So, guys, Derek, more plates, more dates.com.

Today we're going to be talking about the point of a test base.

So I've talked a bit in the past about the importance of estrogen, the misconceptions around the test base.

I want to just break down in a brief summation what the point of it is.

So it's one of the most misunderstood concepts in the community, in my opinion,

is the use of the testosterone base. So, you know, for years, you've probably heard through the

forums through your buddies at the gym, through blah, blah, blah. Testosterone needs to be the

base of every single cycle. And logically, this makes sense on the surface. We naturally produce it.

So if you're shutting yourself down

via exogenous you know hormone use logically you would think i have to replace what is gone

but that's as far as anyone really goes with that insight no one really looks further than that

and they just assume that's the end of the story and that was as far as anyone would really explain

the test base.

They would just say, oh, well, you don't have it in your body because you're shut down, so you need to replace it.

No one really explained what mechanism is really fulfilling that is not filled via any other

androgen or any other anabolic steroid.

I should say more accurately.

So at a higher level, despite the fact that a test base is still something that will be beneficial

for the vast majority of anabolic endogenic steroid users, it's important to understand why it's

there to begin with if you're literally going to be injecting yourself with something.

So why couldn't you do an oral only cycle?

Why is that, you know, frowned upon?
