Please explainHaving high estrogen is also anabolic but can cause acne and blood clots. There are many people who run Nolva everyday with their test blasts.
I don't think the IGF reduction is a big problem.
Please explain
Wow. that’s some wild shitA recent study on hormone therapy supports that estrogen can directly improve muscle growth from strength training in women.
Other research on oral contraceptives has found that although most research points to neutral or negative effects, pills with 30 mcg ethinyl estradiol may actually improve muscle growth.
Estrogen's primary effects are similar in men and women, so these findings likely also apply to men. For example, a widely reported side-effect of aromatase inhibitors (drugs that lower estrogen levels) is joint pain in both men and women.
In fact, estrogen's anabolic effect is likely part of the reason why women can gain just as much muscle as men, given the same baseline muscle mass.
Women have far less testosterone than men, but they generally have much more estrogen, which compensates.
Women also tend to recover much quicker than men due to estrogen.
Estrogen aids in muscle repair.
Estrogen is anti-catabolic and prevents muscle loss.
Estrogen protects your joints, bones and tendons from injury.
Estrogen does not make you fat. On the contrary, estrogen increases your metabolism.
These aren’t a few obscure and irrelevant findings I’m dragging up to support my point. Hundreds of studies have demonstrated the anabolic effects of estrogen. Estrogen is also crucial for your health, but that’s another topic. In short, estrogen’s bad reputation is based on nothing more than the poor intuition that if testosterone is anabolic, estrogen must be catabolic.
Hi LATS,Guys.. I have studied this issue until I'm nauseated and I still don't have a handle on it.. I've been laid up with a knee replacement going over every study inhibitors ECT and I'm no smarter than when I've started..
I've used pharm grade aromasin and arimidex and always had issues adjusting the dosages and getting it right., the lowest dose of arimidex made my joints ache like never before.. And since I have arthritis I eveything thing but my pecker its us even worse., aromasin worked for a bit but like every inhibitor there gets to be a buildup and then estro gets too low for me.. Then I have to make frequency adjustments ect.. So you never really know,, .
On hrt ( 140 mgs) I do not use anything anymore.. I was doing arimidex twice a week at .05 then . 025 .. But even at lower dose joints began to ache.. At first raging morning wood.. Loved that.. Then after a few weeks nothing and libido take a hit.. I'm on no inhibitor now and libido,U.S. still in the shitter but can perform if wife dances to durans durans " wild boys" .. ( don't judge me)..
So that leads me to the nolvadex question.. I don't like the idea of higher levels of estrogen floating around in my system.. But I di like the idea that it blocks estro receptors.. All estro receptors.. I have had many old timers over the years love nolva for its ability to ward off belly fat when take higher gear with conversion.. It's also much better for hdl and lipids in general.. but if one is taking 200 mgs of test.. Or 300 mgs of test nolva may be enought.. But I have to wonder when one goes into the realm of say 500 or 600 mgs or higher E2 is going to go through the roof., I don't care who Ya are.. Then how good is nolva? No bitch titties is good.. Lower ab fat is good.. But erectile dysfunction and other effects of high e2 will start to take hold..
This makes me want to chuck test altogether except for lower dosage ( 300 or under) because of the conversion issue and the ability or inability to handle it.. Sticking to oral turinabol and EQ ect may be the way I go from now on..
I like this video of dr serrono .. I think it's been posted here before .. I can't make out much of what he says..I also wish he would say is he's just referring to HRT dosages or not., kinda vague for me.. But again I miss a lot of what he says.. But he prefers nolva [ame]
And there in lies the issue.. nolva has a very long half life.. so a little bit goes a long way.. people use too much in my opinion.. the accumulative effect can be big.. so yes , tamoxifen has been linked to blood clots.. but much of it is the old adage " the poison is in the dose".. with a long half life like it has I think people are best to go with the lowest effective dose..Hi LATS,
I am interested in what you think about it causing blood clots?
I used nolva most of my cycles but recently stopped because i had read few places that nolva causes blood clots?
Im 44 years old and i figured i should stop using nolva.
What are you thoughts on it? Is it safe in that regard?
Thanks
What would you say LATS, something like 10mg day? I think u can get by on low dose especially if you start using it before, or immediately upon suspecting gyno might be an issue.And there in lies the issue.. nolva has a very long half life.. so a little bit goes a long way.. people use too much in my opinion.. the accumulative effect can be big.. so yes , tamoxifen has been linked to blood clots.. but much of it is the old adage " the poison is in the dose".. with a long half life like it has I think people are best to go with the lowest effective dose..
Yes.. 10mgs a day.. I was even doing it 10mgs mon-fri and taking weekends off.What would you say LATS, something like 10mg day? I think u can get by on low dose especially if you start using it before, or immediately upon suspecting gyno might be an issue.
