Any need for an AI while cruising?

I'm currently cruising on a 150mg test P EW in addition to HCG 500IU EW. It's a very modest dose, I know, but it's largely keeping my post cycle weight on which is my goal. My question is shall I throw in an intermittent dose of say 6.25 mg of Aromasin to curb any aromatisation?

Blood work or symptoms? Otherwise, who knows

Test p is a bitch to cruise on.
The pinning gets so old

I'm used to it, no issues.

TRT and prop?

Technically, you can do TRT or cruise on prop. The problem is the halflife of the prop being in your system is so low you end up having to pin yourself everyday just to have stable test levels. You're better off running test cypionate and pinning less frequently. If you're going to run 150mg of test a week, you're probably better off going to a trt clinic or getting put on TRT through a physician. At least then, there will be regular bloodwork involved and depending on your insurance, it may be covered by it (although it's not usually covered, but that's a matter of dealing with insurance and specific plan).

you are a maniac.lol

there is tough, then there is tripmachine.

But can he take a punch in his 4 injection sites? Or is it too tender from all the pinning?

Unless you're fucking prone to high E2

Personally liked and presently like using .25mg of arimidex the day after I inject my test e. .75mg 2x/wk. started TRT around 16% years ago, the TRT, Arimidex and regular training and solid diet got me to 12% in about 6 months.

Blasting added more size, then Covid added a lot more fat, lol. Now I’m approaching 12% again with that same regiment of TRT and Arimidex that got me the improvements in the beginning.

Will do BW again after dropping another 10-15 pounds of fat.

Your diet must have been tight as well.

Oh yeah, plus a ton of cardio.

Point being though, for my genetic makeup & maybe my age, keeping my estrogen on the lower range agrees with me. When I did BW just on TRT with the arimidex originally, I was never too low, just in the lower ranges. At that time though, I was doing .5 twice a week. Add to that, at that time as well, on this forum, using arimidex and keeping Estrogen a little lower was not as frowned upon as it is now. The pendulum has just swung the other way (right or wrong?). I feel going with what works best for you is something to keep in mind as we all can respond differently.

If he’s cruising on 150 mgs of test P a week, he had bigger issues than “curbing some aromasation”. It’s an absolutely arbitrary question with nothing but a silly answer. Who knows dude…I hope you mean Cyp or Enth. And I highly doubt you need to add anything at all

An AI is needed if your estrogen rises to an abnormal level while on trt. And yeah, no way i would cruise on test P seems very pointless to do so pinning every day….just throwing that out. Bloodwork is needed to see where your estrogen is sitting on the 150mg dose, if its high then yeah you would need an ai if you wanted to be in the normal range. Only way to know is pull blood, then take a recommended dose of AI, pull blood again. Just that simple

^^That is your gold level response.

OP, if you are feeling good and not having any high estrogen negatives, I would say leave the AI alone. If you have symptoms or just don't feel right, verify with blood work as @Cuz suggested before randomly adding an AI. It could make matters worse.

Feel fine, no symptoms, but I want to be sure so will pull bloods.

Yep, gonna request bloods to be sure, but no symptoms and feel good which i guess led me to question if i needed one

I have a load of prop which I want to use up, but will consider switching to enanthate or cyp after my next cycle.

Thanks
