To pyramid or not to pyramid?

[trinidad]

My buddy is about to try his first cycle. He is 27 years old, 5' 10" 192 lbs. with a fairly low bf%. He is going to do 500 mgs. of test enanthate for 10 wks. What are your opinions on pyramiding the doses and tapering at the end? I told him to do 1 cc. (250 mgs.) twice a week (mon. & thurs., etc.) but another guy told him to pyramid the doses up to a peak and then taper down. Any suggestions? Thanks!
Also HCG and Nolv. at the end.

Enan is a long acting ester so it will basically taper itself out of his system at the end. I'd just set the dose & go with it from beginning to end then start post cycle two weeks after his last injection.

That's what I told him but the other guy recently won a local BB contest so my buddy is kind of torn as to which way he should go. Then again.....I am much bigger than this other guy, that should count for something!

Well, on my current cycle I just bumped my dose way up for the last 3 weeks & had great results. My gains had come to a stand still & I wanted to experiment & it seemed to work. I mostly did it because I wanted to stay on schedule & if I had stayed at the same dose I would have had some gear left over. But, it will taper down on it's own. Starting at a lower dose for the first few weeks wouldn't hurt him since it's his first cycle & he's not sure how his body will react but, other than that I see no point in doing so.
