For the ones who used arimidex during cycle

**bossman_1986** · 12-12-2006, 12:22 AM

If u've used arimidex the whole cycle from the start to the end, what were your gains like?? How much weight did u gain?? Strength??

I just got gyno surgery and i dont wanna get it again but i dont know if i should wait til i see symptoms or if i should just start right from the start.

And im concerned about the reduceness of gains from using arimidex

I use it every cycle that includes a 19nor. Have had no problems but all of my cycles have only been moderate in terms of gains.

If you are gyno prone I would use throughout cycle. I would think its better to slow your gains rather than having gyno.

im on my first cycle and used it all the way at .25, i upped it to 1mg for a couple weeks cuz i was paranoid but i doubt i use it again. i think majority are to paranoid about gyno im going to jus keep stuff on hand. but gains and strength were as good as they could have been.

I'd be more concerned about a recurrence of gyno than how much I might lose in gains. I'd use .25mg ed right from the start. You'll need some estrogen and don't want to get rid of all of it like with letro. With l-dex you'll keep enough estrogen to support your gains. If I were you I would probably look at doing 10mg ed of nolva right from the start as well.

If you start feeling gyno symptoms you can increase dosages temporarily until gyno symptoms clear, or get some letro to have on hand.

from what i hear a-dex doesn't really hinder gains,well if u consider bloat gains.it reduces estrogen by 50%,so u still have estrogen around just not so much bloat

water bloat does help with gains

.5 mg ed here. wouldn't go without it. mine is script. if i forget it, don't feel gyno but definately get real moody. yea...like a girl...

Arimidex or any other aromatase inhibitor not only help keep gyno away, but if your estrogen levels get too high it can effect your libido. So for that reason alone I use it, and the gains were fine. I also felt less bloated when I took Arimidex.

how much weight did u gain when u used arimidex during your cycle

**Hard Head** · 12-13-2006, 08:27 AM

I'm not sure I understand what you got done here bro. You got gyno surgury but you didn't have the glands removed? That was kind of a waste don't you think?

Adex taken 1mg ed will kill your libido unless you are over 1g of T a week, just like letro does. Real adex is strong, you might consider .25mg ed IF you need it. Adex won't help with progesterone related gyno, no deca or tren for you my friend.

Good luck to you.

I have used arimidex at .25mg ed and it worked well. I have used it throughout cycle and no gyno problems.

**Maldorf** · 12-14-2006, 11:13 PM

Im taking 1.5mg/day of arimidex and gained 15 pounds in my first 2 weeks of my cycle. It never really hampers me at all. Im on a fairly heavy cycle though.

I just ended a 12 week, 400 test e/200 deca cycle. I also ran 0.5 eod of adex. No bloating. No itchy nips. Gained about 20# and kept about 17 with a point or two less of bodyfat than when I started.

You might have done better without the AI at all.

damn you kept 17lbs....thats pretty sweet. what kind of pct did you run??

I am going to be taking around .25-.50 of arimidex ed on my cycle of 500mg/wk of test c for 12wks and Im just trying to figure out what the BEST POSSIBLE PCT i should run for that...Thanks for the info

I used Ldex for the first time on my last cycle. I had marijuana-induced gyno in the early 70's, and have been concerned ever since when I juice. I usually get sore nipples 3 weeks in to any cycle. The last one looked like this:

Planned:
Week 1-4 Anavar 80 mg./day
Week 1-16 TE 750 mg./week
Week 2-14 Deca 600 mg./week
Week 12-16 Halo 40 mg / day, increase/ramp up to 80 mg/day in last week
Ldex .5 mg EOD

I gained 33 pounds in 12 weeks and had to switch in mid cycle (I participate in wieght controlled sport) to:
Week 12 - 16 Tren A 100 mg ED
Week 12 - 16 Prop 100 mg ED
Halo as above, Ldex as above
Calorie restriction and cardio and sodium loading and sauna

At the end I still had 20 pounds of solid meat that I didn't have before. The arimidex did not stop or slow my gains at all.

DISCLAIMER: I was working out like a madman and eating like a pig. YMMV, expecially if you don't squat, bench, and deadlift hard, hard, hard five times a week.
