killer post dude. You should add something about gyno, then make it a sticky
Here is a couple additions............
GYNOCOMASTIA
This almost always results from estrogen production from aromatization. Study the hormones that aromatize and if you use them be darn sure that you have an estrogen blocker available such as nolvadex or clomid. Estrogen inhibitors such as arimidex will work as well.
Here are a few hormones that partially convert to estrogen. Testosterone , D-bol, Boldenone, nandrolone. Boldenone converts at only 50% the rate of testosterone and nandrolone converts at about one third the rate.
The very powerful steroid anadrol does cause significant water retention but it does not directly convert to estrogen. Although anadrol does not aromatize it does directly activate the estrogen receptor....it is an estrogen agonist. With this in mind we must understand that an estrogen inhibitor like arimidex will not help prevent gyno from anadrol. The only thing that will work are estrogen blockers like nolvadex and clomid.
Some are afraid to use nandrolone since they think this hormone causes frequent progestogenic gyno. While it is true that nandrolone can cause gyno from progesterone it is EXTREMELY RARE at doses of 400mg/week. Usually the gyno the bro complains about is from the test that he is also on......oh, you say, but I used nolvadex to stop it but it didn't go away.....okay but you where too late bro...too late!
Be sure to jump on nolvadex as soon as the nipples get sensitive...better yet use it all the time.
Trenbolone acetate can cause gyno and the cause is not clear. May I add that this is even more rare than gyno from nandrolone but it can happen and if you get it then the only thing that really works is to stop using the hormone immediately. The same goes for gyno from nandrolone although some say winstrol can help prevent gyno from nandrolone.
I am not aware of any studies that prove that tren is progestogenic and tren does not aromatize yet gyno has been reported from tren only cycles
MENTAL ADDICTION
Yes bros...many of use are mentally addicted to roids and have a hard time staying off even 50% of the time. Also, sooner or latter you will have to just settle for test replacement therapy as you simply cannot continue to do muscle building cycles forever.Don't let steroids control your life.....you be the boss!
