Gossip & Opinions / Re: Hormones and intense excercise builds muscle
« Last post by dj181 on Today at 06:37:11 AM »Like joswift said they are taking it for health. And basically only when they are experimenting with a nonestrogenic anabolic like Primo ran solo. Some just run a baseline 200mg of test mostly for estrogen when they do this, but now, for some reason, some forego any test at all and instead do actual supplemental estrogen to compensate. Maybe an interesting thing to try just to see what happens.
Though estrogen has muscle anabolic effects in itself. In fact even in Duchaine's time they experimented with an estrogenic product called Zeranol (Ralgro)(banned in sport). https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Zeranol
People also think estrogens are uniquely associated with water retention, forgetting all anabolic/androgenic steroids can cause water retention even if there is no estrogenic component. If I'm not mistaken estrogens affect fat distribution more, interestingly if menopausal women are given estrogen they lose bodyfat, especially belly fat.
You need some estrogen for proper GH and IGF-1 function and many other growth associated pathways.
doc todd lee keeps his estro at 80 for ideal gh function he says
mast, primo and eq can all lower estro moreso for some than others it all depends upon your own indiviual body chem
big paul showed his look onstage with a video clip in that vid and i was shocked how he looked
he just looked ok nothing too great and he takes tons of shit and measures out his food intake down to the last microgram
