Most of you know me pretty well and I'll tell you, knowing exactly what your hormone levels are can be very very important in this game we play. Of course we all know it's easy as hell to figure them out when taking drugs like prop or suspension, but when you start shooting longer acting esters and combining them with analogues it really becomes a pain in the ass. Then you combine in biological individuality and who the hell knows what's going on in your body.
The only way to really know is to get a hormone test. I highly recommend them for anyone who's taking anything more than a simple beginner cycle. Knowing what your levels are and making sure your hormone levels are not varying all over the place is key in building and maintaining muscle mass!!!
We’ve all been on test cycles, no cycle is complete without it, unless you’re taking arimidex you certainly have to worry about estrogen and the conversion of testosterone to estrogen. Even if you are taking novaldex and/or clomid it may not be enough. If you don’t want to spend the money on arimidex, then having your E1 and E2 levels checked three weeks into the cycle, is one sure fire way to ensure you can control and prevent the onset of gyno, water retention as well as many other estrogen induced side effects.
When coming off, checking estrogen/testosterone ratio's is extremely important, at a time when testosterone levels are dropping rapidly and estrogen and cortisol levels are typically high, ensuring that you're preventative measures are working will help you keep all that hard earned muscle!!! Knowing if you need to increase your aniestrogens, estrogen antagonist, cortisol antagonist or anti-aromatase will make a world of a difference in keeping that muscle!!!
Then think about when you're between cycles, the constant question everyone asks is "How long should I stay off???" "When can I get back on???". Stop the guessing!!!! We all know for most people cycling is the way to go!! The reason is to give the body a break and allow it to readjust its 'set point' to your new body size, allowing you to naturally hold the new muscle that you've just gained. Everyone is always anxious to get back on, we all want to constantly grow, but a rest period is needed. Back to the question, 'How long???'. again for everyone it will be different, also depending on the drugs you've used in the past cycle the time will be different. We all know that drugs
like Suspension and Equipoise allow your HPTA to recover relatively quickly, while drugs like Enanthate and Deca can cause your body to take ages to get back online. Being a good little juice we're all taking our clomid post cycle and helping out HPTA get back online, but when is it back? When have you hormone levels stabilized???? Stop the
guessing!!!!!! Checking your FSH and LH levels ensuring they're stable and back in the normal range, then waiting another two to three weeks, to allow complete recovery, will let you know the precise time to get back on for YOU!!!!!!
They key here is to no longer follow a set rule of what a 'typical' person should take. We all know our dietary requirements are different, we all know our training requirements are different and all our hormone requirements are different!!! We all know the guy who gains 20 lbs of a winny only cycle, or the guy who gets marginal gains off test but grows like a weed off deca. Everyone is different and it's time for us to stop following a 'generic' dosage recommendation. Doing so is fine in the short term, when one is just starting out, but just like training you have to experiment and figure out what works best for YOU. Having empirical data to back up your ' gear experiments' is the best way to find the OPTIMUM cycle for YOU!!!!! Once you figure out how your body reacts to each type of gear you will slowly learn how to optimize your growth, how to pack on muscle like never before! For anyone who's serious about this sport, for anyone who wants to seriously compete at any level, for anyone who competes in any high level
sport, for anyone who wants to look as incredible as possible, hormone test are MANDATORY!!!
Even if you're not a serious competitor, if your goals are just to stack on a few decent pounds, to look as incredible as possible on the beach, all the above still pertains to you. You still need to know what your hormone levels are to ensure you keep as much muscle as possible, let's be honest here, we all pay fortunes in gear per year, keeping as much muscle as possible is just a matter of getting your money's worth!! Talking about money, we've all received a product or two whose' quality we questioned. What possible way do we have to find out if the gear is actually real? Sure you can always get a test done by an independent lab, that's great if you live in Canada or the UK, but if you live in the US and walk into a lab with a controlled substance, unless you have a DEA license, you might as well walk into the police station. Even if you could get it tested, it's going to cost you at least $250+ USD to find out what's in the vial, that is if you know what's supposed to be in it. Then they'll be able to tell you if it's there or not, if you want to find out what's actually in a fake bottle, the tests will run you 1000's of dollars!!!! So what are we going to do? How on earth can we find out what's in this bottle, well if it's a fake finding out what's really in it is no simple task, so lets settle for trying to find out if there actually is product in there. I'm sure we've all shot fake gear before, what other choice do we have?? Most peoples hands are tied when this situation arises, counterfeits these days are just too good!! So let's say you've shot the gear, now what? Simple. Get a hormone test!! Find out your test levels!!! If you're taking a testosterone they'll be through the roof, if you're on some other drug, they'll be suppressed. So if you gear is real, you'll know what results you'd expect to see. If the proper results aren't there, then you know your gear is fake. Time to find that source and give him what he deserves!!!!!!!
No matter who you are or what your goals are, if you're supplementing with hormones you NEED to know where your hormone levels are!!!!! It's just common sense, to maximize gains, minimize muscle loss post cycle, to ensure good health and keep all those unwanted side effects away hormone tests are the way to go!! It's time to stop blindly guessing what's going on in our bodies!!!!
