Sorry I meant 20/20/10/10. Some say to taper it, others say you can hop off at 20. Currently weigh in at 170lbs at 5' 6" btw and still have room to grow (cycle is proposed to start in late january to early Feb to make any needed adjustments you guys advise)
How much Testosterone for a first cycle..? at 77kgs..
There's been a discussion on another site, its not too scientifically written but makes some generally good points:
OP.1:The age old debate, Why is it that in most medical studies they always take bodyweight or at least LBM into consideration when determining a dosage but you never see that mentioned in bodybuilding circles. Obviously a person with 120kgs of muscle mass will have approximately double the blood volume of someone that is 60kgs which would mean that the same amount of test ie 500mgs would be more diluted in the heavier person. And isn't it the concentration of the compound in the blood that matters? That's why when you get a blood test its how many ngs per dl of blood they measure. Not the total amount of steroid in your body, not that they could anyway.
I would be more likely to recommend a dosing scheme like 4mg/kg/ of LBM a week. Using that formula someone that's 70kgs with 12% bodyfat would have 61.5kgs LBM. So they would be recommended 246mgs, rounded to 250mgs, of test a week which is in line with most conservative suggestions.
However, for someone that is 120kgs at 18% bodyfat, they would have a LBM of 100kgs which would equate to 400mgs for their first cycle. This should result in the same concentration of hormones in the bloodstream as the 70kg person doing 250mgs.
OP.2: Well... I used 250mg of sustanon250 per week for my first cycle and went from 76kg to 84kg. I 84kg I was a lower bodyfat % than what I was at 76kg also.
if you train like a useless sack of shit and have no clue then use 500mg, if you train hard and are intelligent then use 250mg per week for first cycle and if your in the middle take 375mg lol. Simple.
250mg per week of testosterone even after you minus the ester weight is still far higher than what a natural male in the upper echelon of testosterone levels produces. You know how many fold you will increase your testosterone on 500mg/week lol. I know athletes who use 100mg/week of Pfizer testosterone cypionates and have faster recovery and higher test levels than previously had. They didn't have low test before either. They use that amount to get an advantage. Bodybuilders use the highest dosage of steroids out of all sports ppl that dope. A small dose for them is a massive dose for others.
250mg plenty. The problem is your 250mg of ug test may not be 250mg/ml or you are an idiot it's one of two reasons you will not gain.
