I dont get it.

I really don't know whats going on here my cycle should have "kicked" in by now, I am in week 5 of my cycle of 500mg Test Enanthate/week and even though I've had some good results so far (Weight went from 187 to 212 thus far), the feel and strength of my workouts aren't consistent, actually the majority of them lately have been lacking in the "oomph" department. I mean once while Ill have a really great workout, great pumps and all but that hasn't happened all too often lately. I am still eating quite alot, and I get anywhere from 7-9 hours of sleep a night (I awake around 4AM to have a shake and some eggs). My split is as follows:
S: Legs
M:Off
Tull
Wush
Th:Off
F: Shoulders/Traps
S:Off
Repeat.

I lift as heavy as I can for 6-8 reps and I do 6-8 sets for smaller groups and 10-12 for larger groups. I am on finasteride, which I plan to drop pretty soon to see if there is any change in performance and strength, though I am worried about my hair. Will nizoral/spiro/minoxodil/polysorbate 80 which I use ED be sufficient for my hair?
Anyone have any feedback/suggestions on whats amiss here? Its really puzzling me, I dont know what I am doing wrong here. K for help, peace.

What exactly is your question bro? You went from 187 to 212 in 5 weeks...you may need more calories.

I am wondering why I have seen only marginal improvents (even no improvement in some lifts) in strength and why I don't have better feeling workouts even this late into the cycle? Thats whats bothering me.

Ah, I just read that you are on proscar...that's probably it.

DHT is what gives us that workout agression and strength boost from test. Finasteride blocks that conversion.

Thanks Andy, can I drop the finasteride and rely on all those other products I mentioned to help my hair while on cycle? And how long you think before the finasteride clears out of my body? K for you bro.

Definately. I couldn't imagine taking test and not getting that androgenic "kick" from it but I guess some people need to be cautious.

I don't, I don't feel comfortable giving you an answer on what will happen if you drop it.

I think maybe adding a little dbol would help instead of dropping the finasteride.

I think Ill drop it, I wholeheartedly believe the finasteride is the reason Ive felt like shit lately and its what got me sooo fucking bloated. Like I said, I have nizoral/spiro/poly/minoxodil for my hair and I hope those work fine, taking them all together has to be helping my hair. I really miss the workout aggression I use to have and the strength leaps, I want those back!
If I drop the finasteride now when can I expect it to leave my body? Ive been on at 1mg a day for about 3-4 weeks now. Secondly, is it still possible for any test left in my body to convert to DHT?

I'm not sure exactly on the half life of it but I'm assuming it shouldn't be too long. Also any test in your system a partial amount of it naturally gets converted into dht just as test also gets converted into estrogen through aromatization. If you were on it though bro because you want to keep your hair if you have a genetic predisposition for losing hair than I suggest you stay on it if you want to keep it. Just a suggestion. Just wondering is your sex drive down at all too? Damn those dht blocking agents. But again, some people need it.

Thats what I dont get....my sex drive is off the fucking scale! But like I said above Im going to drop it, all the rest taken together should help my hair, its the most Ive ever done for my hair thus far. Plus I want to try and harden up again, Ive gotten too bloated and softlooking.

Bump, how can my sex drive still be up and yet my strength down from DHT inhibition?
