DHT inhibitor while on cycle and/or after cycle

I have the answers you desire
Use a DHT blocker whenever you run test, regardless of what other compounds you are running. The only possible exception being very low test high deca cycle, but really the idea of deca + dht blocker = hair toxic is bull-crap.
Dutasteride is a stronger DHT blocker, but you should begin at least a week before your cycle, it has a five week half life and takes some time to build up. You can frontload it at 2.5mg a day for 2 weeks, this is shown in studies to reach max concentraton of what you would get at .5mg ed. I like a dose of .25mg ed and feel this is more than sufficent.
A DHT blocker will have no impact on your gains negitivly as DHT is not active in muscle. In fact muscle destroys DHT rapidly rather than produces it. If anything the anabolic enviroment is better with a DHT blocker as the testosterone won't be lost to DHT conversion. The only possible benefit to DHT would be more aggression in the gym, but I think that' s a stupid sacrifice for your hair. IMO you don't need DHT to get pissed off at the weights.
Any loss of sexual desire due to lower DHT will be more than offset by the increase in testosterone of being on cycle. Many people don't have a loss of libido off cycle with a dht blocker.
DHT has an inhibitory action on breast tissue so you will be more gyno prone. Run a mild AI, and stay on the lookout for gyno. The increase in testosterone will also have an inhibitory action as it tips the androgenic/estogenic balance so the higer tendency of gyno may not be that big a factor.
I'm on dutasteride on cycle and off for the last 6 months at .5mg eod. No issues to report. DHT blockers really have minimal sides when you get down to it.

i read the profile of finasteride in the steroid.com profile and they say it does reduce your gains?

That's just theory. You will have less DHT which is highly androgenic, but if you've done your homework, the cycle you are on will have such high amounts of AAS in it that it doesn't matter.
