Thread: 400mg vs 500mg Test E (?)

Any noticeable difference?

Besides less potential of sides, etc.

I intended to run my first cycle for 12wks @ 500mg. Noticed I got 30ml @ 200mg.. ducking peaking.

I should respond well, despite, but generally speaking - curious to know if there is any difference in those ranges.


My source still suggested to stick to 1ml @ 200mg, even when I asked to get another vial so I can do 1.5ml to make the difference to 250mg. He said they're labelled 200mg but quite over-dosed from that.. ?

I took the advice as he continues to maintain good rep (for many years) with the few that know of him - g2g amongst regulars and local pros. He batches his own gear locally for himself and distributes strictly within his inner circle apparently. Competed recently at Arnold's Classic in Melbourne, obtained IFBB, etc. So it shouldn't be bunk or the worst advice to take. Still feeling I'm missing out a bit.

He also mentioned running the vials out till ~14wks. Not sure what you guys would say about that.

400/wk is more than sufficient for a first cycle. You'll make some great gains at that dosage. Plus 1ml injections are a little more forgiving on virgin muscle.
I would just run the vials out. No sense in keeping a partially used vial around and just start fresh if you do another cycle later. Recovering from a 14 week cycle vs a 12 week cycle is going to be the same.

I'll run it out, appreciate it.

I've also got 10,000iu of hCG on hand. Be taking it from wk4 till 3-4 days before PCT @ 500iu p/wk. I was going to start week 1 but this guy said it's not necessary at the start and wait till a month in. So much contradicting advice depending on source.

Balls don’t shrink until week 6-8, but your test will be shut down after week 1. So, taking hcg will keep the LH and FH mimicked and pretend like your balls never stopped. It’s advised to take it from day 1.

If you did 1.5 ml of 200 mg, that would put you at 300 mg. If you took 1.25 ml, that would put you at 250 mg, and you have 30 ml, so that will give 24 1.25 ml shots, which is 12 weeks. I'd go for the 1.25. Even if its overdosed a little, 600 mg or so wont hurt nothing.

I doubt you will notice a difference. Its minimal at best.
