Crackerjack, I used to have the same dilemma, i hated seein the abs disapear because i knew it was a long road to getting them back...But later on i was told to up my test to a gram, things were different then. I grew ALOT, but didnt put on any fat at all, i actually dropped bodyfat. Seems like the person who recommended that to me said that test seemed thermogenic at higher doses... I have no facts to base what i was told, but it did work for me...and by no means do i mean for you to try a gram of test a week, its just what worked for me.
