How to Avoid the Suppression of Testosterone Production by Using Steroids?

How can we intervene in such a complex biological process as testosterone production? How not to harm and to keep the natural level of testosterone?

Classic steroid cycles that operate around the clock (for example, with the use of injectable testosterone esters), necessarily lead to the suppression of the production of LH, and hence the most testosterone. Are there ways to avoid this? There, with as many as three:

1) Not to use highly androgenic steroids around the clock. This can be done, for example, using oral steroids, which have half-lives of only a few hours. In this half of the dose is taken in the morning, and half - around noon. Even 100 mg per day of methandrostenolone can be used in this manner with a slight suppression of testosterone production. The problem with this method is that the efficiency effects of oral steroids is not comparable with the effect of taking injectable drugs.

2) To use moderate doses of so-called "soft" steroids, which slightly upset the production of testosterone. For example, Primobolan in a dosage of 200-400 mg per week is perfect for this purpose. However, the results of such a cycle would be comparable with the effect of taking drugs like Sustanon, Omnadren, testosterone cypionate, etc. However, these steroids significantly inhibit the production of testosterone, even at a dose of 100 mg per week. By the way, so the use of these drugs in low dosage does not make sense.

3) In principle it could be used anti androgens, but it's just completely stop the growth results in a mass and strength.

And the longer the cycle is, the more difficult in the future to restore the normal situation in the body. Therefore, by the way, there is little difference between the use of steroids for 3 or 8 weeks - recovery will take the same time. Between cycles lasting 8 and 12 weeks the difference is more noticeable, even though the 12-week cycle typically does not create too many problems, and restoration of testosterone production would take several weeks. But the cycles are more than 12 weeks can create substantial problems with recovery. It is not known what changes occur in the hypothalamus and pituitary gland in the course too long, but in practice it appears that the longer the cycle after 8 weeks, the longer and more difficult to subsequent recovery. There are suspicions that there are some violations in the mechanisms of secretion of LHRH hypothalamus.
