+ 6 Your ideal Test dose on a blast?

Question for you all. At what point do you believe you’re getting the most bang for your buck out of your Test dose before it just becomes more side effects without added benefit?

Same overall sentiment. Obviously depends on the contents of said “blast”, but as an average top of the scale that’s about it for me.
I’m all for less is more nowadays. I’m super sensitive to RBC increases (can’t even look at DHB), so even with solely high test doses my blood will be purple and thick. Always giggle hearing them let out “ooohhhs” and “aaahhhhs” when they draw my blood.
I’m the same way. A few of the old school guys used to keep the test low and run things like Tren and primo higher than test. I ran Tren E 400 mgs and test e at 250mgs and I have to say, it was the best I’ve ever looked. I can’t do that with primo but currently I plan on running a 1:1 ratio and will try to push it to 500 mgs to see if primo can keep the test sides at bay. If not, I have no problems with running low doses as they’ve always been manageable and sustainable for me.
Jrihard89You’re spot on anything over 700 bloats and make me feel crappy and E2 sky rockets.
Do the most test you can handle without sides! 700 allows you to do a lot. 300-400npp, 300-400 DHB, etc.
I am with you there lol I feel like anything about 7 and I blow up holding water and my estrogen symptoms start to get wild.
I don’t get the bloat because I don’t really covert estrogen like that. Everybody is different though. At a gram a week I get big AF!!! When they say more isn’t better which ostrue for some stuff but for me it makes me big. When I add other compounds I don’t respond good to them. So instead of running 500 mgs of test and 400 mgs of deca I’ll run 900 mgs of test. Less sides and no deca dick and better gains.ypur running the same mgs but only one compound instead of two. Just works better for me that way. I start at 500 mgs a week after a month 750 after three more weeks 900 mgs
100% everyone is different. As long as you feel good and it’s working do it.
This is a hard question because every person reacts differently and produces different amounts of estro
Looks like 600mgs is tops for me. Was running 600mgs with no sides the first 7 weeks of my most recently blast. Decided to up to 750mgs for the next few weeks and BP dramatically increased. Dropped back down to 600mgs to finish out the blast and BP came back into normal range.
3/400
650-700 is about as high as I go before I feel like I don't get anymore benefit and the sides get worse. Really also depends on what other compounds I am running with my test.
750 mg lately
500-650
500mg nowadays
Jrihard896-700 is my fav spot
400mg is about my max, anything more I just start having issues with blood, water retention, exc... when causing I find 200mg my sweet spot. I still get good gains and all at 400mg and especially when I ad in other stuff like DHB or Tren.
500-700
450+ for me mixed with another compound
750 mgs and last two weeks 900. No AI. I don’t really make a lot of estrogen
Really?!?? Damn, I’ve never used that amount. E2 has always been a problem for me but currently bf % it’s the lowest it has been in years so hopping that changes it. I’ll know next blood work
I never get estrogen sides. Never. I also never get fat no matter what I eat so I have to eat way more than anybody does does for mass. I never ran a cut cycle. Not even once. I stay cut throughout a mass cycle. I also don’t run and steroid compounds except test anymore. They do t do anything for me. I might throw in ment for a month but very rarely. I tried EQ for the last time a week ago and never again. I make 0 gains from it
350 to 400
Ive always ran 400mg but wanted to give 800 a try. While I dont feel stronger or any different with sides, I can say I finally broke my 230lbs barrier. I sit around 235 now and will sometimes play with 237. Getting labs done tomorrow so ill see any silent sides that mightve crept up on me.
I respond really well at lower doses. I ran up to 600mg and noticed water retention and a bit of moon face. Lately been around 350-400mg and I look and feel great.
I like to stay under 400. Im usually running a couple things. I like the test to be high enough to be pulling some of the anabolic weight but not too much where i get too many test sides.
