Hey Folks,

I'm new to posting here but have read plenty over the last no of months. Not new to weight training either, training several years.

I have finished a Test C cycle just recently. I'm in PCT. I based alot of what I did for my cycle on information from here and from other sources also so thanks.

I used Test C 250mg/ml. I thought it was excellent stuff and I was getting stronger and bigger within 1 week of starting my cycle.

I am 35, almost 36. I lift for strength and power primarily but who doesn't want to get bigger also . . .closet bodybuilders as Jim Wendler calls us.

My point is about the amount of Test people are using in their first cycles.

I pinned .7ml X 2 a week. 350mg total. I used no AI, I had it to hand in case. I ran the cycle for 11 weeks as this worked into my training cycles . . I use undulating periodisation.

I saw MASSIVE results with almost no sides with just 350mg a week of Test C . Increased body hair was my worst side . .some bloat of course but nothing major.

I added 16/17 lbs of good body weight, my body fat % is lower now than at the start . . .some of the weight will be water but plenty isn't . . .and I added over over 25kg to some of my lifts. Asthetics are not a big deal for me . ..I favour strength over being cut or ripped.

I am training a good few years . . .I'm an intermediate lifter, my lifts were at max levels . . .to add 25kg to a squat and a deadlift in 11 weeks is huge . . . .Do some people comprehend that at all . . .do they know how hard an intermediate - advanced natty lifter works training cycle after training cycle month in month out, year after year to add a few kg here and there to a lift . . .

There seems to be a lack of appreciation among some of the posts i read before my cycle for how much of a gain or boost this is . . .

My point is not to necessarily run out and start a 600mg a week Test cycle . . .you can get great gains from less and the great thing is i have loads of room left to add Test to my following cycles before getting to silly levels. I can get 3 or 4 cycles before i will have to hit 600. I'm not at a gram a week on my 3d cycle and dealing with sides etc

So just think imo . .thats all I want to say . . .350mg a week gave me great results and gives me great scope now into the future.

Why 350? I based alot of it on these pieces of research.

The last one Bashin is a great piece of work. I found those pieces of research through Greg Nuckols blog.

Thats my 2c anyway.
