Importance of AI during cycle

[MuscleInk]

I used to be a "AI on hand in case of sides" guy and it resulted in my blood pressure spiking so high that I had to stop a cycle once. I felt fine, but "feeling" is not a good gauge of health. How many people feel fine five minutes before a heart attack.

Now that I run an AI I was still surprised to find out my E2 was at 300 not too long ago. So, not only is it important to run an AI, but it is important to get blood work done (E2 test is $45 here) to make sure it is used correctly.

Great advice by JV. A lot of young and new guys believe an AI is only needed to prevent or treat gyno. Increasing estrogen can cause so many problems far greater than man boobs and your vanity won't matter if you stroke out.

It just doesn't make sense to manipulate your testosterone and not control your estrogen.

I agree 100 % but i also think if you are doing this responsibly you should be running labs before after and during cycle so you can determine the coorect amount of AI to run

True. Pre, intra, and post labs are wise. Unfortunately finding a precise dose is tricky. Total doses, concentrations, compounds in a stack, bf, and other factors will affect AI efficacy. BW is a great idea but sometimes Finding the best AI dose is a challenge especially because everyone may have a different "sweet spot" or optimal range for E2.
