If you were trying to dry out or prep for a show, then AI use makes more sense, but will hinder growth (as Estrogen is an anabolic hormone).
If your gyno prone, then simply using a low dose SERM is better option then running too much AI
For HCG for a standard 12 week cycle I recommend guys run it from week 6 up until PCT begins
edit - your only running 400mg a week of Test. thats nothing. plenty guys don't use an AI at that dose at all. plus keep in mind that EQ converts into an anti estrogen enzyme in the body, and naturally lowers E over time itself
