So the start of my first cycle is fast approaching, still on vacation right now. Still on the fence with the whole AI thing.

Should I use low dose arimidex from the start or not? I really would prefer to avoid both high/low estro sides. I will be getting bloodwork done pre & mid.

Test cyp @ 400mg/week.

Would like to read what people chime in with.
 
Nothing until the bloods come back. Unless you have a history of high E2 you may not need any AI.

I agree, barring crazy obvious sides. Aim to use as little in the way of ancillaries as possible lest you end up in a spiral of taking more drugs to fix all the problems being caused the previous drugs. (Seems western medicine is 80% all about this).

Maybe you will be one of the lucky one who will never need any. Have some on hand anyways (it's cheap insurance), would be a big clusterfuck if your nipples blow up and you have to scramble for some in the middle of a shortage or postal strike or something.

I and many others prefer Aromasin for a few different reasons, easier on my lipid values being the main one, read up on the differences.

From what I've read... that seems high no?

Seems like the standard is around 1mg Adex/100mg Test/week as a good staring point. As noted everyones reaction is going to be different. With Adex a small percentage of guys appear to over respond to it for some reason and it drives Estro too low, wise move to get bloods as you are.

The higher your bodyfat the more likely you are to have high Estro too
 
Thanks for the help guys.

Not expecting any estro issues... no history of gyno etc and bodyfat is "fairly" low.
 
I have never taken any AI unless needed. If I get a nip flare, which is rare, half an Arimidex puts it out.

That said I have various AI on hand that I hope to never use. Be prepaired, as was said above.
 
All ancillaries should be kept on hand, I only use AI when I notice symptoms, otherwise it doesn’t get touched.

For me the first indication of low/high is always my skin, low makes my eczema come out and high makes my skin oily, that’s when I take ai for a day and I’m good for a bit.

From my own personal experience I have used 1mg Adex EOD with 500mg and have been g2g
But again my body isnt yours and may need more or less but I have told this to a few guys who have had success with this method
I get bloods tested and its in a decent range still

Then one time I hired very high profile BB coach who wanted 1mg Adex ED on only 500mg Test E per week
thought was odd lol
 
Im not gyno prone so i barely ever take any. Sometimes when im cutting i will drop a bit in if i feel weight is not coming off as it should
 
At 400 test you may not need very much. I hope you can split you tabs. If your getting mid cycle bloodwork I would go without till then to see where your at

Yeah think I'll go without, that seems to be the general consensus. May just go with 500/week for ease of drawing.
