Would love a post about fasting and how to optimize it, both dry and wet fasts. How to prep, how long for max benefit, how to break, etc.
If you have time, you can just answer those about 3 questions for a dry fast.
Thank you!
Good morning! Is there a way to tell if someone is a hyper responder to DHT esters, average responder or a low responder? Similar to how with Test esters there’s hyper, average and low/non responders. For example if someone took 125mg/week of Test Cyp and their serum Total Test was 1600ng/dL you could say that they’re a hyper responder.
I kept wondering the last couple weeks why in all the DHT articles that there isn’t serum DHT level recommendations, but instead just dose recommendations. But I just reread your DHT Esters: The Complete Guide download yesterday and found on pg 52 “why serum levels can be misleading”. So that’s because they don’t show androgenic activity in your tissues. So now I understand why the dose recommendations.
Basically why I’m also really wondering is I took 75mg DHTE(allegedly) weekly EOD dosing for 6 weeks and got a serum DHT trough level of 407ng/dL. Was wondering if there is anyway to tell if that’s an average or maybe higher response? coupled with maybe the positive benefits I’ve felt with it also? Is there enough data gathered within the DHT community that you’re in, to maybe say at least for serum levels that this is an average or above response to that dose? Or maybe not enough data yet or more info needed?
Thanks and sorry for the long question(s). I didn’t really know how else to word/ask this so I just kinda kept going haha.
