Cholesterol Advice

Since estrogen plays a big role in HDL production i’d start off with some more estrogenic compounds, and not use an AI. As long as you’re not very estrogen sensitive

I'll need to refresh myself on exactly how I was going to run the cycle, but part of it was to run test at 400mg/wk and take Nolvadex 10mg/day instead of an AI, partly because I know lowering estrogen can have a negative impact on cholesterol. But I have aromasin on hand just in case I do end up needing it. I only plan using aromasin towards the end of m cycle or after my last pin in order to keep the estrogen lower than test while the test is clearing my system.

Are you suggesting adding something like dbol? I'm just afraid of running into too many side effects on the first cycle, since an unadjusted body seems to get hit the hardest. That's actually why I was going for 400mg instead of the typical 500. I feel like I'm gonna get hit hard by the acne monster so I'm also doing everything I can to avoid that.

500mg still isn’t very much, I doubt you’ll have any issues. Are you predisposed to acne? The only time I really seem to get it when hormones are in fluctuation. Once they settle out not so much. So just don’t freak out if you get some while your levels are rising at the beginning. A good body wash and face scrub will go along way too. Low dose Nolva through out your cycle is better than AI so you’re going in the right direction there. You want your estrogen levels to elevate during a cycle. It’s beneficial. You could add in 20-30mg of dbol a day to kickstart. You’ll be taking the Nolva anyway. If you’re worried about dbol being an estrogen bomb, and you don’t mind paying a little more 50mg of anavar a day would be perfect. Anavar is basically side effect free, and you could run it for 8 weeks or even the whole cycle if you wanted to. Just some ideas.

I think I'm predisposed because anytime I have a fluctuation, like if I work out consistently then stop for 3-4 days....or if I haven't worked out in a while then get back to it consistently...or more recently where I just started doing things to try to increase my test naturally, I get tiny little bumps on my face or shoulders. Not like teenage acne, but tiny little beads that go away after 2-3 days. But I feel like that's a sign that when I get on a cycle, there will be some acne coming my way. Although interestingly enough, I didn't get all that much acne as a teen, compared to most of my peers. So it's hard to say one way or the other. I guess I'll never really know until I do it.
