arimidex

[BornAgainPagan]

ok i just started my cycle and i have nolva, clomid AND arimidex. i originaly got the arimidex with the intention of taking it throughout the cycle, however this is my first cycle and i want all the gains i can get and keep. i have been told that arimidex can inhibit gains. now, i'm willing to lose out on a little gain if i can avoid excessive sides. should i go ahead with the arimidex or wait and see if i have alot of sides or what? any one got an opinion on this?

what is ur cycle?

 

[BornAgainPagan]

500mg sust weeks 1-10 250mg e4d
300mg deca weeks 1-8
start clomid 3 weeks after last inj.
nolvadex if needed

 

[Little Rage]

i would suggest starting with .25mg ed. If you begin to retain a lot of water increase it to .5mg ed.

I hate to be a party pooper, but I use one of the best known doctors in the AAS business, and he upped me to 1mg of Arim idex three times a day. I was on a pile of product and this may be why. One drawback- the only one I saw- it affected the IGF-1 conversion of my HGH regimen. Anyone have a similar experience?

3mg of A-dex a day??? That's way more than I have ever heard of anyone using.

I like the 1mg or 1.5mg daily Arimidex. I don't know anyone for whom this doesn't work. Remember, aromatization is a big problem for those with high bf% (15+), so they need more protection. Also, thsoe with past histories of gyno need to keep dosing of aromatase inhibitors as optimal as possible. 1.0mg or 1.5mg of arimidex should be sufficient to combat estrogenic sides from the indicated sust dosing. You will have to keep an eye on prolactin/progesteronic sides from DECA. You may have to adjust down the DECA injections to 200mg weekly if you suffer sides. Or you can add Dostinex or stack some Winstrol. It is your choice, but you have to vigilant.

Lastly, your PCT is inadequate for that cycle. You have choices. You can run HCG during your cycle (250-500U three times weekly) to maintain testicular mass. Then run the Nolvadex 20mg daily the week after the last injection--for six weeks. If necessary, you can stack Clomid 50mg with Novladex 20mg. Or you can do a PCT as follows:

Starting the week after last AAS injection:
Weeks one thru three: 1,000U of HCG, IM, Monday, Wed, Fri; 20mg nolvadex daily; 50mg clomid daily (if needed).
Weeks four thru six: 20mg Nolvadex daily; 50mg clomid daily.
Weeks seven, eight: clean.

Given your proposed AAS cycle and your proposed PCT, it will take most people months to recover. Perhaps you have superior genetics and you have done this PCT cycle before.

thank you, it looks like i have a little more to learn about pct.

In my experience arimidex WILL NOT inhibit your gains, however nolvadex can.

From my experience, when running arimdex or liquidex is that there is not this massive water gain during the cycle, thus not as bad of a drop off afterwards. It does seem to inhibit strenth gains a little, but the gains you make are solid, no just excessive water bloat that will drop off as soon as your cycle ends.

I like .25mg /every 200 mg of test works good for me. If you start adding other agents then that is whole nother ball game. arimedex is only effect with agents that convert to estrogen.
