Using a SERM during cycle instead of an AI?

[Elias0086]

I have heard many debates about the advantages and disadvantages of using an AI or SERM during cycle. The common standard seems to be AI during cycle and SERM for PCT. Can a person safely and successfully complete a cycle of 500mg of testosterone a week using the SERM Nolvadex along side with it? That is using no AI during the cycle. If so how much Nolvadex should be taken?

Nolvadex won't keep your estrogen in check. It will just keep you from growing breasts. High estrogen levels are very bad for you. Growing breasts is just the most noticeable issue. Stroke,heart attack, low(no) sex drive just to name a few.

I suggest getting an ai.

An AI is important in cycle to keep e2 in check but that doesn't mean you won't get gyno flare ups. Dialing the correct dosage for an AI can be tricky especially without bloodwork. Not enough and the sides go through the roof too much and you crash your e2 and feel like crap. A rule of thumb when starting a cycle is adex at .25 eod and adjust from there. If you are prone to gyno then keep nov on hand and use it with the AI to combat gyno flair ups. When to start it? If you are running drol and know you will prob will have issues then you could run 10 mgs a day and increase to 20 mgs a day if you detect gyno or...... Just wait to see if it is necessary at all. I usually wait to see what happens.
