Are you talking about using other products to stimulate the indogeonous test? Forget the balls, if you take 60 healthy young males give them both 400mg of Deca/week for 8weeks, while they lift and good diet (2g protein per kg) the average person will gain 26lbs. Now the first 20 stop cold, the 2nd 20 cut the deca dose by 50%---->400-200-100-50mg over 4 weeks, extending the total cycle to 12, the last 20 do the same but use HCG 5000iU/week X 3weeks and the last two weeks, use clomid at 100mg/day for 7 days then 50mg for 3 days, this is what you will get the following results:
1) First 20 (Cold Crash) Follow up after 3 months of their usual routines, whatever it may be the average weight gain over the base line is 7.2lbs.
2) Second 20 ( Taper alone) Follow up after 3month , the average weight gain compared to base line is 11.4 lbs
3) Last 20 (Taper + HCG/Clomid) Follow up after 3 months, the average weight gain compared to baseline is 17.6 lbs.
Don't ask me where I got the above information. LOL. A lot of young dumb volunteers.
What this means to me, is that without any post cycle recovery and no tapering the crash is significant.
HERE IS SOMETHING EVEN MORE IMPORTANT:
The first group had a much higher estrogenic side effects than the other two groups. Higher riskof gyno 3/20 and higher body fat contents after three months. The explanation we came up with was that while on deca, because of some estrogen conversion and increase in bf to begin with, when the exogenous test suddenly stopped and none indogenous to begin with since the HPA and testes had shut down completely, that there was 100% UNOPPOSED ESTROGENS FLOATING AROUND. Remember that fat itself produces its own estrogen (estrone) this is why fat women have a much higer chance of breast cancer than thin wormen (higher exposure to estrogen over many years).
The reason I started this thread was because I saw little to none info on tapering and though my exp. and opinion might bring another angle to the subject. Again PH's are not my thing, but since 1-t is not really a PH and is the actual parent compount itself, I thought it would apply. All inputs appreciated. I am here to learn.
