aromatase prevention and PCT

[tadpoleboyy]

lets say i want to run a cycle at 600mg /wk test E and 20mg/day dbol. Obviously i need some ancillaries during my cycle or im guna grow tits. Ive noticed lion is having a sale on letro. SO.. Would it be a good idea to run letro the whole cycle, perhaps at a somewhat substandard dose, and then increase that dose to .25mg /day for PCT? Do i even need the tamox or clomid, or would this be feasable? Or should i run a different AI during the cycle and something else after? keep in mind lion has a sale... and im in college...

Why do you say you'll grow tits on such moderate doses? Your test is an average dose, and the dbol is a low dose. Do you already know you're gyno-prone or estrogen sensitive?
You don't run an AI like letrozole during PCT. That was written to attract attention; not because bloodwork backs it up. Run a SERM for PCT. And yes you could keep the letrozole on hand for IF you have any gyno symptoms.

600/wk may be average for some, but i wouldnt call that moderate in terms of your bodies natural limits... I got gyno of 250/wk test and 50/day dbol, both aromatize easily. I dont see why i couldnt run letro for pct, besides that fact that prolonged lack of estrogen may not be the healthiest. If anything i think that taking a little tamox with the letro could help lipid profiles.

Just depends what theory you believe in I guess. You have guys who for years saw bloodwork saying it wasn't good to use a non-steroidal AI during PCT, and I agree. The goal is to get back to NORMAL. Not to fight as using an AI does. So then after PCT you end up with major rebound issues and it just puts you in a bad place. At least, unless you understand the pharmacokinetics VERY well, and it sounds like you are close but not there yet.

You haven't mentioned being convinced of using a SERM is the main point, until now. What SERM will you be using? Letrozole doesn't stimulate HPTA upregulation on its own ya know.

But yeah man, run a low dose of letrozole (or better yet, anastrozole or exemestane) if you feel the need. But I wouldn't do it until you have symptoms.

ok im thinking about proviron now. So what would be a better choice for my AI and PCT, letro ED of the cycle and thru pct, or proviron 25mg ED of the cycle and through pct? pct will also include tamox, and maybe clomid.

id personally buy the arimidex (liquidex at lion) - letro is VERY strong and hard to dose at the required 0.25mg (0.1ml)..
and only use IF NEEDED.

then run the nolva and clomid with the arimidex for pct... run the nolva one to two weeks longer than the arimidex to stop any rebound...
