There are very few studies on how these sopposed "suppreissive compounds" are infact suppressive and dont cause total shutdown themselves. There are one or two studies (one on dianabol 100mg/ED for an extended peroid) that states HPTA shutdown wasnt achieved. But the other compounds in Ross's list there is no clinical data.
Bodybuilders use different doses to ones used for aid and cancer patients, therfore its more of a guesing game on whats "suppresive" and whats not.
There are a number of studies that state Anavar (very low dose) was fairly suppressive to the HPTA (40% I believe) so what sort of inhibtion can one expect on 60mg/ED for 6-8 weeks. There is also a study on Winstrol stating the same.
When combining "suppressive compounds" this conclusion of "suppression, not shutdown" become even more hazardous.
Androgens can also be directly inhibtiive to the pituitary and leydig cells, which Ross's theory doesnt comprehend. Though this is a subject no-one fully understands yet.
I've spoken with an Endo regarding these theories and other theory's Ross has, which have been refuted.
