I don't think its the Estrogen that is directly responsible for muscle loss, its more the lack of testosterone, steroids have a anti-catabolic effect by reducing the catabolic effect of the body's own hormone, cortisol. When taking steroids, the steroid molecules block the cortisol receptors so that the cortisol produced by the adrenal gland cannot attach to the receptors, thus remaining for the most part deactivated. when the steroid regime is terminated the cortisol receptors are suddenly freed and the result is a large quantity of free cortisol molecules in the blood, which can break down amino acids....

One of the main problems with high estrogen is Gynecomastia, because the suddenly low androgen level shifts the relationship in favor of the estrogens which suddenly become the domineering hormone, plus there's also water retention, fat build up to contend with.......

thanx bro ^^^

just researching again before my next cycle, I did a cycle last year, and didnt think it was working. So i suddenly stopped with out a pct, (only because i didnt feel it was working) although i had nolvadex for it. Then WHAM !!! lost 10kgs in 1 month. It wasnt until recently i realized it was working. I cant do the old weights i used to, in that 4 weeks i lost all my strength and progress.During the cycle i had testicular shrinkage, night sweets, acne, oily skin etc etc. I did gain 4kg over an 8week period on the test enanthate, but i guess my diet and training wasnt up to scratch. Really want to try it again and give it my all.

Being a newbie i didnt know what to expect on steroids. People initially just think on roids you just instantly blow up quick. I Now know the importance of proper nutrition, good training etc .... cant wait for next cycle
