Arimidex for this cycle?

[PrairieDawg]

I'm thinking about taking 1mg/day Arimidex for this cycle. Is this too much or should I scale it back to .5 mg/day?

Weeks 1-4: Test Prop 75mg ED
Weeks 1-15: Test E 600mg EW
Weeks 1-14: Eq 500mg EW

Stats
180 lb, 5'11"
26 years old
2nd cycle
10-12% bf

I was also wondering if there's a specific time of day for taking this? (ex. morning on empty stomach, before bed, etc)

why would you stack test prop and test-E in the same cycle?

[MBMETC]

you can start at the.25ed or .50eod take it anytime i usually go with morning
over 1 gram of test for a second cycle is a bit much

what was your first cycle? You did a cycle and you are still 180?

Did you really just ask that? Are you criticizing or seriously asking?

It's my body type. Most people look at me and think I'm over 200. Small waist, hip bone density and low body fat as I pointed out in my original post. Thanks for your concern

Yea that's what I was thinking too. The material I was reading was saying between .5 - 1 mg. Thanks, at least one guy seen that I asked a question!

Yea I heard that from a couple people on here. My first cycle was 500mg test e/week with dbol as a jump start but I didn't feel like I gained what I should have. I felt it was just alot of water weight. Especially from the dbol. And believe me I did my research, and lived, ate, slept and breathed bodybuilding for that period leading up and after it. I think some people are more receptive to the gear than others but mind you that was 5 years ago maybe my metabolism has slowed to a reasonable rate since then, that could have played a factor.

Maybe I can do the first cycle over again and go with this one as a third. It's something I can look into. It would be alot cheaper anyways.

OP you didn't link your original post. Further more I think you will find that the vets agree that at 180 after a cycle- you need to look at your training and diet a bit more closely. Regardless of body structure you should be able to get to 180+ without any gear.

The first post where I stated 10-12% BF. Sorry it's just annoying how I cant make one post with stats without one guy jumping in there saying it's training/diet, as if someone can tell by my stats I'm not eating/training right. I've been training for 10 years. I've done my research in regards to training/dieting. I've read plenty of books on both. I eat so much so often I hate food at this point lol. I bench 305. Tell me I'm not eating and training enough when I'm 180lbs and can bench more than most guys I know that have 30-40 lbs on me.

Sorry again I know you're just trying to help but I find myself having to explain this often and mostly to noobs.

Just asking, it looks weird. I suppose you do it for a quick increase of test levels instead of using dbol?

Maybe your diet wasn't on point I'm sure you become far more educated since that last cycle, maybe consider 50 mgs eod on the prop to get the ball rolling. Your stats are fine if your where you want to be. this cycle should put you at around 190 and with any luck maintain your bf.
What pct do you have lined up and if you say nothing I take back all my previous positive comments about you..lol

I started Arimidex at .5 EOD in 2nd week, increased to .5ED and have now dropped back to .5 EOD. Fighting the itchy nipples for a couple of weeks, just went back to EOD this weekend. I have never had to use it before, but I started with higher bf and i am a older now, 38. Being as the first time i had to use an AI, it was not hard to tell when I needed it between the water retention and nipples.
That is a big cycle. Good luck to your wife/girlfriend and appetite keeping up with you.
