We are back for another installment of answering your questions.  I was away helping a friend and patient for his MMA fight which he won with unanimous decision :) Back to the grind.

KROD, sorry to bust your balls a little but if you read the post that i had just made i went into a long discussion on how i am not a fan of arimidex at all and discussing dosages are futile since there are better products out there.

AMD, Believe it or not the body can rebound pretty quickly i mean less than 90 days if you are doing your part.  The biggest thing is looking at your total test and E2 and see where it falls with your 200mg weekly dosage.  It is very peculiar but once test levels climb past 900, lipid abnormalities start to show their faces.  The higher the level the worse it will be. Obviously, taking Omega 3, healthy nuts, coconut oil, avocados etc will all help.

Saps,  drugs such as sildenafil and tadafil are pretty "safe" drugs for long term use.  Sildenafil was researched for many years for cardiac patients so it has a pretty safe profile.  Its biggest no no is taking with sublingual nitro because the combination can significantly drop your BP.  Cialis is already approved for daily use but at lower dosage of course.  Their use help significantly in vascularity and increase in circulation to different muscle groups during exercise.  It also helps in other departments :)  Cabergoline long term is a little more questionable. There is not "significant data" but there are reports of cardiac issues with higher dose long term use of cabergoline. Most reports point to mitral valve issues.

cac3071,  Some people on 75mg of test weekly are still producing sperm and some are completely sterile.  It is very individualized.  The "male birth control shot" not only includes test but also includes small amount of progestins to make sure it achieves a near 100% sterility. And no you dont have to come off. You can try the HCG/Clomid method and retest sperm count in 30 days if it is up then you are good, if not, then you need to come off completely.

cckf2004, boldenone itself is a great anabolic compound.  It really is great on paper. My biggest issue is the ester that it comes in so damn long acting that you wont see results for 6 weeks.  This drug is a 14-20week type of compound. And it will take 6 weeks to really come out of your system.  So we are talking basically half a year this compound is in your system which can really cause havoc on your RBC count, blood pressure and side effects of long term anabolics in your system.  I am a fan of short acting medications overall.  This kind of leads to the next answer which is i was never a fan of Sustanon for the same reason.  Parent compound is same. Test is test.  I just do not see why we should combine four different types of test to achieve the same results that you can get from either short acting or long acting.  Pick your battle and just go. When there is propionate and cypionate available i see no reason to use sustanon 250.  Also as far as hairline different people respond differently to different compounds. There is no question that masteron and winstrol do cause significant issues to the hairline. But i have seen patients that have had no side effects at all. But be prepared to lose it. If you dont, then you are happily surprised.

AMD, to answer the 2nd part of your question. No one has studies what happens when your HDL is 17 vs 16 etc.  I cant give you answer like that.  All we know is that it is a worsening trend. The lower the HDL, the higher rate of plaque formation.  But remember lipid profile is like a 401k program.  You are not gonna see long term results in a couple of months one way or the other. Just because your HDL is 17 for 30 days doesnt give you a death sentence at 40.  Same as in just because you were good for two months and your lipid profile was excellent and then you ate like shit and had a crappy lipids the rest of the year.  Its is the year after year, decade after decade of either good or bad cholesterol that can add or decrease 10-20yrs to your life. So i hope that makes sense.

pimpman,  i would start the PCT 4 weeks after the last injection of test E. And yes, you take a single shot of the 100mcg of triptorelin and start tore and clomid the same day.  It doesnt matter how much water you dissolve it in.  There is a 100mcg of powder in the vial. Whether you put .25cc, .5cc, or 1cc of water as long as you withdraw all the water and inject it then it doesnt matter since you have injected the entire content of the vial. Hope that makes sense.

Thanks again for all the questions. Please keep this thread alive and post important medical questions that HAVE NOT already been discussed. Thanks again.
