Hi everyone. I am new in the steroid world, but still not on the juice, just learning and trying to gather as much knowledge as possible to do the things right when the time comes. I have already done my research and read the “Anabolics by Llewellyn”, but still got some questions and hoped you guys could help me. It is the first time I post on a forum, so I hope I am not doing it in the wrong place and feel free to tell me where should I post it. I apologise in advance if u don’t understand me… I am not a native English speaker, so if I may have said some things wrong, I hope u understand it because of the context. Thanks and here they go:
1. Although estrogens seem to be the number 1 enemy, they have their own functions and I believe that in an ideal situation they should be kept at a minimum range, but not ceased. As long as it respects a certain Test:Estr ratio (40:1 for example), it should be alright, isn’t it? Then my question is: how can you reach this situation? I was thinking about two cases:
a. I have read that when you are injecting/consuming a low estrogenic and progestational steroid (such as Deca, Equi or Primo), you stop having estrogens in your system because of their AI properties… that being right, how can you just try to keep at least a minimum of estrogen activity so they can still do their functions?
b. When you are injecting/consuming a high estrogenic/progestational steroid you normally take an aromatase inhibitor to cease their activity. Can you regulate the aromatase inhibition so you still have a minimum amount of estrogens in your system?
I know what you are going to say: excess estrogenic activity means water retention, gyno and body fat accumulation, but WAIT! I am telling you: this hormone is essential for the process of anabolism. It increases glucose utilization, growth hormone secretion and androgen receptor proliferation. My objective is just to keep a minimum amount so you still get the benefits, is it possible?
2. There are two kinds of anti-estrogens: the aromatase inhibitor (such as arimidex or aromasin) and the anti-estrogen per se (such as clomid or nolvadex), am I right? The first ones are mostly used during cycle and the second ones during PCT because their effect on LH and testosterone boosters. My question is the following… Is there any other difference between them? I mean, is there a reason for why we could not use the anti-estrogen kind during cycle as well as for pct? Will it be a waste? Is this somehow related with my first question?
3. This third question is about acne. But it is not the common question about what steroid should I take… Nah. I know it really depends on your own body, nobody knows how you will react to the specific steroid even if it has a low androgenic activity. My questions about foods are the following: for those who had pretty bad acne reactions, do you know which was your Omega 6:Omega 3 Ratio? Were you consuming foods like dairy or peanut butter? Were you consuming simple carbs? Were you eating plenty of veggies and drinking a shitload of water?
And my questions about steroids: was it your first cycle? If it was, was it a high dose for being it a first/newbie cycle? Did you stack it with other compounds?
4. If anybody is following Rich Piana Bigger by the Day Series, he is stacking with Masteron… I read its production stopped around 2002… Is he really buying counterfeit shit or they started producing it again?
5. Normally it is said that you should avoid orals such as Winny or Dbol because its hepaxocity. But… Is not a harder strain on the liver to drink a shitload of alcohol? Also, taking a hepatic protector such as Liv52 or similar, wouldn’t do the job to protect it?
And the last question of all:
6. Proviron (this one also for PCT) as well as Masteron (if they keep producing it) are well known to be stacked with other compounds because it binds with SHBG (sex hormone binding globuline) allowing more free testosterone to be available, thus increasing the effect of the other basic compound.
Shouldn’t a basic Test E cycle (for example) lower somehow your SHBG receptors so you have enough free testosterone? The thing is that testosterone (in general) has a big affinity to bind with SHBG and that is why people use Winny of Dbol: to reduce the number of SHBG receptors. So, a basic testosterone alone cycle being the recommended newbie cycle, is not really the most effective one, right?
So any idea of any of my questions? I hope this leads to a great discussion between the more knowledgeable users in the forum. I don’t know if I am asking too much and too many questions for being new in the forum; should I do some kind of introduction? Just in case: 23yo 173cm 70kg 10%bodyfat (started at 60kg) 7 years training. I have a solid nutrition knowledge from 4 years ago. At one moment I thought training was just that it. Then I found Mark Rippetoe and other knowledgeable people from my country and I have been studying them since my 5th year. There is still plenty to learn. I have had some pretty bad injuries (shoulders, elbows, and knees basically), but I will never give up. Thanks to the injuries I learnt about myofascial massage release. My intention is to keep training until I reach my genetic growth limit, and then start juicing; this way I will have more time to know my body even better: because of my degree I tend to accumulate plenty of stress, and even that I have an excellent exercise form, I tend to be prone to injury, so that is another reason to wait until things get better. Thanks for your time. I appreciate any answer.
