are there more ways to lower your hematocrit than donating blood? i can't do it that way.
If ya'll could read you would see he says FOR YOUNGER ATHLETES this is true.
How about for older ones, Emeric? I am 54 and do a lower dose regimen.

I really have no idea what Emeric is driving at in his original post. I know Phil has said Deca reduces gains also.
To those who say they agree with Emeric: will you from now on only use testosterone? Also, could you explain what Emeric means? He's not just saying Test is best - he's saying adding Deca is bad.
Although there isn't much if any research on stacking steroids there's a pretty good theoretical foundation for doing so (for best gains). First, different steroids activate different genes having to do with muscle growth. Different steroids, such as Deca, are good at increasing muscle derived IGF-1. And so on.
Emeric, what about compounds whose benefits do not appear to be androgen receptor mediated? Like you, I always have felt that stacking two compounds that act directly on the androgen receptor to be a waste but what about stacking androgens like test or tren with anabolics like EQ or drol?
If you wanted to maximize muscle growth through every pathway possible that is.

the structures of androgen responsive genes vary in such a way that some genes are more readily activated by certain androgens than by others. The set of genes readily switched on by a given androgen determines the net physiological effect of that androgen. This theory readily explains how an anabolic steroid like oxandrolone, whose AR binding affinity is quite low, can be so anabolic: it happens to preferentially turn on genes whose products promote skeletal muscle anabolism, while failing to activate genes which promote virilization.
My take on all this (and I'm not trying to put words in Emeric's
mouth) is . . . while many are trying to figure out what the
maximum amount of steroids they can consume and still
survive and not be a walking corpse, he is very scientifically
trying to ascertain what the minimum amount is required
to maximize gains.
Correct me if I'm wrong here but I think his philosophy is the
same when it comes to training. And much like Phil (from what
I have read, and I read everything they both write), they are
trying to understand what the minimum amount of training and
steroids is required to stimulate and provide a positive environment
for muscular growth.
We all can, and do to some extent, tolerate much more drugs
and training than we actually need, that which is beneficial. But
why do more when you can get by with less?
Doing more of anything can and sometimes does, place an un-
necessary burden on the body and can actually be counter productive.
You need to find a balance, and sometimes it is a delicate one.
Hard to find and monitor yes, but the results you get from following
their advice speaks for itself as many on this board have testified.
Hmmmm... I find this a very interesting theory. Do you feel all nandrolones to be of little value when taking testosterone?
Sexual dysfunction is a given, that is why we have been told to stack the nandrolone with testosterone - to offset side effects such as these.Well, nadrolones can cause erectical dysfunction, the erectical dysfunction is attributed to the weaker action of dihydronadrolone in the penis.
Sexual dysfunction is a given, that is why we have been told to stack the nandrolone with testosterone - to offset side effects such as these.
But looking at the nandrolone from another angle, is nandrolone not effective in contributing to a positive nitrogen balance thereby contributing to an anabolic effect? I realize that testosterone also contributes to this positive nitrogen balance but is it to the same (or higher) degree?
Also, what about trenbolone? Trenbolone is a derivative of nandrolone. Would trenbolone be inclusive in this theory as well?
