cortisol controll / blocker what do you use ??

Vit c, lots of sleep. No stress and minimal coffee!

Basically this. Cortisol is misunderstood. Don't worry about it. Catabolism is equally important as Anabolism for gains.

Vitamin C, in large doses before exercise helps a bunch, IMHO. Great sleep, and fasting conditions that stimulate HGH do more to combat protein catabolism than a cortisol blocker IMHO.

yeah sorry i should of been more to the point im thinking that while your on aas an your body starts to try an find homeostasis by rasing estro an cortisol levels lowering both these could help great deal in continuing the rate of witch one grows .

so dose anyone no what short of drugs that could be used to lower cortsol levels
 
Use ERASE from PES.

Like aromasin, but it also blocks cortisol.

You need like 10g Vitamin C/day to block cortisol - thats a ton.
 
Why do you feel the need for a cortisol blocker, if you don't mind me asking?

Cortisol is a very catabolic hormone, the opposite of what you want. No one wants high levels of a catabolic hormone. Cortisol levels can rise in your body when there is an increase in anabolic compounds, such as testosterone. Your body does this as a natural mechanism to basically fight your increased anabolism and it does it by increasing cortisol.
 
Anti-Catabolic Effects Of Anabolic Steroids

Many athletes have said that anabolic steroids help them train harder and recover faster. They also said that they had difficulty making progress (or even holding onto the gains) when they were off the drugs. Anabolic steroids may have an anti-catabolic effect. This means that the drugs may prevent muscle catabolism that often accompanies intense exercise training. Presently, this hypothesis has not been fully proven.

Anabolic steroids may block the effects of hormones such as cortisol involved in tissue breakdown during and after exercise. Anabolic steroids may prevent tissue from breaking down following of an intense work-out. This would speed recovery. Cortisol and related hormones, secreted by the adrenal cortex, also has receptor sites within skeletal muscle cells. Cortisol causes protein breakdown and is secreted during exercise to enhance the use of proteins for fuel and to suppress inflammation that accompanies tissue injury.

Anabolic steroids may block the binding of cortisol to its receptor sites, which would prevent muscle breakdown and enhances recovery. While this is beneficial while the athlete is taking the drug, the effect backfires when he stops taking it. Hormonal adaptations occur in response to the abnormal amount of male hormone present in the athlete's body. Cortisol receptor sites and cortisol secretion from the adrenal cortex increase.

Anabolic steroid use decreases testosterone secretion. People who stop taking steroids are also hampered with less male hormone than usual during the "off" periods. The catabolic effects of cortisol are enhanced when the athlete stops taking the drugs and strength and muscle size are lost at a rapid rate.

The rebound effect of cortisol and its receptors presents people who use anabolic steroids with several serious problems: (1) psychological addiction is more probable because they become dependent on the drugs. This is because they tend to lose strength and size rapidly when off steroids. To stave off deconditioning, athletes may want to take the drugs for long periods of time to prevent falling behind. (2) Long-term administration increases the chance of serious side-effects. (3) Cortisol suppresses the immune system. This makes steroid users more prone to diseases, such as cold and flu, during the period immediately following steroid administration.
