How do I know when to up my dosages and how much should I add?

This is a question everyone is plagued with when they continue their journey using anabolic compounds. There is no real "right" answer to that question, no one can tell you exactly how you'll react and how soon you'll need to up the dosages or add compounds.

For most everyone starting anabolics, you'll find that 500mg of test a week is going to be more than enough, heck I'd wager most everyone can get away with using 500mg/week for at least their first two cycles. This doesn't mean you can't start adding other compounds for your second cycle, but the majority of people will still gain reasonably from that dosage through 2 solid 10 week cycles. The effectiveness of your first few cycles will be determined more by your diet and training regimin than your drug choices as most people aren't quite to their genetic limits where gaining really gets difficult.

With every subsequent cycle you do you should be holding more mass at the start than your last cycle, barring injury or time off due to uncontrollable circumstances, this usually means that you have more receptors for that golden nectar and you'll need a bit more juice in your cycle just for the maintenance of that extra mass. I can't honestly sit here and say i have all the answers to how much more you'll need, but everyone will agree, as you cycle you need to up your dosages.
How much you up your dosage is really personal preference, a lot of people would like to find the optimal dose to gain while keeping sides at a minimum, while others will ram head first into the highest doses they can cram into their muscles. I feel that unless you are adding a new compound to provide for more anabolism you should up your dosages by around 15-25% every cycle or two. You can get by the need to up your overall dosages if you want by rotating in new compounds that either have increased anabolic or increased androgenic effects allowing for more tissue generation with the lower dosages.
