I think both of you are correct. While higher body fat does mean generally higher estrogen it depends on how your body responds to said higher estrogen levels. Needless to say, higher body fat is not ideal when cycling
I really don't think it matters too much, but then again I don't have the bodybuilder mentality that 90% of you on this board have.

I don't know if it's so cut dry. I'm thinking there is more to it than that. It can't be as simple as the higher bodyfat you have the higher estrogen you produce. If that was true everyone with a higher bodyfat percentage would be getting gyno on every cycle. And what's the cut off point?. 15%?, 20%?. 25%?. I'm sure in some cases it might be true, but when dealing with hormones I believe it's more complicated how people react and not just black and white. I mean their could be a skinny guy that's always extremely susceptible to gyno on cycle and a larger man than just never has a problem.

Not trying to argue with you, just saying that I think their is more to it than simple bodyfat percentages.
Well your logic is both excellent and slightly flawed or should I say the scope is too limited. It is definitely cut and dry that increased body fat increases estrogen levels. However we are only looking at one piece of the estrogen puzzle. That increased body fat increases estrogen levels. This is a medical and scientific fact. Some people will NEVER get gyno. No matter what unless they started taking straight estrogen. Some people aromatize in different ratios & create more DHT, some people create more estrogen. High DHT will keep estro from binding to the ER in breast tissue because it has a much higher affinity and binds first.

So it has more to do with how a person responds to elevated levels of estrogen. However the estrogen levels are increased when body fat is increased this is just a physiological fact. Estrogen can definitely increase water retention without having any effect on breast tissue. Gyno comes from having estrogen sensitive breast tissue, lower levels of DHT, or other things that can effect sensitivity. The level of that sensitivity varies from individual to individual. However the absence of gyno does not mean the absence of elevated estrogen levels.

Thanks for the explanation. What you explained is what I was trying to say. I'm just not able to express what I mean across the internet as well as some people do.

I said one of those options, but yes on cycle. In all honesty 10mg of nolva a day would be better for gains and stopping gyno than an AI crushing estro that can kill some of your gains.
What if one wants to take advantage of the benefits of estrogen on a strength/bulk cycle? Eh?eh?

Gyno is a result of multiple hormonal imbalances going on was my understanding, and estrogen is just one component

I think yuo can second me on this but the benefit of Nolva on cycle is that it has an extremely high affinity for the breast tissue specifically, and lower affinity to other AR receptors. Nolva doesn't get rid of estro it just blocks it and more predominately in the mammary gland. Isn't that correct. It has been a long while but I do believe it is specially engineered to target breast tissue to stop breast cancer growth.

Yep, nolva for on cycle gyno protection and clomid for pct. Try to keep estrogen as high as possible On cycle and try to get estrogen as low as possible during pct.

I think the majority of people miss out by running anti-e on cycle at too high a dosage...
I've made that mistake before, it is definitely a common mistake. I think it's the fact that most people are taught that estrogen is bad and that it needs to be crushed. Gyno scares guys into over using ai's as well. Was looking at a thread earlier where a guy wanted to use exemestane at 12.5mg eod with 15mg of osta from the jump! Just another big piece of misinformation

Yeti was awesome honestly put on 12 solid lbs but put on 10 lbs of fat over it . The feeling is there with that one. Im on a pct now after 8 months doing 8 weeks total . 4 clomid 4 nolva . Then taking 4 weeks off on top of that. 12 weeks total. Got blood work back i was surprised to see my total test and my e were great. End of 12 weeks ill b getting more blood work . Then maybe just maybe spring time ill run test and tren ace both im . Going for 6 mnths to a year off orals . Yeti was all too easy. And most impressive. I'd only recommend it to the guys with a ton of experience. Only sides i had was aggression acne and a small loss of coping skills at work. Volvo140G it was definitely something i would do again just with a test base maybe test e started 2 to 3 weeks prior to the Yeti.

You going on a cut while during pct and whatever off time right? That's a lot of fat on top of muscle gains haha

Yes ill be on a solid cut until my bf% is around 15. Then i want to run a 12 week test cycle no orals for awhile. Lots of seafood and dark greens every day. This time ill eat clean no quarter pounders.no Chinese food. Id like to mix physique and bb for a skinnier leaner look.

No just use the other half the next day or even just take one 50 EOD it isn't going to matter with the long half life.

One can only assume someone was using research capsules or something. A clomid tab is just pressed powder. No time release or anything fancy to change how it should be ingested.

With the long half life it really becomes a moot point by the second dose. We are no longer working on the bodies natural rhythms when using a SERM to increase test production LH stays elevated from the SERM.

It's... beautiful! :hump:

Do you have a SERM for PCT too? Seems called for, especially with Tr1umph. And are you running the Ar1macare at half dose, or do you have another bottle?

I have another bottle for 8 week total. I also have Rebirth (natural SERM), viron and letrone. But I dont need Letrone as Super pct already has two AIs and this cycle is very low aromatizing. Probably wont use viron either as again Super PCT already has free test boosting ingredients.

Don't short change yourself on off time! Time on + pct = time off. Give your receptors and your hpta a break for a while

what would be an adequate amount of time off?
He gave you the generally accepted rule of thumb. If your cycle was 4 weeks and PCT was 4 weeks, you should take 8 weeks off of hormonals after your PCT concludes.

Rebirth seems to be a solid product from what I have been reading, do we not have faith in this? If you guys honestly dont think thats gonna work post your concerns. Mr. Kleen posted some very informative stuff in this thread which i took into account. I didnt think this cycle was crazy harsh seeing as it does not aromatize too much so not much e would be lingering around to need pharma/rc SERM.
