Arimidex on cycle Question

**joe8386** · 06-09-2012, 09:10 AM

I'm one week into a 10 week cycle of test-e 250mg twice per week. Looking to put on some mass since I'm on the lean side . I've read alot of different opinions on this. I have plenty of arimidex to run it on cycle. Was wondering.

1. Does taking arimidex on cycle hinder your gains, if so by alot?

2. Debating between using .25mg eod or .25mg every 3 days. If read pro's and con's to both

This is my first aas cycle and would like to use this as a prevention for any gyno symptoms but don't want this to hinder any lean weight gain.

Currently 185lbs , 24 years old, 12% body fat, taking in 3200-3500 pretty clean calories. My diet and training is top notch, Former undereater/overtrainer

yes you should use it.
Keeping your estrogen in the normal range will not hinder gains.
There is no pro's and cons to doing it eod or every 3rd day. You need to take the dose your require. That varies buy person.
I would start at .25mg eod and adjust as needed from there.

It has a 46 hr half life. ^^Agree with gixxer. Pull some blood and see where your at in a little while.

Thanks alot I appreciate it. Also I'm not using any hcg or anything. Doing research it didnt seem to be a neccesity. Do you think thats fine not doing that for my cycle

Expect to see your nuts shrink up. When you include HCG it makes recovery/PCT a whole lot smoother, it is highly recommended.

Ah I should of looked more into that. I missed the boat on that then. Even if i ordered it would get it for 4 weeks or so and would be in my 6th week of a 10 week cycle.

I'm my opinion, people think using an AI hinders lean muscle gains, when it limits water retention so you don't get the extra pounds from water, you might not see as much on the scale but the leans gains are there.
