Are certain types of people more inclined towards gyno?

Exactly. Get blood work done and check out your natural E levels and take into account your relative bf% and you can roughly guestimate your tendency towards it. higher bf% = more E receptors, higher E = more likely to have trouble w/ the same degree of aromatose that wouldn't affect a person w/ lower levels.
And 70% of teen males suffer from some degree of gyno.

Heh, yeah I remember my brother had gyno when he was about 15. 
By the sound of it, I would be very likely to get it if I were to take steroids.
How can you go about limiting estrogen? I'd like to attempt it even without the use of juice.

Hows the bodyfat? Keeping your doses realistic and not going overboard will be your biggest assistant. Keep the Nolvadex on hand, some people even use Clomid but I'm not sure that really 'works' with high test levels. If gyno is a-commin, you will get some kind of sensation in the nipple area, some decribe it as itching, either way, you WILL know if its coming, you will get some kind of stimulation in the area.
Side effects get worse as the doses start to get out of hand, so if this is a first cycle, be realistic about it. There is such a thing as deca gyno also, and so far as I recall there is nothing you can do about it other than stop taking it and hope for the best.
So far as I know, the estrogen blockers that are legal cannot compare to the illegal stuff (legal in some circumstances). Further, just like you can't take test forever without estrogen levels raising, you can't limit estrogen levels forever without the body likewise compensating for what you are doing, as the body wants homeostatis, this is why it is hard to put on muscle and is why you can't take magic drugs without breaks or many tricks, and risking permanent disfunction. Plus alot of the anti-estrogen stuff gets people depressed, the "clomid blues" is something you will find posts about now and again, when men are on clomid, the women are happy.
So, even with estrogen blocking attempts, you'd have to cycle that as well. Clomid by the way is actually a weak estrogen, which works by binding to stronger estrogen in males, therefore 'blocking' it or weakening it, however in women its an estrogen booster, used for women with fertility problems.

Thanks for the info Mudge.
I'm not sure what my bodyfat % is as I have no means to test it. I'm pretty thin overall but I have some fat deposits on my butt and gut (just like a woman
) From what I've heard, my guess is that I'm appoximately 18% bodyfat.
Is red nipples a sign of gyno? I took tribulus for a while (before I concluded that it's useless), and I've read that it can increase estradiol levels along with any potential testosterone increase, and while I was on it I noticed my nipples were slightly red.
BTW, what age is it relatively safe to start using these testosterone and estrogen blocking supplements?

Once your done growing, which I'd say is 21 or so. I could be wrong but alot of 18 year olds dont look like the shoulders etc are done filling out. For the legal supplements, it seems like you really have to up the dose alot, making cycles fairly expensive IMO, more than the illegal stuff in fact.
Red nipples, dunno about that. It should be an internal irritation not a skin thing, because you will be building up a small lump underneath the nipple. So if your nipples stick out a bit, it could possibly be a gyno thing, or just natural fatty deposits. If you didn't really get results from the product you used, I dont think I'd blame gyno on it, unless your diet was just really poor. If this only occured while you were on it, and went away after though, hmm, sounds interesting. Any time you use a test booster, estrogen will naturally raise along with it, thats why you cycle the stuff. The legal cycles are 4 weeks long and then you run the natural test recouperation cycles, and so on.
It sounds like the cycles are only 4 weeks due to the poorer recoup abilities on legal supplements, who knows though.

Color of nips is genetic unless caused by abrasion. Gyno causes them to itch and ach like sh!t and then the swelling starts. I've never had detectable gyno... thank God... but if your nat. E levels are high enough, you can get a script for the same anti-Es that we bums get illegally. I'm actually about to do that... amazing what it does to E levels to take a blood test on clomid (an artificial estrogen).

i would just like to say about 90% of the bodybuilders on the net are either hypocondiacs about gyno or worry to much about it. Keep a reasonable anti e on hand remember there are differnt kinds that do differnt things progesterone related gyno and estrogen related gyno are differnt
I'd rather worry too much than not enough
