    It is a personal preference. I find it easier to cut when my E2 levels are on mid-low range. Lower E2 suppresses my appetite and helps me handle the sugar cravings. But again, thats me.
    Adex is more potent than aromasin but not too much like letrozole. So its a little harder to crash your E2 with it.
    It doesn’t mean you can’t cut as easy with aromasin.
    E2 makes your cells store more glycogen. Which in return, turns your cells into hypertonic state. This means to get into isotonic state, your cells are going to suck more water into them. This is what we call water retention. Yes, sodium is a direct cause of water retention but if E2 is present, there are many different mechanisms involved.
    Of course, the water retention makes your muscles look fuller and glycogen also increases athletic performance. But not managed properly, you are going to look bloated.
    This is where potent AIs come handy

    Basically Adex lowers estrogen more efficient and effective with less dosing, therefore it's drying you out through the mechanism of lowering estrogen.

    Aromasin will do the same, but it will require more money than a comparable dose of Adex will.

    Got it. Thats of course if your goal is to dry out.

    Im trying to relate the information he provided with my next/first cycle where I will be using Aromasin (12.5 eod). Im not necessarily trying to dry out or completely suppress my E2. I just want to experience the cycle and learn how my body handles test... and with that, not let my E2 get out of control. Good stuff though. I just learned something new.

    The thing is aromasin should be daily.

    Ive read that. Heres my thought on that, let me know if Im wrong for this.

    I want to see how my body converts T to E2. Ive read that some people dont convert very much, so Im keeping it at eod until I do blood work and see how I do. If E2 does come back high Ill start taking Aromasin daily. Or if I start noticing bloating or God forbid gyno symptoms early on, Ill start taking it daily.

    That's perfect idea.

    Go off blood work.
