I read the other thread.......where do you get this varying level of supressionVSshutdown?
The body recognises ANY excess androgens (all above drugs are androgenic allthough they vary in strength). And turns off the HPTA. The study you cited was a bad example, VERY VERY low dose of var in teenagers is far from what we use and they were still supressed. Any of his cycles will have a shutdown. Not like say an estered drug (test or nandrolone), but HPTA inhibition nevertheless.
AAS shut you down, he wants to cycle to put on good lean mass, so i say use test.......your case is different.....you dont want the risk of aromatizing to estro and the sides you get.
My advice is not dangerous at all......if you want to juice, prepare to be shut down.
Im premed/nurse practitioner student, so i look at the science behind it.....there is no way around HPTA supression if you are using juice.
