Thread: to up or not to up dose?

Make sure that you diet contains enough calories and nutrients to support your normal growth plus your AAS growth. If you are not eating enough taking more gear wont help you get bigger. I got good gains(LBM increase with fat loss)without using AAS by fine tuning my diet. I look forward to my first cycle tho. Im almost there

How many calories are you eating , imo 500 Is perfect for your first cycle, but if that test is burning a hole in your pocket just go to 600 no reason to jump to 750, if it isn't broke dont fix it, and remember EAT EAT EAT

From experience, would this be okay or should i just finish at 500? my weight gain has leveled off a bit and i wanna get anything possible in this cycle. what do you think? if i go 750 should i just do 2 injections of 375mg or 3 injections of 250? its test cyp btw

I would only bump up if 500mg a week is no longer yielding gains. No reason to put more drugs into your body if you are still gaining. You'll just have to use even more on your next cycle.

I wouldn't change your dosage. For your first cycle 500mg/wk is good enough. Changing the dosage mid-cycle will offset your endogenous level of Test and you probably would get sides.

At week 6 you should have only really been noticing improvement in weight and strength for the past two weeks. No way you have leveled out already, especially since this is your first cycle.

You need to stick with 500mg and try and get a hold of some extra calories, not extra test.

For someone that has everything else in line bumping the dosage is a good idea mid cycle but not for you.

Not sure what the guy above is talking about and I don't think he does either.

Ur test just started kicking in how u figure gains are leveling off
Patience my friend. Try to get ur hands on some extra food

I like to up my test dose around week 7 if its cyp or enanthate to keep gains rolling.

Maybe you should lengthen your cycle instead of moving it up since it is your first cycle.

Just my 2 cents

I can agree with you HI but please remember that OP is running his first cycle.

IMO, OP should keep the dose at 500mg and increase the calories. The last thing you want to do is miss a growth phase but using more AAS than needed.
