this idea of pyramiding up to keep gains coming may work but the things you need to consider are the fact that you actually need to raise dosages at least 2-3 weeks prior to when your gains slow down and you would also have to make a pretty substantial increase to see much of a possitive affect. you may have to raise dosages by 30-50% or more for it to make a difference.remylebeau said:Pyramid out of a cycle may not make sense, but the idea of pyramiding up I think is valid.
If one were to do a longer cycle, starting off at 500mg then going to 750 after the 7-8 week seems like a good idea to me. Most people complain about plateauing after the 8th week, due to the body adapting to the higher test levels, why not add another 250mg to keep the gains going?
I dunno...just thinking out loud..
Thanks for the info. the reason I ask is b/c my brother used the pyramid theme his first cycle and liked it. Like you said, it helped with coming off and getting your body used to lower levels again. Instead of pyramiding up, would you recommend just staring at 500mg and then pyramiding down at the end? This will be my first cycle if that matters.pincrusher said:this idea of pyramiding up to keep gains coming may work but the things you need to consider are the fact that you actually need to raise dosages at least 2-3 weeks prior to when your gains slow down and you would also have to make a pretty substantial increase to see much of a possitive affect. you may have to raise dosages by 30-50% or more for it to make a difference.
pyramiding down however will allow for your body to adjust to the lowered test levels much more gradual and will reduce potential side affects. it will also allow for an easier PCT therapy once you are done pyramiding down. it is similar to when you try to come of rec drugs, alcohol, etc. your body can adjust easier if you do it slowly instead of cold turkey. in the past this was the only way to use steroids since anti estrogens were not used or not well known about back in the day.
yes i would recommend that you start all cycles at the full dosage intended and if pyramiding down make sure you take at least 3 weeks at the end to pyramid down. cut the weekly dosage in half each of the 3 weeks.JoshF56 said:Thanks for the info. the reason I ask is b/c my brother used the pyramid theme his first cycle and liked it.
