Yes, I believe that the "set point" is altered by either of two things. First is just cell damage, inability to function as a result of aging or from atrophy induced by AAS. Second is I think that the body "keeps track" of circulating androgens. The counter for this.. Erm, maybe the prostate?

With this I believe you can speed up the "hormonal age" by altering the set point so that ones hormonal age is different than that of actual age. Kind of what you would see in a dark_sideld. As growth plates are exposed to androgens they close and the process of aging is developed in the body.

This is congruent with why men of certain origin which have a higher 5AR activity are shown to decrease in testosterone at an earlier age; while having a very high testosterone level during early adulthood.

Anyway I will further my explanations tomorrow I have to sleep now..

I said that the medical doesn’t affect muscle building in a negative way.

Yes, I thought of some more too but lets start with those

Yes, I know it’s just your personal theory.

How would you explain the "fixed" point changing through out life? Could you also touch on the other questions posed please. Again, I understand it is theory. I have my own and would like to hear yours.

Very true, there is a lot of misinformation given when people are advised, you can debate if it is justified to give the wrong information to deter a young kid from making a bad decision. Then again do the people that advise this have any background information to make these statements. I wouldn’t advise anybody to cycle if they are not willing to sacrifice their HPTA for it. Below the age of 23, I don’t think the brain has matured enough to make that decision. I don’t think it is right either to use supraphysiological doses of androgens to adark_sideeve a body which is adark_sideevable naturally.. Just my 2ў, call it food for thought!

The HPTA is more resilient at a younger age from what the bros say!!

Asiandude do you mind furthering your theory on the thermostat HPTA? What do you think happens to decrease levels after cycles? How does the body keep track with age? Do you alter "hormonal age" with steroids ?
