    The UNANSWERED QUESTIONS Thread

    Has there ever been questions you've asked but that you've never been able to get an answer to? If so, post them here.

    I have two:
    1) Why does ejaculate volume decrease when on steroids ?
    2) Why do shorter-ester steroids like Propionate result in less water retention?

    Regarding the first one, I don't see why testicular atrophy would result in less semen volume, because sperm only makes up a very small part of the volume of semen.

    Regarding the second one, the only answer I ever got was "It's been proven that shorter esters result in less water retention". But I never got an explanation as to why.

    1) because your testicles stop producing testosterone while on steroids ...
    2) steadier blood levels

    Well we can be sure it's nothing to do with having a lack of Testosterone in your blood, because everyone will tell you that ejaculate volume decreases drastically when you do a cycle of just Testosterone on its own.

    Even when a guy gets a vasectomy, his seminal volume doesn't change. I don't see why atrophy of the testicles would result in a reduction of ejaculate volume.

    Is there something other than the testicles perhaps that atrophies in the absence of Leutinizing Hormone and Follicle Stimulating Hormone? Maybe the Cowper's Gland suffers? http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cowper%27s_gland

    2) steadier blood levels
    I think the real answer to this is that they simply don't know why. You can get just as stable blood levels using long esters if you inject the right amounts at the right times. I even dare to say that it would be easier to keep stable blood levels with longer esters!

    1. Ejaculatory volume will decrease because endogenous LH and FSH have been shutdown too. There is no LH/FSH to stimulate the leydig cells to manufacturer testosterone and steroli cells to manufacturer sperm.

    2. Short esters aromotase less than long esters do. Even at the same doses. Less aromotase = less estrogen = less water retention. The ester can actually influence aromotasation and DHT conversion, even if the parent hormone is the same. Long esters also seem to suppress gonodal function more than short esters.

    how many licks does it take to get to the center of a lollipop?

    Figuratively speaking if there was no molten lava in the earths center and you actually could dig a whole all the way through to china. What would happen if you jumped in? Would you fall into the sky when you get to the other side?

    OK I can understand the second one, thanks for that.

    But as regards the first one... I really think that the testicles play a minimal role in the production of semen. Sure, they add sperm to semen, but that makes up only a tiny volume of semen (you can confirm this by asking guys who have had a vesectomy)

    I don't see why damage to the testicles should result in decreased ejaculate volume.

    If lack of LH or FSH caused something like the Cowper's Gland to deteriorate, then I could understand, but I haven't heard anything about this.

    Also don`t forget test suspension causes bloat so short esters dont all cause less bloat.

    If you use HCG during some sort of testosterone based cycle, your seminal volume wont decrease. Why? Because it mimics LH. Or better, mimic FSH (as its used primarily for sperm production) and use HMG.

    Arginine seems to increase seminal volume too. I'm not quite sure how as I've never looked into it. But SERMs like Tore, Tamox and Clomid have the same effect and all they do is raise ganadotropins. That would suggest ganadotropins are respnsible (they are) for seminal volume and function.

    Vasectomy's have nothing to do with ganadotropins (LH, FSH, T). I dont see the complication in understanding this...

    Endogenous ganadotropins are shutdown when using exogenous testosterone. Its that simple.

    Not everyone will have a reduction in seminal volume, but the majority will. This is a common side effect during PCT too. LH and FSH never really shut off completely, so I assume thats very individual. It is as some AAS users bounce back faster than others.

    Test Susp isnt esterfied so defies the rule.

    100mg injected of Test Susp means 100mg will aromotase. Thats not the case for Prop, Enan, Ace or Cyp.

    Ive got a unanswered question, Why do newbies join and ask questions regarding AAS and disregard the advice what they are given and do the complete opposite, then within 3 months they are advising newbies on here on various topics and drugs without any kind of experience or knowledge, they suddenly become copy and paste kings and think they give the right advice when they wouldn't listen themselves....ive always wondered which hospital they all come from........

    I heard that pct was what you are supposed to do when you do tren and deca . I heard it means you use tren as a base and do 100mg of deca eod and kickstart with clomid

    Tren 100mg ed week 1-19
    Deca 100mgeod week 1-14
    clomid 10mg week 1-3
