Arimidex half way through the cycle?

[adriano]

Hi everybody, and thanks for the wealth of information you guys share in here!
I've been reading the forum for the past 6 months so to gain enough knowledge to run my first cycle.

A bit about me:
39 y.o.
5'10
14% body fat
I've been training for more than 15 years, so it's fair to say I've reached my genetic limits a long while ago, however I was always skeptic of steroids .

So as I said, I spent the past 6 months reading, investigating and asking friends who have done before and, to my surprise, each person tells me a different thing about cycles. So I decided to proceed with the one I found the most popular in here:

Test E only cycle
250mg every 3.5d for 12 weeks
HCG from week 3 to the last pin of Test E

Nolva and Clomid for PCT

However, it seems to me that the use of an AI such Arimidex is something some people recommend, whilst some others say it's not necessary.

So my question to you legends is: I'm on week four of Test E + Hcg. Do I need AI? And if so, is it ok to start with it now?

I don't have any signs of gyno. I wake up with a boner, and go to bed with a boner. No massive gains yet (~2kg)

Thank you very much,

Adri

Yes, start your AI immediately. Arimidex 0.25mg EOD.

Unless you want the estrogen level of a female, potential loss of libido, maybe BPH, gyno and the list can go on, start your adex immediately. Just because you don't always see or feel a side doesn't mean you don't have them. In other words, put your seat belt on before the accident, not after.

Thank you so much, guys.
Do I need to take a higher dose for a start since it's been 4 weeks since I started?

Just start as advised. It'll balance out soon enough.

Get a blood test and let that determine what you do or don't need

Taking something just because someone says too could be just as bad as it taking somethings because you don't feel you need too

Let the blood decide, we all are different and process chemicals in our bodies differently

Agree with kekel, doing first cycle and didn't use AI and how no symptoms until nips became sensitive, took on week for so far no problem

There were a ton of emply seats at the GU / LMU game. Not something we at GU are used to seeing.

Was there a reason for that ??
