What do you all think of low dose cycles?

[Caferacer]

I've seen a few people on other boards running low dose (200-400mg/week) cycles of test, and after reading this article by bask8kace (http://www.ironforlife.com/t3177-low...-and-myth.html sorry it's linked to another board) it got me interested in making my first cycle a lower dose than originally planned. I mean most people produce around 140mg a week of test on the upper end of the scale. Doubling that for 12 weeks should give some nice gains and probably an easier recovery too.

I'm thinking something like 300mg/week of enanthate or something along those lines. I'd just like to see what other's people experiences are. Keep in mind I am thinking way ahead (6 months or so at least). I'm 200lbs now, by the time a cycle comes around I will probably be 210 easily.

My first cycle was 300mg test cyp for 6 weeks......people laugh at that but I gained 15lbs of lean muscle and actually lost about 1% body fat..I would never do a long ester under 8 weeks now but for a first cycle it worked great for me. Even now I only use 400mg of test a week most of the time but usually stack it with 400-600EQ.

Yea this is what I am looking for. I don't want to run a huge cycle so when I read about low dose cycles it seemed right up my alley.

best to stick with low doses as long as u can get away with it, a good friend of mine did 250mg/wk enanthate for 10 weeks and made substantial gains for his first cycle. a lot of people say you womt respond but for a first course you wil respond to most anything it also give you more room for second cycle

I'm going to run 400mg test cyp with 400mg EQ in the summer for 10 weeks.
Everybody is right on this one, no need to rump up dosses if you still get results at low dosses. On the other hand personally I do not really want to blow up either.

i always use 1g of test

Pfft, I'm planning a cycle of 1.4g/week of test. Nevermind that it'll be transdermal and after absorption it'll be equivalent to 600mg of test e.
