    Adding mast to cruise?

    27 been blasting and cruising for 3.5 years. Finished a 12 week test e npp cycle. Was gonna add mast in at the end but had some shedding last time i used it at 400mg me.
    I'm now starting 200 test cruise dose, but thinking of adding in the mast for a summer cruise. 150 test e with 100 mast p.
    What's you guys opinions on this? Anyone run this before here how did you feel sides? Will I still get the hair shedding at that low of dose.

    Either think of just running test during cruise. Running cruise dose of test until June then add the mast or just cruise on mast and test starting now till the summer. Just wanna hear you guys thoughts, experiences

    Finasteride or dutasteride will help stop shedding. It actually reversed it for me, my hair got thicker with fina, even on cycle. We are however just delaying the inevitable.

    Luckily I have no hair - I have heard many guys stay away from mast due to hair loss being a side effect

    Not much else to make it better from what I know

    fina won't help with mast, as it is not bring converted to dht in the body, it already is dht. nothing for fina to stop.

    fina has a host of terrible sides that just are not worth it. imho. your mileage may vary. but as said. dht compounds won't be affected by fina

    Any opinions of adding it to a cruise? And health concerns at that low of a dose?

    On point. I'm on Fina due to prostate issues and I've had zero sides from it. That said, I'd never consider it unless it's absolutely necessary.

    All I hear lately is issues - followed by more issues


    I have ran mast for months on in - alongside tren, or just it with test


    Does work - yup


    Sides - well, run it & wait n' see

    hey Kel,
    cialis works for prostate issues, correct? is it the BPH that fina helps, or is it some other issue?

    they got my father on fina (he's been on,it since propecia first came out) and last year went through serious thyroid shit . graves disease, ocular pressure decompression surgery, and then ultimately removed thyroid. I keep telling him to get off the fins, get tested for low t and go from there.

    Yes, it's approved by the FDA for BPH, LUTS and ED. It really should be step one for guys before they jump on a Type 1 or 2 blocker. Fina can directly shrink the prostate and make a big difference. Fina blocks 70% of T ro DHT whereas Duta goes up to 90%.

    If your dad goes off the Fina he should know his hormone, dht and psa levels ahead of time. When I went off Fina for a few months just to see if I could my psa shot up to 7.0 on a scale that stops at 4. That sold me on it. Also know that when Fina is implemented T levels normally rise.

    I'm one of the lucky ones in regards to male pattern baldness as I have run Mast at 100mg/ ed without any hair loss. That's one thing I can thank my maternal grandfather for, even though I've met him twice in my life lol, is the fact that he had a full head of hear when he died.

    The gene for male pattern baldness comes from your mother's father (maternal grandfather) if he has male pattern baldness then his grandchild will as well.

    To answer your question, though, I personally don't think it will effect you at that low of a dose. Keep in mind that Testosterone itself will cause hair loss because of its high rate of conversion to DHT which, of course, is what's responsible for that side effect to begin with.

    I've heard people say that certain sides are NOT dose dependent, and I'm not sure if that's true or not, but it makes sense to me that the more of something we take the more of the sides we would experience. So I think it IS dose dependent and at lower doses I'd imagine you will experience less, if any, of that particular side effect.

    How big of a difference will I notice from 200 mg test to a split 100 test 100 mast. I'm talking mood, libido, sides, body comp, ect.

    I'm a fan of running Masteron on pretty much any cycle you ever do , especially if your running 19 nors like deca, npp, tren, ment, because of Masterons strong affinity for SHBG it will make your cycle much more effective and free up more free test, and its an antagonist to both prolactin and estrogen receptors (meaning it will limit negative side effects that come from 19 nor use)

    Waste it how? With cruise dose? Or by not using it. I usually always run 12 weeks test 750 npp 450 then switch last 8 weeks to mast at 150 eod. But didn't want to run all that with new job

    agree with samson. 200mg is not enough even for a cruise. you'll get a little bit of lower SHBG with that, but not near high enough to get an anaoblic and muscle hardening effect.

    Thanks I hear guys saying how great they feel/look on something like 200 test 100 mast. You guys think better sticking with the 200 test

    i personally think guys are better off running the bare minimum test they can get by with and having a second anaboic compound in there, rather then a higher dose of test

    its not the mast thats the issues. its that mast has a strong affinity to SHBG, and will gobble that up thus allowing there to be a lot more free testosterone available to be converted into DHT . so its the test converting to dht thats the issue.
    just look into a DHT blocker or lower your test dosage, not the mast dosage

    whats your size brother ? really i'm thinking a bare minimum cruise is like 150mg test and 300mg mast, depends on how big you are to a degree and what your trying to maintain

    450mg total of gear is far from blasting brother , especially at your size. my last blast was 2000mg of Test per week, 500 tren, 600 mast, 350 npp, 500 deca. and 50mg tren base and 30mg dbol pre workout.. i'm not recommending that at all , just stating a blast is a BLAST. and running 500mg or less of gear is not really blasting

    Yea that was my plan brotha. Heard guys benefiting it from just 100 mg a week. Wanted to see what the thoughts were here but seems like 200 is the sweet spot

    So deciding to cruise on 200 test 100 mast p for now. Might bump it up to 200 a piece once I see how I feel. So I'm coming off a 750 test e cycle and 450 npp. Can I just jump right into 200 test and 100 mast ?

    You can do whatever you want, but the purpose of cruising is to let your body and organs stabilize in normal levels to avoid health problems.

    Drostanolone is one of harshest compounds on blood lipids and RBC production. Even on small doses it will significantly drop your hdl, and increase your hematocrit.

    Agreed this is an important point. Lipids actually are important and if we neglect them we end up hardening our arteries and having to face serious health problems which may never have even been an issue in your lifetime.

    Only if the lipids are causing systemic inflammation.

    Yes, about 30 plus years of literature.
