Thanks - anyone who doesn't use test as the foundation for a cycle is asking for trouble. Isn't that one of the few ironclad rules about steroid use?
Well, sort of. I feel that the vast majority of individuals should have at least TRT in a sensible stack design, unless they really know what they are doing.
And even if they do, there are potential consequences to not using testosterone (think about the pathways it uses and what could happen if they are suppressed for long periods of time).
But I don't necessarily think it has to be the foundation (or what I call an "anchor" compound). Some stack designs work well when testosterone is left in as TRT and you let the others do the heavy lifting.
Would you say that, especially on tren, that it's a good idea to just manage against estrogen sides as you "feel" them, rather than try to push E2 down to a lower level? I only take AIs as I feel E2 sides coming, that has worked for me so far - and with what you're saying it sounds like it's actually synergistic with tren to let your E2 go higher than normal?
Yes, I have what I suppose is seen by some as a semi-controversial philosophy, in that I feel one should abstain from AIs whenever possible. This is even more true when no signs of high estrogen appear and folks are using AIs to proactively lower estrogen levels. In fact, none of my enhanced males are on currently on AIs and I've used them less than a handful of times in my own experience.
I hear a lot that some individuals are just more estrogenic, and I never dispute this. But I've had success with even some of the loudest "complainers" who come to me. And, just about everyone I've worked with have eventually come off AIs entirely. So yeah, I think that makes my position pretty clear on that
