HCG should stay the same thats basically a minimum dose. 250 iu HCG pretty much maintains intratesticular testosterone levels https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/15713727

Good choice on the exemestane. Harder to go wrong with it as it has a limit to how low it can take your estrogen and you don't get an estrogen rebound once you come off it.
I was basing the 250mg off of the Beginner Cycle article. I also have a friend who is only running 100mg/week and is seeing good results. My dosage is still undecided for now.

The article states than an A.I. should still be used weeks 1-14 at 0.25mg EOD. I see your point though, maybe not entirely necessary but I will still be sure to have some on hand Incase of any gyno or other side effects.

Is 250iu every 3.5 days of HcG necessary with that low dose of test E (250mg)? Someone from my gym who has been on steroids for years has told me only to run it at the end of my cycle during my PCT as it could hinder results.
On top of that, Dylan Gemelli (unsure of how reliable he is) has said to only run HcG during the last 4 weeks of the cycle.
I just want to have a good idea of how much and when HcG I should be using.
