After reading an article in the Article Forum here I had a few questions and was looking to get some feedback and opinions in regards to my questions. If the article is true and makes valid points then I think it'd change the way I'd cycle from now on.

The link to the article is here ---> http://www.steroidology.com/forum/s...001#post1444001

Although it is lengthy its a worthwhile read, not just specifically about short cycles but the use of test as a base and the role estrogen plays. I copied and pasted my questions from the thread below.



"A) does anyone advocate running cycles without the base of test? Just kinda seems blasphemous from what all the mods and info here says. What are some of the sides people see from running Tren without Test, are the sides with hairloss reduced? Npp + Tren Ace wuldd interest me as well, but I would see myself getting floored and recovery being a bitch (although I haven't ran a cycle without test so I have no comparison).


B) The article talks about complete and thorough estrogen suppression. I thought I'd seen an article that nolvadex/ anti-e use during cycle would hinder gains. Was this because the anti-e chemical itself or the fact that it suppressed estrogen? Is it beneficial to completely suppress estrogen throughout then?"

I use Eq as a "base" for all my spring/summer cycles.

EQ converts to estrogen. Actually for many its one of the compounds that can sub as a "test" base. though typically you need an androgen to go with it.
