    nolva start to finish?

    Whats up every one i've read a few things from people suggesting nolva at the start of cycle all the way through ?? any one done this.. i have always thought it was not a good idea to take nolva untill your done and starting your pct (or are showing bad sides).. but then again i am more estro side prone so any thoughts, i seen this on this forum and others where people advice is to run it from start to finish ..

    I'd prefer an AI on cycle for estrogen control.

    But Nolva will work as well.

    Alot of peeps will tell you that nolva will lower your IGF levels, which is true,

    but I've ran nolva throughout cycles and never experienced a reduction in gains because of it.

    Nolva may limit your potential for maximum gains, but it may also help keep you from getting hurt. One of the benefits of using Nolva while on a cycle is that it will help protect your tendons and connective tissue. Of course this depends on what you're running too. If you're using Deca, EQ, or Anavar I wouldn't worry about it, because those all have a positive affect on collagen synthesis, which will keep your joints healthy and actually help repair minor damage. Test, though not exactly the same as the others, can also have a positive affect on tissue repair. The key is to increase or not reduce estrogen. Nolva will actively increase it. Deca, EQ, and Anavar will not reduce it. Test aromatizes to it. All have the same affect for different reasons.

    However, if you're running Winny, D-bol, or anything DHT derrived then I might consider running the Nolva the entire time. Your joints will thank you.

    has there been any studies to show this

    I've been hearing that a lot of these studies were on people on tam for 2+ years

    not 4-8 weeks but maybe it is still enough to impact IGF levels

    is it suppression or downregulation or how does it work?

    so the tam must be working in different wavelengths as the test on the other side raising the IGF levels is not sufficient, they both work effecting IGF levels differently?

    but to be fare you wouldn't have known how much more you might have gained if you didn't use it on cycle as you did use it



    now my .02c on the subject is

    use the nolva on cycle

    why?

    it's not a suicide inhibitor but a binder so you still have enough estrogen floating around to keep you in some sort of homeostasis

    it's not shit on the cardio vascular system

    improves HDL/LDL

    BUT it's

    subject to it's IGF negatives

    Use an AI if you can't help it with nolva or tweaking dosages

    That's true. It's the lack of estrogen that can be making you feel banged up with sore joints, ect. Estrogen moderates the anti-inflamatory response, so without it you get inflamation and the accompanying pain.

    These days I would suggest running a small dosage AI during your entire cycle.
    Save the NOLVA for PCT.
