So I've been bodybuilding for about 20 years, mostly natural except in college when I went a little hogwild, and in recent years I was put on TRT. This year I decided to experiment a little again.
I gotta tell ya. My ideal is guys like Rob Riches, Jeff Cavalier, I really liked the physique on Sean Sherk when he wasn't depleted for weigh-ins.... just throwing out names, hopefully some of them are familiar but if not most of these guys are in the 175-185lb range tops but just shredded all year.
I've easily hit that weight. I've stood next to some of these guys and I'm actually bigger but they LOOK far, far better. Rob's 16 inch arm looks way bigger than my 18 inch arm, and ya know, his face has no bloat etc., all that adds up to the look.
I've blasted Test at 600mg and looked like crap, just soft and not great. It seems like tren, masteron and winstrol are the tools of the trade for these guys but what i'd like to know, and I guess it's opinion-based, but are most of these guys typically just on a low-dose cruise year-round? I know Jon Skywalker admits to being on test/masteron all year but tries to keep it close to or under 500mg of total AAS as best as he can, I actually asked him and he said 200 test, 400 masteron was what he typically was on with zero breaks but he jumps on all kinds of other stuff. He's the only "famous" guy I've openly discussed this with (he's extremely open about his dosages publicly so I don't mind repeating what he's told me).
Is there a balance? I mean these guys aren't overly large by any means. But how much can you safely take to achieve this type of look year-round and still SOMEWHAT maintain your health (it's gotta be compromised to some degree, surely). It seems like 100mg of Testosterone and 400mg of Masteron or something along those lines would be the way to maintain this look but man, that's still 500mg of gear a week. Is it just one of those, you have to sacrifice your health a bit and hope for the best, type of trade-offs?
Sorry for the long post, I'm just frustrated because after 20 years, on paper I'm a decent size (i'm 5'8 with a 19 inch neck, 46 inch chest, 18 inch arms etc.) but I'm clearly not achieving what I want on TRT alone, and blasting/cruising is an issue with cosmetic drugs like Mast & winny because you literally lose the effect the moment you go off.
