Necessity of AI during 1st weeks

[BluPhin]

Is it really necessary to take an AI during the first four weeks of a test e only cycle. It seems to be widely held that test e takes about 3-5 weeks to manifest strength and muscle gains. Based on my own experience, it took me about 30 days on test c cycle to realize gains. Why then is AI required during this dormant stage of long ester tests?

It's not. Cycle planning from others is a guideline. If, from your own experience, you don't feel you need an ai during the fist few weeks them by all means, adjust. Some people aromatize easier than others. I'm not particularly sensitive to it myself. Even on test doses over 1g I only take an ai as needed.

It's best to take it from week 1. If you don't make any gains the 1st few weeks, doesn't mean that test is not aromatizing.
It's better to prevent the problems than to treat them.

Also agree. Problem is the symptoms may not be evident immediately. They can creep up on you and suddenly you're in recovery mode instead of preventative mode.

Well from my personal experience I got bloated as hell for the first two weeks without taking an ai on test e... after I started taking .5mg arimidex eod the bloat went away and I felt much better

Gyno is not the only problem from high E. Don't use that as your only gauge. Some people will never get gyno but it does not mean their E isn't through the roof and causing other insidious problems.

Great answer Dexter.
