I agree with limiting test intake.
I just re-read the original post and a 'gram a week of sust' - LOL!
No wonder you're one giant zit freakazoid. Anything over 300mg/week test and my acne is completely ridiculous, and I'm embarrassed to take off my shirt, which negates the whole point of the gear somewhat eh? Especially in the summer months. I had a friend once who never got ANY acne whatsoever even at 600+mg/week. You have to do what works for YOUR body, not what looks good on paper.
I saw that you also posted that it's enough to make you think about going natural, as if those are the only two choices:
A. Doing a gram and a half a week of gear and being covered in what looks like posion oak meets the chicken pox.
or
B. Going natural
How about:
C. Doing just enough gear to keep you anabolic while limiting as much as possible the side effects such as acne, and working really really hard at the gym and eating an impeccable diet.
Not only will you save money but the in the long run you'll have more permanent and sustainable gains. I read this article once that made an amazing amount of sense. It was based on some actual research though. It said that the most permanent changes in body composition come after doing at least 10g of gear, with long term use at 30g providing amazing results.
There's a limit to how much muscle any human being can gain on a week by week basis, and I'm talking actual muscle, not bloated water or strength gains. The key is less gear applied over more time, to go and stay on for a long long time, adjusting your dosage to stay anabolic and limit side effects whilst working your butt off. Everyone wants a quick fix and to be a monster overnight and it ain't gonna happen for most, and they end up making a mess of themselves in the process.
