    Why would Arnold’s test levels
    Be that high ? He’s said before his
    Drugs of choice were d-Bol and primo
    Both of which won’t raise test levels

    ...because the base of any stack is Testosterone. The general dosage is about 500mg a week. Pro's sometime use much more. This is with cypionate and enanthate. Proprionate is dosed every other day, up to 150-200mg. They don't often talk about the T dosing because it's assumed. The only real variance is the other AAS's in the stack.

    For some perspective - I'm on TRT. I inject 100mg a week. Mid cycle I've tested as high as 1200 ng/dL and in my trough I test at 800 ng/dL. Think about what a 500mg+ dose a week would do.

    Totally agree that that 500mg ew is pretty
    Standard these days, just not back in the 70’s

    My Friends on 200mg ew and is only
    Around 900 ng/dl, guess everybody’s different

    That’s pretty normal if he’s only taking 200mg a week.

    Haha LOL at this. Running dbol for as long he would of had to would wreck him. Also he would have felt like shyttttttt if he wasn’t on test and taking those 2 compounds he would have felt like death as well. He was taking more than whatever video you saw, way more!

    So as for starting to cut, I don’t wanna loose my strengths gains. Should I look at ~4lb a month? Just include a bit more cardio? Nothing too drastic right?

    I just don’t wanna feel like I overdid the bulk to the point where when I try to cut I lose the fat that I gained as well as the muscle, done that before, not fun

    You didn’t over bulk. Excellent progress. I’d recommend a mini cut. Go to the Revive Stronger website and look it up. They have a very thorough explanation.
