Question for Bryan from a bodybuilder

[phish]

Im currently on 1.25 mg of finasteride, I was wondering since I have naturaly high level of test because im 225-240 naturally and lift heavy 5 days a week, that for someone with test so high that finasteride is just not for me. Compare my natural test levels to someone that is 155lbs on finasteride and they use 1.25mg of finasteride. Shouldn't someone my size with higher test need dutasteride to combat the excessive dht still not being blocked because my test levels are high not due to steroids but simply from just being big. Or is it the same for everyone regardless of their test level finasteride will block 85-90 percent of type 2 dht. Thanks

Yeah ive thought about this too. I have alot more muscle mass than the average guy also, although i dont weigh alot atm as im quite lean right now (180 pounds 7-8% BF) But I think a really big guy who is working out alot would have ALOT more testosterone floating in his system and would need alot more than the prescribed 1mg of Finasteride. Its common sense to me. Its like taking down a dog with a tranquilizer then trying to take down an elephant with the same dosage. Not just gonna happen. I dont think its a question of using dutasteride (although that might help) I think it might be a question of dosage. Maybe a bigger guy needs to take more like 2mg of finasteride to combat the DHT. I really don't know im just throwing ideas out there. Anyone else got info on this?

problem with all of this is the relative flat dose response of finasteride. the level of surpressed dht on 0,2mg doesn't really differ that much from as much as 5mg.
