To Nolva or not

There are a school of thought that says we should take Nolva only when one feels an occurance of gyno and that taking Nolva during cycle may diminish the effect of roids.

Another school suggests taking Nolva 10mg/ed during cycle is mandatory.

Since the first option is cheaper, what do you all think is better? More gain or less risk? Besides, roids is risk by itself anyway.

it is always good to have on hand... I personally do not run it throughout cycles, but I know that I am less prone to gyno than most... you are safer to be caucious, but nolva will dimenish some of the effects of your juice... mainly water retention.

I suppose I don't need so much water retention. But will Nolva diminish androgenic effect, like weight(muscle) gain and strength gain?

I think just water retention, Ive been on nolva 20mg a day on 8 week cycle only gained 13 pounds but its all solid, I dont look like a balloon. Maybe if I had no nolva id be up 25 lbs but all bloated

No. Personally i would run nolva with every cycle just incase. 10-20mg every day.

i was under the assumption that it does lessen your gains.. i think the baron said you need a little estrogen. correct me if im wrong
