[Francisco d'Anconia]

Trust your gut brother. I'd still use the finasteride.

Yeah that's what iwas tbinking, I was gonna use that combined with the finasteride, but it looks like id have to start taking it 2 months before my cycle

DHT is the most potent of the male steroid hormones - roughly 10 times stronger than testosterone. Some even refer to testosterone as a "prohormone" because of its relative weakness compared to DHT.

So, by taking finasteride to reduce the amount of DHT in your blood, you're theoretically doing yourself a disservice.

What about a less potent approach like Saw Palmetto gelcaps @ 400mg/day?

Also, would you suggest the best method to combat hair loss on cycle would be to use a Nizoral type product that blocks DHT at the site-specific area of the hair follicle?

Anyone know how to dose this stuff? Is it jus one a day?

ive got this on hand as a precautionary measure to avoid hair loss for my first test e cycle (10 weeks), will this have any effect on the result i see from the test because i was gonna start taking it a week before my first pin? i have letro as well, i'm not taking any chance when it comes to my hair or gyno lol.

Testosterone conversion's to DHT is part of its effects. I would not be too quick to get rid of DHT all together, it will hinder gains and Sexual functions.

I don't think finasteride completely wipes out DHT at the 1mg dose. People still just get really really low levels and that's when you supplying the normal human levels of testosterone. When you start injecting testosterone, I'm betting the DHT levels will still be at a decent level even with 1mg, which is why some people say it needs to be bumped to a higher dose or to use dutasteride. Whether finasteride does some other shit besides that is another story. I don't see why someone can't just throw in a lower dose of masteron or proviron on cycle along with the finasteride, unless they drop hair even at the smallest doses or provide no libido/body comp benefits.

I'll also be running beast for the first four weeks

I don't think it's going to effect the cycle that much. The finasteride dosage was made for a normal individual not taking anabolics. If you consider that the test levels will be 3x the normal rate. I'd assume you might gain 2-3 lbs less. So say you would gain 12-17 lbs instead of 15-20. But I doubt it will really effect it that much if at all.

This is my first cycle so I was hoping to gain 20lbs and keep 7-8
