    nolva and loss of gains

    is it true that if you take 20 mgs of nolvadex throughout your whole cycle you will not achieve maximum gains. ive heard that it doesnt effect gains, and ive also heard that it does. IMO i think the reason why people say it does effect gains is because it reduces water bloat.

    I have to say nolav always, depending on your cycle 10mg ed may be sufficient. Th eon ly gains you may lose will be in your breats.SG1

    The amount of nolva needed is usually deepened on the amount of testosterone is going to aromatize. 10mg is usually good up to test dosages up to 600mg IMO................. I like to use .25 l-dex and nolva through my cycles........... It takes care of estrogen sides that may show up and I keep a healthier lipid profile.

    Anti-e's will not hinder your gains at all............. the only hindering you see is bloat......... I hate it when I bloat so I could care less about that loss.......... and even if there was a possibility of some hindering of gains while using anti-e's....... the benifits of their uses out weigh not using them JMO

    I Have Ran Test Cycles Both With And With Out Nolva And Like Themudman Said The Only Diff. I Noticed Is The Water Bloat. D

    It depends on the amount of test being used............... but you can use 10mg of nolva and if you start seeing estrogen related signs then bump it to 20mg

    This debate will go on forever.......... but I will take the benifits of using anti-e's over not and maybe getting gyno............. IMO just not worth the risk

    If you are prone to gyno the I would add l-dex or femera (strongest) to your cycle and also use nolva. This way you have all area covered

    Exactly! And this comment alone should settle it IMO, period.

    I started a Sustanon 250/Deca cycle this week. I am already experiencing sensitivity in my left nip. I am predisposed to gyno, and I knew this going into the cycle. Ever had your nipples twisted in high school by upperclassmen? Thanks Doug S. for the gift that keeps on giving - 15 years later...

    I opted for better gains acknowledging the added risk, so I'm not sweating it. I am taking Proviron 25mg 2 times daily and 20 mg Nolvadex in the AM. I have injected 2ml Sustanon (3 injections) and only 1ml Deca. That being said, I'm open to trying Femera, Teslac or whatever. What's I-dex, MudMan?

    Logistically, though, its best if I give the Proviron/Nolvadex a chance to start working. I'm pretty far down the road at this point.

    Anyway - my thought would be to take it the whole time, but I guy a train with has never experienced a slight inclination toward gyno - w/o anti-e's.
