androgenic steroids don't increase estrogen?

[Lopez]

hey, all. about a few days ago, i've decided to start using steroids, and have decided on using an androgen with few anabolic effects because i'm heading for the lean/cut look, not the dennis wolfe look. the only thing that bothers me about steroids is that i've heard that they stunt growth and cause premature baldness.

reading up on the subject, i read that androgenics that lack anabolic qualities (such as fluoxymesterone) don't stunt growth, because they don't raise estrogen. is this true?

You shouldn't use steroids if you are still growing.

Masterbating has show to increase testosterone which increases muscle growth. Masterbate as much as possible for a anabolic reaction

I think you have the terms mixed up. Compounds that highly androgenic will increase your masculinity (i.e. facial and body hair), while compounds that are more anabolic than androgenic, will provide more muscle growth, and have less of an effect on male characteristics.

Any use of exogenous testosterone will cause an increase in estrogen. Your body desires to be in homeostasis, and so when you increase your levels of testosterone, your HPTA/ HPGA follows what is called a negative feedback loop. Meaning that when you introduce higher than normal levels of test, your body will aromatize that testosterone, intro estrogen so that your hormone levels are balanced. This is why many AAS users will add and AI(anti-aromatase) drug which will prevent some of this from happening. There are some compounds out there that do not aromatize, such as trenbolone.

If you are still growing, androgenic compounds may force your growth plates closed sooner than they would naturally. And if you are still growing you should not use steroids. Try and make as many gains as possible while you are growing, and wait to use AAS until you have more knowledge of them and how they affect your body.

Shut the fuck up.

A 1 hour period of temporarily elevated androgen levels will not elicit an "anabolic reaction." Get off this forum.

You should be full grown before using steroids. If you have made up your mind at least use a very weak one.

First up is youre diet and training spot on? do you know what youre getting yourself in for using steroids.. pct, how to combat gyno ext?are you over 21? if yes then try this..
any first cycle should be testosterone only with a low dose of an aromatise inhibitor such as aromasin or amiridex to stop oestrogen related sides , bloat gyno ect.
10 weeks of 500mg test enanthate per week with 0.5 mg adex every other day for 12 weeks then 100mg clomid a day for 3 weeks starting week 12
