Guys, please listen to me on this, I studied Bio-medical science of which chemistry and genetics were my strong points, I was supposed to do a degree in Pharmacology but didn't as Extreme took off. My fiance did 2 years of human physiology and pharmacology, so this is a topic I am very interested in.
A steroid course should not be longer than 12 weeks in my opinion and the substances should be cycled to prevent problems like this. We have different receptors and hence the reason for different steroids to manipulate the way in which these different receptors actually carry their signal to the cell nucleus.
Had you done 6-8 weeks on enanthate you would still have been on 2 weeks after cessation of that product by the time it left the receptors, you could have switched to prop, tren acetate or an oral for a month as the enanthate cleared your system and when you stopped the fast acting at the end you really would have been off.
I used gear pretty constant for about 8 or 9 years and never once had problems in the wedding tackle dept, if fact I was always the opposite - no sex and I was chewing the curtains at night!
My courses were normally 6-8 weeks on then 5 off. 4 weeks of heavier androgens e.g. sust in week 1 and 2 because of its fast acting properties, usually with deca or equipoise then the sust would be replaced by enanthate for 2-3 weeks then at week 5 or 6 I would start on testex or propionate with winni tabs to finish up.
I would normally run nolvadex from week 3 onwards, I know people will say "that hinders your gains", possibly but better than making my gyno worse and I held water as it was. When I started the people I listened to sounded like they knew their stuff, nobody in our gym took nolv and many of us had/have gyno, this inspired me to never put another thing into my body unless I understood it. The same stands true now that I am on prescribed medication to keep me alive, my doctors don't like the fact I know more about the drugs I'm on than they do but it has been a major help when things have gone wrong with me medically because I know many of the contra-indications of the drugs, when they want to give me something else I tell them they can't it will react with my current meds.
Its better to hit it a bit harder for a shorter period than a small amount over a long time, thats asking for a shut down.
