    you reckon mate?

    in my experiences, he'd be best off starting the adex. i'd tren related gyno flare up during summer and 7days into .5mgs adex eod wiped it straight out. taking the nolva will only inhibit binding rather than lower the estro like adex would.

    i always used to rely on nolva for gyno control, i found adex a much more superior control, my gains took off like a rocket again, nolva during cycle would have made me feel sluggish before.

    At the end of the day this is a personal choice, its all about what works better for each individual as we all respond differently, example nolva works better for me and adex better for you...

    I like nolva better because many under estimate the importance of estrogen when cycling, without slightly elevated estrogen levels building new muscle tissue becomes almost impossible. The other thing to consider is the estrogen rebound from adex, because adex is only a blocker many including myself suffer a huge rebound once the cycle is over so we have massive amounts of estrogen when its not wanted.........

    If i was estrogen prone and needed to run an ai from the beginning of a cycle then my first choice would be stane for its ability to kill estrogen, nolva would be my choice if gyno was my only issue.....
    Do not ask me for a source check.

    i cut my adex dose down gradually as per swifto's advice and was fine. i think 99% on here do well on .5 adex as far as killing estro too much.

    as an example, on 250mg test e and 350mg tren a had my estro at 5x more than it should be according to a blood test, that is way too much estro to be floating around anyones system, nolva wouldnt have lowered that just would have prevented binding. i went on .5 eod adex and felt like a new man, lighter on my feet, slept better, the growing lumps under my nips disappeared and gains took off like a rocket again.

    can you tell me how i would taper off the a dex if running 0.5mg EOD, started last night. how long should i run it this way for.? i can't cut them more than in half so lowest accurate dose i can take it 0.5mg. what would you recommened.

    When an AI is ued and estrogen is controlled correctly, gyno shouldnt arise, nor should other estrogenic sides. However, if they do, I always suggest a burst of Tamox as well. I run Aromasin 10mg/ED or EOD (depending on cycle), so I also dont have to worry about Tamox reducing plasma concentrations of Arimidex.

    Arimidex is outdated and I dont know why some still use it. Its also directly toxic to joints and quite harsh on lipids. Aromasin, in my experience, is not.

    I'm not sure I follow here mate.

    You shouldnt get a rebound of estrogen during PCT, or after. An eestorgen rebound only occurs in healthy eugondal males, when endogenous testosetrone has been increased (change in A:E ratio) and then the AI or SERM is rapidly stopped. Due to the extra testosterone it aromotases and there is nothing now blocking estrogen (AI/SERM). So what occurs, massive anounts of estrogen cause problems.

    Estorgen is low during PCT, because endo. T is low. If your having some sort of rebound during this time, then your steroids are still active in the blood. Total testosterone is still high because of exogenous testosterone. Therefore, you should stay on the AI, get TT BW done and go from there.

    The PCT start time for 1500mg/wk Test Enan for 12 weeks is NOT the same as the PCT start time for 400mg/wk for 12 weeks. TT takes time to come down and thats when we can restart the HPTA.

    The reduction in IGF is marginal. I'm talking 10-12% in studies. Add in the fact that exogenous testosterone INCREASE IGF, then you can kiss goodbye (not you personally) to the theory of the "AI's/SERMs reduce IGF and limit gains argument."

    Your right Matt, they do reduce IGF, but it wont effect gains, not IMHO. No chance.

    If estrogen is crushed to zero, then yes, that may hurt gains, but not that you'de notics.

    Dont need to taper or Arimidex on cycle. Do your final shot of Test Enan, wait 10-20 days (depending on dose) to start PCT. Keep running the AI until 3-4 days out from PCT.
