[Music] what's up everyone its Russo I hope everyone is we subscribe here and please follow me on instagram at Rousseau lifts in case something happens to this channel you can follow message me interact with me directly and there's daily content on there hope to see you guys on Instagram and what's up everyone its ruse I hope everyone is doing well a quick topic video today on androgen basis as well as test basis so there's a lot of confusion in my Instagram DM box about do I need a test base for this why do I need a base why can't you do saw arms only Rousseau you've done storms only before now you don't do storms only like what's the deal with that I've made videos in the past touching on androgen bases and test bases but it still seems to confuse people so I'm going to try and lay it out as simple as possible so what's arm specifically and then I'll go into regular gear cycles too as far as androgen bases are concerned but with songs specifically Psalms do not convert to estrogen or DHT that means once this arm is saturated in the system you know most of the time the hbt a will pick up that something is binding with the androgen receptors and there's all this free testosterone floating around and your HP ta will autocorrect and start suppressing natural testosterone now that's fine you know natural testosterone being suppressed with the exogenous arm being added in is fine this arm is taking over the role of the androgen in the body so the androgen the spine however sarbs the androgen pathway is fine however sarbs don't convert to estrogen so that neck that natural testosterone that was converting the estrogen giving you a constant supply of normal estrogen is now gone so you're eventually going to choke out your estrogen and you're going to have low estrogen virtually no estrogen I've seen blood workups arms only cycles again high dosage storms only cycles where the estrogen is virtually non-existent now why is this important you need estrogen to build muscle you need estrogen to normal Abita functions estrogen is very important when it comes to muscle gain I know you know people think oh it's all about the most androgen now you need to keep a healthy normal level of estrogen in your blood work that is the most optimal so the issue I ran into with the Psalms of endless cycles I get really mad when people say oh none of this matters Rousseau because you know you're not even documenting the storm you're using a test base I was the one of the first people to do storm's only cycles I think I was one of the only people to document all my storms only cycles in video format and the issue I would run into was around week 7 is when suppression would really start messing with me and I wouldn't progress any farther and my libido would start to dip Authority would start to set in all of that that wasn't because my antigens were low my androgens were high because the exhaustion asaram was being added in what was happening was you know that sorum finally suppress my natural testosterone to a point where I had no little to no estrogen conversion going on so basically I couldn't progress any farther I wouldn't make any more gains I believe there was one video dr. Tony huge made where he asked a competitor who ran and blasted a eyes year-round he's like did you gain any muscle from blasting a eyes year-round which I highly recommend you don't do and he said it was the best he ever looked but he made absolutely zero gains so estrogen is very important that's why with s23 I always say you need some sort of exhaustion Asst form of to be added in because s23 is going to shut down your natural test very fast as well as high doses of LGD high doses of RAD they're all going to shut your down shut you down and you're gonna run into the estrogen issue so something that converts to estrogen is needed whether that be ruble on derma can cream rub on four and Rho cream regular four and Rho D ball test obviously being the best but anything that's gonna have an estrogen conversion and keep your estrogen at a normal level I would highly recommend if you're planning on going over seven weeks you can get away with little storms only cycles you can get great results but if you're doing a longer hired ocean cycle then you're probably limiting your gains from the crash of estrogen from your natural testosterone being crashed and then the storms are present in the system but they're not going to convert to estrogen so adding in some exogenous form of estrogen is going to help you out a lot now androgen bases with gear is a different thing so androgen base is different from test based test base is more around storm's only cycles and why you need some sort of form of exogenous estrogen that's what I mean by test base when I'm talking when I beam by antigen base is when people don't understand the half-life of compounds so not every compound last 24 hours in the system some lasts as little as 3 to 4 hours some last six hours lgd 4033 lasts around 27 hours so if you're going to utilize a compound that only lasts 3 to 4 hours or even six hours if you're dosing that once a day that means your levels gonna spike and it's going to taper off would be virtually non-existent so as your testosterone your natural testosterone crashes if this is all you're utilizing is just this one short half-life compound and you don't have the understanding that you need to keep blood levels so that means if it's a three-hour you know half-life compound you need to be pretty consistent on Keeping Up with dosing and splitting it up throughout the day which when you go to sleep you know it would definitely have life out of your system almost but you need to be constant at keeping that dosage constant otherwise you're gonna have issues where at some points in the day your androgen levels are extremely high and other points of the day your energy levels are non-existent after your natural testosterone is suppressed so what I mean by androgen base is either a base of testosterone ass arm can be used as an androgen base something with a 24-hour half-life or something that you know you can keep stable in the system that is going to just have a constant androgen level for you to fall back on meaning maybe you want to try and play around with pre-workout androgens but you can't only utilize pre-workout androgens all the time otherwise you're gonna suppress your natural testosterone and your androgens are gonna spike when you dose the pre-workout androgens but as the short half-life step out you're left with no androgens in your system but if you had LGD base that's constantly stable in the blood you could add you know a pre-workout androgen such as YK 11 or any oral form of gear that's short half-life and you could spike your pre-workout it would taper off but it wouldn't crash because the LGD 4033 is still a stable blood level what has a long half-life it's still keeping your androgens there so it's very important to try and keep blood levels as stable as possible or at least have one androgen as your base to fall back on again testosterone being the most commonly used thing for an androgen base but you can use any sort of androgen as long as you have again a norm amount of estrogen going on you can use anything that you can keep stable and constant so you really need to research into what your cycle is gonna be and how you're going to utilize things what the half-lives of the compounds you want to use are and if you need to keep a constant a constant androgen in there because you know the half-life short you're not going to be able to dose it all day to keep the blood level stable so you're gonna need to add an antigen base or if you're playing around and utilizing sarbs then you need to think about if the dosage is high enough with my natural test be suppressed enough to a point where I'm gonna have low estrogen issues should I look into adding a test base or an exogenous form of estrogen to combat that issue that's going to save you a lot of headaches as far as you know getting the most out of the cycle as well as combating libido issues because when your hand engines are spiking all over the place that's going to lead to more acne that's going to lead to more side effects more libido issues and overall it just all problems that could easily be avoided if you did the research before and figured out the game plan as far as you know what half-lives do I need to work with or what do I need to add in to keep everything put on quote normal as far as blood work is concerned so hopefully that opens up your mind about how to plan out your next cycle or how to be healthier about or how to be smarter about going about your next cycle otherwise guys happy Friday I will see you in my next video [Music]
