Want Your Opinion - Am I On or OFF

[xcelbeyond]

To all those that responded - thank you.

I should have clarified my questions better. I know that from a "technical" standpoint (black & white answer) that I'm still taking a steroid.

As priest948 outlined (very well), the amount I'm taking is very minimal. It's put into the system when natural test levels are elevated and clears the system rather quickly.

As far as HPTA goes, I don't "feel" or have any symptoms of HPTA shut down - so why would I test for HPTA functions? When you test and find your HPTA or part of it is shut down, what do you do? If I had symptoms of disfunctional HPTA, I'd get it tested.

Germ - not trying to sound like an ass, you make it sound like everyone should have their HPTA tested after they're done with a cycle. Only point I can see in testing is that it can tell if and what part of your HPTA is no functioning.

So - when a recovered alcoholic is able to to have a glass of wine occaisionally (without a subsequent binge), he isn't a drunk but he is still drinking.

really what i mean if someone is bridging they should get tested to see if their hpta is recovering the way they think it should be...

you know as well as i do that one day you can think everything is hunky dory and the next day you die of a stroke or something...

how you feel is not necessarily a good indication of whats really going on in every case..

and for 45bucks for the bloodwork why not..

To get your HPTA checked through blood work for proper function-you would probably need several tests to see that its progressevly recovering over time. Just showing a low test level from one blood test would probably be expected coming off any cycle.
I really think you could skip all that and just look for the signs of recovery I mentioned plus any others you mention.
And I dont thing an improperly functioning HPTA has quite the impact of a stroke.

Your ON Your On Your On

Bridging is ON! Come on man, your hair splitting. Sounds like the "is" "is" crowd, which I know your not a part of. So what if your on. If you have to change the name to make your self feel good, maybe you should not be doing it. Your 50 yrs old, look better than most 20 yr olds. so what if your on. What gets me is that people say that I'm off, as the pop a tab or in some cases tab(s).

Does 10mg dbol a day affect estrogen levels at all? Can it aromatize? Do you have to run Arimidex with it?

Exactly why I say if you are going to bridge and hope for HPTA recovery, use a non-aromatizing oral like winny, halo, oral primo or masterone, anavar. Stimulating estrogen receptors in hpta will greatly cause inhibition.
