Arimidex during the cycle

[BulkCity]

I see its recommended to have 0.5mg of arimidex every day to keep the estrogen levels down and keep the side effects to a minimum,
for a 10 week cycle, would you recommend take 0.5mg every day of that 10 week cycle or go 14 days on 14 days off?

I wouldn't recommend using steroids at your age, it will have a negative effect on your natural testosterone what is still developing. Look into your diet and training for further gains and if done correctly this will build a great foundation for when your ready to cycle.

.25mg**** run it day 1 until pct also do it natural for abit more don't touch gear trust me i regret it myself

If u cant grow now its because your not eating properly and gear doesnt make u grow without food u still need to eat or else what you put on you will lose just like i did..

i was 18 when i made this account, im 21 now,
i know still a bit young accroding to most of the people on this forum
My base is decent, i been training for about 4 years, diet and training is well in plaace, wouldnt touch gear if it wasnt
Im just asking questions for research sake though,
did 0.25mg daily work well for you? how minimum were the side effects while on this dosage? no gyno?

[anthg89]

It all depends if your prone to gyno.. start at .25mg and see how it goes if u start seeing gyno sides bump it up its all trial and error also if its your first cycle i recommend test e 12weeks not 10. Look at the stickies and do it right if your going ahead and doing it anyways.

Your still to young and you haven't got a good base looking at your previous threads. How much do you weight now? post a picture?
Your risking your natural testosterone and trust me you don't want to be having problems with your dick at your age. Ive been using steroids longer than you have been alive so I know and seen what happens if you search this forum its full of young guys crying because they have zero sex drive and cant get hard. IMHO do not touch and sort your diet out and learn how to train properly because you may think you diet and training is good but its not with your stats.

There isn't an exact age were we all stop developing and growing because this is determined by our genes and DNA, we are all genetically programmed individually and we inherit our genes from our parents. To give an exact age we stop growing would be incorrect because everyone's genetic blueprint is different.The main development of our bodies is up to the age of 21yrs of age but this can vary between individuals. There are parts of our bodies what carry on developing and adjusting slowly up until the age of 25yrs old, an example of this is the brain. The Endocrine system is a part of the brain what is very complex and keeps our bodies in a homeostasis state. Our testosterone levels start raising and roughly peak around 25yrs old and then start to slowly decline, so even though some of us may have stopped growing at the age of 21yrs old, others may still be developing up until the age of 25yrs old.

I have recently spoken to my Endo regarding this matter and he tells me that the HPTA is very sensitive and as many pathways how it regulates the human body, he states steroids disrupt the normal balance of hormones in the body which can cause reversible and irreversible changes at any age but risks are far more if you administrate exogenous androgens during development, this will put you in a very unnatural environment at a crucial time and your hormones should be treated with care especially in the early stages of maturity. The adverse effects can be erratic behaviour of the HPTA and potentially therapy when your older.

I did ask him what age he would think would be the safest as far as risk to damages and he said many endocrinologist suggest full maturation is reached by 25 years of age and this would also give the HPTA time to be established with your natural hormone balance and patterns. I personally feel 24-25yrs old would also be ideal starting point to get bloodwrok drawn to see exact what your natural levels are before starting any kind of cycles and waiting till you have reach your testosterone peak would be a good starting point, for me there is to much evidence over the forums and what I've seen personally over the last 25yrs I've been bodybuilding. Obviously it isn't going to be all 19- 21yr old bodybuilders who suffer side effects what are irreversible but I am edging on the side of caution what age I advice to the newbies.
