Estrogen- Let's talk about it

ad

All the talk about AI's and the proper dosage here in the forum lately has brought a question to mind. What is the effect of low estrogen on muscle gain? Does low estrogen reduce your gains or not? Can one over do it with the ai on cycle? I also wonder about this because on my first cycle I didn't use an ai and my gains were more impressive than on the next cycle where I used an ai, and think I may have over done it on the ai and reduced my gains. Give me your thoughts and understanding on this.

when estrogen is low in men, we are unable to hold water properly in fat, tissue and muscle. water plays a significant role in muscle growth and maintenance. its needed to help lubiricate muscles, joints, ligaments and tendons, also to shuttle vital nutrients with in these areas. also with low hydration levels comes with it, thicker blood and the consequences of that. with poor hydration due to high estrogen, (E2/estrodiol) we are unable to get the proper amount of oxygen, and nutrition to the muscle and thus halt growth or even reverse it. it can lead to muscle, joint, ligament and tendon damage. estrogen plays a vital role in growth and maintenance.

There are 4 estrogen hormones. Both men and women posses 3 of the 4, with the 4th becoming prominent during pregnancy. Greater proportions in women, though, especially during menstration.
