Just one thing to note here. I have seen several people run Pulsing cycles and say, "I don't feel shutdown", but those that have gotten bloodwork actually were. So the only positive way to tell if you are shutdown is to have blood work done. "feeling" shutdown and "being" shutdown are two totally different things.
You say a "smart" pulsing cycle as if this is the end all, be all of 17aa methyls. I lol'd. Get blood work done and post it up here so we can see if you are or are not shutdown ... I bet you are.
That's a pretty brazen supposition on your part, and I hope you're wrong. In my own defense, I actually
did get my testosterone level checked about 9 months ago, as my libido was in the tank, and I was experiencing some erectile dysfunction. (This was before I'd ever taken anything "hormonal.") My test measured in at 200-something -- definitely on the low end. But the doc wasn't overly concerned. He said it wasn't
that low for my age (now 46), and he attributed it to the serious stress I was under at work, and in my relationship.
Fast-forward to today...
I ended all the stress in my relationship, by ending the relationship, lol. But my stress level at work is even higher than it was 9 months ago. (I need a new job.) And I'm now winding down my Superdrol pulse, and I'm having a hard time believing that I might be shut down. My nuts haven't shrunk at all, I'm having no ED issues whatsoever, and I'm
way hornier than I was 9 months ago. If I
am shut down, I highly recommend it, lol. (I suppose I may also be suffering from undiagnosed Gigantism, as I also display none of
those symptoms.)
And if you're gonna lol at my silly attempt at "smart" cycling, at least allow me to re-explain my cycle, in case you didn't quite catch the subtle nuances of my particular protocol.
I flat-out don't believe in the standard every-other-day pulse cycles. I don't think the one day off between doses is enough to prevent shutdown -- I think it will still gradually occur. (In fact, as I have stated several times, I believe pulsing 20mg every other day will shut you down just as much as dosing 10mg every day in a straight cycle.) So my solution is to dose (and lift) on 3
consecutive days, followed by 4 consecutive days "off." My whole theory is that the 4 consecutive off days
is sufficient time for recovery. In fact, I think the HPTA "bounceback" I'm getting on my off days is what's responsible for my greatly improved libido.
As I said earlier, I
will use my 6oxoExtreme to ensure that my HPTA is up and running. But I honestly think it may not be necessary.
And this whole thing started with my desire that PCS include some type of AI -- in which case I probably
would choose it over Ergo's product. I've always been a fan of your company, and I've used most of your products.
