I have come off all. Me n my partner want a child. So I see no reason why I would risk any chance of that staying on.

Is it doable while staying on low dose yes. Will low dose likely negative sperm at some level yes

@hilly, so even not a normal TRT dose then?

even when you have estrogen and prolactin under control?!

NPP will still give me Gyno even with Estrogen, Prolactin and Progesterone in range. No idea how!

Does the same with me, it does my head in. I use nolva throughout while on npp[/quote]

Think I might be in the same scenario then lol… also on NPP now atm. First NPP cycle. How much Nolvadex do you guys take each day?

@Hilly, do you think 10mg Nolva/ day is enough to fight this problem? or would a full 20mg tab be needed?

Cheers guys:)

If it’s literally the amount you’ve mentioned then don’t stress about it. One could even argue that the psychological benefit of enjoying time with friends will outweigh the cons of a couple of drinks! Don’t stress about it as that often makes things worse and sends people down the recreational drug path instead.

Like said above, weigh up your goals and make a decision based on those.

Wise words, thanks man. yes, it’s literally only that much. don’t need a lot to enjoy myself with it:)

Thanks you all for answering:) the answers above where a bit what I expected though… You guys – the educators on this forum – all compete, so I know it’s not the most ideal place to talk about alcohol right.

Me personally, despite my relatively “young” age, I’m very serious with both my training and nutrition, however, I don’t have ambition to get my physique judged on a competition.

I understand that drinking sugary alcohol drinks loaded with junk is a whole other story, but I was just wondering how drinking once a week (2-3 glasses max) “impacts” your body? I was also wondering if my way of think of “MODERATE alcohol consumption is something you can better get away with when on a (mild) cycle thanks to very high protein synthesis” is a correct way of thinking?

The last question I have is about nutrition post 2-3 drinks. Would it be beneficial to make sure I still have some protein left to eat at midnight then? Or go straight to bed after downing some water?

No ‘Generic’ choice really, just whatever suits you best in terms of digestion and energy for your workout. Typically high carb/pro and a little fat to enable a steady release of energy. At the moment I have Ground Oats, Whey and Raspberries, but also like Baby Rice, Whey, Berries and Coconut oil.

Same here. How much ground oats and whey do you have? And how long before you workout?

[Gain]

Yes of course, less drugs is always better. But me and @Brendan – who has made this post – are just trying to understand the compound and HOW it could be catabolic. So if I understand it right, T3 doesn’t directly “attack” your muscles – even at high doses – but it’s because of the large shortage of available energy the body eats itself a way when doses incorrectly.

Right?

[Gain]

Depends on dose and timing. If your dieting hard natural t3 will drop so you keep it at a baseline of 25mg by supplementing with 25mg. Some need more to bring their baseline up. If your smashing 50, 75 100mg then yes Definitely can be catabolic.

Ryan or @DrDeanStMart, Quick question and maybe interesing for @Brendan too… I understand higher dosages of T3 are catabolic. However, is this level of catabolism due to being in such large deficit than? Of course this wouldn’t make much sense but: or could catabolic effects of the the high dosage of T3 be reversed by simply upping your calories accordingly (so there’s still enough energy available)?

Trying to understand the compound more… thanks
