We all know (or should know!) the negative feedback loop of the male reproduction system. Now I could go into binding affinity of different steroids, anabolic to androgenic ration, ect ect..but I will keep it simple. Your hypothalamus, as far as we are concerned, has one job: sense Test levels. Too low and your hypo says to secrete more, too high and it turns itself off so to speak. This is where our discussion comes in. It really annoys me when people say something like, "This steroid shuts you down hard....use this other one instead". Its all NONSENSE!! While on steroids, assuming you are on a dose that exceeds your body's natural levels, your hypo senses the high test levels and in turn shuts off REGARDLESS OF WHAT TYPE OF STEROID YOU ARE ON. Now you are probably asking yourself, what about the half-life of this or that steroid? What about the length of my cycle? These are excellent questions! The moment you go off cycle your body starts clearing the last of the exogenous steroids. Once the circulating test levels drop below the your body's natural levels your hypo will tell your testicles to start secreting more test. This action can be delayed by the longer half-life steroids as they will continue to be sensed by your hypothalamus until they are cleared. So, longer half-life=longer shutdown. Now on to the length of the cycle. If you are on an INCREDIBLY long cycle...lets just say 25 weeks for discussion purposes, your testicles will have atrophied from disuse and they will logically be unable to produce as much Test as normal testicles. The shorter the cycle, the less atrophy, the more test they can produce when ending the cycle...and vice versa. YOUR BODY WILL REACT TO THE ANY OF THE STEROIDS YOU USE IN THE EXACT SAME WAY!! Either your hypothalamus is telling your body to make more test or it isn't regardless of what steroid you use!! When people say "you get shut down harder by this or that steroid" it is like a pregnant woman saying she is a LITTLE pregnant!! Either your hypothalamus is on or off..simple as that. Thought I would share my thoughts, please share yours...that is all.
