I don't really know if it's reliable or not, but I wish someone could test it for us
But the problem is, its difficult to notice if its REALLY the SD giving result in such a long period or if its just placebo effect, diet, working out harder etc.
Think of it this way....
The male human produces roughly 10 mg of test a day on the high side
thats 70 mg a week.
Now lets say you added an extra 15 mg a week to that......you end up with 85 mg a week
Thats a 12% increase, nothing drastic but who wouldnt want
Now lets replace the extra test with SD
The fact that SD might be 4x as anabolic and that 12% ends up being a 48% increase in anabolism. Now subtract some slight suppression effects of lower endegenous and you end up with a roughly 35% increase in anabolic effect.
Theost net equivelant anabolic effect of 95 mg test a week, over 70 mg naturally
So your 15 mg of SD a week added the equivalent anabolic effects of 25 mg test including suppression at homeasis. Thats a net anabolic effect of 2.5 days production extra.
Many more factors go into it, but sure, slow steady gains are theoretically possible
Dosed in the AM to piggyback your natural testosterone surge could possibly reduce supression leaving more endegenous in place for a higher net anabolic effect.
Also a strong Glut-4 translocator would be a huge plus.
The absolute best case scenario:
1. Early AM dosing to piggyback natural test surge (at low dose)
2. Early AM workout under the influence of a highly anabolic enviroment
3. Also a high carb meal immediately following to take advantage of strong glut-4 translocation
4. Compound with short half life, not interfering when the next testosterone surge of the day occurs
5. A
low doseAI would seem to be a benefit to keeping endengenous levels higher if your chosen compund doesnt have AI effects. Aromatase activity will probably increase with higher levels of anabolics, and your endegenous test will convert to E. E is much more suppresive. The goal is to keep endegenous levels as high as possible
6. High GH release at night would help restoring test levels for the next day morning surge/dose. Anything that would cause this is good (L-Dopa)
Compound Characteristics (IMO):
1. Non aromatizing, unless coupled with low dose AI
2. Short half life
3. Weak AR binding (?)
4. Strong glut-4 translocator
