estrogen

[Ivanko]

It's known that some estrogen in needed for muscle growth. I've also read that too much estrogen will also act in a way that prevents (so to say) muscles for "breaking down" during exercise. That, of course, is a bad thing for bodybuilders since the entire muscle building process is based on 1st breaking it down so it can be rebuilt.

Can anyone explain at what level estrogen would be too high and at what level it would be effective for muscle growth?

Back when I was a kid I had high estrogen (around 80). That isn't a problem anymore but it just got me curious if it could have been a limiting factor back then.

you'd basically want to keep it within physiological range, even when using high doses of aromatizable compounds.
How high you can comfortably get without feeling sides will depend on your current androgen level.
(things like gyno are sometimes caused not only by excess estrogen, but also due to androgen/estrogen ratio being too low)

think a few of us need the read up on that point!

Wouldnt it all be about balance. For example lets say your estro comes out in the mid range naturally and so does your test levels. Then lets say your on 500mg test, wouldnt you want your estro to be high. Not insane but outta range on the high end a bit.
