I'm a french specialist in andropause treatement and i have discovered
this site while i was searching for some information about US steroid.
I have read a lot of message on this site and i don't want to waste my and your time to
try to warm you about the danger related to the use of AS.
I'm against the use of steroid for healthy male or female
As a phycisian i would like to give you some advices for gaining lean mass without
danger.
First: you have to know your hormonal profile
For a healthy man between 20 and 25 yo here is a normal profile
LH 2-5 mUI/ml
FSH 2-5 mUI/ml
Male hormone:
Testosterone 800-1000mg%/ml
Dihydrotestosterone 100mg...
female hormone:
Oestradiol 20 pg%/ml
Oestrone 40-60 pg%/ml
As many andrologists I have noticed some links between hormonal profiles and
body characteristics which could help you
Typically -(1) men with light bones, fatty body, narrow shoulder, wide hip (usually
below mean genitals) have likely to have a poor profile even when they are young
-(2) Athletic men, well balanced, muscular , (normal genitals) have a normal profile
-(3) Men who are taller than wide, often skim or thin (usually beyond mean genitals)
have a good hormonal profile
That is what we can see in our medical office and which is often confirmed by
hormonal screenings
For (1) a supplementation is (medically) required for a normal life otherwise the body is likely
to get old early
For (2) a supplementation can be (medically) required after 40-45yo or before for
gaining lean mass
For (3) If the thyroid is doing well ,they don't need chemical aid only to
improve their nutrition and probably to meet a psychologist if their sexe drive is
low or not sufficient.
I assume you are of the type (2) and you want to gain mass
I you are less than 20 yo it's stupid to take any drugs, I will give you further
some tips you should know to have a natural boost.
I have used since years with several hundred patients a lot of different drugs.
As many physicians i'have found that the safest mean to increase lean mass
(or testosterone levels) is to use mesterolone (oral).
It's not the most efficient in term of speed but you can keep to take it during five
years without halting:
-I have never noticed any trouble with liver: no transaminase, no biluribine increases,
- It does not interact with hypophyse
-It does not produce by metabolisation any female hormones (no gynecomasties)
As control you need to check your LH level it should be between 0.5 and 1.5
under 0.5 it means than your own testosterone production is stopped which is stupid
because you can add your natural testo and the exogenes one if you begin slightly.
In fact the aim for a several months or years supplementation strategy is to shift
the balance of your testosterone level to higher level :when testo increases, LH decreases
and when LH increases testo decreases (LH of 15 gives about 600 ng of testo which is low)
If you increase your testosterone level to quickly you will shut down your own testo
production which is not productive. And it's when your body is unbalanced than
side effects may appears. Don't forget than you want to increase lean mass and
not water retention ! That's why some people say that when you stop, you lose all
because in a cycle of 10 weeks you have not enough time to take as much lean mass
as you could. Only water and a few mass. With a 6 months treatment you increase
slightly your testosterone levels , your body has enough time to adjust its other
hormonals levels and then your body don't need to decrease the sensitivity of its hormonal
receptors to cope with the stress of a high soar and you can gain muscle steady.
Another drug which is interesting is undecanoate of testosterone but it's not
as safe as the previous because (it acts on hypophyse...) It's totally harmless to correct
insufficient testo levels but not to increase testo for healthy male. But it's more
harmless than others AS. Of course never use you 17 alpha methyltestosterone.
Don't use AS for animals. Don't forget that when your liver begin to have touble
it means than 2/3 is already destroyed !.
Don't use H-GH it's efficient (few) only for old male and dangerous
Don't use IGF-1,nobody knows really what is it.
Don't run with the Devil: DO NOT USE INSULIN please
You can increase your testosterone level with zinc, vit E/C and with good
quality of life and few stress. Practice sport without overtraining, with
short and intense activities. Have sex(ejaculation) 3 (at least) a weeks , especcially
the night before a day with workout. Excitation/frustration increase testosterone levels,
an abstinence of 2 or 3 day can be useful.
Well i will come back on this site to see your message and if you had any question.
