Damoski – Progesterone is cleared via the liver so ensure Hepatic Phase 1 and 2 metaboilism is supported. Other than that it is waiting for the compound to clear from its depo and be metabolised from the body.
Matthew – Some people believe taking 10 iu before a fasting IGF-1 test will give an indication of how real GH is. The reason why IGF-1 is chosen is due to the level remaining quite steady over a 24 hour period so any level increase in correspondence to a standard GH dose will be observed.
You would ideally want a baseline IGF-1 value before the test to compare against to.
Testing HGH in serum can be done also but is very dependent on time of administration and the subform of HGH being administered (there are 2)How are growth hormone and insulin-like growth factor-1 reported as markers for drug effectiveness in clinical acromegaly research?

Cameron – Just stick with Cetirizne and begin a week out.
Bradley – They will rise naturally as you progress into off season. I would not take your time slowly reverse dieting; bring kcal up to maintanence and get HPTA supported. Remember a lot of natural athletes end up hypogonadal in the long term from continuous periods of low calorie restriction.
Oliver – Elevated blood pressure or histamine intolerance

Stano – E1 and E3 can be assessed by bloodwork. Also look at your methylation status as to how you are eliminating E2 also.
Cameron – Its a strategy I use myself. 10mg Cetirizine starting at 1 week out to comp day.
Samir – I don’t have any experience with that so I cannot help unfortunately.
Bradley – That’s a very normal case scenario for a natural athlete especially if dieting to low levels of bodyfat and fat calories were low for a significant amount of time. The only fix here is time tbh and ensuring you take fat calories back up to help hormonal synthesis. I’m not one to recommend test boosters but RedCon Boomstick combined with Shilajit (Primavie extract) may be worth trying but not a guarantee.

Sean – Very difficult to say but in the case of IBS-D, increased fibre may help SLOW transit time. As Hilly said, its a matter of an elimination diet with notes and gradually adding supplements. Diarrhea is casued by 2 things mainly; an electrolyte imbalance where fluid is not being retained in the bwoel or an irritation of the microbiome causing rapid expulsion.
Stano – one of the drivers of Prolactin is estrogen.
E2 is only one form, there are 2 others.
Also I would look carefully at diet.
If kidneys have been verified as filtering without issue, and there is permanent water retention/bloat then I would be looking to assess gut motility and microbiome imbalance.www.trainedbyjpclothing.com - The most anabolic clothing ever! |

Rotties – No need, just stick with standard dosing
Damoski – Progesterone range for males is 0.5 so yours is out. Its more than likely being caused by the progestin activity of the NPP having built over the last 3 weeks of the cycle. Using a SERM to occupt E2 recpetors until the progestin clears should help.
Stano – potentially. But you need to consider the affinity of it for the AR versus the other compounds being used….

Keith – doesn’t appear to be an issue.
Jeffy – hsCRP is a protein made in the liver in response to inflammatory cytokines. It is a marker that there is some kind of inflammatory response occuring in the body. Asthma may elevate it but anything over 5 indicates a serious cause for concern over inflammation. For example flu may raise it into the teens but should return to baseline once the infection has cleared.
ctr – not that I can comment on. If taking an SSRI be advise that AAS will exacerbate serotonin transport (watch my talk on the site). AAS have the potential to further deplete serotonin also which must be thoroughly considered.
DC –
1. Yes – cardiomyopathy is a side effect.
2. I cannot answer exactly as depends how many times that person competes.
Again the side effects come with dosage response but time can also play a factor.Tyler – potentially as low blood pressure could mean brain isn’t receiving enough oxygen which could lead to neuron cell death. I cannot advise any supplements here but there are some if you google. Making sure ingesting adequate electrolytes would be the first point of call.
Rotties – weekly dosage administration the day of travelling and be prepared for potential large peak concentration the day after. Even if its 2 weeks it should see you through. A sharp level drop off would take 3 weeks for example with enanthate. Then resume as normal upon return.

Alex – well you’re going to have to go and have a read and think of what might be causing insulin resistance.

Yes the injury could be elevating CRP but again this is not ideal to have it that elevated long term as towards into effects on foam cell activatio nand arterial plaque deposition.
I would consult to ensure it is healing as normal and look to potentially increase BCM-95 dosage as well as incorporating Boswella.
Serrapeptase is more so useful when it comes to preventing thrombotic effects.
If the injury is causing the inflammation, and you are not on any prescribed medication then it may be wise to again consult as you mayneed to manage that inflammation more closely.
I would continue to run supplementation and retest lipid panel in 6 weeks once everything has normalised post NPP and Anavar use.

Keith – this is a very difficult one to answer ethically.
We need to consider the function of cholesterol and lipoproteins in the body, then ultimately decide why we wouldnt want excess lipoproteins in our blood.
We also have to then consider the role of High Density and Low Density Lipoproteins both of nwhich have further subfractions with different functions.
One could argue a ratio of HDL to LDL would be an ideal way to track but you could artificially skew that ratio if you were to lower HMG-CoA reductase and stop the formation of the LDL. But we need a certain level of LDL production within the brain so it wouldn’t be wise to block this production.
Same way looking at Total Cholesterol – unless you know the exact % of each remnant such as Very Low Density (VLDL) and Non-HDL Cholesterol its again a flawed way to look at the picture.
We then need to consider the role of inflammation and how it ties into arterial health and Small Dense LDL and Foam cell activation – yet AAS and elevated androgrens will influence this further – Remember white blood cells have androgen receptors too (hence why you can have Test flu; and the androgen receptor activation also transforms normal macrophages into foam cells which basically become PacMen for your LDL particles and lead to aggregation and plaque formation. Therefore we need to consider hs-CRP and how the liver is handling inflammation within the body.
We then also need to take into consideration the process of dietary fat within the liver and how Triglycerides are managed.
As you can see, its not just as easy as giving an explanation of the “ideal” numbers but rather the over all case picture of your arterial health itself.

Mike – test DHT and stop guessing. Sounds like its being driven by 5alpha reductase activity in your scalp.
