LOL Guys, I see I'm going to have to explain some things about
RU-486.
And btw, Im the oe that did the 2-week 1000mgs/week
Deca cycle w/RU-486.
Firstly, what I meant in my post at AF(everybody ay AF
thought it was clear enough) was that the effctiveness
of the RU-486 at 200mg EOD was as effective in
blocking progesterone as Arimidex was in curtailing
estrogen. I was using an effectiveness comparison
NOT discussing their modes of action.
The problems associated with a 200mg dose EOD(or
1mg/lb EOD) is that cortisol gets suppressed
TOO MUCH.
What happens: Low cortisol levels inhibit protein
degradation BUT also INCREASE recovery time
of pulls/strains etc...
SO, what happenned(I'm assumming you all train relatively
heavy) was that my muscle got very sore, I got some
twitches and some cramps. Nothing major, but
nevertheless noteworthy.
After getting my Med school friend to test cortisol levels
we found that they were a tad too low at the dosage
of RU-486 I specified above.
We therefore had two options:
1. Keep the dosage the same but ADD cortisone shots.
2. Lower the dosage, and let some of the progestins
latch on to their respective receptors.
(This isn't altogether so bad because progesterone
is LIPOLYTIC)
Obviously choice #1 is out of the question unless you want
arthritis by the time you're 30, so I went wth option
#2.
We therefore lowered the dosage to 200mg E3D(1mg/lb
E3D) and kept on going.
Well, after that things went GREAT. No cramps ,twitches
pulls etc...
So, the benefits of RU-486 at 1mg/lb E3D:
1. Block progesterone to the same dregree as
Novaldex blocks estrogen.
As a bonus, the progestins that aren't blocked
are lipolytic to boot. Estrogen on the other hand
IS NOT LIPOLYTIC.
2. Blocks endogeneous cortisone to the safest
lowest point. Due to this, protein degradation
is curbed by a fair amount. This alone can yield
10-15% better gains. Also, the specified
dosage does not cause any muscular problems.
3. As far as Deca-dick is concerned, the reason some
people get it is due to the progesterone which
shuts down the HPTA quite severely.
Now, we've PARTIALLY blocked the progesterone
from its receptors w/ the RU, so MOST people will NOT
get Deca-dick.
BUT, highly subsceptble individuals w/ a great
sensitivity to progesterone will experience Deca
dick no matter what.
But as a whole, the majority of the people using
the RU w/ Deca who had Deca-dick in the past will
not get it.
Godspeed
