Hey, guys.
I'm new to this forum, obviously. I first came across this forum to find out information on CHG (Chronic Human Gonadotrophin), SERMS (Estrogen Blockers), and Estragen Aromatase inhibitors. Actually, I came here not knowing what the hell I was looking for, but after reading a ton of different forum posts I learned exactly what I wanted, what I didn't want, the side-effects of everything, and the long-term risks of the different stuff they have out there. Basically, after reading the forums and following up with all the clinical studies I can get my hands on, I decided I want to modify my endoginous hormone production instead of blasting testosterone. Im not looking for huge gains or anything at this point, just a little edge to help me gain some weight, not lost my hair, and not completely fuck up my normal hormone production.
I know homeostasis always happen, but where homeostasis falls when it is reached can be affected by the combination of different chemicals affecting whatever part of the body/brain im trying to affect. I'm trying to alter the level of testosterone in the testes, pituatary, hypothalamus loop (I forgot the short version word, HPTA axis or something?) without causing endogenous testosterone shutdown. For the purpose of bodybuilding, this seems damn near impossible. The amount of steroids needed for that purpose seems to almost always cause testosterone shutdown. Personally, at this point in my life, I don't need that much of a testosterone. I want the greatest benefit to long term risk ratio, not necessarily the greatest benefits. If I moderatly raise my testosterone, moderatly decrease my dht, and moderatly decrease estrogen conversion while still stimulating certain types of subtypes of E receptors (with serms), it seems, based on all the information from all the studies, that I can possibly prevent short term and long-term-permenant shutdown. The farther away a system gets from homeostasis, especially when the discordance is caused by one chemical change, the more severe the long-term biochemical changes. By substituting dht for a higher level of t I can cancel out some of the homeostatic discordance caused by the increase in T while increasing my anobolic tone:androgenic tone ratio. By decreasing conversion of T to E I can Increase my testosterone while avoiding both the negative side-effects of excessive E and discount E's contributory effect on the negative feedback loop (From what I gathered, high Estrogen levels, like high testosterone levels, contributes to hypothalimus/pituatary shutdown). In a sense, I am substituting some E for T. FInally, I can add some SERMS to both block the estrogen receptors that cause negative side-effect (i.e. those in the breasts) and mildly stimulate the estrogen receptors needed for normal immune, bone, and nervous system function. Leydig cell desensitization is a whole nother issue, but it seems it can be avoided with low doses and spaced out injections (200iuX3 times/week). Worst case scenario, if long-term desensitization occurs, it will be a low-level desensitization (desensitization is not an all or nothing event, its graded) that can be all but fixed by continuing low dose hcg treatment. My regiment is experimental, I have no idea if it will work, but thank God I have insurance and can get bloodwork done to see how this effects my hormone levels. Im not changing my routine for a while, so if my body changes, its not because I am working out more.
The point: I am trying to prove that I'm not posting on this forum because I give a damn about napsgear good reputation.
Why am I posting on this thread: I'm new to this stuff, I dont know where to find it. I came across this thread when looking for a source other than eroids to verify if naps was trust-worthy or not. Eroids was filled with jackasses trying to get free stuff for posting reviews and most other forums had lots of stuff that seemed fake or intended to get free stuff. This forum was by far the most informative (from what I gather, naps is hit or miss) and the funniest to read, but I still have absolutely no idea on whether I should trust naps or not. But, i took the leap and am trying them out. 3 types of hcg, two of nolva, two type of aromadex, two types of aromatase. HCG will be the easiest to test its levels and if its real. I can take the HCG, dilute to the threshold detection level of a pregnancy test, and see if the solution is "pregnant" (most pregnancy tests rely on hcg to detect pregnancy). The aromatase inhibitors will be easy because I can get bloodwork. Nolvadex will be tricky, but I can do it. I wont put how because PETA would shit a brick, but its fairly straightforward.
Thanks MESO for the information and laughs, any information would be appreciated, I look forward to finally figure out if this website is trustworthy!
