icantstayaway:Yea, I am a comp bodybuilder. The back to when we are 18 part was just a toss out, because that is when most men are at there highest free rage test levels. But, i will be on test therapy the rest of my life. The same as a woman post menopause with estrogen therapy. Low test levels can lead to NUMEROUS health consequences (ie. low libdo, loss of muscle tissue, bone density, tendon and ligament functions as well as overall body function, organ tissue, etc...). To each his own, I can tell you, it will make a night and day difference in your overall well being and general health...just my 2 cents though
Don Juan: I will separate your questions: 1) When I speak of HRT (hormone replacement therapy) or TRT (Testosterone Replacement Therapy) i am not referring to Cycling on and off steroidal compounds at high doses (ie. more than 1000mg of any one or combination of compounds for periods of 8-14 weeks). I am referring to a low dose 1cc(200-250mg/wk - 10 days). Bitch Tits (or Gynomatecia) is caused by the increase of Estrogen (the female hormone) in the male body. Every man has a certain balancing system in their body that keeps the Estrogen and a certain percentage of Testosterone. Example...if you increase the Test from 200 nano-grams per decalitier to lets say, 1000 nano-grams, your estrogen will raise as well to keep the hormones in balance to the bodies predetermined levels. What causes Gynomatecia is when someone is on HIGH levels (ie. cycling steroids) and comes off suddenly the estrogen levels remain high, but the test levels fall off (since the body quit producing its own naturally). With HRT or TRT the levels would never be high enough to cause Gyno. However, you will experience some level of Testicular Atrophy (balls shrink). NO, your dick itself does not shrink (misconception) actually the opposite, it gets a little fuller because you have more red blood cells in your body with HRT/TRT or cycles. On an actual cycle estrogen can be put in check with Anti-Estrogen (ie. Nolvadex, Armidex, etc...)remedies and natural test and be pushed to restart with certain items (ie, Clomid, HCG). Since most men have NO idea about keeping levels in check or what to check for it is best that HRT or TRT be prescribed from DR's. That way they can check your blood levels every 3-6 months to make sure everything is GTG. EVERYONE, should have there FULL blood profiles done every 6-12 months, for general health screening! 2)Proviron. Yea, it is good. I use it in precontest cycles since it DOES NOT convert to estrogen of any type. But, I wouldn't use it on its own. It really would not do much. Unless you are already lean <10% BF, and vascular...if so, it would get you a little leaner and more vascular. Best when used with other products. 3)Additional Research can be found all over the internet. However, in America, steroids and testosterone are very taboo. They have a negative light in main stream media. Most University Studies that you will find will come from the European nations. ALot of my experience and trials comes from 15 years in the iron game (gym, fitness..etc....and discussion boards such as this for those topics).
