Often guys using testosterone will also use an estrogen blocker/ aromatase inhibitor to stem the conversion of testosterone into estrogen and prevent the estrogenic side effects, water retention, gyno etc......
This got me thinking....
Is it possible that a small % of natural guys have much higher than normal test levels, but a large amount of their testosterone is being converted into estrogen and therefor it would be beneficial to use arimidex, letro etc to combat this conversion and maximise the potential benefits of higher than normal testosterone levels?
Or am I just full of "broscience"

just what i know from school combined with some theory........you body is always trying to reach homeostasis, and minimize energy output
so if it was in fact producing enough testosterone that it was being converted into estrogen.........your body would probably just down-regulate testosterone production in order to reach hormonal equilibrium

Savage broscience. There's not just one interaction going on. Tons of interdependent endocrine relationships exist. It's wiser to respect their balance unless there's an actual problem that needs fixing.

Eat more button mushrooms.
I think Gaspari's Novadex is an AI, but again, taking it isn't really a health oriented decision.
