I can’t believe a beginner taking that much shit, I’ve been using for over 30 years, competed over 15 years, have won Australians twice and never used that much. Each to their own, but in my experience more gear = more side effects, not more gains. My first cycle was 500mg of sust, 200mg deca and I gained 10kg in 12 weeks. I really think beginners should concentrate more on training and nutrition than mega doses of drugs. I mean if you are starting on 2.5g a week, where do you go from there ? Just my thoughts from a lifetime of training and comp prepping people. At the end of the day, you do what you want, it’s you body and your decision, I’m not telling you what to do, I just get concerned when I see what some people do on their first run.
