Arimidex isn't always enough. At least...
For me. Flame me for this, yell at me for this, do what you please, but I will tell you why.
I must be the most gyno sensitive person that has ever taken AAS in the history of the universe.
Last cycle, I took 500mg sust, and 400mg eq with .5mg Ldex ed, gyno symptoms started at week 4 and I had to cut the cycle short at 7 because I just did not want to be bigger than Pamela before her surgery.:D Well, that and I accomplished my goal what I set out from the very beginning.
This cycle I said to myself "Ok PumP, maybe try 400mg of enanthate this run, and see if that makes a difference." Also this cycle, I took .5mg Ldex ed AND 5mg nolva ed from day 1. Well, 4 weeks in....I wake up this morning, and what do I feel???:unsure:
A motherf*cking sore right nipple!http://ks.gamerzparadize.com/smileys/mad/splat.gif
So today I started 40mg of nolva and will continue this for a few days until symptoms go away. But gosh damn! I wanted to use test as a base in every cycle, but it looks like I will be limited to non-androgenic steroids. ie: EQ, Fina(although prog. is something I have never dealed with), Oxandrolone, Winny, Primo, and about 5-6 years from now...growth.
I will continue with the test for another week or two, AS LONG AS my symptoms go away, just so I can a little out of it.
I probably will use slin in my bulkers from now on so I can at least get some size whilst using only anabolics.
So in conclusion, if I were you, I would get nolvadex regardless if you use arimidex from day one or not. What if your estrogen receptors are as garbage as mine are? I wouldn't take the chance.
