Many people tolerate SD really well. I decided to take the advice on this and planned out a month back in the mid '00s of AE's SD 40mg/day x 4 weeks. But by the 3rd week, I felt like death. Barely wanted to get out of bed, appetite was gone and I needed food. I felt I was falling apart. I've seen and heard people make huge gains on it. It's just not in my rotation. As I think
@Kaladryn pointed out, you can't make progressive gains in a dose respondent manner if your health mentally and physically is in the can. I think maybe if I was younger at the time, maybe I could've handled it better. Maybe dropping the testosterone way down to 100mg - 200mg? I think I was doing 1ml T enanthate 250 MWF then.
People at the time were doing 50mg dianabol and/or A50's (up to 150mg). Maybe some of you remember a thread talking about doing 25mg of each. I did 25mg methandrostenolone/25mg oxymetholone per day and it jacked me up harder than 40mg SD and I felt great.
It could have been me, or the SD. Either way, pass.
