He never said he got on stage with 500mg, nor did he claim to train anybody to get on stage with 500mg.
Go and reread his post. Simply replacing his post with one you made up, and then attacking the one you made up is called a straw man fallacy (because it it easier to knock down a straw man than it is a real man, just like it is easier to knock down the argument you made up than to address BigTomJ's post directly).
Like him, I started out with the standard 500mg testosterone cycle. It worked so well that it is still what I recommend for somebody who is serious and has their diet and training in order (few do) to start.
I am guessing here about BigTomJ, but for me, later, as I grew, doses did need to go up.
There is a lot of room between "microdosing" (whatever that is) and 5 grams of gear to do something that works but is not reckless. There is a size-dose relationship, but you cannot get it all at once, so there is no point to a huge dose cycle to start out. You will have increases side effects and more danger to health but put on no more size than the guy who ran 500mg. Put on some size, and then increase doses
as needed to keep making gains.
I am an inch shorter than BigTomJ, but that is still taller than 82% of the population. BigTomJ is taller than 89% of the population. You, sir, are taller than almost everybody. You need 4000 persons in a room to have a statistical likely chance of somebody being the same height.
Maybe that colors your references to men who are the average or median height as "midgets."
5' 9.3" is 50th percentile . . .
Yeah, some guys have better genetics for bodybuilding, waaaah, waaaah.
Everybody can still put on muscle, naturally, and with steroids. No, everybody cannot be Mr. Olympia or even make it to the Olympia stage. Thank you, Mr. Obvious. Until you posted, we had no idea.
