Upset me? Not particularly. It's just a nonsensical argument. The TITLE of this post is "DOES EVERYONE...." I assure you that YOUR interpretation of your expectation is more tenuous than mine.
You took test before and "couldn't get off your girl."
Consider this:
First cycle accompanies more gains that all others according to consensus.
Increased SHBG may be longer lasting than the time BETWEEN your cycles.
You didn't frontload.
Testicular size is not indicative of anything...
To get an idea of how quickly testicular degeneration occurs from your average multi-AAS cycle, consider this: LH levels are rapidly decreased by the 2nd day of steroid administration.2,9,10 By shutting down the LH signal and allowing the testis to be non-functional over a 12-16 week period, leydig cell volume decreases 90%, ITT decreases 94%, INSL3 decreases 95%, while the capacity to secrete testosterone decreases as much as 98%.2-6 It should be mentioned that visually analyzing testes size is a poor method of judging your actual testicular function, since testicular size is not directly related to the ability to secrete testosterone.4 This is because the leydig cells, which are the primary sites of testosterone secretion, only make up about 10% of the total testicular volume. Therefore, testicular size may appear normal on a cycle, but the testes ability to secrete testosterone upon LH or hCG stimulation can actually be significantly diminished.3-5
Anyway... this whole argument is solved by sending your gear in for analysis, and truthfully, I think that should be peoples FIRST response... beyond a cursory consideration of legitimacy that a batch, serial, or other check may yield.
I bet there are COUNTLESS people on here making gains and having side effects from PLACEBO and NOCEBO that should have their gear checked... why people spend SO much money and time on things and opt not to do that is nothing short of nonsensical.
