You do actually.
Nandrolone, for example, aromatizes into estrone a lot more than it does to estradiol.
You need to preserve the physiological functions associated with e2.
It is reduced to 5α-dihydro-19-nortestosterone, which doesn’t have the same affinity for the androgen receptor as DHT, at all.
So yes, keeping a minimal amount of T is indeed necessary.
Feeling good doesn’t equate to being healthy.
There are hundreds of normal functions that are not taking place in the body while you are not using that testosterone.
Hence why I would always run a DHT derivative and something like Dbol alongside Nandrolone without test.
Using exogenous testosterone also shuts off LH/FSH alongside many other natural processes, which also have many other functions in the body. So how about all the natural functions in the body that are not taking place while you ARE using exogenous testosterone?
Please do explain what these “hundreds” of testosterone related functions are which cannot be performed by its derivatives either equally as well if not better? And why its unhealthy for a short period to replace test with something more anabolic before switching back to a low TRT dose, as opposed to just blasting testosterone.

So you are going to run a DHT and another aromatazible compound to try and mimick the metabolites of testosterone that could actually be obtained by just running testosterone?
I fail to see the logic and the elegance in this.
Nobody talked about « blasting » testosterone, just keeping a healthy replacement dose all along.
No. In theory, the DHT produced from a replacement dose of testosterone is not enough to negate the effects of DHN occupying the AR sites, leading to the erection sides experienced on nandrolone.

Not the experience of everyone running a testosterone replacement dose along nandrolone.
Most of the deca dicks experiences are from nandrolone solo.
If I may suggest, Mesorx forum is a wealth of knowledge, you will get tone of info over there that will help you understand those compounds better.
No, there are a few unfortunate users who use Deca solo, but the majority of Deca dick (including myself) is experienced on cycles of high test with Deca.
As I said, the DHN displacement theory is just that, a theory. I think until more people start trying out Nandrolone with a DHT derivative and low test, we wont know for sure. Having said that, I’ve done a short 2.5 week run in the past with NPP and masteron with 50mg test per week and my libido shot up and had no ED. However, I realise that length is not sufficient, a 4 or 5 week cycle would have been better to assess.
