A friend on the forum suggested to up the doseage every 4 weeks to break the plateaus. example; 250mg the 500mg then 750, then start dosing down for the PCT (I like to dose down rather than cut off)
Why not raise the dose at the time when you actually hit a plateau?
There are certain compounds that I have NEVER hit a plateau with. Id be an idiot to raise the dose just because its the 4th week.
dont think so. its still testosterone just different ester.would it be better to add a different test like prop to the mix.
There is no real reason to dose down. Esters are self tapering.
You're going to stall in weeks 8-9 even if you go up. Unless you go way up by doubling as Jello posted. Your body will increase the myostatin to stop your growth around the 8th week and taking more AS isn't really an effective counter for this. You'll just make more myostatin. If you wait it out your body will "give up" on the myostatin by week 16-20.
Can you point me to the literature on this?
You can breathe now. It's not new at all.^ I wouldnt hold your breath but I'm open to hearing about entirely new studies also
OK so myostatin levels increase around week 8. I dont think that shows anything other than a correlation and not a very strong one at that. I would say most people's gains stall by week 8 because they do not increase the hormone therapy in conjunction with increasing their caloric intake.
Its usually the more simple answer that is the correct one.
Can you point me to the literature on this?
So the study says myostatin is highest around week 8, and then by week 16-20 it drops back down. Interesting..
I wonder why exactly that happends? And if it starts to raise again after week 16, or just stays there perminantly.
So I guess this suggests keeping cycles to 8 weeks or less (or just running very very long ones) is the best for gains..
