Do you ever get tired of being so smart?

 

[NeuroRN]

Haha I found that nugget recently and was like. Oh. Damn. Duh. I believed that for way too long.

 

[Poppy]

That is interesting.

 

[NeuroRN]

Either way. If DHT is the cause, taking a pill (finasteride) to block all dht in the body (an essential androgen for health) DEFINITELY isn’t the answer. This much we should all agree on.

 

[Jonny]

I think finasteride blocks like 70-80% dht so one could argue taking finasteride while blasting could result in normal dht… lol

On the other hand dutasteride blocks like 98%

 

[NeuroRN]

Either way, what’s the point? We act as if DHT is somehow a disposable hormone for the sake of our hair?

 

[Dirtnasty]

We have hormones for a reason

 

[Jonny]

I personally can’t see how dropping DHT to zero would be good but cranking DHT sky high through the use of high test levels is responsible for alot of the negative side effects that result from high testosterone dosages.
I am by know means an expert thought lol

 

[Dirtnasty]

Why everything needs to be balanced

 

[NeuroRN]

Moderation in one leads to moderation to the other. Either way hard to explain why teens aren’t balding and having all the DHT side effects we claim.

Very far from expert at anything

 

[Poppy]

Very far from expert at anything

I respectfully disagree

 

[Dirtnasty]

There’s science I’ve seen why but don’t remember

 

[Jonny]

Actually I knew a guy in high school that was bald lol and loads of people in their early 20s. Androgenic effects take a while to rear their ugly head.

It kind of depends on your genetic predisposition to hair loss I guess. Look at Jay Cutler you know that dude has cranked some shit but he still has a full head of hair.

 

[NeuroRN]

Genetics id say. But it doesn’t really matter!

 

[Poppy]

Turns gray…turns loose…

To me your upper power day is perfect.

Do you rotate movements in and out every so often?

 

[Mossy1985]

I might change up the exercise itself ever so often. Go between Dumbbell, Barbell, and machines. I try to do kind of the same routine just with a few different options per week. You can always tell when your body is getting use to a movement. You don’t feel it the same.

 

[Mossy1985]

Power days I use 65-85 % of my 1RM

 

[Poppy]

I think you’ve broke the code sir.
