Is Nolva really not the way to go anymore?

[mustang331]

I always had that, "Keep Nolva on hand just in case" Attitude.. And after reading more, I guess the new thing is Aromatase Inhibitors..

Letro being the big thing.. But what I read is Letro is extremely strong and so effective it could actually reverse gyno..

Some people never have to worry about Estrogen levels effecting them.. Personally I don't know how I will be effected, but I'm doing a Test E cycle only @ 500mg a week (250x2)

with Nolva on hand and enough for PCT along with Clomid..

My main concern is this..

I'm reading that Nolva can actually make things worse.
And I want to try to avoid any water weight/bloat as possible..

I'm drinking 1.5 gallons of water a day and trying to keep sodium down as best as possible...

What do you guys think?

A. Whats the best way at keeping bloat to a min.
B. Whats your thoughts on Nolva for both PCT and during the cycle?

THANKS!

ai shoudl be used during cycle and nolva should be used as a pct. THey are different compounds. one stops aromitzation and the other blocks estrogen completly. Nolva can inhibit gains if used during cycle

I think these days the AI's are the way to go. For years though my team had always used the NOLVADEX/PROVIRON combo as our gyno weapons and they served us well.

My two concerns as I mentioned are really it..

So Brad, Ai's during cycle (Only if needed, correct)

What about Anastrozole for bloat?

Honestly, I'd like to just do the test E, and if the bloat gets bad, take the Anastrozole, if I start to get Gyno issues, take the AI's

Nolva/Clomid for PCT

Hows that sound?

[Lemonada8]

Lol.

U take a ai for acne boating sides and take a serm for gyno.
Ai's use should be avoided if possible with adjusting doses and such. Or special circumstances call for it.

Boating and water weight is mainly diet, and a lil due to the ester on test.

Nolva during cycle and pct is fine.

Either is fine. An AI will lower the amount of estro so it best if you are having symptoms from high estro. Nolva will prevent or stop gyno but not reduce estro levels. Estro is good in moderation. If you are concerned about bloat then check you diet and make sure you are taking in enough water.

Nolva is said to decrease igf levels which wouldn't be good during a cycle but will it really effect your gains? I really doubt it.

This is all opinion so take it for what it's worth.
