does having your estrogen too low on cycle actually hurt your gains or is that a myth? im on week 4 of 500mg a week of test c. ive had my estro a little low the whole time so far because i was paranoid about gyno im lowering my adex dose now. ive gained 9-10lbs so far but seen no strength gains yet. has this low E hurt my gains? is that why i havent seen strength gains yet? the weight gain seems good so i dont think the low e could have had too much effect. i know the first 4-5lbs is water weight because the weight gain was about instant when i started. i was on .5mg of adex a day, now im going .5mg eod
