finasteride

[upperhandy]

anyone run finasteride during their cycle?

am just starting the process of trying to put together an intelligent cycle and am wondering if finasteride is worthwhile at all...or will it just interfere with the test gains while not doing much to mitigate the unwanted androgenic sides?

i have been through a few iterations with the members of this board and am now leaning toward a test/deca cycle

was thinking of a test/deca cycle (2:1) with hcg/novaldex/finasteride and Clomid/novaldex as my PCT

will have letro on had in case of gyno.

feedback?

Some say finesteride interferes with gains and others say it does not. This has been widely debated.

Finesteride blocks alpha5reductance to prevent test from converting to DHT. DHT is a powerful male hormone which is 6 times more anabolic than testosterone. You get gains off this conversion to DHT as well as an increase in sex drive. The penalty is losing your hair and agrevating your prostate.

However blocking the conversion to DHT will also mean more free test. Which for some may mean more gains then they would get from the DHT.

It's different from person to person.

For me personally my gains and libido do better with the DHT than they do with the little bit of extra test that I would get from blocking the conversion.

But for you it might be totally different.

if i never developed any type of hair loss while taking sustanon, does it mean i do not need finasteride ever?
