Lonetree, what kind of test doses have you run in conjunction with how much finastride?
I hear 1.25mg for every 250mg of test is a good place to start.
I think the reason why 1.25mg and 5mg don't make a hugh difference Magic is simply because of the fact that the average male only produces something like 70mg of testosterone each week, some more, some less. So there is only so much "free" test which can be reduced to DHT. 1.25mg is probably enough for most men and 5mg won't make a hugh difference.
But if we are talking about someone who has double that amount of test in his body, then it is likely that would mean an increase in the amount at which that extra test gets reduced into DHT. So it's probably a good idea to up the dose slightly depending on how much extra test you're taking in.
Of course, not all test is free to reduce via the 5AR. Some becomes bound due to the SHBG. This could also be a reason why some guys see more hairloss when they stack test with something like Winstrol.
OK, Winstrol can cause hairloss regardless of whether you stack it with test or not due to it being a DHT derivative.
It's probably a bad example to use, but I use Winny as an example because as you probably know Winny is very effective at reducing the SHBG. So in other words, it helps that extra test become "un bound". This essentially makes the extra testosterone more effective as there is more "free" test to bind to the androgen receptors.
Of course, this also means there is more chance of that extra test being reduced into DHT which means potentially more hairloss if you are prone.
So I think taking a higher dose would probably be beneficial.
Certainly need a good supply of anti-estrogen meds though
BTW, do any of you guys know what the average male's testosterone in an un-bound state is? I think it was 70mg ew we produce naturally, but I'm not sure what percentage of that is free and what percentage is bound by the SHBG?
