These general rules statements with actual dose per lb body weight I think are misguided. There is just too much biological variation. For instance, a good friend of mine is dry, hard and strong on 1500 mg/w sustanon and 1800 mg/w EQ as his base. If I did that I would be a blue sweaty water bag with molasses for blood. i think we are all better finding our own personal sweet spots for each defined purpose. Back in the days when I wanted to put on size it was Test/nandrolone/Equipoise. Shit just worked, 35 lbs in 6 - 8 weeks. REcomp is a different story. Cut is a different story. To just say a gram/w of masteron and 300 mg/w as a general application is just stupid. Also Patrick Arnold's supposed notion that all AAS work the same and at the AR is incorrect. They all metabolize to different compounds and all of them, as their main compound, interact with more than the AR. Some interact more with the PR and or ER. Some metabolize to one or more types of estrogen and interact with subsets of ERs differently. All of these things, AR, PR, and ER all provide anabolism. Then you have tissue specificity such as brain and sex tissues such as prostate etc where conversion to DHT or a steroid that more resembles DHT can have alternative actions such as tissues rich in DHT functino compared to another. Then there are those that act as neural steroids or convert to them so you can have mood enhancement etc. Many many more things are occurring as well and many of these pathways interact. So you can imagine that upping the dose or shifting ratios can make a difference in overall effect and interaction of pathways good and bad. It's really all a mixed bag to start with. To have some of these guys just pick out a compound inand blat on about some simplistic rules really is short sighted. Again, I think we all have to be smart, observant and a bit daring to find our own zones with our own best selection of compounds.
