    0.25mg eod is the rule of thumb due to the half lifefor general cycles. But i use 0.5ed because i am estro sensitive.
    what is your cycle?

    Just bite or cut your pills in half/quarter a bit bigger or smaller size is fine know need to be pedantic. Don't think of it in days. The first day you pin take arimidex none the next day then take it the day after that etc etc etc till pct

    This same exact question has been answered for you in your last three cycle threads.

    Arimidex should be taken every other day.

    Every time I've used it, it's been 1mg so I'd take one every 3 days. It depends on how sensitive you are to Estrogen and how much aromatisation is going on.

    OP's cycle is 600mg/week test, 400mg/week deca and 50mg/day of dbol .

    He doesn't need 2.3mg/week of dex.

    Jon take 0.5mg EOD then pull labs at week 6-8 that include a sensitive estradiol assay.

    If you experience high/low e2 sides early on then pull a estradiol assay sooner.

    You mean you didn't experience any physical side effects of elevated e2, or you had a sensitive estradiol assay and the result was in range?

    If he takes 0.5 eod he's still taking 2mg per week

    Your algebra is incorrect.

    0.5*3.5=1.75

    There's 7 days in a week.

    Every other day is the same as saying every second day.

    Therefore 7/2=3.5

    e.x. If you pin 75mg of tren a EOD then your taking 263mg/week of tren.

    75*3.5=262.5

    The reason I said 2mg was because if he takes 0.5 eod mon/wed/fri/sun then 0.5*4=2

    7(days in a week) divide 2(because your doing it every 2nd day) that equals 3.5 is the number of days in the week 3.5 times 0.5 equals 1.75.

    Is this the simplest form?

    I understand your point but you should think of a cycle/blast linearly in days (1, 2, 3, 4 etc.) not days of the week.

    For instance a typical 12 week long ester cycle is 84 days with a 14 day washout period followed by a 28 day PCT.

    It doesn't matter much if you pin twice a week on Sunday and Wednesday.

    However helps significantly with ordering and and dosing ancillaries.

    The difference between taking 2.3mg/week of dex and 1.75mg/week is 0.55mg, that's a significant amount.

    So if he pins on monday he will take it. Then wednsday then friday then sunday. Thats four days. But the next week he will take it on tuesday then thursday then saturday thats 3 days etc etc so its avreged at 3.5 times in a 7 day week.
    No need to complicate it. Take it one day then skip the next repeat till pct

    Alright It's a different way than I've done it in the past. I never said that you were wrong but I definitely appreciate your exploration

    It's cool, I could under your intention by your tone.

    I don't think anyone is necessarily right here, as there's a time and place for everything, just that OP would benefit from more exact dosing because of his circumstances.

    For example there's guys in the TRT forum who have good labs when pinning twice a week and taking dex twice a week on the day after pinning.

    There's a significant amount of aromatization difference between 150-175mg/week of test and 680mg/week of aromatizing compounds plus dbol .

    Do you know how much fertilizer you need per meter or meter^2?

    Some guys will run ARIMIDEX EOD but you can get buy with less dosing like 2 x per wk and adjust only if needed.

    The op would probably be just fine using the KISS method and taking .5 on M-W-F and skipping weekends. I say this as otherwise you'll no doubt have several "oh shit" moments of "did I take my dex yesterday or not?" Happens to the best of us.


    I'll check back later when I figure out the fertilizer question.....

    OP, taking 0.5mg eod left me feeling exhausted and generally fatigued. I've since reduced my dose to 0.25 eod on the guidance of others on the forums, and feel much better with the lower dose. Just my 2 cents bro
