Why is it important to run an AI when on cycle?

**GearHeaded** · 11-08-2018, 08:59 PM

I find it a bit humurous when guys use the logic that estrogen should be kept in 'normal' range because high levels of it 'might' have negative health consequences... yet they are taking drugs that put their androgen levels at astronomically high levels, and taking drugs at 20 times the recommend dosages in an attempt to build muscle and putting a whole host of things at super high levels .

yet somehow in spite of all those 'high levels' of shit from the steroids they are running , scary scary deadly estrogen at above normal range is somehow the only thing that really matters. go ahead and blast androgen levels off the charts for 20 years and you'll be fine, but somehow if you let estrogen creep up just a wee little bit your going to get cancer, heart disease, and everything else under the sun.

This is especially true when people run TRT dose test along with say tren , eq and take AI.
Estrogen is an important hormone, it is anabolic effects are well studied. It helps you to have higher levels of HDL too.
I would only run that much AI with a cut cycle if I want to really dry out. No need to hinder your gains while bulking.
Not including the people that are gyno prone or with higher estrogen sensitivity, though low dose nolva throughout cycle will solve that.

When ever I get any sort of negative "feelings" (loneliness, missing an ex, etc). I pop an adex and I'm good for about 3 days. You trying to tell me this is a bad thing?

this is likely a placebo effect .

couple of things of note here
- for one you would have to have a direct correlation between those 'negative feelings' and estrogen (meaning E is definitely the cause). which would be extremely hard to do. its generally low estrogen that causes depression and mood issues
- The way Arimidex works one pill is not going to accomplish much. it takes a steady dose and elevated blood levels of the drug to consistently stop the aromatizing of test into estrogen
- Arimidex does NOT lower your existing blood levels of estrogen. you can't take an Adex and its going to magically lower your existing estrogen levels. All adex does is block the aromatase enzyme from turning the test your taking/making into estrogen in the first place. it does not lower it after the fact. your elevated levels of estrogen have to come down on their own naturally, no AI is going to lower them itself, and especially not in a day from taking one pill.

High estrogen... Female like emotions... It was a bad joke, I apologise.
I do appreciate you taking the time to try and educate me. We do frequently get posts like that where people are being serious and just don't know.
This just means we need to get to know each other better GH!

I don’t mean using an AI is a bad thing. Its just like taking a painkiller when you don’t have a headache. It is beneficial to use an AI when using high dosages of test but not when running TRT doses. It will just hinder your gains and screw your blood lipids.
What GH means here is having a little higher E2 is not a problem but beneficial. Of course having it sky high would make you feel and bloat like shit in the long term especially if you are estrosensitive.
I understand and appreciate your joke, just wanted to let the ideas in my brain flow into here so that the people new here can learn something.
GH is a cow, very muscular one, we had better milk him as much as possible. I would love to steal few books from the library he has in his brain!

So anyway im pretty sure this thread is about the prudence of using an ai on cycle ...not where u get them. Might be wise to keep such a great ,informative thread on topic.

Which section show these board sponsors?

Thanks for the reply. I know we can't ask for sources so I hope my next statement doesn't break any rules. I already have a source but I wanted some aromasin before I start my cycle so I ordered from RUI. I assume they are still legit.
