You do take anabolics, technically. Just at a therapeutic dose.

Wow, wow is all I can say. Been injecting test for 11 yrs at the exact same rate 0.2ml of 200mg/ml 3 days a week. Just recently did I start cycling the amount and I can definitely feel a difference. Iâve also seen guys who went way to high of E to the point they had to stop test injections and start a E2 blocker.
Not everyone is the same.

I alternate from 185mg to 200mg every 2 weeks and it definitely has a mild positive effect on wellbeing and sex drive. Definitely wouldnât recommend it until you find your optimal dose and stay on it for a while. Been doing this for 2 months now.

Personal experience when test is either rising or falling it increases libido for me.

@THORBAKER you have a PhD in bro science. Every post of yours has literally made me laugh out loud. Youâre so far off from what the literature demonstrates that I donât believe you could me more wrong if someone paid you.
Who made you the authority on how my body works. You are so full of yourself your judgment is skewed. Disparaging people on this forum shows who you are and has nothing to do with helping people, you feel as if you have all the knowledge of this subject at hand and I can tell you you dont. You need to broaden your horizons of knowledge that includes more than yourself

In conclusion, in male patients with prolactinoma, hyperprolactinemia and concomitant testosterone deficiency are associated with MetS in approximately 50% of cases. Visceral obesity appears to be mainly influenced by testosterone deficiency, and weight loss seems to reflect a direct beneficial effect of both CAB treatment and adequate androgen replacement. Thus, simultaneous correction of both PRL excess and testosterone deficiency is mandatory in order to improve insulin resistance and metabolic abnormalities in such patients. CAB might act as direct modulator of adipose tissue dysfunction and insulin secretion, whereas androgen replacement might directly influence peripheral insulin sensitivity regulation. Further studies are still needed to confirm and extend these data, to better elucidate the burden and the differential role of PRL, dopamine agonists, testosterone and androgen replacement in the modulation of metabolism in patients with prolactinomas.
FYI dim doesnât block estrogen.
It helps metabolise it. Big difference.
@roscoe88, ive done a pretty fair amount of research on DIM and I havent found anything that shows what DIM actually does. Ive read the superficial statements saying it helps with âmetabolismâ but I dont think thats the mechanism of action. That would insinuate that it affects your liver. I know DIM totally crashes my E2. I took a 1/4 of the dose and felt much better but eventually did start to notice signs of low e.
Iâve always known it to help
Clear estrogen. Not so much prevent aromatisation.
Weâre all guinea pigs. .

Ok so from my understanding certain people believe that blocking E2 is bad for the body and unnatural. And then there are others that believe that you should block E2 but only if you have symptoms of high E2.
So I have a question for the people that donât believe in blocking E2. Are you guys saying that high E2 wonât cause errection problems? and If it does cause errection problems how do you solve it other then bringing down the E2?

Why would âblocking E2â be bad for you? That theory makes no sense and whoever told you that has misinformed you, so your understanding is way off base.
Anastrozole does not stop all aromatization. It is the weakest of the 3 main aromatase inhibitors, and does not have the ability to penetrate dense lipid cells where a lot of aromatization takes place.
So you are not âblocking E2â, that is what a SERM does. Selective Estrogen Receptor Modulators block E2 from attaching to the receptor.
Anastrozole is a aromatase inhibitor that inhibits aromatase, thereby lowering your E2 levels. So if you lower your E2 too much yes you will wreck your cholesterol and have glucose management issues.
But there is no such thing as âblocking E2â being bad for you, that is one of the most ridiculous theories I have heard in a long time.
Background
Over the past 15 years it has become evident that in men estradiol is responsible for a number of effects originally attributed to testosterone. Estradiol has an important role in gaining and maintaining bone mass, closing of the epiphyses and the feedback on gonadotropin secretion. This fact became particularly evident in men with aromatase deficiency. Aromatase is the enzyme responsible for conversion of androgens to estrogens. Men with estrogen deficiency caused by a mutation in the CYP19 gene suffer from low bone mineral density (BMD) and unfused epiphyses, and have high gonadotropin and testosterone levels [[1]. Estrogen excess in turn has been associated with premature closure of the epiphyses, gynecomastia and low gonadotropin and testosterone levels. Lowering estrogen levels in men has emerged, consequently, as a potential treatment for a number of disorders including pubertas praecox, the andropause (also referred to as late-onset hypogonadism) and gynecomastia. Aromatase inhibitors were proven to be safe, convenient and effective for the treatment of hormone sensitive breast cancer in women although their use is associated with a modest increase in bone resorption [[2,[3]. This review will discuss the potential targets and the evidence for the use of aromatase inhibitors in men and adds more recent data to the text of an earlier review on this subject
Aromatase inhibitors in men: effects and therapeutic options
You have had a clinic for ten years and this is your opinion of AI and E2? What is the name of your clinic? Please share with the class?
You are causing harm to your patients. What you are doing is borderline criminal.
Please share with the class a single study that demonstrates E2 causing harm. There are none! There are only benefits! So why the hell would you want to reduce or block something that causes no harm and only had benefits? How stupid can you be?? And you do this for a living?? You should be ashamed of yourself.
Clearly you donât read so perhaps a video would make things easier on you.
Dr Neal Rouzier has trained thousands of physicians around the globe. He is undeniably the world leader in the field of hormone optimization. Google World Link Medical. Get your head out of your ass and get caught up with what is actually going on in the world.
Please share the name of your clinic and the names of the doctors that participate in it.
Here is the video by Dr Rouzier which completely debunks everything you have posted on this site along with the studies to back it up.
More rhetoric @dbossa , you keep shouting how these things are supposedly bad for you but you donât even understand how they work, pathetic. If there was a thumbs down, I would be using it on your fact-less post
You can find my clinic by searching my name.

I absolutely know how these things work which is why Iâm calling you out on your bullshit. Do you have the slightest idea what even the tiniest dose of arimidex does to the endothelial walls? Explain that one to me please to demonstrate you understand it. Do you realize that HCG is not actual LH and only the subunits are similar? Explain that one also. You do this for a living and appear to have no actual science being used as the literature is clear, cut and dry on this.
Yes, I will be looking il the name of the clinic and the docs that work there. You see, you have no clue what I do in my spare time 
I wonder if there is a drug for antisocial behavior bordering on narcissistic/egotistical behavior. Your posts are not helpful, forums are here to be helpful, you and your rhetoric have no business being here.

@THORBAKER call me a crusader against broscience. This place is chock full of it. Ever ask yourself why there are so many men on here with so many issues? It is because they are all getting bad advice and continue to get bad advice. The people who claim to know what they are doing donât know a damn thing about the subject whatsoever. Everybody is out to make a buck off of everybody else. Iâm sick to death of seeing all of these men feel like crap and guys like you continue to give them bad advice. You have absolutely no business being here with your juvenile and ignorant level of knowledge on this topic.

E2 does not cause erection problems. Forget what these morons are telling you. Unoptimized levels of free T cause erection issues. Itâs not âE2 issuesâ causing the problem, itâs âtestosterone deficiency issuesâ that are causing the problem. E2 is what is responsible for libido and erections. Try blocking E2 and watch what happens to your libido and erections. They vanish. Ever ask yourself that question? The aromatise inhibitor is nearly the equivalent of taking rat poison as it destroys your cardiovascular function over time. Then try getting an erection at that point. Good luck!
Just try this: Get your free T levels over 30 ng/dL. Do not do anything to block E2. When youâll be begging your significant other fox sex three times a day, with an E2 over 50, youâll quickly realize that the combination of higher levels of free T and allowing the body to adjust E2 accordingly, on its own, is the KEY to having a healthy libido, erection quality, and overall health.
The guys here are NOT evidence based. If they were, they would be providing studies that demonstrate E2 causing harm, when there are NONE!! How do I know this? I deal with researchers every day! People that do only this for a living! And they all tell me the exact same thing! And all the doctors are telling me the same thing! And the patients of the doctors that reach out to me are telling me the same thing! So if you want to listen to this freaking idiot, just because he has a clinic, then be my guest. Just because youâve been doing something for a long time doesnât demonstrate youâre any good at it or know what youâre doing!
@dbossa Ask you a question? I have proposed multiple questions in various threads and you havenât addressed a single one of them, you just keep repeating the same thing over and over again âanastrozole badâ
It is clear to me, as someone who has been injecting myself for 10 years, and coaching thousands of clients for 10 years, that you have no clue what you are talking about.
You can sit here and call me an idiot if you want behind the protection of your computer screen, but I can promise you wouldnât do that to my face.
So you ask me to ask you a question about aroma, how about this: Please explain to me, in your own words, how aromatase inhibition by itself is bad for the male body, I will wait.
@zsub154 There is no answer to your question, the only thing that reduces E2 is aromatase inhibitors such as anastrozole, exemestane and letrozole. Thats it.
If you want to listen to this newb and let your E2 run wild so you can get breast and prostate cancer, along with high blood pressure, by all means go for it.
