I have a question, so I got rid of my natty card pretty as I`m pretty young, which I don`t know if it was a mistake or not I say no, I`m not gonna mention my age. Anyways, I was very careful because I came out to one of the coaches (IFBB) who used to train my dad who played professional baseball so he guided me throughout either way I had made my research 100%. Anyways I am 5`9 I was 164 when I started and I am currently 194 in a span of about 10 months, now my question is. Even if on gear since I`m still young (teen young, but not in high school) that muscle maturity has a lot to do with it also correct? As my body is still developing? Which I know you`ll say yah I should`ve waited till my full peak but I did what I did so that`s the question about muscle maturity

Make sure your PCT was 100% effective, you might want to get some bloodwork done. Keep up on your gym training to try to maintain your gains. The worst things that can happen to you at such an early age are for you to disrupt your bodies natural hormone production in a lasting way and for you to lose your hard earned gains. The benefits of gear are best measured after your PCT when you compare where you are vs where you started. I`m not going to judge right wrong or otherwise to cycle at a young age, it`s a choice and you made it. I`m just suggesting you roll with it in a mature and productive way to maximize your benefit. If you are going to cycle regularly I`d highly recommend no more than once per year and do it on your off-season so you can clean up in time for your tests. just be smart about it, and edge is an edge, overboard is overboard. Diet exercise and sleep are crucial no matter what your age. I can almost guarantee every comment you get will be just don`t do it.

I think muscle maturity doesn`t come into play till early thirties and is something more visible then anything. You can see it in certain pro`s like Seth Feroce, when he started was young too and you can see the detail in muscle fibers when posing/flexing from then to now. Be sure to stay safe so you can age and do the same. Sounds like you have a good team behind you. Follow a strict PCT and maybe run it a little longer than normal. Maybe we`ll see you as pro someday! Best of luck mate.

My first cycle I was 21 and still to this day I feel like the foundation of muscle I got from that cycle is still with me to this day. Nothing compares to that first cycle. Overtime the muscle breakdown and rebuilding will create that muscle maturity just like if you keep cutting your skin in the same spot it creates a bigger and bigger scar. (Crappy analogy but you get my point). It all comes down to breaking down muscle and then feeding your body amino acids to rebuild that thicker and thicker. One important thing though is you need to make sure you are feeding your body the proper macro nutrients to gain the optimal muscle to fat ratio.

Usually 20-40mgs per day (20 works for me but some guys need more) for about a week while adjusting your AI to a higher dose simultaneously should gum up your receptors enough for symptoms to subside while your AI brings total estrogen back to an acceptable level. Nolvadex wont reverse gyno but if you catch it quick enough it will halt the progression of its growth.

Nolva was actually invented for breast cancer. It was used by woman suffering from breast cancer. It attaches to estrogen receptors in the breast and starves the cancer cells of estrogen and preventing them from growing. You can use Nolva or Clomid to easily reveres a newly formed Gyno. You have to manage your estrogen too, for that you need Arimidex or Letro to lower it and prevent it from happening again, otherwise once the Nolva is out of your system if your estrogen is high you will get Gyno again. One thing to note Nolva doesn`t work if your gyno that is developed, at that point you have to do a surgury.

I recently heard from a certain coach that Nolvadex would be good to run along with Anadrol since it is basically a serm and would help with the way Anadrol sometimes kicks the estrogen receptors into high gear. I also heard of a good lean bulk cycle consisting of running Deca for the first 8 weeks followed by tren for the following 8 weeks after that.. So I was going to run this.. No Deca and Tren are not run at the same time, one after the other.. So yes, Caber is on hand but I have never had any bad sides except for night sweats with Tren. But, I was gonna help kick start this by running Anadrol the first 4 weeks.. yes I have aromasin but was also gonna throw in some Nolva to help combat anything from Anadrol until, I just read that Nolva does not pair well with Progesterone type gear (Deca, Tren)…. So my question is, why or what is it that Nolva would be bad running with Deca or Tren?? What adverse affects? Thank you for the patience in reading all of this..

For estrogen control an AI would be better than a SERM. AI`s lower the conversion from test to estrogen and a SERM blocks already existing estrogen from reaching the receptor….two different concepts. So for your anadrol I`d just run an AI to combat estrogenic side effects vs using Nolva. Yes Nolva works but an AI is better for this situation.

Depending on how much anadrol your using an AI might be fine but anadrol is not estrogenic at all. Even though estrogenic side effect may occur letro would work better if you develop these side effects but what ever you decide dont run anything unless side effects start to happen. Now with the deca 8 weeks is really not that long for deca. Its deconate ester has a long half life I think its 14 or 15 days. Dont quote me on that. So speak blood levels wont be reached until week 6 or 7. Then you discontinue and start tren assuming its enanthate it will take 4 or 5 weeks to reach peak. You say your not running them at the same time but you are deca will be present for another month. Not sure if that`s wise I have read running those 2 isnt a great thing tondoni would run them separately for 10 weeks with test of corse.

The nolva would be a SUBSTITUTE for an AI, not something to run in addition. The modern reasoning behind this thinking is that aromatase inhibitors are harsh compound and often overused, and that simply BLOCKING the estrogen at the breast receptor site is better than acutally inhibiting it all together.

Start Aromasin every other day. If it doesn`t go down in a week, do it daily. It`s important you observe the difference between a lump and an increase in bodyfat. Most people think they are getting gyno when it`s really just an increase in water and bodyfat. If nipples are sensitive, then you know it`s estrogenic related and an AI is needed. Save the Nolvadex for your PCT.

Up your AI for starters and you can burn out lumps also with your nolva but you gotta go high dose. How much are you taking? Either start with 12.5 ED or if you`re already on it increase dose/frequency. For nolva this might sound crazy but ive seen high dose at 60 mgs for 2 weeks, then 20 for 2 weeks work like a charm for bad lumps. This is excessively HIGH but it`ll burn it out. If your lumps are not that extreme go 40 for 2 weeks then 20 for two.

FSH and LH are should be low. Reason for this is your taking test and your body is not sending the signals to your testies (FSH/LH) are signaling hormones for you to product test naturally. Just so you know your progesterone is also high BC The other gear your running. Your body converts it into progesterone which is a normal process. Ie test converts into estrogen, DHT, and etc… now to your question of how to raise you FSH and LH levels. You’ll need to add those hormones back into your system with adding Hcg. They sell it here on naps under Ancillary/Cycle support. You’ll need to inject Subq with an insulin needle, but you’ll also need to learn how to reconstruction it with Bac Water. I recommend adding about 500iu a week to bring your levels to normal. You can find how tos on YouTube as a resource. Good luck.

It`s normal because you have exogenous testosterone in your system. Hcg can raise things to normal upon cessation of the cycle. Get rHCG, r is for recombinant, recombinant is synthetic. Regular hcg without the r or the wording recombinant is directly from pregnant female urine and medical literature clearly states although all precautions are taken there is still no guarantee that you will not eventually contract a disease (perhaps fatal too as was the case with hgh before the first recombinant variety was artificially made).

First of all, kudos on getting mid-cycle bloodwork done at all. It`s tedious but important. As everyone else has said, FSH and LH hormone being low is normal during an AAS cycle and is no cause for concern. And, obviously, your testosterone being elevated is also to be expected since you`re on-cycle. I don`t typically see steroid users testing for progesterone (mainly prolactin, and only when running a 19nor like deca or tren) and am not familiar enough with the hormone to accurately assess if your progesterone levels need to be modified. From the research I`ve done, progesterone can only be biosynthesized from pregnenolone, not from testosterone, boldenone, mesterolone, or methandrostenolone – so it`s elevated presence remains a mystery to me. But seeing as how proviron lowers SHBG and progesterone raises SHBG, perhaps your body is raising progesterone in an attempt to keep SHBG levels in normal ranges. I`d be curious to see what your estradiol levels look like considering you`re taking 0.5mg of arimidex daily. If your e2 is below normal, you should switch to 0.5mg every other day. If not, I wouldn`t change a thing.

After the esters in Sustanon clear and you`re ready to begin your post cycle therapy, Nolvadex can be ran at varying dosages depending on how you handle it. In general though, I would start at 40mg per day, split in to two 20mg doses for four weeks. After 4 weeks is completed I would begin to drop the dose. Personally, I cut my dose in half down to 20mg per day split it to two 10mg doses. But I`m not a fan of Nolvadex and find that after 4 weeks of use I dislike how I feel on it at standard PCT doses. Instead what I like better, is low dose Nolvadex combined with Clomid for a longer period of time. But even in this method I`ll still drop the Nolva out completely after 6 to 8 weeks. Which brings up another point, pay not attention to PCT protocols with finite durations. PCT is not over after 4 weeks. It`s over when you`ve recovered. Once you`ve recovered you`ll want to wait a while before going back on Sustanon. How long is something only you can answer. But my approach in the past was always to err on the side of what seemed like a long time. For example, when I first started out, I`d take at least 9 months of from the day that my PCT bloodwork came back looking good. Either way. just stay healthy and safe over all else.

Wait two weeks after your last shot to begin PCT. then run 40mg per day for he first two weeks, 20mg per day for weeks 3 and 4. The rule of thumb is “time on +pct = time off”, so for a twelve week test cycle, you should take a 16 week break between cycles.

The best way to do it would be take one Sunday/Thursday or Monday/Friday. Because while it is a 5-7 day half life it depends on your body with 500 mg of test you might have some Aromatization in that 2 day window and remember nolva is a serm so it only stops the aromatization of the estrogen in certain receptors. So your best bet is to either take it twice a week or run .5 adex eod to completely mitigate any aromatization.

I would not run nolvadex on cycle, nolva is more a pct drug. I would do anastrazole or aromasin on cycle as they block the aromataze enzye, where nolva just blocks the estrogen at certain receptors (most notably the nipples). Overall nolva is not a very effective estrogen blocker especially if you are taking anabolics that aromatize at high rates like testosterone. I would do anastrazole .5 mg 2x a week and assess your tolerance, some people are more sensitive to estrogen so you could up it to 3x a week. Hope this helps good luck!
