Damn. I’ll need to look. I wonder if it’s dose dependant or because we push so hard on deca we overexert our hearts?
I just took a quick scan, but damn they were giving the rats 10 mg/kg 3 times a week. So at my body weight I would need to take an excess of 2100 mg. 2.1 grams of deca alone. My cock would be fucked for life, but who would care id have tits to play with. No shit it caused damage, lol.
Then in another study they used 1mg per 100 grams of bodyweigh. So still at my body weight around 900 mg a week. That’s still a fair bit and they only showed oxidative stress, and created a coralation .
I think I won’t worry too much taking 160 mg a week.
Hey Sorb and y'all I'm late to the party,
you might need a big asterisk by that statement depending on the exact wording whatever study you are referring to used.
The point I am about to try to make here frustrates the fuck out of me because I can never remember the right terms and will have to look it up so bear wit me .
Basically it depends on if they used words that describe it as 'human equivalent' or something like that. Their is a conversion factor to be considered between different animals. You cannot simply multiply the dose by the ratio of bodyweights.
If anybody knows wtf I'm talking about or even just what it's called please post up, I'll probably look into it after I lift otherwise I won't be able to get to sleep tonite.
And yeah, if this particular case is straight up the way you described it that would be a hefty dose
EDIT- YAY I remembered before I walked out the door ! Relevant terms are Allometric Scaling and Human Equivalency Dose or HED
It very roughly goes like this - Animal dose in mg/kg x (Animal conversion factor/Human Conversion Factor) = HED
Those conversion factors are subject to bodyweight a rat could be "10" and a human could be "50" just a guess at this point but hopefully not too far off. So assuming that those numbers are anywhere in the ballpark 10 x 10/50 = 2mg/kg HED.
EDIT OF EDIT - I had to look deeper, more realistic numbers for a guy of around 100kg - 10 x 5/50 = 1mg/kg HED
Gotta go now, these rear delts aren't going to pump themselves !
