Lowest effective dosage prob 300-400 / week. As someone who’s not trying to gain more size, I really like masteron. It gives a totally different look than just test alone and I get zero side effects from it. Anavar and winstrol are better, but they’re toxic (winstrol moreso) and can’t be run as high or as long as masteron. Some have experimented with longer term use of moderate dosages of Anavar. I’ll take an injectable over that any day and run the anavar / winstrol properly when needed.
As an aside, masteron is also very popular among powerlifters. So the folks who think it’s not helpful for performance are doing something wrong. Is it the best drug for adding tissue? No. But over time things like minimizing side effects / toxicity, and max dosage tolerability, become an issue and that’s why a lot of competitors are using more masteron these days. Very similar to primo but cheaper, higher concentrations available without the pip, and for many, free of sides. Higher end dosing is likely to hit the HDL like most other PEDs but other than that some people tolerate it swimmingly at very high doses. In a perfect world we’d all be able to run tren year round with normal labs and BP. Not the case. How many times have we heard something like drug x was awesome but (add in several negatives / sides / Health issues). After a while you realize that running higher dosages of the mild stuff (mild for you which can only be found by trial and error) is better than messing with more toxic stuff. Tren is of course an exception but surprisingly more and more users, even top Competitors, are going without it. My theory is that they are already on so much other shit that when they add the tren in tips them over in terms of side effects, most notably BP control. Adding 200 of tren per week to 2400 mg is a lot different than adding it to 500 mg.
