If you train hard and eat heavy, you will make sick gains. Going from 500 mg to a gram will probably not yield any signifigantly higher gains for you at this point. You'll just gain more water, have more side effects and spend more $$$. On my second cycle (my first was a cutting cycle for my first show) I went from 185 ibs to 230. I went from benching 315 for 3 or 4 reps to handling 405 for reps. I was on a massive 250 mg of test a week and 200 mg of deca a week for 10 weeks. The trick is, I ate about 6000 cals a day (ate 3 ibs of steak every day too) and trained harder than I had ever trained before. The key is in your diet and training. I spent pennies on that cycle, had no sides outside of a little acne and some bloat. No testicular atrophy. No gyno. No hairloss, and 4 weeks after my cycle my test level was back to around 800 ng/dl, so I didn't have to deal with being suppressed for months because I did a gram of test. You really should listen to these some of the advice being given. If not, then why bother to ask for it?
hey bro, those are some huge gains on your first bulking cycle. but just because you made those gains on such a low dose doesn't mean i will though. possible? yes. but some can run 250mg and not gain. if i run 1g i will be sure to gain some solid muscle, and i wont have to second guess myself. the thing i would hate is doing a light cycle and not gaining as much as i hope and then have to wait another 10 weeks before i can touch aas. 10 weeks is a long time, so i would like to make some great gains my first cycle. as for being shut down, 1g wont really shut you down more than 500mg. 4g and 500mg will both shut you down completley, the additional test wont shut me down any further if i am already shut down, as long as i dont run it for a longer period of time.
