Thread: Aromasin for Arimidex during cycle

adex is my ai of choice for any test based cycle, however i only use it if req on higher dose cycles 1g +. Are you prone to estro sides?

Adex for me on all test cycle even on cruise, used aromasin but prefer adex.

Not too sure, first cycle so want to take all precautions.

i never like to use an ai unless necessary as i feel unnecessary use of ais hinder gains, don't ask me for the science on this, only from my own experience. If you are concerned and want to run it i would start at 0.25mg eod.

I would use a low dose anyway (this won't hinder gains) as you know, it has too many benefits not to use it, here's just a few.
There are many negative effects of high estrogen levels, gyno being just one.
Estrogen is also extremely suppressive to HPTA function.
It is also what causes so called "test flu".
It lowers TBG causing excessive bloating.
Estrogen raises SHBG, so less free test.
It is now believed that high estrogen in a causative factor in BPH.
High estrogen levels can decrease libido and sperm count.
0.5mg 2 x wk is a good place to start.

agreed, but low estro can be just as bad as high. Its very hard to get the balance right for any individual as everyone responds differently to any given compound. I always like to have an ai to hand and introduce slowly if req.

is that you in your avi mate? looking v.good for natty.

I remember you putting up your bloods a few weeks back and that you already had very low hdl(good cholesterol) . So you may want to think carefuly about running Arimidex unless you really need to. As I have read in quite a few places that it significantly lowers hdl.

If your cholesterol is still as it was. I personally would keep some Nolva and an AI on hand. I would use the Nolva to fight any gyno flares, once the Nolva had taken care of that , I would run an AI for the rest of the cycle. If no signs of gyno I would run neither.
Also if possible I would run hcg at 250-500 iu every 3 days or so, that will definately have a positive effect on ease of recovery.

This is just the way I would go, not saying it is definately the best way.

It may be worth doing some research on Aromasin also, as I`m sure I have seen some info saying it is easier on lipid profiles.

IMO the best thing you can do when making decisions like this is seek out as much info from as many different places as possible, before deciding what makes most sense for you.

agree with mars mate. done exact same thing i have had no issue is good to see you planing things out

I find that it's fairly easy to get the balance right and so do all the guys that i train/advise, thats why i always say start low, IE: 0.5mg 2 x week, iv'e never had my clients have low estrogen issues using that dose even on cruise @ 250mg week.

That may be so. But did you have a poor cholsterol profile before you started?? How does your current profile compare to what it was??

I`m not saying it is never a good idea to run an AI. But if you are in the position to know that you already have a low hdl score(flagged up as "abnormal"), why take something that is in all likelihood going to make it worse, when you may not need to??
