Heiffer Dosages

The" prior to slaughter" part of the question is what negates the ungodly amounts you've heard of being used by selfmedicating bipeds when compared to these average heifer and steer dosages.

In other words the ave, mg/lb used to dose these beasts are quite small in comparision to BB dosages.

Personally, I think the high dosages stem from underdosed tren. The ease of homebrewing makes it too easy to add more oil and make more profit. All of sudden people aren't getting the same results with 75mg EOD because they're really only getting 25mg EOD so they increase the dosage. I am positive that GAC tren was far underdosed at one time and probably still is. Then there was that brand that some mag endorsed (musclemedia?), it was supposed to come in 25mg, 50mg, and 75mg and someone tested it and it all turned out to be 25mg/ml!
I noticed negligible difference between 75mg/ml ED and 75mg/ml EOD so I am of the opinion that EOD is enough. On the other hand, I saw a HUGE difference when switching from 75mg/ml homebrew to 75mg/ml (supposedly) GAC tren, namely it felt like there wasn't shit in it and it wasn't nearly as yellow as my homebrew. I switched back, felt great within a few days, and chucked the GAC. Fuck M* and his network of scams!
Moral of story, make your own so you know what's in it!
