I think this study is significant in that it showed DHT administration DECREASED libido.This underscores what I've written many times about so-called "finesteride syndrome",that is it isn't as related to Lowered DHT as much as Beleived.Thousands of men have used finesteride with no significant...

HCG long term My feeling is that you can stay on low-dose (no more than 500 iU a week) HCG indefinitely. I never found, nor heard of any evidence that using this dose range causes any type of problem. However, I have seen studies (I cannot supply specific names and journals) noting that...

I can verify that Dr. Rand McClain is knowledgeable, as well as being one of the nicest guys you can ever meet. He takes his time with patients, and doesn't "cop an attitude" as do many other physicians I've dealt with over the years. In fact, Rand is my personal physician and has been for...

That would only be true if Arnold stayed on steroids consistently, which he did not.

Arnold cycled his steroids, getting off them months at a time, and also used a conservative program. So there was no need for HCG in his case.

The former Soviet sports program scientists considered direct abdominal training a waste of time, since they noted that the abdominal and oblique muscles functioned to stabilize the torso, and therefore were heavily involved in most lifting movements. The late Casey Viator, the youngest man ever...

If this is the case, then the increased CVD effects noted in the study once again prove that it's LOW testosterone that is the problem with CVD onset, rather than the converse.

Rogaine only works if used at the start of the balding process. If you wait too long, it does absolutely nothing.

The results of this study at first seem troubling, because they seemed to have taken into account variables, such as CVD risk factors that may have confounded the results of the study. On the other hand, if you look at the suspected causes of how testosterone therapy may cause CVD, you get a...
