~I have been on HRT for the last year now at 100-200mgs per week.
~I have several cycles under my belt.
~Came off for the last year and went on HCG to get the wife pregnant, she is now 8 weeks pregnant
Been thinking about keeping my test dose at 500-800mg all year long and blasting at 2g of test for 3 months at a time then dropping back down to 500-800.
Can you run test all year round and still stay healthy??
ur genetics will determine this, regular blood work and health chekups
if everything comes up fine and normal, then you probably can do it, if everything comes up as outa range really badly then you probably cant do it healthy
but remember the term 'healthy' is subjective, what your acceptable level of health is, is going to be different to others, you need to evaluate what you think is healthy and acceptable for your steroid use level and make ur judgments based on that
most guys i know staying on all year round accept the fact AAS will effect there lipids to some extent, and will allow them to stay outa range for a certain margin
other guys might accept slightly elevated liver values
while others want nothing less then perfect normal values for all there blood work
again, decide what you think is acceptable for your steroid usage, get health chekups and blood work done regularly and decide each time when you get your results whether to continue or not
dont base your decision on others experiences, everyone is different, as ive said before, some guys can drink alcohol every day for years and never damage there liver, others will destroy there liver from weekend drinking with friends, everyones different, find what works for you
and to anser your question for retaining muscle,
simple principle: the bigger you are, the more drugs itll require to maintain that size,
diet wont do much, that will already be in check when your on drugs, wen your lower ur doses your diet still remains basically identical, so with all factors being the same, less drugs means less muscle
remeber your only as big as your dosage
