If the 5AR inhibitor u have in mind is Finasteride, it will only aid in type 2 DHT, which is mostly for hair loss. Type 1 DHT inhibitors like MK-386 is mostly for acne. If u opt for dutasteride, u successfully block both.1. i know that 5AR inhibitor help prevent the androgenic effects of Test without compromising the anabolic effects (which is good ) do you guys think its a plus to have one??
Although DHT doesn't play a roll in muscle building (a known one anyway) it does play a roll in sex drive, stregnth and energy.
I'd have them on standby, and use them only when u start to notice signs of gyno or excessive bloating. Its good to see ur natrual limits, and its easy to prevent symptoms escalating into real problems once they begin.2. Is an AI usefull in a cycle thats dosed under 500mg / week?? i know every person is different but Is it really worth it to inhibit the conversion of estrogen during a Test cycle?
Note: DHT is also a type of anti-estrogen, if u ran dutasteride or Fin, be sure to use an anti estrogen at all times.
I'd use it mostly for PCT, as its known to afect IGF-1, so not so suitable while bulking.3. should nolvadex still stay in the mix?? i`ve read that it isnt an Anti-estrogen but more of a SERM....
