Hi mate so what you’re saying is i can be on test for a long period, in this example 12 months, without coming off at all? You mentioned about 50mg increments, starting at 150, what would you say the cap is before its too much to stay on for the 12 months/ or extended period without coming off, if that makes sense 😂 What im saying is,…
