IMO a first cycle should be 200-300mg/wk of TE/C. If HRT is around 100/wk, then 2-3x normal is all that should be needed to get more gains. 500 is just a nice round number that works when the dosing is 250/ml, and that's why it stuck. Guys could tell their friends that 'you just use 2 a week'- type of crap.

We micro-manage our diets (or at least eventually we learn to), and think of every # of calorie, fat, carb, and almighty protein. When it comes to increasing hormones, we want to stick our heads in the sand. Why??? Is it really that complicated? I don't think so. If you can learn other math applications then why not even more. Does our 'meathead' brains fill up...no. We can remember 5 different routines to train each and every muscle with each of them 5 different ways to lift the weight. But we can't calculate the simple numbers that will help us get to that goal.

Don't get me wrong. Diet is MOST important thing, with training/rest being #2. But we all know that the difficulty attaining goals comes down greatly when the last item is added, hormones. I dunno. Maybe its just my OCD brain.
