In Reply to: 3 Questions for Dr. L posted by RZ on February 03, 1997 at 12:54:14:
: Dr. L
: In your prior posts you mentioned the term 'testicular insufficient'.
: By that , do you mean low free
: testosterone and/or low total testosterone (~300-400ng/dl)?
=Low total testosterone <600 for a <30
If you have normal total testo but low free it's another problem
generally it appears for obese male
Low-mild total testo and high free testo is seen in obese female
: Why not make use of Testolactone(Teslac) instead of proviron? Cost?
Teslac is not a AS ,it prevents the conversion of testo in female hormone
Provirion is an androgen which doesn't aromatize in female hormone
It's slighty different, you can use proviron alone but you need to use teslac with a testosterone-like
otherwise it's useless
: Would adding Deca (~200 - 400 mg/week for 6-8wks)
: to the Proviron/Oxandrolone stack defeat the purpose?
you can not help you to stack up AS ! The more you stack the more
you are likely to get acute side effects. Stop to always think in term of cycle
i have already explained than longer, fewer is better and safer
50-150mg/ week of deca is sufficient, you can use Proviron/Oxandrolone
or proviron/deca which is more potent but less safe.
: Would this make hypogonadism worse?
of course
: terms of nitrogen retention
with deca it would be improved BUT side effects too
and finally you might be compelled to stop this "cycle with deca" earlier than "without deca"
Do you want to improve slightly your nitrogen retention during 2 months or 4?
recovery aid and possibly helping with joint pains associated with lifting.
I can't say, i'm not enough skilled in BB, generally joint pain get worse with/after AS
