: : : : : : : : : : Man, I'm confused. : : : : : Some say start high and taper down and some say pyramide it up and down. : : : : : Any advice? : : : : My Friends generally run by the following rule (after exhaustive experimentation I might add). Start low the 1st week just to get adjusted to the cycle. By week 2-3 be on a steady dose. For test, say 400mg/week as a hypothetical. Stay on this for your whole cycle, then taper down when it's time to stop. All the different up/down regimens have not really yielded additional benifit and seem unnecessary. You will find many differing opinions though, so you'll really have to find out what's best for you. : : : Many guys I know use this route. If I were a BB using AS : : : this is the way I would go. : : If I were a steroid user, which of course I'm not, I would probably pyramid, also. : : But, I would never use a heavy one like test, Big A, or D-bol without having another : : mild anabolic to use when I started coming down and for a few weeks after. It is a : : better way to keep a higher % of gains, and you feel a lot better in general. You will : : even keep most of your normal sex drive. A post cycle crash from a heavy hitter AS is : : not on my wish list, as it plain sucks. : : By the way, there are certain times and conditions that would make a pyramid schedule : : a waste. Many people feel they get better results by doing it other ways, like the 4 : : week blitz, the 3 weeks of 6 alternating different ones, the go long method, the do : : whatever you can find stack, and the newly spawned receptor upgrade cycle (which may : : be excellent). As you can see, like the other guys said, it is up to you to see what : : works best for you. : : Boomer : As posted above, the best thing to do is experiment and find what works best for you. But, if you don't have the money or A.S supply to waste your time experimenting, DO SOME RESEARCH. There is literally TONS of new info coming out on how to maximize gains while on A.S. The reason for this is because of AIDS. AIDS patients and their doctors are realizing the enormous benefits of A.S for treating wasting diseases. There is a TON of money being poured into AIDS research. If you read some of the studies that are now being done on A.S to treat wasting, you'll find that EVERY study on dosages reveals that starting high and tapering down will yield the best results. The studies used AIDS patients and had various dosing routines and the gains in LBM were measured. : A side note of this is (as was mentioned in MM2K's Anabolic Round Table by Dan Duchaine), much greater gains are obtained by using 2500 mg/week of just about any A.S. True, this will be harsh on your liver, but you will get better results. Everyone is so conservative on here it's sickening <grin>! : Look at the work of Michael Mooney (www.medibolics.com). He published the results of a study where AIDS patients took 150 mg of Anadrol a day for more than 3 months with no real side effects. : -E.A
