HPTA Shut Down Question

[Tranzlogic]

Hey guys!

So a question has been stirring in my mind as of late as I have been researching and learning all I can on different things. This question doesn't relate to me personally, it's just a general question I have regarding AAS stacking. I searched around but didn't really yield any results that I could find.

Question is: Obviously AAS is going to shut down your HPTA but I often see people make statements such as "man ___ shut me down hard!" or something to that effect. But I notice they are usually just referring to a single compound. So, if one was talking say 750mg/week of test as a base, they are obviously going to be shut down, so is taking another compound such as say, mast, tren, var, deca, etc. going to shut you down that much more? I would think shut down is shut down and maybe some combinations or compounds are just a little harder to recover from? Or is that what they mean when they make statements such as that? Just curious and I'm sure you knowledgeable guys here have the answer.

certain AAS will 'shut you down' quicker than others. tren ace is a perfect example of that. you can tell cause your nuts will start shrinking quicker. to combat this hcgenerate and hcg work very well on cycle to keep your nuts plump going into PCT.. if you don't run them your nuts will turn into raisins deep in a cycle and you know your are suppressed

also certain AAS will 'shut you down' for a longer time because the esters are very stubborn and don't clear the body for a while. deca is a perfect example of that. until AAS is out of your system your body will begin the recovery process. deca can stick around for 5 weeks and even longer. so basically your last injection of deca it will stay for a long time and keep your body from recovering. this is why deca is a bad idea for newbs or guys who like to run multiple cycles throughout the year.

every AAS will shut you down, when you introduce something anabolic or androgenic in the body the body will notice that and will naturally start shutting down your HPTA. this is why a PCT that covers all bases is important to speed up recovery

being 'shutdown' is a phrase that is used, but actually i prefer the word 'suppressed' really no shut thing as being totally shut down unless your LH is at 0.

Some people think that anything will shut you down and that's not true. The body still produces some test, even if you're on HRT. So yes, higher dosages and longer cycles will shut you down more. Adding compounds like tren or deca will also adversely effect libido, leading people to believe they're shut down even harder.

Thanks for the replies guys! Much appreciated. That's pretty much what I thought. I guess I was just taking those kinds of statements out of context.

Can you say more about the above statement...are you talking about a particular compound that will not cause shut down? I am curious....

Thanks in advance.

I meant "any amount for any amount of time." That's not true. Although ANY steroid will suppress, there's no way that a month of 500 mgs of Primo is the same as 3 months of a gram of test. The more you do, the longer the recovery -- which is another reason I prefer shorter cycles.
