Frustrated with Arimidex dosing

[Wayacrucis]

I'm currently on 400mg Test prop EW. I've been cutting for about 8 weeks now. I first started taking 0.25 Adex EOD, barely noticed any changes in bloat. After I upped my dose to 0.5 EOD, dropped a decent amount of water but still had some bloat. So I upped my dose to 0.5 ED for about 2 days and all the water retention from my abdominal and face subsided. Though on my 3rd day of adminstrating 0.5 ED I experienced severe fatigue and I noticed my joints seem to crack a lot more. So obivously I had lowered my estrogen way too much.

So I decided to drop the dose to 0.5 EOD and now the water retention is back....what would you guys recommend.

do you have liquid or pills?

[Flier]

I assume u drink 1-2 gallons ED?

So you have some water retention......which will go away after your cycle.
Drying yourself up will hinder your gains.

I have liquid arimidex.

I did a 8 week bulker, cruised for 2 weeks, and I've been cutting for 8 weeks and I have 2 weeks remaining. This is a 20 week cycle. I have no intentions of gaining atm, just trying to get to about 9% BF before PCT. I drink about 5L of water ED. My stack is 100mg Prop EOD, with 80mcg clen ED. 35 mins Empty stomach cardio (low intensity), 35 mins cardio at night (medium intensity )

since you have liquid you can try a dose in the middle. You dont have to stick with .25 or .50. if .5 ed was to much try .35.

Due to the half life of the drug 1mg EOD would be no different as ooposed to 0.5ED right/

I have liquid arimidex.

Here are the forearms after back day..from a couple days ago. I'll have full bodyshots in 2 weeks. Its so stupid I'm lean and vascular all over...but a thick layer of water is blocking my abs and making my cheeks look puffy .

[Flier]

Damn...
Looking forward to see the full bodyshots!!
What´s your stats?

[Pac Man]

Those arms look way under 9%
ADex is a bitch for dosing, I just play around with it till I got the right dosage. Seems to be slightly different each cycle.

Standard dosing is .25mg ED or .5mg EOD

I wouldn't recommend higher doses than that, it would be a waste.

If your arguement to prove the above point is that the study on steroid.com on adex's profile showed that 0.5mg and 1mg arimidex reduced estrogen by roughly the same amount - consider this, the men on that study are not on AAS. Unless you believe that men on AAS that aromaitize and men that are not on AAS have the same estrogen level lol.

Ok, well .25ED worked fine as an anti-E and kept water weight down somewhat.

I wasn't argueing. What I meant by it being a waste is that taking it in a much higher dose, that potentially has the same anti-E power would be much more expensive. Adex is expensive, when you double or triple the dose, you will be doubling or tripleing the cost. The double-tripled cost outweighs the little effect that increased dosing has to me.

I recommend saving the money and living with a little bloat. It's not like the bloat will remain after the cut cycle.

Hey Waya, the cracking joints feel freaken weird huh? I had that once so bad that every step I took had my knees cracking, felt so weird. I figured out what was causing it and then it went away.

use what you need. If your going to nickle and dime your doses and cycle you shouldnt run a cycle

Not nickel and diming.

If a certain amount gets rid of the E (main purpose of it in the first place) and some bloat = good enough. Arimidex wasn't designed to be a water retention tablet, that's just an extra benefit. I wouldn't recommend anyone to up the dose just for water retention reduction.

If he is extremely unsatisfied about the water retention, then he should drink more water, eat more foods high in potassium, and reduce sodium intake to a bare minimum. If it STILL hasn't gone away, then take some water retention specific tablets in conjunction with the arimidex.

How much salt is in your diet anyway waya? You also need to drink a ton of water (although it would seem this would have the opposite effect it actually reduces water retention). Your body tends to retain more water when dehydrated. Hopefull you're drinking enough water during your workout and not solely protein mixes.

To be honest bro the cracking joints does feel weird but it isn't too bad. My main side when estrogen gets too low is that I'll get a nice 7-8 hour sleep and 4-5 hours into the next day I'll be so ridiculously fatigued that I'll pass out for 3-4 hours right in the middle of the day.
