**The Anabolic BRIDGE: By Ross**

[eddymerckx]

That is a misconception about Bridging, you don't bridge ALL YEAR.

At the most, I stay on a bridge for 3-4 months TOPS.

but the bridge is between one cycle and another--correct?

What I'd like to see are some reports and studies that have been done showing people who were shutdown harshly from a major cycle being tested to show how low their hpta was, then being given a smaller dose of different compounds and test being done along the way to show what percentages their hpta increased during the low dose administration.

This is something I've been thinking about, and I thought I remembered reading somewhere that a small dose (10mg) of dianabol hindered hpta recovery none, but provided enough of the compound to preserve muscle gains and strength made during cycle at a much more effective rate.

I'd love to see some studies further into this concerning different compounds.

This is absolutely correct!

I have an article published on our SSF forums, just google "Supreme Sports Enhancements"

So a bridge is a great way to surpress the hpta thanks for the write up.

lol

Ross, no offense, but you're arguing about something by providing evidence from something you've written. how is that evidence? Can we have an accredited source?

Repost.

Effect of non aromatizable androgens on LHRH and TRH responses in primary testicular failure.

Spitz IM, Margalioth EJ, Yeger Y, Livshin Y, Zylber-Haran E, Shilo S.

We have assessed the gonadotropin, TSH and PRL responses to the non aromatizable androgens, mesterolone and fluoxymestrone, in 27 patients with primary testicular failure. All patients were given a bolus of LHRH (100 micrograms) and TRH (200 micrograms) at zero time. Nine subjects received a further bolus of TRH at 30 mins. The latter were then given mesterolone 150 mg daily for 6 weeks. The remaining subjects received fluoxymesterone 5 mg daily for 4 weeks and 10 mg daily for 2 weeks. On the last day of the androgen administration, the subjects were re-challenged with LHRH and TRH according to the identical protocol. When compared to controls, the patients had normal circulating levels of testosterone, estradiol, PRL and thyroid hormones. However, basal LH, FSH and TSH levels, as well as gonadotropin responses to LHRH and TSH and PRL responses to TRH, were increased. Mesterolone administration produced no changes in steroids, thyroid hormones, gonadotropins nor PRL. There was, however, a reduction in the integrated and incremental TSH secretion after TRH. Fluoxymesterone administration was accompanied by a reduction in thyroid binding globulin (with associated decreases in T3 and increases in T3 resin uptake). The free T4 index was unaltered, which implies that thyroid function was unchanged. In addition, during fluoxymesterone administration, there was a reduction in testosterone, gonadotropins and LH response to LHRH. Basal TSH did not vary, but there was a reduction in the peak and integrated TSH response to TRH. PRL levels were unaltered during fluoxymesterone treatment.(ABSTRACT TRUNCATED AT 250 WORDS

1984... seems you keep up to date with recent studies then lol

lol...

Was just about to say that. Tatyana already said smthg about providing more recent studies.

Did the TESTICLES change in the past 20 years?

Is the male HPTA somewhow DIFFERENT than it was in 1984?

LOL, you guys...

So let me get this, how come in supplement advertising, they use recent studies in supplements to prove / suggest an increase in natural test levels and gaining "14 lbs of bodyweight in 7 days" or whatever it is your products claim. Why do they come up with recent studies all the time. Is it becuase the human body has undergone some sort of a genetic mutation that I wasn't aware of in the past 20 yrs? Darwin will be flippin in his grave...tsk, tsk, tsk at your comments

Fact remains recent studies are credible. Old studies are a thing of the past. Bodybuilding and steroids has evolved immensly over the years.

Look at Arnold when he was Mr. Olympia and look at Jay Cutler now. See the difference?

Provide me with something credible and a recent study, then we have something to argue and discuss. I will NOT accept studies undertaken by the infamous Ross.
