    Tamoxifen ???s

    tamoxifen aka known as nolvadex raises your testosterone 150% with just 20mg correct? If thats the case than it could be considered almost a mild anabolic correct? Does more tamoxifen equal more testosterone?

    no, anything past 20mg is redundant unless you're fighting gyno. Then no more than 40mg.

    And no, nolva isn't considered an anabolic because the medication alone has no effect on muscle mass. It creates systemic effects like increased test production but that's more of a "side effect"

    I'm bulking without AAS and I'm on nolva right now for an estrogen rebound from letro. I'm hornier than usual (my natural usual) and the muscle is coming on easier than it does naturally. NOTHING like AAS, but yes I think it gives a little edge. Maybe I'm just doing it better this time. Who knows.

    How could something that boosts the level of test in your body have no effect on muscle mass, that doesnt add up.

    The first sentance.

    I understand nolva is not COnsidered an anabolic , but it could equal the effect as a mild anaoblic. And that was my question.

    the nolva itself has no effect - but by blocking estrogen it raises test which has an effect. Whereas, with roids, you're injecting the hormone itself

    by Anthony Roberts:
    Unfortunately, Nolvadex isn’t perfect. Anecdotally, it has been linked to reduced gains in some bodybuilders. This isn’t due, as previously thought, to its reducing estrogen levels (which it doesn’t), but rather to it’s ability to possibly reduce IGF (Insulin -like-Growth-Factor) levels, which are important for muscle growth.
    think i'll stick with the test.

    butt 150% test increase. I bet its still better than any OTC test booster. And can create better gains than any.

    watch who you're calling a douchebag pal. i've been training for 22 years and i have used AS in the past. don't get narcy just because you didn't get the answer you wanted. you've been like a dog with a bone rambling on in two different threads with this, no-one has agreed with you yet, you have been given evidence to the contrary and now your turning nasty like a sooky little bitch.

    using Tamoxifen to increase Testosterone levels , comes at a price.

    The free testosterone exists only because it fails to convert to Estrogen..

    so that means an decrease of estrogen.. which will have lots of shitty side-effects..

    U'll have brittle bones.. could lead to osterperosis over the long term,, or maybe injury in the short term... like an old woman that enters menopause, and refuses HRT.. estrogen replacement therapy.. in a few years.. bam osteporosis and brittle bones.... + if u're lifting weight.. u're in trouble.

    also hair loss and many others.. the basic tamoxifan side-effects ...

    are all those side-effects worth the extra 4mg of TEST a day...
    I guess thats a question we kind of ask ourselves everyday when we're messing with our hormones.. but than going by the crowd consensus, u don't see many people cycling tamoxifen, its only used during PCT for as short a time as possible to nicely recover..

    I've read a report of a brazillian bodybuilder trying tamoxifen cycles.. but after a while he stopped cause he really got concerned about brittle bones. Something freaked him out, n he stopped
