    reducing estrogen without killing strength

    Is it possible?
    Looking to reduce estrogen while on a Test only cycle but I am training for strength (powerlifting/strongman).
    I have read that things like Arimidex can cause you to lose some strength.

    Any suggestions?

    You can reduce estrogen with an AI ( Aromatise Inhibitor) like a-dex or aromasin, the trick is the balance your estrogen rather than kill it so if you have elevated estrogen consider taking an AI. Blood work will be able to tell you if you have high levels of estrogen.

    i thought i was fine estro wise until i got a shocking reading of x5 what it should be, indicated by blood work. went on .5 adex eod and magic began to happen, my strength went up considerably. i too train primarily for strength, so you shouldnt see a drop, just find the dosage that works but i wouldnt do anymore than .5 eod.

    but just to re-cap, get the bloods done and come back and post where your levels are

    Odd, anytime I reduce estrogen even a little, my strength drops.

    you may be taking to much. I only use .25mg of a-dex 3 x a week on high dose of test
    If people can't tell your on steroids then your doing them wrong

    Think decreased strength is only any issue if you wipe estrogen out completely. Stay away from letrozol and you should be good.

    Agreed. So many people go straight 2 the Letro cuz its like the "Special Forces" of AI's, bust most people don't realize just how effective the tiniest bit of that stuff is, I'd say Letro should b kept on hand 4 the god forbidden, case of uncontrollable, "emergency Gyno". But not as an on cycle AI.
