Question for experienced Cytadren users

SJR7674 · Jul 6, 2003

I am using Cytadrn for my upcoming contest for the last two weeks. I plan to follow the 2 on 2off patter as recommended.

I have found two discrepancies in reviewing the use of this drug:

1) You need at least 1000 mg to suppress cortisol (which is what I am using it for-not as an anti-e)

2) You need to take the last two days off before a show in order to fill up with water and carbs

This second one doesn't make any sense to me. If you aren't on it for the last 2 days than I would think it defeats the whole purpose. You want to be on so that tere is no cortisol doing damage to your physiue while on stage

Any body know about either question

its a waste of time. i spoke with the #2 bber in the world about cytadren. he said does not do anything and it makes you flat

Really

I heard it can make you flat as well, but how can it be useless your last week of dieting when carb depleting to hold on to muscle. Was he using enough too suppress cortisol?

yes and no!

cotrisol supression is very important the last 2 weeks leading up to a show as your caloric intake is usually at or bellow your B.E.E. and your activity level is at its highest therefore you are taxing and stressing the body to its max capacity therefore increasing cortisol levels in the body. cytadren does infact have a place in this sport and I agree with the 2 on 2 off theory as i have tried all methods and find this most effective. you want to keep your body in a very anabolic state the last 3-4 weeks and supress both estrogen/progesterone as well as cortisol levels as otherwise you will loose a TON of LBM with the carb depleation. therefore my advice is to get on anti-E's ASAP(proviron,arimadex,femarra,noldaldex,ect....) and start the cytadren 2 weeks out 250mg(1/2 tab) in the a.m. and another 1/2 tab 6-8 hours later and then 3 days later go up to 1000mg 500mg in the a.m. and another 500mg in the p.m. I will tell you that MOST if not ALL of the top national level and pro's use cytadren its just figuring out how fast your body reacts to it and at what dosage. As a word of not i would keep the cytedren in the last week until after the carb depleation as it will infact flatten you out. drop it right before the carb up and you'll be fine! wyldeone.
