Why do we need Test?

[ant_8u]

I posted a thread yesterday asking one or two things about my first cycle.

The advice given to me was invaluable and i thank everyone who contributed to it.

I learnt a great deal yesterday.

I was asking lots of questions about my first cycle.

The way i was carrying on i would have had a cycle far too advanced for my body to cope with.

I was given straight forward, knowledgable info, and i plan to follow the advice given to me.

One of the main things that popped up was the need for Test in every cycle.
Test must be the base for every cycle (the centre, if you will)

I was told not to use too many compounds in my first cycle, and since Test should be included an ideal first course would be:

Test Eth for 12 weeks @ 500mg per week
Nolvadex during course @ 10mg per day
Clomid for PCT.

The course described above will be the course i will use for my first cycle.

BUT,,,

There is one thing that i was thinking about as i lay in bed last night.

Now, i know you're going to laugh at me but i'm going to ask it anyway.

WHY MUST TEST BE INCLUDED IN EACH CYCLE?
WHY IS IT SO IMPORTANT?
I UNDERSTAND THAT IT IS IMPORTANT BUT I DON'T KNOW WHY

I could only come up with one explination, and it's probably wrong!!

Naturally (when not using steroids) testosterone is the most abundant hormone in your body.

When you start taking steroids it's important to keep testosterone levels higher than other hormones.

I.E if i used 400mg Deca i'd need 500mg Test to keep testosterone levels on top.

Otherwise your body goes a bit wild.

You need to inject it so as not to create a testosterone deficit.

When your cycle finishes you need to start PCT to insure testosterone is still the most abundant hormone in your system.

LIKE I SAID, I'M PROBABLY WRONG BUT THAT'S THE WAY IT LOOKS TO ME SO FAR.

Please help me clear up this matter

It would make me more happy than a very happy thing on national happy day

Keeps you dick working.

Keeps a natural hormone in your body.

Cheap.

Effective.

But if you don't wanna run it, don't.

Then you can see why everyone says to run it in every cycle.

youre not too far off. When you take any steroid it will shut down your natural production of testosterone, thus you take test so you still have test in your system. Test is essential for lots of things including libido, mood, and sense of well being. If you dont have test, youre more likely to suffer temporary impotence, loss of sex drive, depression, etc. You do PCT after a cycle to kickstart and get your natural test levels back to normal as quick as possible
