Hi to all. I wondered if even with short esters, it's a best practice to take an AI after the third day when cycle starts. What do you think ? I suppose with short esters, it could be take it from the first day shot...
Thank you !

I'd suggest either day of shot day or day after to start... Any cycle even long esters you'd still want to follow this advice...Quote:

So by reducing the aromatization you will have less estrgen, maybe is better to reduce the number of enzymes before injecting a short ester.
Short esters release to blood a large amount of hormone in a very short time, better to have low level of aromatize enzyme before it storms the blood, or a large amount might easily be converted.
Very nice BB - great explanation...Quote:

Today i did first 100mg of Test Prop but i didn't take AI still. I will use Aromasin. My blood work is regular with a good profile ( i follow a perfect diet every day ). I'm going to stack with 300mg/week of Test Prop and 500mg/week of DECA for 10-12 weeks. I want to go careful with AI ( Aromasin ) as time ago i took it too much from the beginning ( 25mg/ED ) and i felt a shit since the same day i did the first shot of Test Prop; i did a blood work after about 6 days, and my estrogens was very very low! I decided to stop the cycle so, because i had to be very careful and healthy at work. Now i'm trying agan, and today after the first shot, i didn't take an AI and this time, i felt very well....
So i'm wondering when to begin to take it and primarily HOW MUCH. I'm afraid to crash estrogens again...
I think i could start with a progressive raising of dosages. I'm going to inject 100mg of Test Prop EOD, so 3 times at week and 250mg of DECA 2 times at week ( 500mg )....
If your running stane - and 25mgs/day crashed your E2 then start w/either 12.5mgs/day total(split it in two - 6.25mgs every 12 hrs and take with a serving of fat) your bw is gonna be your deciding factor on your dose as 300mgs at your BF will I'm sure require an AI - if you think 12.5 is too much lower it to 6.25mgs/day but it's much harder to crash E2 with exemestaneQuote:

It could be strange, but my estrogens was very very low, and my healthy level is around 27,5 as now, while when it happened, it was to 6,10 ! A shit... i felt as a shit... very bad...Quote:

Most ugl is letro.
Deca and prop is a bit strange hehehe :)
Yes. I did several times the bw in that lab, even off cycle; and when i'm off cycle, the values are all in a perfect range. It's not hard to suppose the bw was correct when that happened, because i felt a very shit. Further i remember that in 15 days, my HCT raised to 51.5% and as many others said, with short esters HCT increase quicker than long ones although this is a bit strange in so short period.Quote:

I dont understand the science of short esters holding less water.
Anyone have an explanation for this?
I think the effect is indirect. Short esters, should be allow to control estrogens better.... SHOULD... and maybe is stated that they lead to get less water..... but i think that with short esters, hormonal fluctuations are more difficult to manage....Quote:

My opinion with an AI is to take it starting day 1 and through out the entire cycle. Don't wait until problems appear.Quote:
