The dose needs to be determined by a few points IMHO.
- Total amount of aromotasable compounds being used
- Choice of compounds being used. For example, DHT's exert anti-aromotase effects, so I use less of my AI when using Winstrol, Primo etc... Because of this.
- 19-Nors, or not or compounds like Test Susp that aromotase heavily
- Bodyfat %. More addipose tissue = more space for aromotase to do its dirty work
- Diet. Certain foods inhibit aromotase more so than others
- Sensitivity to estrogen or estrogen related sides effects (gyno, acne, prostate, water retention)
- The age of the individual. AI's effects on estrogen are not uniform accross all age groups (young/middle aged/old)
- Sex of subject
- Bulking, cutting, pre-contest?
I agree that the lowest dose should be used, also, yes. 0.5mg/ED is a good starting dose with Arimdiex and should be adjusted taking into account the above points.
AI's do not lower estrogen in males as much as they do females.
