arimidex in this cycle?

**thestreaker** · 10-21-2008, 03:42 AM

starting this tomorrow
test prop 50mg ed 1-6
dbol 40mg ed 1-4

stats:
5'8
180
bf-8%

can't decide if i should run adex from the beginning or wait to see if i bloat/gyno. The arimidex i have are 1mg gel caps, which i assume will be a bitch to take halves.

I took letro before and got a bit of acne from it and lost sex drive completely. Arimidex doesn't cause the loss of sexdrive like letro correct?

Why only 6 weeks?

Six weeks isnt really long enough to get the best bang for your buck dude. I would run that for at least 10 weeks and more like 12 weeks. I would also up the dose to 70mg ED. As for the Adex, just keep it on hand in case you get symptoms

if not running an AI from the beginning i still dont understand why one would want to go with an AI when gyno symptoms start when what you need to do is stop the circulating estrogen that is already present from binding to the receptor in the breast...
you start an AI you are stopping some of the test from converting to estrogen but in the meantime your symptoms progress due to the already elevated estrogen.. nolvadex wont lower the estrogen levels but it will keep it from binding to the receptor in the breast which is the issue at that point...

I am about to run the same cycle. would it be better to run the prop EOD at 100mg? insead of ED 50mg? since the half life.

i figured lower dose test would be enough since its my first cycle. besides a couple 2 week cycles of m1t.
My goal is to be able to maintain the gains I make after the cycle...I believe someone would be way more shut down after running a 12 week cycle than a 6 week one. I'll be happy if I can maintain 190 when I'm done. putting on 25 pounds in a 12 week cycle and then losing half once i come off isn't really what I'm looking for.

yeah I agree with you on that mulciber. I think I'm just going to run the adex from the start, don't feel like getting a fat head from bloat.

My idea for pct is just keep running the adex for 3 weeks after cycle. Can anyone tell me a reason why it would be better to do different????

For me prop is probably the best test for someone that doesn't want the bloat...thats just been my personal experience...with that being said..I'd save the adex for signs of gyno and for when the bloat hits..if it hits.
