I've spent some time over the past year discussing this subject with the Head Endo here at the hospital. (He deals with most of the local sports teams)
I know the generally accepted methodology here is not use AAS until you are under 15%.
But, what is missing in this advice, is you CAN run AAS with elevated BF, just not supraphysical levels. Basically TRT levels. No more than 200mg, if even that depending how elevated your BF is.( he says like no greater than 25%). He has also commented on powerlifters, and those guys use a shit ton of gear, and certainly arent 15% or less.
And with careful blood monitoring and AI's, there is still benefit to getting ones test levels into the high normal range (1000-1200).
Thats straight from him, I have no horse in the race, just thought I'd pass it on.
Its value is exactly what it cost you
