Clomid, the big lie?


Hey bro's, I just found this on AR. It is very interesting, I will keep everyone updated.

CLOMID - THE BIG LIE
Like everyone else who has ever read a single book (or every book for that matter) on the proper use of anabolics, I usually included a course of Clomid after each cycle. It was the responsible thing to do. So they say. There was just one little problem with this procedure. It seemed to make the recovery and the return of libido, testicular size, sperm count, seminal volume and normal testosterone levels worse. How can this be? Maybe I was just a weird exception to the rule. One doctor suggested I might have some bizarre feedback loop that gave the drug its negative effects. Maybe I was crazy. Maybe not.

The simple truth of the matter is this: the thinking on Clomid is based on some very sketchy evidence which has been parroted endlessly among the bodybuilding community. In a way, I'm at fault myself. Allow me to explain.

A few years back, I co-wrote an article with Brock Strasser called "The Steroid Summit." In that piece, I mentioned Clomid and ejaculate volume. Where I was going with this was the fact that I noticed a definite decrease in ejaculate volume and this would indicate that Clomid wasn't doing what it was supposed to do. Brock replied "Oh yeah, Clomid will definitely increase ejaculate" and he went on to say how male porn stars are using it to enhance their "bursts of drama" so to speak. We were tackling a lot of topics and I didn't want to dispute his contention so I let it go. At any rate, wouldn't you know... the rumor about porn stars and Clomid ran rampant. I started hearing it everywhere, even in places unassociated with bodybuilding.

This shows how completely ignorant NM is. He claims that "sketchy" evidence surrounding clomid had been parroted ad infinitum by and to the bodybuilding community. And he's here to debunk all the evidence and studies done which one can search on medline about the effectiveness of clomid.

This article of his is nothing but a vehicle to perpetuate a rumour that clomid is ineffective in hopes that people will parrot what he had written.

Give these people a little more credit Mr. Nelson Montana they are far more intelligent than that.
