I'm in the UK and bumped into an ex pro today in my gym.. Won't say who he is but he was very well known in 2000-2010 time and has competed at the top level, never made the Olympia though.
We got on to doses... He said he never used to use much year round , maybe 250-500mg test most of year but ramp it up 12-16 weeks pre contest only and then post show and rest of year never took much.. He did go up to 3g or so leading into a show and felt he would often compete heavier the year after, maybe only 2-3lb from that one cycle and the rebound from the show.
He is still circa 250 at 5'9 and has a very good physique and is pretty much on trt with some gh...
Makes me think that he said he used a lot in the earlier years recklessly and once the size is there he would cruise and just ramp it up once a year for a few shows then go down, like levrone did..
