Running adex through my whole cycle?

[jat]

Hey guys I am just gonna write this out in point form so it is easier to read:

-Ran my first cycle about 8 months ago
-It was a 12 week cycle of test e at 250mg twice per week
-During my cycle I ran adex at 0.5mg every other day all the way up until pct
-I am now about to start my second cycle which is the same as my first with the addition of tbol at 50mg every day for the first 5 weeks
-I was originally going to run the adex again the same way as last time but I just saw a video in the icecreamfitness channel (I'm sure many of you will recognize the channel) where he talks about adex hindering your gains
-Now I am on the fence about whether or not to run because on one hand I want to maximize my gains, but on the other hand I don't really want to bloat up like a balloon or have a gyno flare up
-I do have a bit of pre-existing gyno that I have had since I was around 15 but it has remained the same size since then
-Thanks in advance for any advice you guys have

Here are my stats that I just copied from another thread I had:

Height: 6'1

Weight: 202 lbs

Bodyfat Percentage: 8%

Age: 25

Years Training: Around 5 years in the gym

Cycle History: I ran my first cycle last year (August 2012-October 2012) with a 30 day PCT afterwards. The cycle consisted of 250mg of test e twice per week for the first 8 weeks and then 300mg of test e twice per week for the last 4 weeks. Along with the test I also ran 0.5mg of arimidex every other day throughout the whole cycle all the way up till when I started my PCT. My PCT consisted of 20mg of nolvadex for 30 days, and 100mg of clomid for the first 20 days and 50mg of clomid for the last 10 days. A note on the PCT, I wanted to run 40/40/20/20 for the nolvadex and 100/50/50/50 for the clomid but I had to alter it slightly to match with what I had. I put on 22 lbs on my cycle and my bodyfat increased from about an 8% to an 11-12%. I kept 20 lbs of this after PCT.

Training: I am currently doing a Push/Pull/Legs routine that I do twice a week leaving me with 6 training days and 1 rest day each week. I also work abs a few times a week as well as however much cardio I need depending on my goals.

Diet: I have a good understanding of diet and I track all my macros religiously. My maintenance is somewhere in the range of 3600 calories and I am currently cutting on 3200. On my last cycle I was up to around 4500 at around 330P/580C/90F. The majority of my calories came from your typical "bro foods" like chicken, steak, fish, white and sweet potatoes, rice, nuts, olive oil, and a lot of veggies.

Gains will not be hindered in any way at such a dose.

I wouldn't run a cycle without an AI, but I've always used aromasin.

Yea I couldn't get my hands on any aromasin my connects are really pissing me off these days they aren't moving too much shit right now. So you think at 0.5mg eod I don't need to worry about "hindering my gains?"

Would you rather get gyno? There are a lot of guys out there that do things different.Not safe but different.We do them safe and they dont hinder your gains.Fuk ice cream!

bumping this because i wanted to add another question...
lets say i run the adex at 0.5mg eod for the cycle all the way up to pct, can i just stop all together when i start pct or should i taper off in regards to any sort of rebound effect?

Try running your adex at .25 mgs eod and increase as needed if your gyno prone letro seems to be better did u use an AI when u got gyno? I can run 500mgs of test with adex at .25mgs eod and don't have problems. My buddy is gyno prone he runs adex .5 mgs and still gets sore nipples he has to run letro to avoid problems

motoxposse: my gyno is from when i was a teenager not from aas use. i got it when i was 15 and it never went away. it did not seem to grow at all while on cycle though it has been the same size for ages. so if my gyno did not get any worse on my last cycle and i would say i am not "gyno prone".

You do not need to run an ai during pct that's what you pct meds are for.

jim230027: yea i know that but i was more curious if it was ok to just stop the adex completely vs tapering off because i know the non suicidal ais can cause a bit of a rebound effect

Your pct meds will stop or compete at the receptor with any circulating E from binding to your mammary glands if that's what you are concerned about?

Thanks that is exactly what i was looking for!
