Iron Addict I implore you to stop arguing with this selfabsorbed, irrational twit. He skewers and warps everything someone says when he reads it and comes out with his own version. For example you and I would see this statement
Fred:: "Dogs, unlike cats, will bite people in certain situations"
as for what it is. Bobo on the other hand sees this statement, warps it in his head and will post
Bobo::"Look everyone this Fred guy thinks dogs and cats bite people unprovoked"
(and then Bobo will come out with 4 studies using rhinoceros's, chimpanzees, and duckbilled platypus's to try to prove his point)
There are no studies out there using the protocol of healthy individuals getting off a short cycle using hcg, arimidex, nolvadex and clomid and low dose testosterone and the results of that. Yet Bobo will post a study of castrated men using .05mg of clomid every 4 days and say he proved his point-LOL. Arguing with this guy is useless IA. ......The best thing you can do is let him get back to tossing off to page 157 of his Websters medical dictionairy while you and I actually look at pictures of hot chicks. Remember the golden rules too
a)Bobo must get in the last word
b)If you said tomatoes and meant to say tomatoes he will argue you till your blue in the face saying you were talking about potatoes
c)Bobo cannot think outside the box and thats why he has spent 13 thousand dollars in the last year on Myo-zap and other myostatin blocking supplements using the Cystoseira canariensis algae...because after all it was in lab abstracts and it must be true
Yeah, and Clomid helps you recover while using 400mg of test.
When someone jams a study down your throat and proves you don't have a damn clue what your talking about, you claim Straw Man.....
Typical when all you do is sell myths.
In case you missed it the first time around:
SWALE:
"
Clomid does not cause an increase in LH (and therefore endogenous T production) in an environment of androgenic suppression. IOW, the "Clomid burst" is a myth.
Well, complete suppression is complete suppression. I regularly see this at dosages of just 100mg per week. At whatever weekly dose that happens, beyond that, the LH production is flatlined at <0.1. We do know (experientially), though, that testicular atrophy becomes more and more evident as time goes on, and it seems to me this may have something to do with--in fact, may be the most important part of--recovery. The HP begins to produce LH rather quickly (as serum androgen concentration drops below whatever threshold each man possesses). I believe recovery is moreso a matter of getting the testes to respond to LH stimulation."
This is from someone who does this specific thing for a living.
From Nandi:
"I would think the obvious limitation of using Clomid in this way is that androgens themselves are quite capable of suppressing the HPTA independently of any aromatization. The clomid would help block the effects of estrogen's negative feedback inhibition on the hypothalamus and pituitary, but it will do nothing to prevent androgen feedback suppression of LH production. HCG acts as synthetic LH to directly stimulate the testes, bypassing the problem just described that would arise if you simply attempted to use Clomid."
From me. There is your castrated men, rhinoceros's, chimpanzees, and duckbilled platypus's.

"Hormone levels. Serum total and free testosterone levels (Table 2), measured during week 16, 1 wk after the previous injection, were linearly dependent on the testosterone dose (P = 0.0001). Serum total and free testosterone concentrations decreased from baseline in men receiving the 25- and 50-mg doses and increased at 300- and 600-mg doses. Serum LH levels were suppressed in all groups"

There you go once again DC. Time for you to NOT believe those too becuase it goes against you BS theory.
