Postby Resurrected on Sat Aug 23, 2008 12:35 am

I've been reading up quite a lot about this supp and as ever there are two camps.

has anyone any experience and thoughts on its effectiveness.

ye you will need an AI as it can convert both to estrogen and testosterone.

Are your DHEA levels low?

Go to the doctors and demand a test then, if you babble on ignoring what they say they will test for nearly anything I've found. Talk about low energy, fat gain etc and say a nutrtionalist has told you its all down to low DHEA, high cortisol etc. Basicly only shut up when he says OK :mrgreen:

You must have missed one of my other threads. I did that - was only tested for liver, kidney function etc. But never fear the plan is to return after I get back from my holiday and insist on a test for low test etc.

Make sure you do the following:

1. Have your test done around mid day to get the lowest levels
2. Eat nothing before to lower test levels
3. Feel free to get shit faced all week on beer and in the morning, forget the wine for once.
4. Eat a high fat diet the day before to lower test levels (hell go carb free) :mrgreen:
5. Add plenty of soy in the day before, some peprmint tea when your not drinking beer

follow this and you'll have feck all test :mrgreen:

If you could temporarily lower natty test levels in an undetectable way then you would get TRT for free :D

There obviously a load of detectable ways and not-so-temporary ways to lower your test levels :D

High Fat would raise T levels....?

Make it your mission to have 8 hand shandys before the test that should drop T levels.

Get into a majorly overtrained state the week before the test.

That was one time when I'd had a hard day and a litre of vodka. Just fun - you weren't supposed to fall in love ;)
