Ok, as of now my experience points to fat being correlated with estrogens, taht could change though . Haidut himself said such high T levels were not recommended because of the tendency to turn into estrogens the higher you go, he had incredible libido which could go well with high estrogens too.Yes, I'm working on all of those.
Half of those sups are to support the higher doses of caffeine (Niac, Asp, Thiam, Vitamins), but the dht/pansterone/tyromix were a short experiment based on my suspicions about high estrogen.
The caffeine has done wonders for my ability to store glycogen, but my biggest challenge has always been getting enough calories without too much liquid as I'm extremely active, which has made it very difficult to go low fat without a stress response. I tried cypro, but it really dulls the world, so I only use it in emergency situations.
As my glycogen stores improved with high-dose caffeine + K2, it allowed me to eat 3500-4000 calories per day without having to resort to ice cream, so I'm currently working on lowering the fat.
The main problem with caffeine is that it ramps up metabolism quickly releasing ffas which can wreak havoc if not limited. So the caffeine can continue to work its magic, but without cutting out fat (pufa), it appears to be a viscous cycle (at least short term).
After reading through a few more threads last night, I'm just not buying the low-estrogen theory, especially given Haidut's high-T protocol where he claimed to see no symptoms of low-E.

Looks like all of this hinges on liver-health, so I'll just have to bite the bullet and cut fat down to 10%. Cheers!
I have experienced the so called "low estrogens/low cortisol" issues a few times, white button mushrooms in big doses can do it as well (over two or three days), I don't know if the issues arise directly from low estrogens or cortisol but I do think the latter at least trigger whatever negative stuff happens in the body, too many anecdotical feedback and different substances have done this.
Low-fat + no or low starch is a burden for sure.
