Hey guys, I'm completely new to lifting, and this question has nothing to do with gear.. I'm 21, and my family has a nasty history of hairloss. I started finasteride 2 years ago in preparation for what I figured was guaranteed baldness, and I've done very well in maintaining my hair. Besides a little temple recession which is generally normal at this age, I have no signs of hairloss.
Finasteride I know lowers DHT levels by preventing conversion of testosterone into DHT, and because of that it raises circulating testosterone levels. However, that free testosterone can easily convert into estrogen and thus leads to higher than normal estrogen levels...which is generally the case in finasteride users.
My question is this...should I consider using Arimidex in very low doses in conjunction with finasteride? I can't see how it would harm me in any way, and if anything it would probably do some good. It would return my hormones to a more youthful level, get rid of that excess estrogen, etc.. Actually, since testosterone is so anabolic even compared to DHT, it would probably help me out in the lifting department as well.
I may be off the wall, and that is why I'm asking
Anyone have any thoughts?
