Yeah, my post was not geared toward mass building. More cruising with EQ, or if one were to choose to use EQ and Deca or primo as their main steroids and runnin test at maintenance doses as part of a multi compound stack. Since being on TRT for the last 4 years my cycles are more unconventional I suppose, being able to run gear longer or more frequently has resulted in changing doses and combos outside what people would normally consider a cycle.
It is still broscience to some degree, its just that a lot of the broscience “facts” that were drilled into me upon entering the world of steroids are just not true. So I’ve gone off the reservation at times to test my own theories and come to some different conclusions. Of course some of them are going to be faulty and have holes in them perhaps I didn’t see, that is why I enjoy hearing others input and seeing how different people adopt things for their goals or life stlye.
I like how this board is an exchange of ideas and there is understanding that we are all different in our needs and goals. Its great to have free exchange of information and even to be able to disagree without having communications breakdowns.
It could also be considered (and this would be contrary to my theory) that cortisone suppression with higher test levels would be beneficial to collagen synthesis, or at least inhibit catabolism. Like I said, I’m interested to hear other peoples ideas on the healing properties of AAS, especially regarding collagen synthesis. There have been a few studies I’ve seen over the years using EQ, Primo, and Deca for collagen synthesis and all had 200mg of test or lower. Maybe they weren’t running test at higher doses because it wasn’t part of the study (after all it wasn’t for getting huge). So its possible that the facts are out of context to some degree and therefore not necessarily indicative of test inhibiting collagen synthesis.
