Why is it important to run an AI when on cycle?

[Swifto]

Do you suggest using an ai all the way up to pct or just up till last pin?

Drop it 3-4 days from beginning PCT.

"Inside the prostate, prolactin attaches to its receptor that belongs to the cytokine 1 receptor superfamily and is localized in chromosome 5. In addition the receptor
has 2 domains that are separate in the resting state but that become homodimerized once they are joined to prolactin. In this manner intracellular signaling is produced by means of JAK-STAT kinases.

Once prolactin is attached to its receptor that carries out tyrosine kinase activity, it phosphorylates JAK 2 and STAT-1, 3 and 5a and b. Later on STAT-5 a/b dimers are formed and they are translocated to the nucleus to act on DNA sequences which in turn activate promoter sequences for prostate cell proliferation, differentiation and survival, in normal as well as malignant cells."

....Exactly what I was thinking!

Great thread. I´d use Aromasin again.

Exactly.

With arimidex what is the ideal dosage during cycle? 0.5mg eod it s ok?

[NewMuscle83]

Just to make sure I understand, while I'm priming with gh (4iu for 6 weeks) just keep the aromasin on hand, but once I add in the test p/tren a for the next 6 weeks, dose aromasin at 12.5 eod?

I'm not planning to get off by the way, I'm probably going to cruise on 4iu and 250 mg test for a while, so I guess no pct after the initial 12 weeks, but continue aromasin until I eventually cycle off. Right?

Thanks again.

do you think DHT based aas are enough to lower the estrogen like primo or mast-e???

Get BW done when you lower the Test, but use Aromasin when ramping steroid doses, yes.

I can use less, but not subsititute.

how important is it to run an AI when on a sus250 only cycle. I was told it wasnt necesary. But make sure i have Nolva and clomid on hand for PCT 2 weeks after last injection. And what is the best Ai for sus250??

Go back to the beginning of this thread and read the information Swifto presented.

Why are you using such a small amount and shutting your system down,thats not much more than TRT amount.It doesnt seem like it's worth going through all the problems and side effects for such a small amount of steroids, having to use an AI then doing PCT. Sure you might make some small gains but it hardly seems worth it,500mg a week seems like a more appropiate amount. Not trying to be a jerk but that just seems like a small amount especially since sustanon was intended to given 250mg once a week for TRT. I could see it if you have low test.are you going to use more than 250mg a week,like 250mg twice a week or just 250mg once a week.

[arico]

ummm what? where did i write i was using a low amount? i intended on doing 500mg a week? where did u get 250mg from?

[MR10X]

From this,it doesnt state how many shots or how much a week you will be doing. Really need to know the total amount to tell you how much AI to use....
"how important is it to run an AI when on a sus250 only cycle."

[arico]

oh i see, im doing a 10 week cycle and ive just ordered tamox. clomid and liquidex. So??

Just goes to show how much emphasis this site and its members put on doing things as safely as possible. Thanks to our vets and those who take time to research extensively, there is a culture here of doing things properly.

I joined this site and read for months and figured our protocols for safe use and especially pct were standard. I have since joined a hand full of other popular BB sites which I visit on occasion. I have noticed that no other sites, in my experience, put a priority on full recovery and moderate AAS use like this site does. I've seen top mods on other sites condoning no pct, or garbage protocols like hcg + adex for 4 weeks.

I am truly greatful that this is the first site I started really researching on and joined. If I were to listen to the advice on some other forums, who knows what crazy advice I would have received.

This site has no alterior motvies, thats why.

Awesome thread Swifto, favorited.

You have touched on Arom being better then Adex simply because of less damage on the body but how much damage are we talking here?

I ask because I just stocked up on some Adex and considering its half life it works perfectly alongside my trt without me having to go out of my way. M/W/F .5mg each day

Im not above dishing out more cash to pick up some aromasin but dosing adex 3x weekly or even 2x weekly is about a 100 times more convienent for my work schedule and general life.

Tell me im stupid and ill go order some Aromasin and bitch n moan while taking it ED lol.

Well said! This is my go to for almost all information BB related now. Not only is the AAS information priceless, the nutrition and workout information is WAY ahead of anywhere else.

I couldn't agree more with you. This site is by far the most responsible, and it teaches others to be accountable for their actions. And as members we have an obligation to provide or search the most up to date information available, and to protect young people from damaging their developing systems as best we can.

I'm so proud to be a member on this site. I look forward to learning and providing assistance whenever I can.

When (at how many weeks is what I am getting at) should I get blood work done and I should pay attention to the Estradiol number and what range should I try and get at. I am going to be running 100mg Test Prop ED and 100mg Anavar (8 weeks) for 12 weeks altogether.

[Awesome_Archy]

Great post really cleared things up.

Thanks Swifto

[NewMuscle83]

What's your opinion on adding prov? Will that mean I take less aromasin?

My cycle I'm ready to start is 4iu gh, 300mg test e/week, and 80mg anavar. I was thinking of adding prov at 50mg ed. Should I still add aromasin at 12.5 eod.

Thanks.

Marginal.

AI's lower IGF by anything from upto about 20%. Never seen anymore than that.

However, exogenous testostrone and other androgens will increase IGF levels, so may nagate this negative effect.

Why dont you just run Aromasin at 7-10mg/ED?

Your Estradoil needs to be below 49 (max) IMO. Mid to low ranges is fine.

Great post really cleared things up.

Proviron, in my experience, is bullshit at combating estrogenic sides, nor do I know how much it will LOWER estrogen. AI's are proven.

Bump for the bros

Bump for the bros that are injecting their AI´s

Learning is fun!

I just purchased an AI for my next cycle. Thanks for the info.

Arimidex during cycle, what's the story with half-lives, etc?
Should I be at 12.5mg ED, or .25mg EOD?

[BigGuy90]

Arimidex is not dosed at 12.5mg ed. That would be stane. Adex usually .25 or even .5 ed

[MR10X]

adex and letro has a 48 hour half life,aromasin has a 24 hour half life.clomid and nolvadex have a 6 day half life.HCG has a 36 hour half life.If you kill all your estro you will have ED,keeping it a normal range wont effect it.

[gearbox]

Agree on the adex. Most start with .5 and keep it.there

Awesome info, thanks. Arimidex .25 ED, or .5 EOD it is then, I assume. does it really matter ED vs. EOD?

[jasc]

Haven't seen it mentioned in this thread yet.. What would you dose letro at for a standard cycle (500mg/wk test)? .5mg eod? .5mg e3d? .25mg ed/eod?
