Offering My Body To Science

[bleachcola]

Now we've all heard of the whole dbol bridge theory, if not run a quick search. I've reached a point in my life where I am just plain sick of not being "on." My current cycle, a modest 500mg/wk of test is coming to a close in a couple months. I am planning on running a full post cycle therapy (pct) with Human Chorionic Gonadotropin (HCG) leading up to Clomid or Nolva. Afterwards I would like to run a low dose of Anavar in the mornings. After an amount of time, undetermined as of now, I will have my doc run a full sex hormone blood panel and I'll post up the results here. But for now I need help determining what dose of anavar to use and am interested in hearing from people who have tried similar bridges in the past. A little anecdotal evidence will make me feel better about this until I get some real scientific evidence from the doc.

Personally, I would rather just stick to 500mg of test/week, but OTOH, no more orals for me. Oxandrolone (Anavar) alone seems to have put my liver enzymes at twice the top of the normal range.

I'm more concerned about an exploding prostate and bad lipid profiles from staying on a regular cycle too long. I get liver values checked regularly, being diabetic, and never saw a problem with orals. All in all I just want to try out the bridge and see what the blood tests have to show for it. I want to weigh the risks and benefits with some scientific legitimacy.

I look forward to seeing the results.

Good luck.........

Oxandrolone causes SIGNIFICANT suppression at 15mg ED within 5 days:

from: http://jcem.endojournals.org/cgi/content/full/84/8/2705

...Total serum T concentrations were within normal physiological range on day 0 (449 ± 35 ng/dL) and day 3 (441 ± 44 ng/dL) of OX treatment. However, by day 5, total serum T concentrations were significantly reduced (282 ± 45 ng/dL; P < 0.05) below day 0 and day 3 values (Fig. 3)...

Figure 3. Total androgen concentration. Total serum T (hatched portion) and OX (black portion) concentrations in five young men on days 0, 3, and 5. *, T decreased significantly from days 0 and 3 to day 5 (P < 0.05).

JDFlex on IFL has also tried the dbol bridge and got bloodwork back showing he was suppressed as well.

Okay, there goes that idea. Hormone Replacement Therapy (HRT) for life it is. Being off just sucks too much.

Theres no harm in running some var between cycles to spare a little size as long as you realize it aint gonna do shit for your hpta. You will however allow other shit to normalize a bit (aside from mranaks super-sensitive lipids).

You never actually say "FIVE" during a count-down, it sounds too much like "FIRE" and can be mistaken as such.



pfff, new mods

IMO, you should still run your experiment. Providing you get blood taken at the appropriate times, that data could prove very interesting.

Oh, I thought that you already knew that all Anabolic Androgenic Steroids (AAS) were suppressive but you were trying for a very mildly suppressive Anabolic Androgenic Steroids (AAS) to see how it affected your natural testosterone production.

It is possible, I suppose, that a low dose of Oxandrolone, along with Nolvadex, would provide for reasonable natural testosterone production. Only one way to find out.

I started there bc an old memory of an Arby's commercial ran through my head at the moment. It was back when they were selling beef 'n' cheddars at $5 for 5 of them. The commercials would be a countdown "5 . . . 4 . . ." and then they rewind the tape back to "5." Get it - 5 4 5, five for five. That was my daily meal after high school let out. Carry on discussion . . .

I've contemplated doing the exact same thing you are about to do, but never went through with it. The added gains from a low dose of anavar would be too low. I prefer giving my body the needed recovery time.

It's more of a mental thing for me. I find it easy to slack on diet and training when I am off simply bc of the fact that I make minimal gains if any when off cycle.

As a steroidology moderator, you are required to put your health at risk for our benefit, or at the very least, amusement.

That's exactly what it is...it seems so pointless workout on when your natty. Why should I do it? So I can put on 2lbs of muscle and 10lbs of fat! lol

I understand completely. Try using creatine or something else as a mental edge.
