1mg is the recommended effective dose for male birth control. 10mg is a good starting point and a good therapeutic dose. My original calculations always put it there, then those "Anabolics Books" confirmed this, often recommending 10mg/d Trest with 400-600mg Test.
I can tell you from experience (and I've posted it here before) that 10 mg/day (which is what I use now) is more than enough to produce visible changes in one's physique within a 2 week period. I don't know of any other non-methylated AAS capable of providing "bodybuilding" type results at 10 mg/day aside from tren, but it's effects are completely different.
This is the sort of thing that you would want to do in 1mg increments if you could. Also "Therapy" may be a monthly period (2w/on, 2w/off) in order to cycle the progesterone.
That's exactly what I do with trest. I cycle it in 2-3 week intervals (2-3 week on/ 2-3 weeks off) specifically to avoid the negative effects it can have on sexual function. That is the only other major downside to trestolone I have found--it impacts sexual functioning just like tren and nandrolone, but if I limit my use to 2-3 weeks on followed by 2-3 weeks off, sexual dysfunction is not an issue.
From gathering a lot of experience, you may be able to do the 10mg/d Trest Ace with 50mg/d Test Prop, all without an AI and Gyno (but that doesn't necessarily mean it's the best estrogen level for your body). In fact you may be able to add 10mg/d to a lot of cycles as an extra bump. Once you get above 15mg/d, that's when you really have to worry. So yah, people now do all sorts of dosages 50mg/d~whatever, and it's fine as long as you figure out your AI.
Yah Raloxifene is promising, and I would like to say that it is all-around superior, but I haven't used it enough. I do like Tormifene. They are just better drugs for their class, but no great leap for gyno or anything.
