Awesome guys! Thanks for all the info so far. I didn't want to reply to early and end the discussion, because I definately like everyones opinion!

I was more or less dead set on doing the oral only cycle, (only because hypothetically, that's all I had) however, after reading your posts, I have definately reconsidered.

Therefore, for the time being, the search begins...

Thanks again all! I will continue to monitor this post and the board for even more advice!

I would hardly say 250-300mg of test/week is a barely effective dose!

Depends if you're using it for hrt or intend to add muscle mass.

i have done Stanozolol and methandrostenolone oral cycles
with good maintenance.
i take all the dose at once 6:00 am to curtail the cortisol and as well as less HPA deregulation.

This is more non-sense taking orals at 6:00 am has no less htpa downregulation than 3:00p.m.

less continous time on receptors.
i said deregulation and hpa (hypothalamus-pituitary-adrenals).
stano and metha are fast acting 6-8 hours active life.

lab blood test verify.

tsh
t4
crh
acth
cortisol.

AR Receptors renew every several hours as it is. This theory was stipulated very strongly accross the boards several years ago and had a large following but since has been proven to be faulty.

Do you really think 500mg is not too much for a beginner? I know that people all over the net say that 500mg/week is a good starting dose, but imo, it's too high. I think a beginner would be pretty happy with the results from 250-300mg/week. Dose can always be increased in future cycles.

If we're going to begin nitpicking, then we can end the discussion by going to the studies. There is an often quoted study on this board where 600mgs of test was used for 20 weeks with no side effects that weren't reversed upon cessation. Furthermore, 600mgs gave greater gains than 300mgs. So technically, it would be safe to assume the poster could use 600mgs without a hitch. This would lead to the greatest benefit vs risk ratio.

Here's a dose response study. I couldn't find the one that said sides were reversed. I'll have more time later to search.

Testosterone dose-response relationships in healthy young men.

Bhasin S, Woodhouse L, Casaburi R, Singh AB, Bhasin D, Berman N, Chen X, Yarasheski KE, Magliano L, Dzekov C, Dzekov J, Bross R, Phillips J, Sinha-Hikim I, Shen R, Storer TW.

Division of Endocrinology, Metabolism, and Molecular Medicine, Charles R. Drew University of Medicine and Science, Los Angeles, CA 90059, USA. [email protected]

Testosterone increases muscle mass and strength and regulates other physiological processes, but we do not know whether testosterone effects are dose dependent and whether dose requirements for maintaining various androgen-dependent processes are similar. To determine the effects of graded doses of testosterone on body composition, muscle size, strength, power, sexual and cognitive functions, prostate-specific antigen (PSA), plasma lipids, hemoglobin, and insulin-like growth factor I (IGF-I) levels, 61 eugonadal men, 18-35 yr, were randomized to one of five groups to receive monthly injections of a long-acting gonadotropin-releasing hormone (GnRH) agonist, to suppress endogenous testosterone secretion, and weekly injections of 25, 50, 125, 300, or 600 mg of Testosterone Enanthate for 20 wk. Energy and protein intakes were standardized. The administration of the GnRH agonist plus graded doses of testosterone resulted in mean nadir testosterone concentrations of 253, 306, 542, 1,345, and 2,370 ng/dl at the 25-, 50-, 125-, 300-, and 600-mg doses, respectively. Fat-free mass increased dose dependently in men receiving 125, 300, or 600 mg of testosterone weekly (change +3.4, 5.2, and 7.9 kg, respectively). The changes in fat-free mass were highly dependent on testosterone dose (P = 0.0001) and correlated with log testosterone concentrations (r = 0.73, P = 0.0001). Changes in leg press strength, leg power, thigh and quadriceps muscle volumes, hemoglobin, and IGF-I were positively correlated with testosterone concentrations, whereas changes in fat mass and plasma high-density lipoprotein (HDL) cholesterol were negatively correlated. Sexual function, visual-spatial cognition and mood, and PSA levels did not change significantly at any dose. We conclude that changes in circulating testosterone concentrations, induced by GnRH agonist and testosterone administration, are associated with testosterone dose- and concentration-dependent changes in fat-free mass, muscle size, strength and power, fat mass, hemoglobin, HDL cholesterol, and IGF-I levels, in conformity with a single linear dose-response relationship. However, different androgen-dependent processes have different testosterone dose-response relationships.

D-bol and winstrol also both upregulate the GR as well which persists post cycle so where you think that you come out ahead doing an all oral cycle is beyond me.

hpa deregulation.

Adrenal insufficiency associated with long-term anabolic steroid administration in a horse.

Dowling PM, Williams MA, Clark TP.

Department of Large Animal Surgery and Medicine, College of Veterinary Medicine, Auburn University, AL 36849-5522.

Adrenal insufficiency was diagnosed in a 9-year-old American Quarter Horse gelding that had received monthly injections of stanozolol for 8 years. After the injections were abruptly discontinued, the horse developed anorexia, lethargy, weight loss, and bilateral forelimb lameness. Secondary hypoadrenocorticism was diagnosed on the basis of clinical signs, lack of high endogenous plasma ACTH concentration, and lack of cortisol response to administration of ACTH. Because the medical history did not include glucocorticoid administration, the cause was determined to be excessive administration of an anabolic steroid. Treatment consisted of physiologic glucocorticoid replacement for 9 months until adrenal function returned.

Chronic administration of anabolic androgenic steroid alters murine thyroid function.

thanks Nytol.
i take 60 mg of Dbol daily plus 100 mg stanozolol daily.

i am blood tested weekly, before,in and after.

It makes sense for a beginner to start at a lower dose of a single ester test to see how his body is going to react to the drug...not pump in a gram of test w/o any idea of what may happen and hope for the best.

Could not agree more. You gotta the whole life to increase the doses. Besides that sides are dose dependent as well .

Maybe you may cut the cortisol but I don't think that it would do anything for HPTA downregulation.
