Hey bro, admittedly I haven't read the whole thread but I will say this.
Your post that started this thread seems to imply that you are stating facts. You are not stating facts, you are stating opinions.
I recognize that sometimes people advise first cycles to be heavier than they should be, but I perceive that just as often they advise cycles to be lighter than they should be. That's my opinion.
I agree that people should start relatively low (e.g. 500 mgs. of test per week with anti estrogens on hand, or just taken as a matter of course even before any sign of trouble) at first to see how they react. But IMO it is silly to advise someone to start with 250 mgs. per week of test.
Also, I think it is easy for individuals like you, who obviously respond very well to relatively lower doses, to assume that others will as well.
Personally, I don't respond to higher doses and use more gear than people much bigger than me. I suppose that if I did respond better I'd be much bigger than 6'0", 200 lbs., at about 8-9%. But that's the cards I've been dealt.
BTW I started with 250 mgs. of sustenon per week (I actually shot with the 18 gauge cannons that come with the preloads, lol). I wish I had know better.
All I'm saying is that this is at least to some extent a matter of opinion.
BTW, I always enjoy a good rant, sometimes I even enjoy them when I disagree. Its pretty entertaining when somebody melts down.
Respect and out.
