receptors are?

BUMP! Does anybody have ANY comments on this?

It all depends on your own body...how willing your receptor sites are to accept test. Plus you need to know the half life for different steroids. Say you are taking sus(half life of four weeks) and 750mg/week, by week four you have around 3000mg of sus floating around in your blood. Are you receptor sites saturated at this point? Possibly, you will tell, depending on gains. I think we all know what happens to unused test thats in your bloodstream... estrogen?(also the point of taking Novaldex) Of course you wont kill yourself with these dosages, but you might be throwing your money away.

i think u gotta up your dose every time u do it. i went from 250mgs a week now to 1 gram a week i tried 500mgs twice and the second time i gained shit off it- lexus

Some people have used test alot and never raised dosages and still make gains.
I guess it is an individual thing but I am no expert.

Are you sure your gear was totally legit?

I haven't done a cycle in about a year. So I'm assuming that front loading for 2 weeks with 750mg enanthate and then going through the rest of the cycle with 500mg/week will do my body justice. I used 500mg/week during the last one. I hope I'm not wasting anything.

I did 2 half assed cycles over the past couple of years. I say half assed because of lack of knowledge. The last one consisted of 8 weeks of enanthate, 4 weeks of dbol and 2 weeks of winny. The only problem is I used no clomid ( thats where the lack of knowledge plays a role.)
