NO MY MAN....
SUPRESSION is not the same as SHUTDOWN(Defined as COMPLETE PITUITARY/TESTICULAR inhibtion) I don't mean to be rude, but do more research. Saying this is misleading and incorrect. This ditinction is a FACT.
The HPTA recognizes synthetic androgens and triggers a negative feedback loop. HOWEVER, the extent to which a compound INFLUENCES the HPTA is dependent on several variables, one of which is how WELL IT BINDS TO THE A_R.(Androgen Receptor) This determines how ANDROGENIC a compound is. Estrogen also effects the HPTA. ESTROGEN IS THE WORST. Estrogen causes almost immediate PITUITARY/TESTICULAR inhibition. SO--there are two things that determine degree of SUPRESSION--Androgenicity and Estrogenicity.
Ergo, a COMPOUND that is is not ESTROGENIC and has LITTLE androgenic activity, will subsequently have LESS of an impact on HPTA function. This is a FACT. I have expereinced this.
TESTOSTERONE is ESTROGENIC and ANDROGENIC--do the math.
I hate to be the one to say this, but frankly you are rude. I have spoke with MANY bro's last couple of days that feel the same, I am sure not speaking for everyone, dont get me wrong, but it really is your way or the highway in your posts, whether it's your thread or not. You're the new guy here, and jump in telling everyone to they are wrong REGARDLESS of their input and then try to sell more TBOL !!!
I think you should give insight and recommendations based on personal experiance like everyone else and not tell everyone else they are wrong and need to do more research. I myself have been doing this for almost 22 years now, you're probably not even that old, and I have seen so much bad advice that you truely believe is correct. That's fine, you'll learn someday I sure as hell had to learn alot of things that way.
But just for a laugh before I posted this my buddy sitting here on his wireless laptop, who once won the Arnold Classic, and by the way is a doctor was worried when he read your view on your posts, he exclaimed "I hope all these guys not follow this bad advice, people will really fuck themselves up" No shutdown, dont do pct, dude chill out... I am sure I'll take hell for this, but I dont care, speaking my mind and when a doctor with bodybuilding background laughs, it's time to set the record strait... You're doing your home work, you're learning well, but you have a ways to go and you shouldn't PUSH things on people, remember right or wrong, (wrong in my book) alot of people here (kids) follow this advice like we are doctors...I dont want someone getting hurt from bad advice, and when you are SO SURE you are correct, it cements it into their heads that you must be.
Dont expect me to get into a huge rampage of an argument with you, and dont expect me to go back and forth with you like many others that disagree with you have been, I have better things to do. I just think we could all get along abit better if we didn't push advice on people, let them make their own decisions. I simply posted about years of experience with a particular substance earlier, monitored blood level, before during and after cycle, my doc worked with me all the way, and read many studies that concurred with my own findings, you just flat out told me I was wrong and closeminded......that's why I took 5 minutes of my life to write this......I wont waste another 5 on it.
Peace
