exactly, alot of these guys who want to knock cycles with large doses have not been in the game that long, 500mg of test and 400 of deca would be a maintenance dosage for me. I know everyone likes to be PC and talk aboiut nutrition and genetics being so important and they are don't get me wrong. But if you don't think poor genetics can be overcome through the stategic usage of pharmacueticals you are wrong. What it comes down to is this, arbitralily if you are within 20 pounds or so of your natural genetic limit then you will probably make gains on moderate cycling. If you are 50 to 100 pounds over your natural genetic limit then you may not grow on any amount of straight aas, this is why the next level is incorporated namely GH, insulin, igf and other goodies. I know we all work hard at our diet and training but lets not kid ourselves the drugs we use DO give us an extraordinary advantage and play a major part in our physique building.
