Hey hackskii, nice seeing ya around bro
I can't add anything else to this thread that hasn't already been stated. Even through the heated parts of the thread, I found it an interesting read. Lots of good posts here imo, whether you agree or not.
Big Bapper, sorry, I know you asked me a question on page 1, but i've had computer problems at home, and my work connection is sensitive with their security filter
I have had the opportunity to see some cycles posted by some strongmen and powerlifters from the board I moderate at, and there are some National and World ranked competitors there posting. As for dosing, it's the same as bodybuilding for many of the users. Some can use small amounts and others can use large amounts, and/or need larger amounts.
I generally do not frown on a some large dose cycles as long as the user is responsible and takes the correct precautions. There is just never anything written in stone when it comes to this stuff, i'll say something is totally safe, but they'll always be somebody that might respond negatively, so responsible trial and error are very important imo, as well as understanding what you are doing and getting into before even starting and taking anything.
I don't turn my head on those that like to 'experiment' as i've learned a ton by doing that myself over the years. However, a lot of the users just wanting to look good for the beach, etc....they can do what they want, and i'll not criticize, but most can get away with low-moderate doses for their intended goals imo.
I agree with what Dante stated in hoping that large dosers never blame the AAS compounds for something they know is a risk, but I think a lot of us are on that same page as well.
I'm kind of all over the place on this reply, as i'm doing it from my job and kind of in a hurry before my lunch break, so I may not have worded some stuff exactly like intended
I know that a lot of powerlifters, and again I only can speak for the ones I have collaborated with, will just run between 2-500mg per week as a "cruise dose" between meets. Anywhere between 6-12 weeks, they pick it up A LOT! Again, some do not hardly anything as well.
Because they only have 1-2 meets per year, the higher dosed regimine doesn't effect them too much since it is only a short time that they use those higher doses....much like the young man here that is posting from the UK....btw, nice post my man.
I can give you a typical cycle from one of our members and his lift number totals if anybody wants me too???? He's posted it openly over the board already for all to see. I will not give his name, or maybe even his board name, but he wouldn't mind me posting his stats if anybody finds it of interest to read????
Take it easy, and thanks for the reading
