Is Arimadex hindering my Gains?

[Money]

I am 6 weeks into my cycle with Test 500mg./week, Dbol 40mg./day and Tren 400mg./week.

As usual, I started to feel a bit of a bump and some pain in my left chest about 2 weeks into my cycle.
But this time, I have been taking Arimadex .5mg/day from Day 1.
In the past, I didn't use Arimadex and by 6 weeks in, was getting big and very hard bodied.

Right now, it seems that the Arimadex hasn't held off the gyno (which for me normally goes away after a cycle) and for some reason, I am not getting big or hard bodied. I didn't want to us letro because the big guy would be upset at me for putting him to sleep.

I know that Arimadex is also suppose to increase my Testosterone levels so I am not sure why I am not really seeing much.

I am wondering if Arimadex is hindering my gains?

[xlxBigSexyxlx]

you're running .5mgs everyday??? Yes, Adex can hinder gains.

Also, are you taking anything like caber for the tren prolactin issues?

[Money]

Yes, .5mg/day of Arimadex. How much would it hinder my gains and should I stop
using it?
I am not taking Caber.

In the past, when I was on Tren and Test, I didn't use anything more than Nolva and saw great gains. Of course the Nolva didn't hold the Gyno off too much but made it bearable.

[Sector]

If your taking .5 adex a day then I would definatly think its prolactin from the Tren . From what I know the most people run without worry about hindering gains is .25 ED but ill let somebody more knowledgeable comment on that.

Id look into caber or bromo if you decide its prolactin from the Tren causing the possible gyno.

[Money]

Ok, so what I will do is stop the Arimadex today. I will worry about the gyno later since I don't have caber or letho now. I can always take letho for a couple of weeks after my cycle I guess.
So then the question comes into play, will I start seeing some decent gains anytime soon if I stop the Arimadex now?

What exactly are you expecting? A cycle without e2 control is disaster waiting to happen. Test will increase oestrogen oestrogen will then increase shbg production and bind more test.

[xlxBigSexyxlx]

.5mgs or .25mgs every 3rd day.


just gotta listen to your body.

So what do you suggest?
I want to see some decent hard body gains with cuts but without the gyno.

Gains come from food hard work and not gear the gear will only help a little...

You need ai control and if your not using then you need to monitor e2 I use .25mg eod. And I don't do cycles I am on trt. Everyone is different you need to know that much could baseline so me peoples e2 others it wont be enough. With out labs I can't recommend anything as it is only speculation.

I am taking a-dex right now 1mg eod to keep bloat down but perhaps its to much? Im on tbol and test and Im up almost 10lbs in 3 weeks so I dout its hurting my gains...

[n00bs]

Shit Sounds like alot to me, it is a very powerful drug...

Are you having joint issues? ED.. Ereciton is a good measure of e2 levels are you getting morning 'wood'?

.25mg eod should be enough whats your cycle ??

[asto_86]

Im taking a-dex at .5mg on mon and thursday this first week (3rd week on cycle) and the remaining weeks Ill back it off to .25mg mon and thurs. If the morning woods go.. perhaps Ill try splintering it into .125mg, haha.

[songdog]

Sounds like some people need to do more research b4 they cycle.

I used to take 0.5mg/day of Arimidex , but only when I was running "high-dose" cycles, and my gains were never hindered. I also used proviron , though, to lower SHBG/increase my free test. As someone mentioned on here, if it's a progesterone-based AAS (tren , deca , anadrol ), then you'll need bromo or vitamin B6 to combat the prolactin levels.

Ok, once again, my cycle is in the 6th week
Test 500mg./week,
Dbol 40mg./day (now at 20mg. day since I will come off of Dbol this week)
Tren 400mg./week.

I have run Arimadex from the beginning of this cycle at .5mg./day.
I didn't take Arimadex yesterday and won't take any more this week.
I will now run it at .25mg or .5mg on Mondays and Thursdays starting next week.

My stomach is looking bloated, kind of pregnant looking.

My diet has consisted of eggs, tuna, fish, chicken and a lot of vegetables.
Once a week, I cheat on purpose with a Pizza or something nice from a restaurant.

In the past, when I ran Test and Tren, I would run Nolvadex and Clomid one week after starting. At that time, I was seeing better results. Would get a bit of hardness and pain below my left nipple during the cycle but it always goes away after my cycle.

Very simply, I want to get the fat off, put on the size and muscle and don't want the gyno.

[Money]

I would like to get some more imput from those of you with a bit more experience here.

I just don't get it because in the past, I saw a huge difference using Test. Enan. and Tren Enan. by the 6th week. By that time, I was a monster in the gym, very agressive and had a totally different physique. Now I have just ended my 6th week and I am not at all confident with what I am seeing.

Eat more? If your pumping shit into you it will be working.. Only thing I can think of is you are holding cAlories off in an attempt to get leaner and grow... You won't grownifnyou
Don't eat. I dontknowmyou
And I dot know your diet
Or training but if your using and eating everything and working out properly then you are destined for growth.

1 of the 3 are out..

[Money]

I am not holding the calories off. From morning, I start with a few boiled egg whites, yogurt with kiwi and a banana. As soon as I am at work, I am sipping on the protein drink. Lunch is usually egg whites with salad, tuna and/or chicken breast, sip on protein thoughout the day and slip in a few egg whites then the same with dinner.

I have gone through this cycle a few times before with amazing results.
On your next question probably, yes my gear is fine. It is from the same source
that I have bought from for 10 years now.

The only difference of anything this time is that I was using Arimadex and HGH. I stopped the Arimadex and will start taking it at .25mg. on Monday and Fridays from
next week.

Plus, my stomach is really bloated this time.

[n00bs]

You diet is shot if that is what you are eating you answered your own question. Re evaluate come up with a proper diet and you will gain.

Where is the essential fats, eat whole eggs I don't know why people throw the best part of the egg out.

[asto_86]

Id toss that cheat meal too if you are serious about performance. You wont crave a cheat if you are eating right..
