Testicular Atrophy

**duramaxedge** · 12-19-2007, 11:18 AM

Ok, This question is for anyone that is smarter than me (ie. most of you)..

I have run lots of different compounds in my vast adventure at getting big..
(Eq, Winny, Test E, P, C , Sustanon , Tren Ace, Anavar , Dbol , Deca )..

Heres what I dont understand and would like some input on..

I have Never had noticeable Testicular Atrophy..

Why is this? Is it selective? I know my gear is good.. Ive got damn good gains from it??

Anyone? Vets, ?

Seems to affect people differently, i get it sometimes, sometimes i dont really. However regardless of the atrophy that isn't to say your HPTA isn't being shut down.

I'm not smarter than you, but I'll take a stab at answering anyway. I've know people who ran the exact same cycle, some shriveled up like raisins while others didn't. It seems to be very dependent on the individual.

Ima- thats kinda what I was speculating.. Just weird to me.. I guess I never really understood the exact science behind it.. and how or why people are/could be affected differently.. I am still curious to here the exact science behind it if anyone knows..

Testicular shrinkage depends on the following 4 factors:

- Each person's individual genetics (determines how everyone reacts differently to something)
- What type of steroid you use (some are more suppressive than others)
- Duration of use (the longer you use it, the more your natural production will be suppressed and/or shut down)
- Dosage (higher the dosage, the more suppression and/or shut down of natural production)

The overall determining factor, however, is genetics. Some people have a higher threshhold and can tolerate higher dosages and longer durations than the average person and experience no shrinkage. Personally, I have never experienced any shrinkage at all. Personal genetics.

Some are not effected by it so yes it can be selective. You most likey run smart cycles and proper PCT right?

I would hope so

**duramaxedge** · 12-19-2007, 11:55 AM

I guess I am genetically blessed.. My cycles have been all over the charts.. with again no atrophy.. Suppose like its said.. Genetics.

**Bigmax** · 12-19-2007, 11:56 AM

Ran the same compounds and then some...never had a problem with that or gyno...actually never had a problem period...The guys are right as far their answer...i wont be a parrot and repeat it.

true. I have never had any shrinkage but sometimes post cycle my libido goes out the window for a while. infact, my libido has never been the same after I did my first cycle.

i hope your gf hasnt noticed ur testicles shrunk lol jk bro

**rodgerj** · 12-30-2007, 10:10 PM

If they do shrink so your sack looks a little empty, can HGC actually reverse that? and if you have never had any shrinkage but just want to carry your bag round in a wheelbarrow, can it make them bigger?
