Nolvadex xt with DAA

[DJ12]

Tried DAA and bloated really bad. gained about 8 lbs in 1 week lol. Not an exaggeration, im extremely sensitive and react uniquely to a lot of supps and medicines.
I have been reading that DAA has shown that it increases estrogen as well as test. I have a bottle of Nolvadex xt that i never used and was wondering if it would be effective to take that in conjunction with DAA.

What Im trying to accomplish:

Im a 32 year old ex boxer that is in ok shape. I would like to lose about 10 lb's wile maintaining strength. My diet is currently pretty clean. I thought about trying a small test cycle but I just dont feel like thats a fit right now. I just want a little test boost for maintaining strength wile i lean out and something that can give my over 30 ass a little motivation. I am interested in hearing opinions and experiences. If anyone has any other options I would love to hear them. Thanks fellas.

Thoughts anyone? Or is it just that stupid of a question lol.

Your right DAA does increase esrogen some too,,,Ive seen it in bloodwork.

[DJ12]

would novadex xt help to combat that? it seems that this would work do to nolvas estrogen blocking properties

[MickeyKnox]

No. Nolva is a SERM. If your estrogen is rising you will need a solid AI like Arimidex or Aromasin, depending on bloodwork.

As an aside, im amazed at your gains of 8lbs in one week while trying to diet down.



SERM, AI Definition

I know it sounds crazy and exaggerated but its the truth. Maybe only 6 pounds, it depends on the time of day that i weighed myself but def between 6 or 8.

I didnt mean the SERM Nolva I ment the OTC Nolvadex xt made by gaspari. I believe the nolvaadex xt acts more like an AI. Correct me if im wrong please.

I don't use OTC products to control my E2, nor would i recommend them.

AI and SERM's can be purchased through the site sponsor above. AR-R.

Ok cool. So do you think running an AI in conjunction with DAA would make sense or do you believe it would be a waste? Thanks Mickey

I think that if your bloodwork reveals your E2 levels are out of range and you feel like crap, i would include a small dose of a solid AI and monitor.

When was the last time you had BW done?

Actually I never have. Not sure how to go about it. I had blood work done for Life ins policy however I do not believe they tested hormonal levels. How does one go about getting blood work. Just ask family Dr?

I would simply ask for a full blood panel and make sure you have all the major hormone profiles covered.

Something like this;

Full Blood Panel

-Lipid Profile
-Complete Blood Count w/ Differential
-Estradiol
-Hemoglobin A1c
-Cardiac C-Reactive Protein Test, High Sensitivity
-Insulin Growth Factor (IGF -1)
-Thyroxine-Stimulating Hormone (TSH)
-Gamma Glutamyl Transpeptidase (GGT)
-Insulin, Fasting
-Comprehensive Metabolic Panel
-Luteinizing Hormone(LH)
-Testosterone , Serum
-Sex Hormone binding Globulin, Serum
-Urinalysis, Routine
-Follicle-Stimulating Hormone (FSH)
-Magnesium, Serum
-Thyroxine (T4) Free, Direct
-Iron, Serum w/ TIBC
-Dehydroepiandrosterone Sulfate (DHEA)

Includes:

Cholesterol, total; high-density lipoprotein (HDL) cholesterol; low-density lipoprotein (LDL) cholesterol (calculation); triglycerides; very low-density lipoprotein (VLDL) cholesterol (calculation);

Hematocrit; hemoglobin; mean corpuscular volume (MCV); mean corpuscular hemoglobin (MCH); mean corpuscular hemoglobin concentration (MCHC); red cell distribution width (RDW); percentage and absolute differential counts; platelet count; red cell count; white blood cell count;

Estradiol, serum; Sensitive Assay

Hemoglobin (Hgb) A1c; Cardiac C-Reactive Protein, High Sensitivity; IGF-1;

Damn Mickey your a beast brotha. I appreciate your knowledge and all of your help. I am gona check that out this week. So what do i do once i receive my blood work? I certainly will have no clue what im looking at lol. I guess I can get my Dr to explain however i wouldn't feel comfortable talking to him about taking steroids or even test boosters. Do you have any book recommendations? A book that breaks down endocrinology for the laymen?
