DHT & Strength

[bossman_1986]

Since dutasteride inhibits most of your dht, wouldn't that kill alot of your strength gains on cycle since dht is a big part in strength gains??

If your cycle is test only maybe you notice that. But if you stack it with a dht and/or 19nor, i doubt that you will feel a difference.

how's your strength on a cycle when you use a dht-inhibitor?

[hugovsilva]

I run a dht inhibitor since i was 22. Am 30 now, so i can't tell the difference.

do you still have a full head of hair?

[hugovsilva]

My hairline started to receed at 21. Started finasteride at 22. From then to now, i haven't noticed any further receeding. Basically i just lost a bit at the front and most people don't notice it.

[football2007]

Yes I definitely notice strength loss from it.

If you used DHTs, make sure you use topicals of some kind, even then its a gamble if you are predisposed to MPB.

I just stopped duta and my strength went up pretty good..hairline still looks like it is holding and Im on cycle..but Im sure I'll shed pretty soon and start freaking out and hop back on it :0

[bossman_1986]

thats why im thinking about using 0.25mg/day of dutasteride..would it still be effective at that dose?

[football2007]

Yes. I ran it primarily at that dose for the past 2 years.

[bossman_1986]

i only want to run duta during my cycle and pct then stop until next cycle..but im still negotiating on what dose to use..i dont want to lose strength gains but i want to keep my hair

[hugovsilva]

DHT wont interfere with gains but will interfere with hair for sure if you are prone. Keep in mind that duta/finasteride only work for test.

[bossman_1986]

but people like football2007 say it does interfere with "strength gains"

[hugovsilva]

When I cycle I am not to worried about strength gains as i am not a powerlifter. I am mostly interested in body composition changes. Strength comes and goes with cycles, and just by increasing your muscle mass you will increase your strength. But my friend, unlike strength, when hair goes, its gone for good most of the times.

true..im not a powerlifter but strength is still important to me..because first comes the strength then comes the new muscle mass and it feels really good to be handling hardcore heavy weights

thats why i wanna use as low dose as possible which is effective for treating hairloss but still get good strength gains..i want to know what people think of using 0.25mg/day of dutasteride

so what´s the point of using it while running some dht or 19nor? it does not do nothing right?

DHT wont interfere with gains but will interfere with hair for sure if you are prone. Keep in mind that duta/finasteride only work for test.

since you prone to hair loss , what you use when running dht/19nor ? minoxidil?

[hugovsilva]

so what´s the point of using it while running some dht or 19nor? it does not do nothing right?

True. Finasteride only works for testosterone.

since you prone to hair loss , what you use when running dht/19nor ? minoxidil?

Spironolacone lotion 5% and Nizoral shampoo 2% are your best bets.

[Z-Ro]

True. Finasteride only works for testosterone.

[bossman_1986]

does anyone use dutasteride at 0.25mg/day??????????

[hugovsilva]

What I can tell you is that i use finasteride 1mg ed off cycle and 2.5mg ed on cycle. As for duta i don't know.

[anhukem]

What I can tell you is that i use finasteride 1mg ed off cycle and 2.5mg ed on cycle. As for duta i don't know.

wow that´s new to , how do you do 2.5mg? usually i use propecia 1mg pills and i know proscar 5mg pill humm do you take half a proscar? and the sex drive?

[hugovsilva]

Yes, half a proscar pill. Sex drive is ok.

bad idea man. duta/fina maintain and somewhat grow a little hair back sometimes. once u stop, any hair that u have kept from the duta/fina will be lost almost immediately. therefore if u start using duta now to prevent further MPB then u pretty much will have to use it for the rest of ur life. .25mg a day should work. most recommend .5mg per day.

[bossman_1986]

but wouldn't it prevent hairloss from testosterone use atleast

do you mean i'll lose even more hair if i use a dht-inhibitor during a cycle?
